  1. It is not as easy for farmers who need a lot of people for short harvest seasons. The worker needs to find an employer that will hire him while not in the country. And then the employer needs to file the paperwork to get the worker into the country. The farmer will need to do this for each one. To qualify for H-2A nonimmigrant classification, the petitioner must: Offer a job that is of a temporary or seasonal nature. Demonstrate that there are not enough U.S. workers who are able, willing, qualified, and available to do the temporary work. Show that employing H-2A workers will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers. Generally, submit a single valid temporary labor certification from the U.S. Department of Labor with the H-2A petition. (A limited exception to this requirement exists in certain “emergent circumstances.” See e.g., 8 CFR 214.2(h)(5)(x) for specific details.)
  2. It is just the state of the US. Excepting "Hand me downs".
  3. Stimulus checks https://www.pandemicoversight.gov/data-interactive-tools/data-stories/update-three-rounds-stimulus-checks-see-how-many-went-out-and
  4. Getting a bit off topic. But most people vote for someone because they feel they will gain something, whether monetary or not. No taxes on overtime or tips I think, could be a form of bribery. Deregulating an industry could be another.
  5. It happens all the time here. But there isn't any guarantee that they will get the vote since the people take the money from each candidate. One candidate last year or so ago was smart, she gave a thousand baht and said if she won, she would give them another.
  6. As early as the 60s, there was a group similar to Scientology that believed that the US, Canada, and Mexico should be one country that could be mostly self-sufficient. They also believed that children would be tested often from an early age, and their schooling would be directed to whether they would be laborers, doctors, or rocket scientists. They also believed that the perfect family unit would be 2 men to each woman, but I can't remember their reasoning on that. So, no, it isn't a new idea.
  7. My first thought was that we don't need people deciding on what others need. But that is the whole point of politics.
  8. First, you rob someone on the street and then give them $5 back so they can catch a bus home.
  9. Some news to go along with that great news. https://nam.org/ev-battery-plants-being-canceled-33746/
  10. I have tried some like those. They do work when they stay on, but rarely last through the night. The ones I bought didn't cost anywhere near that.
  11. I don't think she would likely win the primary.
  12. Been around for a while https://www.ebay.com/b/Inflatable-Doll/177759/bn_7023330289
  13. Attorney General Pam Bondi went overboard as she said Trump has saved 258 million lives, which is equivalent to 75 per cent of the US population.
  14. Not sure if it is a problem now, but a couple of months ago, I couldn't log in after 8 PM EST. When I tried at night here, I had no problem.
  15. Why do we need to film on location when we can build fake or CGI Big Bens and the Eiffel Tower? Paint a lot of white guys yellow, and we are in downtown Tokyo.
  16. Pictures of "Big Brother" and surveillance cameras on every corner.
  17. I have seen where they now only put four implants in each upper and lower, and then make a whole set of teeth that connect to just those four. I don't know if they do anything like that in Thailand. I am the same age as you and don't think I would bother, but it depends on your teeth' bad.
  18. Here near Phimai, you can't give them away, there are so many here at the moment. We have 5 or 6 different kinds growing on our place, and they all taste a bit different. We like the Oakrong (อกร่อง) the best, sweet with a touch of sour.
  19. From the first time I heard it, it has been one of my all-time favorites.
  20. I will also throw in a country/western from around the same time.
  21. I've been getting into old songs I heard while in high school. This one song by a 15 year old girl that she wrote when she was 14. Recorded in an old airplane hanger.
  22. Yes, I have a beard, but then again, I did come from Oregon, where real men worked in the woods or at sea commercial fishing. The ones that shaved sold insurance, or waited tables.
  23. It seems that if ICE knows the tattoos spell out what they say they spell out, they could show tattoos on other known gang members with the same tattoos in the same order. I am not going to hold my breath for that proof.
