"It would be highly useful to gov'tal espionage to have like reports from all our book stores, all our hardware & retail stores, all our drug stores. These records too might be 'useful' in criminal investigations... A mandatory recording of all telephone conversations would be better than the recording of checks under the Bank Secrecy Act, if Big Brother is to have his way." --- William O. Douglas 416 US 21, 845 (1974) (quoted in Charles Adams 1993 _For Good & Evil_) |

Dan Cadman _Center for Immigration Studies_
Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) takes a small step in the correct direction to cut back-log
"In blog postings in the last few months, I've suggested that the [Obummer regime] will do its level best in its waning days in office to issue as many policy directives and rule changes as possible. I've noted a couple of these last-ditch efforts in the immigration arena, including one that waters down what constitutes 'extreme hardship' to the level of farce. I'm sure there are many motivations for these multiple final manipulations of the regulatory and policy guidance mechanisms: To try to embed as far as possible into the bowels of government those 'transformational' processes that will be difficult to undo; to wreak mischief and make the incoming administration's job of undoing all the regulations that much more difficult; perhaps even, knowing that much will be undone, to lay out the bases for future litigation by aliens whose 'rights' to stay or to avoid removal are damaged, abridged, or circumscribed by the rescission of this White House's regulatory 'interpretations' of statute. So when I discovered that the Executive Office for Immigration Review had issued a regulatory change in the Federal Register relating to its handling of suspension of deportation / cancellation of removal cases, I suspected the worst. I'm happy to say I was wrong...."

Virginia Postrel _Jewish World Review_
ask workers; it is not merely about the pay-check
"...Regardless of the eventual outcome, the mandate illustrates an all-too-common blindness to the diversity and nuances of employment arrangements. Not every work-place is, or aspires to be, the civil service. Not every worker longs to be on an assembly line. And not everybody is working entirely for money. One size does not fit all. Just as Trump imagines he can give industrial workers job security by canceling trade agreements, the [Obummer regime] thought it could give managers more money or shorter hours by decree. The overtime rule assumes that employers have a big pot of money somewhere that they're keeping for themselves instead of paying their hard-working staffs. It also assumes that rigid time-keeping that forces people to work 9 to 5 is a good thing... clocking hours just means more paper-work... the rigid structure simply doesn't match the nature of her job: In [most jobs], things come up and are last-minute and time-consuming... If she has to stay late and that time isn't approved, who takes that hit... She'd rather simply have a higher salary, even if it isn't all the way up to the Labor Department's magic number... people who are willing to take smaller salaries because they believe in the cause and draw personal satisfaction from the work. Enthusiastic young graduates put in 12-hour days visiting high schools and reading applications for their colleges' admissions offices. Museum development assistants schmooze donors at opening night receptions. Biology [under-grads and] post-docs monitor experiments at all hours. [Software and hardware wizards work through day and night.]... For professionals who'd never before punched a clock, 'it was upsetting'..."

Tara Bahrampour _Jewish World Review_
in a third of the USA, more white people are now dying than being born, and most of the shift is in over-crowded, over-populated, over-taxed, over-regulated h377-holes; if not for vastly excessive legal and illegal immigration, relief from over-population and over-crowding would soon be at hand

"More money for more science is the commanding passion of the politics of science. More is deemed better, including the production of more scientists from a university system that is well supported by, but ingeniously decoupled from, the general economy. Even in these prosperous times, young PhD gaduates, once hopeful but now often embittered, stack up in low-wage post-doctoral holding patterns." --- Daniel S. Greenberg 2001 _Science, Money, and Politics: Political Triumph and Ethical Erosion_ pg3 |

"As soon as A observes something which seems to him to be wrong, from which X is suffering, A talks it over with B, and A and B then propose to get a law passed to remedy the evil and help X. Their law always proposes to determine what C shall do for X, or in the better case, what A, B, and C shall do for X... What I want to do is to look up C. I want to show you what manner of man he is. I call him the Forgotten Man. Perhaps the appellation is not strictly corret. He is the man who never is thought of... He works, he votes, generally he prays -- but he always pays." --- William Graham Sumner 1883 at Yale (quote in Amity Shlaes 2007 _The Forgotten Man_) |

the left's long march has been enabled by many USA corporate executives: 10 things to know about Kellogg's war against Breitbart
"...Now today, after the Democrats have lost the White House as well as the congress, the USA left finds itself out of power in Washington, DC. And yet this new crop of exiled leftists won't have to march very far to find safe harbor; basically, they will just have to walk across the street. That is, they can find shelter in familiar sanctuaries: the media, the academy, the think-tanks, [government 'civil service'].... It's from these friendly sanctuaries, as Politico has lovingly detailed, that the Dems/Leftists/Reds are already plotting their come-back... increasingly, the left is finding a happy home in [executive suites and board-rooms]... Indeed, he or she is likely always willing to write a big check to politically correct activist groups (using [share-owner] money, of course)... The Wall Street Journal surveyed the CEOs of the 100 biggest American companies, finding that while HitleryRottenClinton had plenty of support, none of them—zero—backed Donald Trump. Meanwhile, at a notch below the CEO level, the revolving door between the Democratic Party and corporate America is spinning rapidly. Former White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, for example, is now an executive vice president at McDonald's. And Gibbs' successor at the press-room podium, Jay Carney, is a senior-vice-president at Amazon. And former [Obummer] campaign manager David Plouffe now has a big gig with Uber... Hilton Hotels announced the hiring of another high-profile member of the [Obummer] White House, Katie Beirne Fallon, as its new 'senior-vice-president and global head of corporate affairs'..."
