Chaos and confusion is bad for business. Whatever you think of Trump's proclamation, you must admit that putting it out at the beginning of a weekend with few details and no advanced planning showed very poor judgement.

Why Google Quit China

Google left China, the censorship was too much for it to handle. But, I wish them luck abroad, and if they feel the need to abuse programs in the U.S. then they should find a new home.

You are aware he's the POTUS?

His name will be in the daily news for the next eight years, if you like what he does or not.

Bannon needs to please Trump, as Trump is his boss. Putin is not relevant to any discussion at all.

Glad I could clear that up for you.

IOW, what was the point of your post?

Sometimes American IT workers are laid off after spending their final days training their foreign-born replacements.

"They are bringing in people with a couple of years' experience to replace us and then we have to train them," said one longtime IT worker. "It's demoralizing and in a way I kind of felt betrayed by the company."http://www.computerworld.com/article/2879083/it-outsourcing/southern-california-edison-it-workers-beyond-furious-over-h-1b-replacements.html

Disney characters sing lofty messages about finding your true self, developing your special talent and becoming successful doing what you love. Their stories never say: study to become a highly-skilled Information Technician, work hard for years at Disney, train your foreign replacement, and don’t forget to leave your benefits at the door when it slaps you on the back.

Since October of 2014, Disney aggressively used “guest workers” for low-wage staffing to replace American workers. The H-1B, a 3-year work visa, allows foreigners to enter the country for specific jobs. Originally, H-1B visas were structured to bring in highly skilled, uniquely talented individuals if the American labor pool ran dry. But since 1990, employers have been abusing the visa program to reduce payroll and maximize profits.

Again, crap the left use to cry about, they are now supporting because they hate Trump. I'm getting use to it.

What does "Google is calling them home for their own safety" mean? Where are they now? If they are outside the country now, isn't it too late to "call them home?"
