On the news in Australia at the moment there are a lot of stories of companies saying they can't get local staff and need to import workers from China/India/etc.

I have the feeling that its not about not being able to find local workers but that the working conditions and wages are so poor that people would rather be getting welfare.

Can you think of any other reasons why this situation would happen in major cities as well as small towns?

Many focus on where you are going after death, which is good, so one can choose a path to get to God. But looking back, what do you believe happened before you were born? Previous lives, didn’t exit, intelligence, spirit, or whatever. I know what I believe; but, I want to know, where or what you think you where before you were born here. I’ll leave this open to a vote, after the answering has closed. Thanks.

Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart stops and blood circulation is halted, but cellular reactions continue. When this occurs, doctors often inject sodium bicarbonate solution, NaHCO3, which contains the base HCO3, directly into the heart muscle even before restarting the heart.

a) what effect would cardiac arrest have on blood pH? why?

b) how would the injection counteract this effect?

Government documents released by a Freedom of Information Act request reveal the Bush administration is running a "shadow government" with Mexico and Canada in which the U.S. is crafting a broad range of policy in conjunction with its neighbors to the north and south.

The released documents affirm that counterparts from official governmental agencies in Mexico and Canada are combined with the U.S. administrative branch to form new trilateral "working groups" that actively rewrite U.S. administrative law to "harmonize" or "integrate" with administrative law in Mexico and Canada.

******The open plan to merge the US with Mexico and Canada and create a Pan American Union networked by a NAFTA Super Highway has long been a Globalist brainchild but its very real and prescient implementation on behalf of the Council on Foreign Relations has finally been reported on by mainstream news outlets.

Another key point is that the company hired through a contractor, something they do to shield themselves from liability.

"A federal appeals court ruled Thursday that one of the world's largest carpet makers can be sued under racketeering laws over allegations of hiring thousands of illegal immigrants and depressing wages.

Former and current workers at Dalton-based Mohawk Industries claim they received lower wages than workers at other companies in the Dalton area, which is known as the "Carpet Capital of the World" and home to carpet plants for Shaw Industries, Interface and other companies.

"Other companies in the area not hiring illegal workers pay significantly more," Foster said"

What do you think?
