Some of my friends are absolutely obsessed with their Facebook pages. One friend in particular seems to have completely regressed back to high school. It's kind of sad to witness. Like you, (I think?) I prefer to keep up with my real friends in the here and now. There is a reason I lost touch with many people from high school, I just don't have anything in common with them anymore. I am still very good friends with some of my high school friends though... in the real world. I actually SEE them on a regular basis. And there is no creepy company keeping track of my interactions with them.
I deleted my Facebook page last week. My dog's is still up though. I often wonder how many of the 900 million profiles on Facebook belong to dogs and cats. Good luck marketing to my dog Facebook!
Remember nearly four years ago when he claimed his administration would be the most open administration in history? Remember when he said he wanted to bring bipartisanship back to DC? I’d lol but it’s not funny.
It doesn't make sense to me either. All along the attorney general has been telling congress that this does not go as far up as the president. A year ago he (AG Holdeer) was telling congress that he had never heard of fast and furious, much less had the president heard of it. Now they are asserting executive privilege? That would imply that the president was involved. It seems to me that this only opens up a larger can of worms and begs many more questions.
Uh huh. Suuuure you do! I was born and raised in Hillsboro. I'd never refer to it that way.
IF you actually do live here, you disrespect the town you live in.
No. People outside of Hillsboro with an agenda call it that.
Yep. Last month (or the month before?) when the Oregon rate of unemployment went down, it triggered a cut-off point for extended benefits. Many people that are still unemployed don't have jobs, but since they are no longer receiving benefits they are not counted in the numbers anymore. So the rate went down, not because of a huge increase in employment, but in-part because of the way people are NOT counted anymore.
A good friend of mine just lost his benefits due to this. He's been looking hard for a job for a long time, now he's frantically looking, still no luck.
You are correct. That's exactly to what I was referring. As far as the H1-B visas... If we had people educated enough to fill these positions they wouldn't have to go looking so far away. I know for a fact that they hire Americans who qualify and pay them quite well. I rent out a condo near the Ronler plant. A new Stanford grad rents it from me. She gets $100,000 a year, plus benefits straight out of school. Not bad.
I'm sure they do segregate their contract workers too. What high-tech company is going to risk their secrets to contract employees that may be gone tomorrow? It's an extremely competitive industry with risks of corporate espionage. I wouldn't let the temps anywhere near my secrets either. It’s not Jim Crow, it’s protective.
Thank Intel. This happened in spite of Kitzhaber.
I agree with many of the comments above. This isn't a case of bullying or extreme bullying. It is a case of multiple crimes perpetrated against this boy. Hopefully appropriate charges will be filed and the perpetrators will learn their lesson in custody.
