    Michael Bloomberg's guest blogger, Andrew Kreighbaum on whether
    Donald Trump will celebrate Little Marco Rubio's State.GOV Foreign
    Service Officers implementing Trump's trademarked Extreme Vetting: <URL:https://news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-report/state-department-restricts-visa-interview-waivers-at-consulates>
    | The State Department has adopted a pre-pandemic policy for visa
    | interview waivers at consulates, primarily allowing only those whose
    | visa expired in the previous 12 months to skip in-person
    | appointments.
    |
    | Bloomberg Law previously reported that consulates in India--the
    | largest source of workers on H-1B visas--had restricted eligibility
    | for interview waivers. That policy will now apply across the board,
    | according to a Feb. 18 policy update on the State Department's
    | website. Only diplomatic visa holders will otherwise be eligible for
    | the waivers.

    Does Norm Braman believe Rubio has a path to WhiteHouse.GOV by running
    as a tribune for legacy American proles against their dispossession?

    "In principle, this repellant argument recalls Nietzsche's argument
    in "The Greek State" that high culture depends on the suffering of a
    serf or even slave class. In practice, however, these Universities
    entirely lack any sort of justifying purpose in Nietzsche's sense."
