Retards at Google crying. Google can now hire Americans. I’m tired of this tired old excuse that there aren’t enough qualified Americans to work at Google, Microsoft, etc. That’s bullshit. There are enough qualified Americans to work at those companies. Here’s the problem. Those companies just want to pay their employees less and give them less benefits and incentives and such!
I knew so many bright engineers and software programmers that graduated and didn’t want to work for slave wages who were turned down for jobs so they could hire third world slaves. Notice how the media barely talked about the Google/Apple/tech company blacklist to artificially keep wages low in an area with million dollar homes. Before most of the tech companies relocated to Arizona and Texas I knew a guy that had a two hour commute to work so he could make 120K a year because he couldn’t afford to live around Silicon Valley. The top talent deserves top tier pay, and the way the H1B visa program is being used in the US is nothing short of criminal.
there aren’t enough qualified Americans to work at Google, Microsoft, etc willing to work at a bullshit wage they want give. that’s why there was such a big push for “coder education.” the more coders on the planet the lower the wages they have to pay because of competition.
Coders? WTF are coders? Copy/paste monkies?
Anybody got any advice when it comes to family and money? Like I want to help my family out but it seems way too often they are hitting me up for money. I can’t seem to go A month without someone needing something. And they 9/10 times have no intentions of paying it back. I did the math and I have given nearly 2 grand out to folks. That shit is crazy! That could’ve put A dent in some of my debt. Do I just start telling folks no I got my own problems? Or put A cap to how much I’ll give out to family?
You tell them to piss off. As politely as possible.
Its hard and “Blood is thicker then water” yadda yadda. But if your family really cared for you they’d want the best for you and not be a burden.
Other alternative to look it is that they had just as much time as you did or more to get a job and save. Shouldnt be your responsibility to take on their burdens, kinda like I view old people when people feel sorry about some old person working at an entry level job cause of reasons.
Hate to admit, but they fucked up and if they cant deal then they arnt worth the hassle unless your fine with pulling more weight on your end.
Hold onto something of equal value until they repay you as collateral. Tough situation you’re in but cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents can fuck off. Bros, sisters, and parents might get consideration depending if they’ve paid you back.
Don’t know how many of you are nearing retirement age, but…

While the crash is obvious with the warning signs already. Based on how the DOW has been acting I think its hedge fund managers propping it up baiting investors to buy into the high prices while they slowly sell off their shares. I dont think the crash is going to be that rough with Trump in office.
How so?
He’s hit the ground running after he was inaugurated and while I dont think he will audit the Fed. Its more so a move to put pressure on the Fed seeing as they reduced their proposed interest rate increase to a cap of 3%. (IIRC they were think 5-7%.)
Another thing Trump is flirting with the idea of gold/silver backed currency in the case of the American dollar crashing as oil prices drop from OPEC losing credibility. Or even using that as the opportunity to shift the dollar on the sale of oil from Saudis to American produced oil sales.
All in all. If Hillary was elected I would be considering it the case of “end of the world” and even the beginning of a global currency.
But with Trump, I have faith the American economy will survive the storm and come out even stronger then before.
The problem is that no one knows whether the crash will be hyperinflation, or massive deflation, or even “slow” deflation, where we don’t have a big crash all at once, and the market goes down over a period of 5 years or so.
So you have to have some mostly boring mix of cash and precious metals.
Anything still in the stock market has to be something you’re okay with losing.
I’m actually picking up commodities right now since many of the miners are quite cheap.
so…yall still acting scared of the market when all this money is being made?

i entered AMD @ $9.77, its up 15% today…now obviously im going to take most of it off and lock in my gains, but if yall seriously not buying any big dips right now yall are crazy. as long as the SPX continues to hold the 21 EMA on the chart(around 2272 ish), im buying dips all day. if the spx gives me 2 closes below the 21 EMA then im out.
Anyone got any money bet on Marine Le Pen?
She’s a lot scarier than Trump IMO, but her chances keep improving. Her main rival on the “right” is undergoing a huge scandal at the moment.
I put 500 bucks on her when the odds were 5 to 1. The French are being real assholes about the actual odds by not publishing polls so I didn’t feel confident enough to throw big money down. I usually won’t bother gambling on anything less than 2:1 odds. At 5:1 it was at least worth putting some money down in the hope that the French were tired of being terrorized. I still have serious doubts that the French have the balls to save their own culture.
What website? I need to put some $ down…
I use betfair, the European site will let you bet on anything. Elections, coin tosses, it’s pretty hilarious. Right now Le Pen sitting on 3.9 to 1.
The reason I’m posting that link here is because I like 'em. They may end up taking over when YouTube finally shits itself into oblivion. Right now, they don’t have an IPO or stock, but I wanted to get their name out there for my fellow SRKers. If I find out anything else, I’ll share it.

you really think youtube is going anywhere lol?
its like saying facebook is going away. not happening in this lifetime.
Go away? Maybe not.
Of couse, I thought the same thing about AOL and Netscape. There is always someone better waiting around the corner. If you’re lucky, you never run into them. I still think that YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter are all out there fucking up. Right now, they don’t have any credible competition for their audiences. However, Poor ol’ Hillary was the same thing. Nobody could beat her…Until he did. 
Now, will this website take over the top spot from Youtube? who knows? There will always be another,“Next big thing”. The future won’t let us know what that thing is until it is too late. With any luck, we can see it in time to catch the wave and ride it to success. I don’t know if this is that wave, but I’ll keep my eye on it and share what I find.
