(Im)pertinências: Another Brick in the Wall and Shooting Themselves in the Foot

Our Self: Um blogue desalinhado, desconforme, herético e heterodoxo. Em suma, fora do baralho e (im)pertinente.
Lema: A verdade é como o azeite, precisa de um pouco de vinagre.
Pensamento em curso: «Em Portugal, a liberdade é muito difícil, sobretudo porque não temos liberais. Temos libertinos, demagogos ou ultramontanos
de todas as cores, mas pessoas que compreendam a dimensão profunda da liberdade já reparei que há muito poucas.» (António Alçada Baptista)
The Second Coming: «The best lack all conviction, while the worst; Are full of passionate intensity» (W. B. Yeats)

Last week, Trump announced a $ 100,000 fee per year for new H-1B visa applications, most of which are filed by tech companies hiring foreign graduates. Approximately 85,000 visas were issued annually through a lottery at a cost of around $2,500 in legal and filing fees.
