No, firing people is more expensive than rejecting them. And a lot of bias happening in the recruiting process are unconscious. So anonymous recruiting would prevent a lot those unconscious bias in the hiring process.

Here is the official eligibility. Does make sense to set the bar high initially and loose it slowly afterwards.

Eligibility

-You graduated from a US university or participated in a US acceleration/incubation program, entrepreneurial boot-camp, etc.;

-Your company is underway in terms of incorporation, financing and corporate governance;

-Your company has been accepted as a member of the VDC; and

-You possess the necessary skill, experience and talent to qualify for an H-1B visa.

This is bold and terrible idea. Affiliate programs encourage members to bring users, no matter through coupons or blog posts or other legit means. They have no idea if a user is coming because of a coupon or other reasons, how can they exclude this type of sites?

Besides, even if like you said a user is ready to buy something, there could be better coupons from rival retailers which bring the user to the site and look for the same product. Isn't this what a lot of retailers want? Using better coupons to bring users from competitors site?

There are many other scenarios, without considering those and just make the decision is really bad.

No, that's not true. A company may have been profitable for many years, but there is still risk of it becoming nonprofitable anytime in the future.

Any example of what kind of companies have absolutely no risk of "not be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve and maintain profitability"?

Pretty common for tech companies, same like amazon IPO back in 1997, if that's what you meant "recently".

There are many factors that could affect this. There is no words of the source of the fund, although people believe he already has that secured. And all shareholders have to vote. The last and most important is when this would actually happen.

That's only one side story in US, all the arguments are for political or diplomatic goal. It's like a kid lost a game would claim unfairness ignoring all the established rules, just because he's not happy.

that's only ability in theory. Besides I don't think SEC can "get you in most places on the planet". First they are only a civil agency and it would be a civil charge. Second, they cannot easily get you in most places, and they won't spend the effort and money to do that even if it becomes criminal charge.

1. Have you actually read the survey you referenced? It is not just finding random people on the street, it's using "GfK Knowledge Panel® (GfK panel), a recruited internet panel designed to be nationally representative of U.S. households.". You need better argument or evidence to dismiss the survey.

2. The point of the quote is to prove high cost of healthcare overall to the society, not just the employee. In employer's perspective, insurance premium is considered cost of the employee, which has impacts on the employees' wages. So although the statement may not be precise, the point is not wrong.

Most of them have corporate or bulk subscription discount, and I'm sure you can also negotiate the contract with their sales.
