A top lawyer for internet retailer Amazon is taking a victory lap for the company’s role in the Ninth Circuit Court’s decision to retain the temporary restraining order halting President Trump’s travel ban.

The Leftist judicial activists actually needed no prodding to rule the way they did. Bezos is trying to bask in reflected glory. It looks like Bezos is just jealous of Trump.
It’s almost a form of bondage. I’ve worked with many H1B visa holders, mostly from India, and they’re here because it’s better than what they can get at home. But not only are they paid less, they usually have no benefits because they are contract employees and, as you say, they are bound to their employer In order to stay.
You get 15% off on your first three orders.

I see you’re taking to heart the communist injunction to accuse others of what you do.
You’re on the wrong side of this issue, and I don’t have any more time or good will to waste on a fool.
Find what you want on Amazon, then order from the other sites listed. I use gift cards for kindle books, as I don’t like to do credit card. When this one runs out no more.
As they get bigger, they will get better.
