Claiming a shortage of workers for the hospitality industry, Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago club has requested and obtained permission to hire 70 foreign workers. The claim of a shortage of available workers is disputed:
'"We currently have 5,136 qualified candidates in Palm Beach County for various hospitality positions listed in the Employ Florida state jobs database," CareerSource spokesman Tom Veenstra said Friday.'
70 is a slight increase over last year, when 64 foreign workers were hired.
"Making America Great Again" by hiring foreigners? Perhaps what is required is higher pay, not foreigners.

You really do need to take a step back and listen to Runaway: BOTH candidates you had were shite. Trump is an ass, but Hillary corrupted her party from the inside SOLELY for the purpose of winning. Both candidates are losers, and America lost no matter who won.
You DO need to start supporting a 3+ party system, or you WILL be stuck with corrupt leaders.
Picking Trump or Hillary is like picking shit or poo.
You NEED better choices.

I know, right!?! :)
But in THIS case, he IS right.
The REAL choice, Bernie, was corruptly stolen away and Americans were left with shoe-shit for both the Left AND the Right.

Bernie chose to align himself with the democrats rather than remaining on the Independent ticket and catapulting a third party into the election discussions.
If either the Green or Libertarian parties had gotten the 5+ percent this election we could start having a real discussion about change in America, since they would have qualified for the federal advertising funds next election. That would have had more of an effect in 4 years than either Clinton or Trump getting elected this time around. But Americans have proven themselves the stupid, jingoistic idiots that foreigners love to insult us as, by voting for Trump and Clinton to a reasonably narrow margin, neither of which won over 50 percent of the popular vote. When a president isn't even starting with a 50-51 percent approval rating, you already know something is wrong with the system. In America's case the real question is: What isn't wrong with the system?
It is time to have a serious, calm, and rational discussion on this, between the two stupid masses of sheeple, as well as the kooks and rationals of that remaining ~4 percent.

It was rigged and #CrazyBernie [twitter.com] got schlonged. Donna Brazile said so in her book Hacked. But now she says it wasn't rigged. She told the #FakeNews [twitter.com] ABC and CBS it wasn't rigged. Because that's what they want to hear. That's the only way they'll cover her, is if she says it wasn't rigged. And she needs to get out the word about her book, needs to sell her book, so she says it wasn't. Folks, it was rigged. You pick up her book, she says it very clearly in there. But the #MSM [twitter.com] don't want to report that. They will never, ever report that. Because they're in the pocket of the #CrookedClintons [twitter.com]. Who have left a long, long trail of corpses behind them. From #VinceFoster [twitter.com] to #SethRich [twitter.com] and beyond. 🇺🇸

Yes, really. I probably give him more of the internet equivalent of catapult-launched sacks of flaming shit than anyone else on this site and I still mod him up when he says something insightful or informative. A true thing is true no matter who says it. He's not intellectually disabled; he's evil. There is a difference.

I don't think there is a hope in hell of the US ever getting new parties elected, as the Democrats and Republicans have gerrymandered the entire system from top to bottom.
When I point out to Americans that the UK, a nation of 64 million (or so) has 8 parties in their parliament, even with the awful first-past-the-post system in place, they point to the fact that the US parties are "big tent" parties, as if that is a good thing.
What it tells me is that the US is not really a democracy, and these guys agree with me, [cnbc.com] although I'm not sure I entirely agree with their methodology.
Princeton's study is probably better [cambridge.org] and comes to similar conclusions.
Of course the US has the best propaganda in the world, so the average American thinks their system of government is great, the best.

There's a book called "Human Universals". It's a serious anthropological study of every human culture possible, searching for the root common qualities they all share with each other.
One of these common qualities is the de-facto system of government. Behind the facade all governments are the same, from primitive tribes to super powers. It's called Oligarchy.
The part you're able to see is just the popularity show. Guns, Gay Marriage, Abortion, Immigration... Rich and powerful people don't care about any of those things. It's a distraction to keep us busy, like a magicians misdirection. The real decisions about things that really matter (the wealth and power of a country) happen behind closed doors. They always have. Today is no different.
