Microsoft has been a big booster of the H-1B program to import highly skilled foreigners with Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (“STEM”) degrees, while laying off thousands of American workers.
Could it be that they can get foreign workers cheaper than American employees?

A statement dated from last week and purportedly issued by the Islamic State jihadist group that took over the city and large swathes of Iraq during a sweeping offensive last month warned Mosul’s Christians they should convert, pay a special tax, leave or face death.

“As more and more giant American corporations try to dodge U.S. taxes by moving overseas, Sen. Bernie Sanders on Friday announced legislation to ban those businesses from receiving lucrative U.S. government contracts.”

Since corporations are people, shouldn’t they be taxed like people? And if they move abroad, shouldn’t they pay income taxes just like American expats?
If you are a U.S. citizen or resident alien, the rules for filing income, estate, and gift tax returns and paying estimated tax are generally the same whether you are in the United States or abroad. Your worldwide income is subject to U.S. income tax, regardless of where you reside.

The same tech is already in use in the US, where the Chicago Police Department recently used it to sort through 4.5 million booking photos to help convict an armed robber.
UK police begin trialling the world’s fastest face recognition tech.
Don’t blame Donald Trump for the demise of his Trump Plaza casino in Atlantic City. “I let them use my name, but I got out seven years ago. I have nothing to with it.”
If the casino were making big bucks, Trump would claim all the credit. But when it tanks, it’s someone else’s fault.
Oh, just Bite Me already.
Zeb [spying a card game]: Is this a game of chance?
Cuthbert J. Twillie: Not the way I play it, no.
It’s the same when you play against the house in Atlantic City. In 2012, 14 mini-baccarat players won $1.5 million between them thanks to the Golden Nugget mistakenly using unshuffled decks (oops!). What did the casino do? They sued the players and — hold your breath — they won! Yup, the gamblers have to pay back their winnings.
Right-wing whack-job Karl Rove recently questioned Hillary Clinton’s mental state. But maybe he had a point.
Apparently unaware of how it has backfired on Obama, Hillary is saying that a Democratic President should keep reaching out to the Republicans. I think she’s nuts.
