I grew up in Snoqualmie. Redmond used to be a great place to go back in the 70’s/80’s. Now it’s the land of plastic buildings aka “apartments”. It’s super crowded and UGLY.

No that isn’t the case at all.

Thanks for providink me a platform to promote the Freep-A-Thons and shame freeploading deadbeats like yourself.

Maybe we’ll get ‘er done quicker this way, and take some stress off Jim Robinson and the rest of the Robinsons.

Wrong. Americans don’t directly benefit from using indentured labor. Most people pole don’t hire software developers. No, all this does is make tech bros into billionaires and cheat Americans from enjoying prosperity. But you knew that.

PS: f off

We lived in Bellevue, WA (adjacent to Redmond) for two years a decade ago. It was that way ten years ago - I can’t imagine what it’s like now!

I’m not donating. Where’s that money going? It’s not going into the site.

Deloitte received approval to hire 2,353 foreign H-1B employees. ...Deloitte pays H1-B visa holders 10 percent less than American citizens. 25 states have awarded Deloitte IES contracts worth $5 billion for 53 million Medicaid enrollees.

One reason Medicaid is so big in the budget is because Deloitte workers understand neither US laws/customs, nor English, nor IT. Deloitte is synonomous with Waste, Fraud, Abuse ... and incompetence.

H1bs are a net drag on the country and Americans in general. We did just fine for most of America’s existence without them.

Americans lose simply by allowing any Indian to live here

Why? You haven't refuted my reason why H-1B Visa Holders are beneficial.

If you're going to challenge me, refute my rationale and come up with your supportable alternatives to defeating the unconstitutional and economy-busting minimum wage and forced unions.

I never said anything about unions or the minimum wage.

That's right. Those are part of my rationale which you haven't addressed. If you going to challenge me, address the reasons for my argument.

I’m almost to Duvall...it’s nice here but yes....too many ugly apartment buildings in Redmond and they’re in the process of absolutely destroying Woodinville. :-(

I think Gates has something to do with this. Molbecks is gone.
