Do American companies sell only in America? India had a "Be Indian Buy Indian" policy for decades. Look how it turned out.
Just curious, did you have a stable upbringing, two parents and did you and your friends belong to the middle class?
I think her mistake is in attribution. Things are more expensive where people have more income (but that's not bad -it allows for power equilibrium). That's not to say that taxation could have affected this in some way, but there were and are many other things at play not the least the dive into globalization and foreign labor competition in the low skills sector.
Why do you say Vanguard will collapse?
There is a huge pool of international students who join these Universities to take a Masters course, and pay heavy tuition fees. And I have no reason to think they are technically any less than their American counterparts.
it may take time of adjustment, but free minimum wage or something similar to that will come. as there are couple of side effect of automation. one, it will reduce the price, so you can still buy same thing for lower money. second, if people do not have job, they do not have money, they can not afford higher price good, so goods price needs to be reduce. ideally, for any consumption of any kind, economy will balance out eventually. ( i.e. sum of all people consuming all of goods, energy or other resource = all goods, energy other resource produce. ) kind of second law of therm. for economics. so because low wage people spending less money = no point of producing tons of automatically manufactured goods for which nobody going to pay. )
Anyone with hardware concept applied for this batch?
H1B success rate isn't that bad. If you got hired at Facebook or some other big tech company, they would figure something out, even if that meant holding in Vancouver or London to qualify for an easier to get transfer visa.
Yes. And I am looking for an answer that couldn't then be used to argue that it's also ethical to encourage White companies to hire Whites.

And I'm not even asking that you don't "encourage" American companies to hire Americans. I'm simply asking that you don't ban (or make it extremely difficult) American companies who do want to hire non-Americans from doing so.
I agree 100%. The boomers, preceded by the "greatest generation" will likely go down in history as the "greediest generation."
(I'm not arguing for or against, because your question is to explain the logic to you)

I believe the logic comes down to the highest constitution you bind yourself to.

By birth we are bound to our country of birth's constitution and once we become an adult we have the ability to renounce that constitution and apply to be bound by another countries constitution.
? Needing a work visa is fairly universal thing what does it have to do with discrimination? If US citizen wants to work in EU, Canada, India or whatever other country they too need a work visa.

>Sure, you don't need a LI profile to get a dead-end job.

I'm pretty sure the only people who ever say that are people who were raised to hate themselves if they aren't at least in the upper-middle class. There will always be teachers making $50k per year and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. In fact, if you look closely, all across America there are millions of people earning less than $60k per year. Guess what? They're doing just fine. They're content with life. They aren't toxic as*holes who can't live with themselves because they don't make X thousand dollars per year and live in Y school district.

Something that works for me - I avoid distilling. Instead I focus on a killer opening line.

It's really hard to take four, or whatever, paragraphs and reduce that to one sentence. It'll feel lossy every step.

Instead I focus on the first and most powerful sentence. From there I imagine it opening up a dialog where all the possibilities and nuances can flow. But you'd got to start at that sentence.

Now, maybe it'll not be that exactly, but I find that process a lot more fruitful than a distilling one.

How long have you had your current job?

Median tenure is falling I believe.
And employees in their mid-twenties and thirties have way lower tenure than those in their fifties. I think it's about 3 years as opposed to 10 years. Job-hunting is much more prevalent.
I think you are in a bizarre region or do not have friendships with people in the mentioned occupations.

Nursing, plumbing, and electrical work are all stable, rewarding jobs. Nursing has no career? Get real. Nursing has as much career progression potential as a software developer: nurse -> administration/policy/public health; nurse -> manager; nurse -> nurse practitioner; nurse -> anesthetist.

I assumed OP was talking less about Vanguard and more about the breathless tone of the article.
Is there a good reason to blame the generation before rather the corporations, shareholders, and economic paradigms that they had nothing to do with? People just do their jobs and live. The people running the world make the rules. They don't belong to a generation they belong to a ruling class. A ruling class which has obfuscated itself using different rhetorics and the mass media to deliver that rhetoric to protect itself from the blame. But really marketing, psychological manipulation, credit cards, consumer culture. All this stuff raised these people to act the way that they do. They didn't decide to be selfish assholes, it's the culture. They are a product of the system. Their conditioning has been conditioned. The ruling class made the rules, and their corporations used various tactics to raise these people as who they are for their personal benefit. They want consumers that spend so they can capture all that wealth rather than let it sit around and do nothing in the bank accounts of the masses.

I don't give away my right to object when a black army moves into my neighborhood on the pretense of just wanting a better life. And yet I do demand strong evidence that this is a likely scenario before essentially banning black people from my neighborhood.

The correct analogy is not that you're being forced to accept a homeless person into your property. Its that if I want to accept a homeless person into my property, you shouldn't be allowed to prevent me from doing so. Unless you make a convincing case that they're going to invade you. Which I don't think you have.

> Why is it not okay to discriminate on the basis of race or gender but okay to discriminate on the basis of citizenship/country of birth?

