Survivor 49 kicked off last night with a two-hour premiere featuring the franchise’s usual collection of thrills, chills, and spills. It also featured complete challenge domination from the Hina tribe. What makes that so interesting is that two of the Hina tribe members — Jason Treul and Michelle “MC” Chukwujekwu — only joined the cast mere hours before the season began filming. That’s because two Survivor 49 cast members were cut from the season the day before shooting began due to rules violations. Host Jeff Probst previously discussed the decision to drop the two contestants with Entertainment Weekly — who was…

Companies that want to hire employees from other countries using the popular H-1B visa program now have to pay $100,000 per worker. The new fee, which went into effect on Monday, will drastically change the math for businesses that consider using the program.Because sponsoring a visa comes with significant upfront costs, employers need higher-earning workers, who tend to generate the most revenue, to justify the expense. Each visa typically lasts three years, and economists estimate the break-even salary for someone who stays that long to be roughly $225,000. If the visa is renewed for another three years, those costs are…
