Brown's Redevelopment Proposal, If Passed, Could Whack Corporate Welfare
It is the taking the money from the citizens to give it to the well connected. In the case of welfare for the poor, they are just the props for the bureaucracy that takes about 70% of the funds. ================== Actually in the case of the EDD (state unemployment agency) the amount is $4 of admin costs for every $1 of benefit-80% of the funds to administer the program. That is outrageous. If it were a private charity EDD would be sued civilly and possibly charged criminally.— January 12, 2011 8:23 a.m.

Comparatively, Tech Workers Haul in Bucks in San Diego
Well, we certainly have had a look at the tech outsourcing from both sides. Paul laid out his view-and while I don't agree with it he certainly made some good points. And I am grateful we had 3 people here post their own first hand experiences.— January 11, 2011 8:19 p.m.

The fact you point to Microsoft WinXP is interesting. Microsoft is legendary for hiring bright young engineers with similar backgrounds that closely fit their culture profile. ================ Sorry Paul, this is just not true. MS is not "legendary" in their hiring, "notorious" for outsourcing jobs is much more accurate.— January 11, 2011 7:08 p.m.
Pedaling Diego: San Diego's Growing Bicycle Mania
I find that the majority of cyclists ignore the rules of the road to the point of being hazardous. It is my observation that it is rare to see a bicycle operated in a lawful manner. ==================== Most serious cyclists follow the rules of the road. And if they don't it is usually in the interest of safety. As one who has cycled a lot in my life it was always the motor vehicle driver that was the danger. I was T-Boned by an unattentive driver and could have been killed by that crash-so if cyclists ignore the rules of road there is a good reason for it most of the time.— January 11, 2011 7:06 p.m.

when hate speak is spooned into the mixture of common sense understanding i agree with Don...the dish become unfit for human consumption tho nearly everything MassExodus said otherwise is right on target =============== I agree 100%. I was hoping ME was trying to convey a point and did it in the wrong way. But the "white" comment was out of line.— January 11, 2011 2:51 p.m.
ALL CITY BUSES IN AMERICA ARE EVIL
So Cal is far too spread out for effective mass transit. This is not Manhatten.— January 11, 2011 2:49 p.m.

MassExodus made a very good comment. I think the "whites" cooment (I hope anyway) was meant to convey that there is no common bond with H-1B foriegners and "Americans". I wish he would have said "Americans" in place of "whites".— January 11, 2011 12:42 p.m.

MesaRunner-confirms pretty much everything I said about the reasons these big mammoth tech compnaies want H-1B visas issued by the millions-to get around paying market wages. And MesaRunner pretty much confirms and proves up Ponzi's comments too. TY for our insight MR. People like you and Ponzi are what we need in this debate, you two can provide first hand accounts of this, where the rubber meets the road in this debate. You saw it, you experienced it, you know it from first hand experience.— January 11, 2011 12:28 p.m.

Bernanke's forecasts have been very poor. ================== Very poor is too kind. Down right lies and fabrications is more in line with his comments IMO.— January 11, 2011 12:20 p.m.
