This has been going on for years and is a big source of income for the Indian human employment companies.

The American workers are weak and disorganized.

Are you now ready to support a non-corporatist for President, DJ? You have a choice of Bernie Sanders, or Bernie Sanders.

Grass roots campaign then. Listen up Americans...don't frequent Disney parks, don't go to Disney movies or buy them on Netflix. Fat chance of that.

How Much Does a Disneyland Vacation Cost?

Quote:
Family of 4 arriving July 2014

Staying for 4 nights at the Disneyland hotel

4 day park hopper passes

Totals $3,218.00 which works out to be an average of $200 per person per night. To book this package, you would need a deposit of $200 per person with final payment due 60 days before you arrive.
That's insane. And Anaheim is a dump. There is an abundance places to visit in CA with unsurpassed natural beauty than pretending Disneyland is real, or stew in their Florida world. Imagine what you can get to see with a $3K+ budget. Boycott Disney Land/World.

And convinced that they are better off not caring..........about the other guy.

Until it happens to them. Then, of course, it's a terrible injustice that they will do nothing about. Probably even go support the same politicians and businessmen that did it to them, thinking those assholes are "job creators".....

That's the state of the American worker today.

From what I know, an H1B worker cannot displace an American worker. So what is going one here could be quite illegal, especially if laid off workers are asked to train their replacements.

But it will work for gun control?

While you're planning the boycott, remember to include the new Star Wars flicks.

We need to seriously tighten up the H-1B regulations.
