  • Certain employer-sponsored visas have requirements that the job be posted for a period of time to see if any US applicants apply. This is supposed to make sure the foreign worker isn’t “taking a job away” from a similarly qualified American.

    Companies do prefer to hire foreign nationals for these jobs, though, because they typically take less pay, and their US work authorization is tied to their employment, so that makes it much harder for them to change jobs in the US without leaving the country first. So while they are supposed to “post the job” for Americans to apply, they will do the bare minimum to post it, and make sure the requirements are written so that no one other than a foreign worker would bother applying.











  • That “BY-S812-004” is interesting. I googled that and got similar hits for “S812” boards used as emulators of Japanese arcade games. I see lots of references to “Pandora’s Box” and “JAMMA”, whatever they are

    My educated opinion (after 2 minutes of Doing My Own Research) is you may have a Chinese knockoff of a Japanese knockoff of an arcade system. Reading up on the S812 arcade boards might yield some more information… Or might be a dead end!

    Good luck!


  • The disputed “What Happened” chapter addressed several politically delicate subjects that were not included in the draft the party published in May:

    It questioned Mr. Biden’s decision to seek re-election in the first place: “Is there a single point of failure for 2024? Perhaps it is a decision of the President to seek re-election instead of passing the torch.”

    It analyzed the party’s loss of support among Hispanic, Black, Asian American and Native American voters, which had been mostly missing from the public draft.

    And it pointedly raised the concern that most senior Democratic strategists in 2024 were “financially secure” and thus removed from the challenges facing many Americans. “It is therefore possible the people ‘in the room’ at the highest levels of 2024 decision making misunderstood the mood and practicalities facing everyday America,” the report read.

    Interesting that the DNC claims to have never received that chapter. Also interesting that all emails there are deleted after 30 days. The author claims to have delivered a paper copy of his report, which surprised me until I realized it was the only way he could guarantee it would not get deleted.
