When one of your most trusted friends vows to invest $1.7B to lure away H-1B visa holders from you, something is happening to American soft power.
Still, I believe the US will restore its status as a birthplace and magnet for the great talents.

What the hell?? So, for those who can't afford the insane new health care premiums... it's just over?
Average healthcare costs in the US:
Giving birth? $18,000
Cancer treatment? $150,000
One month ICU stay? Between 30k and 150k.
That’s not including copays, deductibles, interest and all the other hoops you have to jump through.
Cost in Canada? $0.
Cost in the UK? $0.
Cost in Australia? $0.

I’m not an engineer, but if we already have unfavourable evidence from experts and those with lived experience doing tunnelling under the 401 that we should probably listen and divert the funds from Ford’s Fantasy Tunnel to other projects.

Canada has lost its measles elimination status after nearly three decades due to its failure to curb a year-long outbreak, the Pan American Health Organization said on Monday, a loss that also results in the Americas region losing the status.

You can’t reboot the planet if you crash it
What Gates is putting forward aren’t legitimate arguments that can be made in good faith. They are shopworn fossil fuel industry talking points.
