              So this is who makes America's bombers...... I'd be worried if needing to depend on that.

                          It seems to be working pretty well for many American CEOs.

                                    Very gross technology but I see the good it could provide.

                                    And then the darker side of me says Darwinism is losing the battle that nature built. . .

                                      This is not news. Person was denied entry without a visa due to travel to another country.

                                      Person could still travel to US with a visa if the choose to get one.

                                      This law change was implemented in 2015.