Because, a country and it's city, and infrastructure have been built by money spent on by a bunch of people who paid taxes. For a another country, person to come in enjoy the infrastructure, make money and compete with the ones who paid for the infrastructure is unfair by design.

I wouldn't be surprised if most of the money was coming from people's savings books. With zero interest rates, the next best thing to store one's savings is an ETF.

I feel like the increase in stock prices in the recent years is caused by this demand, not by an increase in productivity. The sinking ROI of dividend-driven stocks is an indicator for that.
I'm not blaming any of this on "millennials". I hope that's not how my comment reads.

I agree that some of the blame should be directed towards the prior generation; I was trying to allude to that with my criticism of their parenting technique, which I think is inherently hypocritical, given the advantages they enjoyed that kids today don't have.
This is utterly unacceptable. Time for the electorate to put their foot down and set an example by disbanding the entire force and replace it with a new one.

But guess what the electorate will say? "They only came for the Socialists. I'm not a Socialist". Sad times.
A quick question:last year when caffe2 first came out. You suggested to stick to caffe because caffe2 at that time is not mature. Now that caffe2 is officially release, is there any reason we should still use caffe?
I'll begin with a simple analogy.

Your house is for your family, including children who have never done anything to earn it. Why can't other people come in, eat your food, watch your TV, and sleep in your bed? Why should other people, or other children, not have the same rights to your home as your children do, just because of the circumstances of their birth?

II

So, you can see that "one shouldn't be discriminated against based on one's circumstances at birth" is not actually a universal principle at all. It's a general goal, but must be tempered by other concerns.

In this it's like honesty - as a general goal, we should try to be honest. But being 100% honest every moment would be foolish and harmful. Morality is more complex than applying simplistic rules without exception.

III

People have communities which they care about more than other, more distant communities. Your family, then your neighborhood, your city, your province/state, your country, humanity, all of life. You can mix in your tribe (if you have one), language group, class, race, sports team fans, or whatever else you like in there. The point is that an eternal part of human life, since our earliest beginnings, has been to form concentric in-groups with loyalty and concern falling off as you move away from the self.

Why? Since other people are loyal to you the same way, that creates the possibility of a mutual structure - a tight family with strong loyalty in both directions, then a country of people with good mutual loyalty, then a world of humans who care about each other somewhat. We all benefit from this, and it's also sustainable.

If you want to be suicidally moral, you can start treating every human as well as you treat yourself. In some sense, I'd applaud you. But what you're doing won't last and won't have a long-term impact on humanity. You'll rapidly exhaust yourself as you give away your resources while nobody gives anything to you. In the end, your behavior will be wiped out by unstoppable Darwinian forces.

If you want to be sustainably moral, you need to set up loyalty and care that runs reasonably symmetrically across relations, so it can be maintained that way.

Because morality is not absolutes. It is a negotiation between Darwinian principles and our desire to be more than apes, murdering and raping and pumping out as many kids as we can. You cannot ignore either side of this fundamental tension.
What I think we are starting to see is the beginning of widespread use of computer based discovery through essentially machine learning techniques. I think AI is pretty far off but utilizing all the computing power we have to discover new materials and create useful things isn't very far off. I wonder what will happen if we can eventually tell computers to create us a better laptop, bike, phone, or lamp.
Jeeze, way to compare apples to oranges. Ultimately this is not a debate of discrimination (which you seem to be trying to shoe-horn into the conversation), it's a debate about exploitation. The argument is about the abuse of a well-intentioned program to exploit workers in other nations that are not protected by systems in the US and are thus, cheaper. I would argue that most people consider H1B-abuse and immigration reform distinct, yet related, discussions. It is possible to oppose the H1B program yet support immigration reform.
Five and a half years, actually, and no plans on going anywhere. Working for a small, stable, lifestyle business does have some perks.
It is a dual intent visa - so "immigrant intent" is allowed.

I take it that you haven't hired people into those professions. Plumbers and electricians need certifications and long apprenticeships. Teachers or nurse ... wow. Those are multi-year degrees plus professional training. Anyone with an imperfect background will have a seriously difficult time entering these professions.

Note that none of the jobs you list would ever allow someone with a criminal record. A minor felony conviction (drunk driving, drug possession etc) closes all of those doors.

> More women in the workforce means more workers, more money in the economy, more viability for families, more progress, more development, more real demand for goods and services etc.

You aren't really making an effort to demonstrate this, or your earlier point that the "biggest issue" is making it "easier for women to work and succeed".

In Japan right now, it's not just that women are underemployed -- men are underemployed, as well. "Death by overwork" affects women as well as men. This would seem to speak to an overwhelming level of power on the part of employers, not a need for more workers.

I am really puzzled by the idea that the core problem in Japan has anything to do with the relative involvement of women in the work force.
Other people you live with don't want to accept a homeless person into the home.

And, you are part of a social contract between these other people you live with (e.g. your countrymen) where you can't just override them.

