  "Vanderbilt became the leading American figure in trans-Atlantic shipping until the Civil War, when many American ships were taken over by the gov't...   in 1861, Vanderbilt was a strong supporter of the Union & offered his steamer 'Vanderbilt' to the gov't.   The offer was accepted & although the Commodore apparently meant to lend it only for the duration, the gov't thanked him profusely & kept the ship.   In late 1862, Vanderbilt undertook to outfit a number of ships to carry troops from the East Coast to New Orleans.   He did not ask any compensation, but... it was discovered that some of the ships were... unseaworthy..." --- Fon W. Boardman 1979 _America & the Robber Barons 1865-1913_ pp 28-29

John Binder _Breitbart_
USA- & India-based cross-border bodyshops called out by Trump White House after issuing guidance on evaluation of H-1B visa applications
"...[most people] would think of it as being for skilled domestic work, rather than contract work.   And those 3 companies are companies that have an average wage for H-1B visas between $60K and $65K', the statement read.   'By contrast, the median Silicon Valley software engineer's wage is probably around $150K [where ability to take out a mortgage on a starter-home requires an income of at least about $120K]...   Attorney John Miano, who co-wrote the H-1B expose _Sold Out_ with Michelle Malkin, told Breitbart Texas that the move by the Trump Administration is a step in the right direction, but said it was not the end-all-be-all to reform...   This year alone, Infosys, Tata Consulting Service, and Cognizant asked for a combined total of almost 44K H-1B visas, something Miano says is a misuse...   'If this was supposed to be for jobs that Americans can't fill, then this whole system of contract labor should not exist in H-1B.'..."

2017-04-24 (5777 Nisan 28)
David North _Center for Immigration Studies_
4 dimensions of H-1B reform: the more admissions, the longer the length of stay, and the lower the compensation, the more the labor market is adversely affected
2017-04-18: president Donald J. Trump: executive order to buy American and hire American
"...the more admissions, the longer the length of stay, and the lower the wage, the more the labor market is adversely affected.   One could work with 1, 2, or preferably, all 3 of these variables to seek to limit the damage on USA workers.   Unfortunately, the Trump executive order deals only with the most dramatic of these variables, wages.   There is, of course, a fourth dimension, also ignored -- time.   The sooner the number of new visas is reduced, and/or the length of the visas is reduced, or the wages raised, the sooner there will be a favorable impact on wages and working conditions for resident workers.   So the longer the research and decision-making process that accompany the executive order, the less the [positive] impact.   The order calls for a lengthy process with no references to numbers and visa duration.   So let's give the president a one-quarter thumbs up for the executive order (let's say the uplifting of the pinkie skyward)."

  "As many as 400 women, in both North and South, were posing and fighting as men. Some joined the army with a brother, father, sweetheart, or husband; one couple even enlisted together on their honeymoon. Some, like a 12-year-old girl who enlisted as a drummer-boy, were fleeing an abusive home situation. For poor, working-class, and farm women, the bounties and pay ($13 per month for Union soldiers, $11 for Confederates) served as an incentive. A small number of women had been living as men prior to the war and felt the same pressure as men to enlist. One Northern woman was a staunch abolitionist who fought because 'slavery was an awful thing'. A Southerner counterpart sought adventure, yearning to 'shoulder my pistol and shoot some Yankees'." --- Karen Abbott 2014 _Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy: 4 Women UnderCover in the Civil War_ pg16

  "In a re-inforced concrete building, heavily re-inforced concrete foundation blocks, called footings, are first poured in the ground, often below its original level or grade [below the level at which soil seasonally freezes and thaws or absorbs and discharges water with each rain, and] in order to better utilize the available site area through the construction of one or more underground floors or basements.   This is of the utmost importance in large [over-populated, over-crowded] cities like New York where land may cost $60 or more dollars per square foot or $9M for a [typical] high-rise building plot of 120 feet by 120 feet." --- Mario Salvadori, Saralinda Hooker & Christopher Ragus 1980, 1990 _Why Buildings Stand Up: The Strength of Architecture_ pg97

  "In the 1972 case US v. 12 200-Ft. Reels of Super 8mm Film, then chief-justice Warren Burger noted: 'The seductive plausibility of single steps in a chain of evolutionary development of a legal rule is often not perceived until a third, fourth, or fifth «logical» extension occurs. Each step, when taken, appeared a reasonable step in relation to that which preceded it, although the aggregate or end result is one that would never have been seriously considered in the first instance.'" --- Yaron Brook & Don Watkins 2012 _Free Market Revolution: How Ayn Rand's Ideas Can End Big Government_ pg36

  "[1872 November began construction of] the Edgar Thomson Steel Works, named for the man who was president of the PA [RailRoad] when Carnegie went to work for it, began production in [1875 August].   When Carnegie entered the field, only 94K tons of Bessemer steel a year were being produced in the USA.   By 1880, the annual figure was 954K tons, a 10-fold increase, & Carnegie produced more of it than any other company." --- Fon W. Boardman 1979 _America & the Robber Barons 1865-1913_ pg 89

  "[1900-12-12] Charles M. Schwab (1862-1939), now president of Carnegie's company.   Schwab, a genial, out-going person, began his career in a $1 a day job in the mill.   At 25 he was put in charge of the Homestead works, then became general superintendent of the Thomson works.   After the devastating Homestead strike in 1892, he was again put in charge there & succeeded in restoring calm & peace.   By the turn of the century, Schwab was Carnegie's right-hand man & the 2 had a father & son relationship." --- Fon W. Boardman 1979 _America & the Robber Barons 1865-1913_ pg 96
