| H1-B Visa |
| 04.28.05 (5:35 am) [edit] |
Let's do the math. There's a billion people with degrees around the world so, let's bring them here and replace our entire technology sector.
If the United States needs anything done, we'll just bring whoever has enough money from around the world to the US schools and train them in having a PHD. Then, we'll not have to worry about taking care of those workers because they're not US citizens anyway. Our entire technology sector will consist of foreign help which you could hang-out to dry anytime you want.
Those H1-B visa people will then take all of their knowledge back to their own country and leave the US high and dry.
I know the US doesn't have a lot of trained people, here's why. Why allow illegal immigration to flourish when they don't pay taxes. Since there are less taxes being paid, we have less money for Social Security. Less taxes means less money for the government which means less money for the schools. This means less money to train individuals to work. People overseas are desperate so with less money, we hire people who are in other places with less money and over-population do to corrupt government systems (and if you think the US has a problem with corruption, try going to another country where you have to bribe your way just to get an ID card). So in steps H1-B visa where you allow a foreign worker to come to the United States with a lot of skills but face it, he or she is foreign. Also, they may like the corrupt system their government has but I digress. Being that he's foreign, he doesn't pay taxes and can care little about the US in the first place or really likes the US and wants to stay. Companies like the fact that they're not citzens, cheap, and foreign so they say "let's hire tons of em." They also say, "Hey, does this cheap labor comes in packs"? Meanwhile, the US is getting poorer and poorer from no taxes and no internal innovation because the corporations have turned their backs on the average US citizen, who they happen to be, in favor or cheaper people which further degrades our US school systems and destroys any form of Social Security.
Pretty soon, you're working at a company where almost all of the employees are foreign and any desenting views that involve technology and hiring foreign workers is squashed because your boss is from the country you say sucks because all of the employees are from there.
I'm pretty much saying that before you begin looking elsewhere for technology, remember this: The US school system is the system that taught you. You favor foreign schools systems over the US school system and it's ability to train US workers, it's not a fault of the US citizen, it's the fault of the corporations.
(I know this posts makes little sense but I can't convey the tons of information I feel is relevant with enough clarity right now, and I have to get to work before they bring in some guy with an H1B visa just because he's cheap.)
(Oh yeah, anyone see that banned video on ifilm.com where they say make a plan to rip the US off? Not funny dude ;)
Hiring workers besides US workers include:
- I have to keep reformating my resume even though the technology involved is essntially the same. The recruiters suck and aren't programmers so they don't have a clue if the applicant has the skills or not because if they did, the recruiters would probaly work the job. The people stating that we can't find skilled workers are the recruiters who don't have a clue about the technology because it's brand new and are looking for "buzz words."
- It's like, hmmm, that sounds good.
- A resume that is so buzz worthy that it becomes a buzz game.
- Corporations pushing for just 1 person in the corporations raking in all the profits are the only ones lobbying for globalization of corporations. Pick the best and the brightest, "phew", pick the cheapest with the most buzz words.
- All converstaions with H1B Visa workers seem to be of total fear that they may be viewed as slightly incompentent, not able to understand US culture, and cheap.
- Are you really telling me that out of 20,000 US applicants, you can't find that single programmer who can program that single widget?
- I mean, like, what are they programming here? Give me a single project that you can "actually" convince me that you can't find a US programmer capable of doing. Does names like Dennis Ritche ring a bell? You know, the guys who actually wrote the programming languages in the first place?
- Why did Silicon Valley crash? I'll tell you why, the geeks who did it for the love of programming have been replaced by people who really don't care about the love of programming but just money and desperation.
- Companies list qualifications that have no correalation with skills needed. Can you juggle, program C++, PASCAL COBOL, whatever this is, whatever that is or anything we make up or that we don't understand?
- Why don't the companies be honest and state that they would like to make a major software program and pay everyone shredded wheat thins as compensation.
- The only thing that originally gave workers any rights were unions, you can bust up any union if the workers are spread all over the world.
- Grab yourself a big ship, instead of hiring someone in your city, go to a foreign impoverished country. Teach them that job, bring em here but give em no rights as citizens. Pay them wheat thins as compensation and when the job is done, drop them off and pick up a fresh round of wheat thin recipients. If the workers start to get a clue, weigh anchor and head to somewhere else cheap.

