@therobstoddard@Txp_RBI_Xctuxl@elonmusk Why would someone use the extremely convoluted H1B system to defraud the US when th y fab just do that on a tourist visa which is a million times easier to get?

The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.
The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.
@raystonian @hello2youz @ChrisFarrelly It makes for a good show on the telly once in a while. That’s it! Almost as if all it does is preserve traditions while having no other effects…