If you had your own country where nobody else lived, where you had no social contract with anyone, it would be fine for you to let anyone in (of course, you wouldn't have a country for long).

Whites expect other whites to protect them from people of other colors in matters of physical and economic security. H-1Black workers drive down white wages.

Here's a question for someone more savvy than me. What happens if the vast majority of stock investments end up in vanguard funds?

In an economic crises, will everyone try to sell the same set of funds and will crash the funds themselves?
I am always confused by all the it hurts job market for local candidates thing as it relates to tech jobs. There is huge amount of unfilled positions. The company I am at has many hundreds of open positions that they can not fill with qualified people regardless of their visa/citizenship and I am pretty sure this is not a unique situation. The pay rate is also same regardless of visa status to the best of my knowledge.
Post hoc ergo propter hoc. Articles like this showed up for Enron and MCI/WorldCom and all the others, extolling one virtue or another and showcasing their success. Now we have one for Vanguard, ergo it will fail.

I'm not serious, of course. But pride does seem to come before the fall, and just out of an excess of caution I might move some money out of my vanguard funds next week.
Actually the proper way to refer to people in GB is "subjects". Not Citizens, not "the electorate," rather "Her Majesty's Subjects".

Edit- Superficially wrong about this (the requirement for this nomenclature changed, but it's still acceptable usage). However, I think I'm right in the effect, as:

>The concept of a subject remains in the law, and the terms the Queen's subjects, Her Majesty's subjects, etc., remain in use in British legal discourse.
Plumbers and electricians are still locked into the vestiges of the medieval guild system. You start as an apprentice, after some years and qualifications progress to journeyman, and then after much experience and credentialing rate as a master.
The only thing not exciting about watching unfold the AI renaissance than may eventually break the turing barrier, is that the research demos are shit for quality.

I admit it's exciting to zoom in on that little zebra video, but the RealVideo sizing makes it hard to characterize artifacts.

A small price to pay I guess. Most first worldish problem ever?
It may be true that, with more effort, a specific unemployed and unmatched person could beat the other candidates for a good job, or the other suitors for a romantic partner.

But that doesn't mean that the population of unemployed and unmatched people can shrink. Only that it can churn.
I find very little to disagree with in what you say. All I ask for is a presumption in favor of allowing a willing foreigner to work for a willing employer. And I think that small harms like reduction in wages from say 100k/year to 60k/year is not sufficient to override that presumption especially since for the foreigner, the opportunity to work in the US often translates to a 5-fold increase in their income.

It's also possible that Vanguard just delivers the same products as their competitors, just at a significantly lower price (management cost).

Keep in mind also that "growing" in this context doesn't refer to huge profits (as far as I know). As far as I can see, as a non-expert, Vanguard just offers the same products as everyone else, except at half the yearly management cost. I mean, when you're looking for some index fund, and Vanguard is one third the cost, is it any surprise they're taking away customers from the incumbents?

> It does allow more immigrants to displace American workers or workers looking for work or depress American wages.

It does not grant any benefits to anyone not already in the system and on the path to immigration, so no, it does not "allow more immigrants to <whatever>".

Interesting that she wrote a book and then ignored her findings when planning her own life.
I disagree with this post. I am originally from India and used to be on H1. I have worked at companies like LinkedIn and Dropbox - so also know this from the point of view of supposedly highly qualified H1 candidates. I also was in leadership role at a Fortune 15 where we had a big team of low quality contractor on H1 and L1. So kind of have an experience on both the extremes.

The consulting company used to send really low quality candidate. The kind who might not clear high school maths and have some worthless degree from a remote college in India. Then I asked them to get their best people. Their best people were pretty bad. I mean the kind who would get rejected on telephonic screen within 10 minutes. Eventually the model that worked is that I would find great candidates and then this company would bring them on contract (some people prefer working on contract vs full time).

The amount of money waste on such consultancy projects was unbelievable. Companies prefer this because of some tax savings of CapEx vs OpEx. There would be a huge team of people doing near clerical work. I am confident that there are other citizens available who can do that job, at probably an higher cost.
Right/left Democrat/Republican is also a bit different at the local level around those states. There's the moderate conservatives, AKA Democrats, and the hardline conservatives, Republicans.

If everyone sells then the market will go down as it does now. It doesn't make much difference if that happens via a fund holding or not.
They're not really stuck by Visa rules though, once they have an H1 they can transfer it without worrying about the cap any time they like to any company in a position to sponsor an H1B. It's definitely not ideal. If there are terms binding them to their employers that should really be addressed. What sucks is they can't go off and found on their own.

I believe his implication was that the F-1 should allow for a post-study work-residence period without the individual having to acquire an H1B or other residency visa. This would constitute an overall relaxation of immigration restrictions, particularly in your case.
Of course it's a valid framework. But the cool kids have all moved onto Angular2, or React, or some other thing I'm too stuck in the mud to even know about.
