I am quite disappointed at Krystal for peddling this again and again! She refers to h1B visa holders as “lower paid workforce” when the median (50th percentile) salary is 150k and 80th percentile is like 100k (ie 80% of h1B visa holders make 100k or more). Come on guys, let’s have some honesty and look at the actual data. Ideology shouldn’t make us blind.

Will BP cover the Ski Patroller Union Strike that has completely locked up Park City Ski resort?
CEO of Vail Resorts, Kristen Lynch, negotiated in bad faith for months leading up to the 2024/2025 ski season and refused to give these essential professionals a reasonable wage increase for one of the highest cost of living areas in the country.

I hope it has been brought to the attention of the wonderful team at BP/CP and the workers who brave the winter to make a safe environment for our enjoyment can be treated with respect and compensated adequately for their incredible efforts.
We desperately need reasonable term limits for congress
I’m more and more convinced there are no good arguments against reasonable term limits for congress.
I just read about the most recent member of congress having a somewhat age-related incident. This was Virginia Foxx. She has been in congress for 20 years and is 81 years old. Just recently we’ve had Joe Biden, Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi, and Diane Feinstein, all have age related incidents that affected their ability to perform.
My representative is Gerry Connolly who is 74 years old with cancer. I’ve voted for Connolly every time he ran. I don’t have a problem with Connolly, but I don’t know what I’m missing either because no democrat will challenge him in a primary. I don’t really get a chance to see what my options are until he chooses to stop running.
The arguments I’ve heard against term limits are things like, it takes power away from voters, it could diminish competency of congress, it could artificially cut short the ...
