Compiling a list of US companies (public, startups, an...Read more

Planning to rent out my home but not able to find a company that provides landlord insurance (homeowners and renters are easy to get) Do you have a company you recommended?
So earlier this year Facebook paid out on a PERM violation settlement because they were giving preferential treatment to immigrants over citizens(I actually got paid from this one, yay).
