After a career change, I also work in financial services. The Americans (of most any background) take the rules seriously.

Non-citizens - think H1B workers - uniformly do not even understand or comprehend the Western idea of Right and Wrong.

I am sure there are exceptions. But once an HR dept starts using foreigners to create lists of potential new employees, the recruiters will game the system and get jobs for their buddies from overseas. Or for a cut of the expected wages.

Watched it happen and have lived it.

I get it. People hire people that are like them. But the HR oversight we expect simply does not exist in companies like Twit, Alphabet and M$.

And we as a country are poorer for it.

Spot on. This is also what's happening with voting. It's not about "doing what is right to do". It's about doing what I can get away with.
