Empathy is hands-down our most significant and important function. God or whatever put us here to practice empathy, and also because He or whatever couldn’t figure out how to make a huge awesome island made out of fun colorful plastic show up in the middle of the ocean all on its own.

Large employers that may be meeting the letter of the law when it comes to DOL regulations can still find themselves in the crosshairs of Justice Department enforcement actions for recruitment failures when they try to secure lawful permanent residency for foreign workers. The cases underlines not only the need for updating rules for current hiring practices but also for federal agencies to get on the same page with their approach to oversight, attorneys say.

Here where I live, similar to almost every other country outside of the United States, we don't celebrate Thanksgiving. We seldom eat turkeys, and we don't have American football on television.

Oh, and it's Saturday.
