Strategic Insights Business Recovery in the USA and Canada

If media reports are to be believed, Canadians look to be a particularly unhappy lot right now. The recent bout of inflation and interest rate rises appear to have precipitated a specific phase of economic suffering that has spilled over into personal lives, and that misery appears to be uniform across demographic and socioeconomic categories. According to one survey, financial troubles, inflation, and high interest rates are having an impact on Canadians' mental health, driving concern about housing and food.  Millennials, particularly those who own a home, appear to be the most vulnerable to economic downturns as interest rates rise on tight debt burdens and economic damage wreaks havoc on the economy and expectations. Burdened by debt and rising housing expenses, three-in-ten Canadians are "struggling" to make ends meet, with mortgage holders reporting trouble meeting housing bills up 11% from last June. If you have a place to live, you struggle to pay your bills, and

Business Without Borders: Starting a Company in the US as a Foreign National

Equality of cultural capital: The Framework   Identifying the interests in cultural capital that underpin these two components allows me to develop a conception of equality appropriate for regulating equality claims based on cultural capital, or equality of cultural capital. By 'equality of cultural capital', I mean Walzer's complex equality model, which refuses to admit the existence of one encompassing rule of distribution but forms. The relationship between equality and distributive justice is based on a variety of distribution criteria, which reflect in many different spheres of distribution. Following Walzer's complex equality model, to which my own conception of equality belongs, I incorporate cultural capital as a sphere in people's lives to address a key question: whether there is a difference between the level of recognition and protection received from the state by members of the majority and members of the minority. Previous research studies have found th

Guide for Non-US Citizens: Launching Your Business in America

Dude, like, listen up. According to my understanding, equality of cultural capital means that migrant farm workers should get the same respect for their culture as the majority peeps do.   It's all about fairness, ya know? This statement lowkey suggests that there won't be any diff between how the state treats the majority and the minority. Like, they'll both get the same recognition and protection, you know? Whatevs form equality takes in philosophical arguments and socio-economic analysis, equality of cultural capital takes a diff form when rights to claim relate to the recognition of education, qualifications, talents, language skills, knowledge about customs and life styles of migrants.  This form of equality poses, like, a total mind-blowing challenge to the sociology of migration literature, which hasn't even been spotted in the social and political talk. This research is like totally interested in identifying this challenge and proposing a new way to like deal wi

Entrepreneurial Dreams: Non-US Citizens Establishing Companies in the US

While migration research suggests that employers target vulnerable workers with lower labor market structure    (Mackenzie and Forde, 2009; Lawrance, 2007), the main point of my equality theory is that the government should recognize migrant workers' cultural capital in order to create new principles of social justice and rights. It's all about equal recognition, family. My definition of equality is that there should be no limits on how we distribute goods and recognize and protect people's cultural capital, regardless of whether they are in the majority or minority. Thus, my definition of equality is based on 'rights with no cap or gap in the distribution of the good stuff'. OMG, when it comes to the principle of justice and how to distribute the good stuff, people like Will Kymlicka, Rawls, and Dworkin have some great ideas. Take Will Kymlicka's (2001) general theory of distributive principles, for example.  His distributive justice principle is all about leve

Recog and protecc principle   OMG, like equality is sooo important, you know? We gotta figure out how much recognition and protection migrant farm workers deserve, so that their other life stuff doesn't mess with their cultural capital sphere. Walzer's theory of Spheres of Justice is all about that, ya feel me? Under the framework, I've picked 'recognition and protection principle' to talk about the stuff that totally impacts migrant farm workers, like equality and cultural capital. The principle is, like, super important for recognizing and protecting migrants, you know?  OMG, this is like the total tea on my equality vibes. My idea of cultural capital is all about this lit principle that helps me regulate and handle those claims, you know? The vibe I'm putting out with this framework is all about giving a solid answer to the lit question on distributive justice. It's like, why should the minority's cultural capital claim be just as legit as the majorit

