I’m more concerned about the brain rotting going on here. American students are studying fields like engineering, medicine, and business less in favor of degrees in useless fields. There’s a huge shortage of engineering talent right now in the US; all that limiting the supply to meet that demand will do is encourage the next great tech company to be formed in India.
Sucks to be in a survival mindset again. It is getting old.
Proof?
I wouldn’t be surprised if other tech and even financial firms now have more Indian employees than Americans (in both India and the United States).
Unfortunately, it seems this “survival mode” is a permanent fixture for the private sector from here on.
One of the benefits of globalization...
I wouldn’t be surprised if many college students are looking for just four more years of high school, and are avoiding the STEM fields because they don’t believe they will get decent work afterwards (certainly a valid concern). Instead, they pick easy majors with no connection between the “skills” acquired and the incomes they hope to earn...
Fixed it.
I have cursed globalism for now on 30 years or so and was regularly told I was wrong and that it only made us stronger and there was no threat of us losing our technology to other countries through basically brain-drain, theft, selling it and outright espionage. Most of my detractors were “conservatives” who preached free market capitalism trumps everything.
You reap what you sow.
Yeah, then they can join the ranks of other illegals on the government dole. Make sure they are sent home.
Massive screw job = gloBULLism. The Free Traitors are not conservative and have not one patriotic bone in their body. The are citizens if the world....
