Trump is a disaster!
- what did they file - a lawsuit? article wasn't clearGnash
- https://www.document…R_Kercz
- cheers, RGnash
- I wonder if he realises how bad it's going for him.fadein11
- All of those companies are nothing more than paid protestors and professional anarchists. The pathetic, loser liberal elites who have ruined this country.monospaced
- I wonder how many employees, and what types of positions these companies are planning on hiring in Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen.********
- ^ i think it's more that these companies need to signal to consumers that they reflect their users values.Gnash
- or else they'll start boycotting like some uber users did. These companies are being pragmaticGnash
- But at the same time, they're disregarding the safety of American citizens during war time in the Middle East.********
- Even though the Iraq War is over, those guys still look pretty pissed. Meanwhile citizens here are salvaging the love for their Muslim heritage.********
- oh, so Trump only committed to 90 days of safety of American citizens during war time? You're SO full of SHIT omg it's not even funny. Fuck off troll.monospaced
- I think, disregarding safety, is a bit hyperbolic. It's stirring up fear where there really shouldn't be any. USA will be no safer with or without the 'ban'Gnash
- stop acting like a TEMPORARY ban on muslims was for safety and as if these companies are somehow compromising it... you sound like a stupid assholemonospaced
- trumpy is just signalling his agenda as well. it's not going to fix anything. more likely to make things worseGnash
- these companies are watching out for their bottom line, omg. It's their obligation to shareholders.Gnash
- I totally understand the tech industry's need for overseas workers. Either to lower wage expectations, or get more intelligent help unavailable in house.********
- But to ignore the idea that there are three wars simultaneously going on, and thinking that ISIS or ISIL is not a problem for the US.********
- Is not the best strategy for keeping safe. 90 days may be enough for gathering intelligence.********
- If everything is as happy and dreamy over there as mono imagines, then we can let in all his unicorns and pink ponies through the gate.********
- you have more chance on choking and dying on your lunch then having ISIS chop off your head.inteliboy
- fear has been a political tactic since the dawn of politics.inteliboy
- companies aren't ignoring the war and they're also not hiring illegals. This isn't about protecting their employee pool. it's about appeasing usersGnash
- also, statistically, the modern world as a whole is in a "peace time".inteliboy
- ^ That true, intel, the world is safer now that at any point in historyGnash
- once again, omg, what the hell is a TEMPORARY 90-day ban on MUSLIMs going to do to stop ISIS? you're such a trolling moronmonospaced
- no wonder these companies need to hire foreigners, because people like you are simply not mentally equipped to take a tech jobmonospaced
- The War in Afghanistan has been ongoing for the past 16 years. ISIL is blazing for the past 4 years, and another war in Pakistan is far from peacetime********
- seasoned off shore employees should be easier to vet compared to a new face in the crowd. Bringing educated folks is a good for many additional reasons.********
- I have no idea what Trump can do in 90 days. As a new president, it was really responsible for him to consider such a notion rather than doing nothing.********
- And still, the idea that banning people for only 90s would somehow be a solution is so beyond stupid, it hurts. All of these companies know this.monospaced
- And to even imply that hiring foreign talent somehow compromises homeland security is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard, even from the right.monospaced
- the ban could be extended. no one knows what is going to happen within those 90 days. It's not like the internet prevents tech workers from connecting.********
- 90 days could be enough to verify and open the doors for the tech industry to vet new employees.********
- These countries have unstable governments along with active ISIS and Al Qaida cells. You don't have to go much further than Europe to see the problems.IRNlun6
- Syria is in chaos. ISIS is loosing, and regional governments are worried about a starburst effect of islamists spreading throughout the region.IRNlun6
- Just a few years ago many in Europe where marching to welcome migrants in mass. Not as much now with populist, anti-mass immigration parties gaining popularity.IRNlun6
- I agree that these companies are just pandering to their audience, but they're encouraging this denial of the risks from these countries.IRNlun6
- ^No. they're discouraging the legislation of racism. It's not more complicated than that.CyBrainX
- It has nothing to do with racism. The ethnicity is diverse. Arabs, Kurds, Armenians, Persian, Azerbaijani, Greeks, Blacks, Somali, Bantu, s. Asian, European********
- The religious makeup is almost half-n-half of Christians and Muslims********
- once again, since when is a 90 day ban a solution to a problem that isn't even real? you guys are so brainwashed it isn't even funnymonospaced
- the fact is, federal judges, most of the population and now even entire nations outside the US are condemning it, including the UK ... it's definitely bigotedmonospaced
- Fact is Syria is a human slaughterhouse with 13,000 confirmed kills. The next beheadings are on the faces of these tech companies.********
- Too bad you can't see past a Bible to save people, even though they are Christians.********
- The beheadings will never be on the faces of tech companies. You are an insufferable troll, and must be reminded that your views are both wrong and moronic.monospaced
- you trolling your own ignorance isn't going to change reality. history will show the disaster that occurs and point to the folks to prevented a travel ban.********
