Glad to see someone being honest here.


> Instead of threatening to derail the EV transition, lack of resale value might be evidence of the EV transition

People buying new EVs might be bad for environment though.


It's not like those used EVs are getting thrown away—they're just going further down-market than they otherwise would.


yup. and there are a lot more people in America who can buy a 2-3-year-old $20,000 EV than the insane prices those cars were fetching when new!


Hopefully EVs are being purchased to replace existing ICE cars, in which case the falling price is a good thing since it makes them more available at lower price points. Replacing a car with one that is cheaper to run and produces less emissions is usually a good thing.

If people are buying (and storing, and fueling) EVs in addition to their collection of ICE cars, that's probably a separate issue about overconsumption.


A significant fraction of consumers are going to purchase ICE cars (including hybrids) to replace EVs.

It is not crawling but indexing is the problem. Google has over years learned the patterns and authority of different articles. It will be hard for others to replicate but not impossible.

What Google should do is offer API based access to these providers but a lot of these providers might no adhere by contracts. So there is that.


Indexing is a fairly well understood technology.

You could hire one or experts for this to be doable with a pretty good amount of scalability.


Clickbait article.


Sad day. Some of these folks dedicate their lives to otherwise thankless job/work with such dedication has always made me feel so positive about humanity in general I do understand when religious people do it but Goodall like people are modern day sages.


Not sure “thankless” really applies here. She enjoyed a sort of celebrity status for the past 40-50 years and was universally loved.


The people who are lighting up the country actually enjoy and fire and smoke and they don't own (or they think they don't) anything that is worth protecting.


There are multiple excellent policy choices.

1. Claim it is Biden's economy and his job numbers. 2. Claim the lost jobs are actually indian immigrants going back. 3. Your point about ADP. 4. Threaten any media that reports these numbers.


Well, the Israeli child abusing officer has left the country.


I'm sure there's more. The type of people who clamor for power often do so for the ability to do amoral things.

It's unsuprising theres a mix of nazis and israelis at the helm of America's "self interest" and there's criminals, child molestors, rapists constantly being squeezed out.


This is not normal course of business at all. This is probably a wave of capricious decision making to "meet quota" because they are not able to find and catch illegal immigrants to make news.


The law itself is pretty idiotic. Why would an employer give up a well accustomed well proven candidate for the sake of some random guy, waste money to recruitment and cross fingers that the employee would actually join and perform ?

It is like giving up a lottery ticket you have won for another lottery ticket.

Also, the law mandates certain compliance steps which the employers do. There is no expectation that they should actually hire someone else unless the compliance steps are violated. So everything is working exactly as intended.

This PERM process and law has harmed countless american citizens and employers both. Citizens end up applying for jobs they are not going to get and HR wastes time on resources over candidates they are not going to hire.

A better solution would be to hand a greencard to any immigrant who has worked for 5 years and has earned a certain high salary as proven by the W2.

This whole circus can be gotten rid off if you ask me.


>A better solution would be to hand a greencard to any immigrant who has worked for 5 years and has earned a certain high salary as proven by the W2.

Huge non-sequitur. Why is this better? Better for whom?


Better for everyone because the talented H1B employee is no longer shackled to their employer and can leave demanding a higher wage and raising wages for everyone.


Well you just answered why they don't/won't do this.

The H1B employees being shackled and thus having little to no leverage to demand higher compensation or better working conditions is (from the point of view of the companies abusing the system) a feature of the system, not a bug.


Well, which is exactly why we should do this


> can leave demanding a higher wage and raising wages for everyone.

This is simply not believable. More competition for a limited resource (jobs) means lower wages, not higher wages.


I guess you’re proposing eliminating the h1b program to raise wages. That would maybe work but our companies would theoretically be less competitive globally. If we’re going to allow immigration based on professional skills then these people should be fast tracked to having the same employment rights as natives otherwise it creates a subclass of workers that depress wages because those that belong to that group will be too risk adverse to ask for more money knowing that they’ll likely have to leave the country if they get let go.


Yes, eliminate H1B.

>otherwise it creates a subclass of workers that depress wages

Again, we can just skip the middle-man here and fix wages by ending H1B.