| Subjecation through Indebtness |
| 04.17.05 (11:56 pm) [edit] |
There are many ways to get out of debt for the indivdual.
- Get a loan or grant for a solar power system for around $10,000.
- Get a used "electric" stove.
- Get an "electric" water heater.
- Buy an alternative fuel car and cut the price of gas in half.
(That means take that 100 dollars you have and put 50 of it in your pocket.)
- Somone invent a machine that takes paper, mulches it up in your home, then convert it back to paper
(One person could live off one tree the rest of their lives ... or some material that works like paper and is easy to recycle in your home.)
- Every computer has (free: open source(Meaning: I can see what my software is doing:) ) VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) server installed and everyone simply purchase a digital to analog converter router.
(Geez, I just can't see a reason why all phones should not be digital now.)
A lot of technologies that exist today are umbilical technologies. This means that the technologies that exist today are not meant for you to ever shed your need of them. There should be a point where each person has their "own" source of power that's cheap. A person should be able to make his or her "own" car from parts at a hobby store. A person should be able to make their "own" clothes. A person should be able to create their "own" garden and grow their "own" food.
The world economy would change in the sense that the main product being sold in relation to power would be solar power cells or things that can create more power at a reduced cost. (But do corporations feel that if they give you something that allows you to use just one, would they be able to sell more?)
With growing your own food, you would rarely have to go to the grocery store which would cut down a need for gas.
If you drove a car that was both gas powered and solar powered, it would practically drive forever.
You would never have to pay for hot water or heated food again.
You may still need to pay for water but you never know, it just takes combining Hydrogen with Oxygen to produce water.
You could where some pretty general outfits.
What this means is the country could then "stock pile" gas and electric generated for a rainy day. We would still produce technology but you would not have to buy anything else.
I mean like how does a day go?
You wake up need food
- go to the garden.
You need a hot bath
- Fire up that hot water generator connected to the solar power grid
You need transportation to get to work
- Car is solar powered with a combination of gas/electric so if you don't have money for gas right then, you could get around to when the suns not out.
You need paper at work
- Did you bring your home recyled paper?
You need food.
- Did you bring food from your garden?
Phone calls?
- Bring your WI-FI (Wireless Fidelity) or WIMAX VOIP phone
So in total, what this boils down to is how much does it cost to get to this moment of happiness?
Well, hmmm,
$10,000 Solar Power
$20,000 Car
$2,000 Electric water heater
$400 Electic stove
-------
$32,400
How much do you make a year? $20,000.
How much does it take to pay it off? $5,000 a year, $416 a month.
In 4 years, no more payments. the rest of your money will go on a house.
Total independence.

| home paper machine |
| 04.15.05 (9:16 am) [edit] |
Wouldn't it be great if you could have your own home paper machine. You take a piece of paper. Shred the paper. The machine makes it into a pulp and you have another machine that provides enough pressure to make it flat enough to turn it back to paper.
One person could just require 1 tree.

Maybe our deficit is related to decreased productivity in the work place. To this end, I found a perfect internet link that could erradicate the problem, well, this link and dilbert.com:

Schools refuse to turn to a screen and a central server for students to do all of their school work. I could continue to elaborate but, geez ... it's funny.
Okay, here's a scenario:
One day you walk into class and sit down. You have a pen that you use to write on a pad responsive to your touch. It also has a keyboard.
All data is sent wirelessly to a device above the classroom that relays the data to a central school server.
The school has an in-house programmer who manages the open source software which is used to teach the children.
The school never has to worry about not having current textbooks because all textbooks are updated in real-time and even the teachers get to write a few chapters that are approved by the local school system.
Employers, eager for competent people in their field, consults with the in-house programmers and instructs them on what is required for their business and a templated question and answer chapter is createed and graded online.
If a teacher needs to grade a physical paper. A device that holds a digital camera has a paper placed below the lense. The device has a usb cord and is connected to the computer. The teacher snaps a picture of the paper after it is grade and the paper appears on the computer screen. The teacher then drags the paper to the appropriate students name and it is automatically stored in a database using drag and drop. The teacher then selects a drop down menu for her particular class selecting who the paper goes to. If a mistake is made, the teacher simplies deletes the paper from the computer, makes the changes on the paper, the reloads it back onto the computer via the digital camera.
The local school system also consults with other school system in-house programmers to get the statistics on how the students are meeting the no child left behind act. The latest module is installed over the internet that helps the teacher better train the students. The combination of hardware and software utilizes a full set of tactile and visual interfaces that better help in the childs learning ablity because not everyone learns in the same manner.
Keep doing teaching the same way you have since the 1800's and you'll begin to realize that everyone that has ever tried to go into education have figured out a way of how they're going to make money off the school system.

| clean energy like yesterday |
| 04.05.05 (7:11 am) [edit] |
I believe that natural energy is the future market. If we speed up the need for the cosumption of natural resources and the effects of not having these natural resouces in the case of a major conflict or a "great" natural disastor, and multiplied by an ever increasing population that grows logarithmically rather than exponentially, I believe pretty firmly natural energy is the market of the future.
By creating this new market and getting the public on board, then a new market of natural energy will be created. Imagine a natural type of propulsion for a type of rocket that lifts off the ground from solar energy and once it hits orbit, it can continue with not just the energy the filters through our atmosphere but the energy that flies through space and while in our solar system, becomes propelled by solar wind.
You can create a system of satelites that orbit miles away from earth, past the Van Allen belt the simply beam energy through repeaters to receiving stattions on earth.
That type of system, rather then calculating the amount of energy that the earth recieve is far better.
And since it is always good to promote future development by recognizing the achievements of those who are pioneering a particular technology, I totally commend Toyota Prius for producing a car that never needs to be plugged in.