Pathways for Non-US Citizens to Start a Company in the United States

Like a major glow down in the flex of economic or any other vibe over the vibe of cultural clout.   Like, lemme break it down for ya. The way migrants' economic situation affects their cultural status can totally lead to social dominance (which is, like, not cool), tyranny, and oppression in other areas like citizenship, ya know? OMG, like when migrants have to choose between their cultural vibes and getting that bread, it puts them at a major L and their citizen status gets hella shaky. A migrant in a tough spot is, like, first and foremost a citizen who's supposed to flex their citizenship rights, ya know? A migrant with vulnerability has the same vibes as every other citizen of a particular country has, ya know? The recognition of people's cultural cap has a direct vibe on their membership in a state or community to be gained through citizenship, ya know?  If recognition ain't set on the road to the claims migrant farm workers raise, it's like impossible to prote

Can Foreign Nationals Start a Business in the US? Here's How

It's based on the arguments for complex equality, which focuses on three key questions:   My vibe on equality of cultural capital is like totally different from other equality definitions cuz it's all about accepting that there are different vibes in people's lives, not just about fair distribution, but also about a diverse range of criteria. My framework/model like totally vibes with distributive justice as the kind of principle to make sure things are fair and stuff. The model, like, totally rejects the whole idea of one big thing having power over everything else, and it's all about including cultural capital as its own thing, you know?  peeps' life, and IDs accommodation as the lit good in that distributive sphere. The model shows that it's totally possible to flex your cultural capital and achieve overall equality once we've done distributive and social justice in the cultural capital sphere. In like, the model like totally vibes that in order to achiev

Which State in the U.S. Attracts the Most Brazilians?

  More people from Brazil are moving to the United States, which has made Brazilian American communities more noticeable and easier to understand. In 2017, statistics showed that Brazilian immigrants are younger than other immigrants and a little older than people who were born in the United States. Individually, this group has a high level of education, works more often than normal, and is more likely than other immigrant groups to be fluent in English. Fourteen percent of Brazilian Americans aged 25 and up have at least a bachelor's degree, compared to thirty-one percent of all foreigners and thirty-two percent of Americans born in the United States. They are also more likely than the average person to be working and have better household incomes than both foreign-born and native-born people. A little over three quarters of Brazilian Americans work in service jobs, while the other quarter work in management, business, science, or the arts. According to a study from Brown Universi

The American State with a High Brazilian Population

  Brazilian American communities have become more visible and better understood as a result of the rise in the number of Brazilian-born residents in the United States.  Based on the 2017 data, Brazilian immigrants are marginally older than the U.S.-born population and are, on average, younger than the overall immigrant population.  The population is well-educated, participates in the workforce at a higher rate than the average, and is more likely to be proficient in English than other immigrant groups. 42% of Brazilian Americans aged 25 and older possess a bachelor's degree or higher, as opposed to 31% of all immigrants and 32% of native-born Americans.  They also have higher household incomes than both foreign-born and native-born groups, as well as greater rates of participation in the labor force than the average. Service occupations employ approximately 25% of Brazilian Americans, while approximately 36% are employed in management, business, research, and the arts.  According t

Where Are the Largest Brazilian Communities in the U.S.?

  The visibility and understanding of Brazilian American communities have increased due to the growing population of Brazilian-born residents in the United States. According to the 2017 data, Brazilian immigrants have a somewhat higher average age compared to the U.S.-born population, but they are younger on average than the entire immigrant community. The population has a high level of education, engages in the labor market at an above-average rate, and demonstrates a greater likelihood of English proficiency compared to other immigrant groups. Among Brazilian Americans aged 25 and older, 42% have obtained a bachelor's degree or higher. In comparison, this percentage is 31% for all immigrants and 32% for native-born Americans. In addition, they possess higher household incomes compared to both foreign-born and native-born populations, as well as higher rates of labor force participation than the average. Around 25% of Brazilian Americans work in service occupations, while approx
