@chris Carney can read between the lines, that's all I'm going to say. I don't like the situation but it is what it is, really dumb but unavoidable unless we want much larger short term problems in other domains.

@chris Terrible company to be an employee of, terrible company to be a shareholder of, terrible company to be a customer of. Guess that makes it a terrible company.

Emailed their support, they'll get back to me.. in 24 "business" hours (eg. 3 working days). Stellar "fan" support. #openbsd should consider a different T-shirt fundraiser partner, maybe.

Doh. Shoulda got an X1 instead of a T14, looks like internal microphone doesn't work on #openbsd azalia. Not really a show stopper, though.

@annecavicchi I'm a big fan of pre-clearance, especially in times like these. That's US officers operating on Canadian soil, and I think in that case, especially for Canadians, it's a Good Thing (tm)

@Free_Press H1B is abusive to American tech workers seeing spiking unemployment. That's one thing I can agree on with Trump. H1B is a wage suppression tool, if it's truly about skill at any cost then the 100k fee is peanuts.

@chad I mean.... he's allowing them to attempt to regain solvency. Or do we want $5 stamps? Why should some get home delivery and drive up costs for others? (They are still required to do home delivery for those with mobility issues) Canada Post is less relevant today than it was 30 years ago […]

@chris https://ca.news.yahoo.com/fox-news-host-brian-kilmeade-162819841.html this clearly passes the smell test for the FCC though
FOX News host Brian Kilmeade apologizes for saying homeless people should be killed

@chris Bought her book Plutocrats years ago when I didn't even know who she was at a book sale in ... maybe Elora, Ont. anyway, she's got a good head on her shoulders, great performance as trade negotiator, not so great as finance minister. I wish her the best!!

@Free_Press I don't think they had green cards, I think they had B-1 visas, might want to re check your facts/sources
