disagree with one statement

One way to encourage that is to require all government contracts to be filled by Union shops only

davis bacon act allows union shops to bid at a comparable cost as non union, because the pay rate matches the union rate. Now I would like davis bacon be applied to IT work as well. That way you dont have multinationals paying $6 an hour to Ukrainian programmers to build the Obama Care website (cough)and pocketing a ton. Good american programmers need the work.

always look out for number one and don't step in number two

"Good american programmers need the work"

I seem to recall from way back when I first began hanging out in these precincts thirteen years ago some discussions about how machinists, assembly line personnel, millworkers et cetera should have seen the inevitability of their jobs going overseas, and ought to have had the good sense to learn code like the smart guys at IWT. When the boys from Bangalore started making off with those gigs, I noticed that the tune shifted to a different key.

cordially,

Who can countermand a Kill Order issued by the President? -NT - (mmoffitt) - (3) - May 24, 2016, 01:31:10 PM EDT

Someone has to decide those things. The President decides with the input of others. - (Another Scott) - (2) - May 24, 2016, 05:54:45 PM EDT

Good Grief. You support that decision, too? Wow. -NT - (mmoffitt) - (1) - May 24, 2016, 08:27:32 PM EDT

Re: Her position is, more or less, status quo. - (Another Scott) - (26) - May 25, 2016, 11:17:24 AM EDT

I can't agree. - (mmoffitt) - (25) - May 25, 2016, 11:55:44 AM EDT

It's not the major that's most important, its that they learn how to learn. - (Another Scott) - May 25, 2016, 01:52:06 PM EDT

So it's not a bug, It's a feature - (drook) - (21) - May 26, 2016, 07:25:26 AM EDT

When did I ever say, "Everyone should go to college?" - (mmoffitt) - (20) - May 26, 2016, 09:36:41 AM EDT

Yup. But wages being stagnant is a choice. - (Another Scott) - (13) - May 27, 2016, 08:51:35 AM EDT

Hold on to your hat. - (mmoffitt) - (11) - May 27, 2016, 10:12:32 AM EDT
