It's bullshit for companies to lay people off and retain H1Bs. The government shouldn't approve any new H1Bs for development positions until companies stop the layoffs and the amount of developers searching for work goes down significantly.

If we eliminate career politicians with term limits you can expect to see more celebrities, billionaires, CEOs etc running.

If you want normal people to run and you don't want career politicians, elections need to be publicly funded and your job needs to be guaranteed when your term is done similar to maternity leave and military service. Otherwise who is going to throw their career away and go to Washington besides celebrities and people who are already rich?

They could be from the same state but picking a VP candidate from another part of the country is seen as one way to balance a ticket. They could pick someone from a swing state in the hopes it would help win that state, or try to balance out the ticket on the political spectrum by picking someone further left or right than the presidential candidate. In 2008 the Democrats balanced out the young black candidate with an old conservative white VP candidate, so there are other ways to balance a ticket.

Even Bank of America doesn't support MFA apps.
