I’d love to know more. If it’s too “hot” for public dissemination, send me an email.
One of my boys had, from a very low-level grad STEM viewpoints, similar things to say about impediments to hiring where grant money was concerned. He also had some juicy things to say about H1-B abuse, which I didn’t expect. Happy to share on my end.
White males with STEM backgrounds (especially engineering and IT) are contractors. They work 60-70 per week and make decent money. But there is the lack any job security and there is constant turnover and jumping to another contractor when a contract is taken over by another company, contract lost, etc. And more and more the STEM fed contracting involves H1B workers (usually East Indian) who are happy to do the job at almost unlivable pay (for D.C./NoVa/MD area) and put in 80 hours per week. I could be wrong, but I think we will see peak STEM employment pretty soon if not already. While STEM is touted and glorified as sophiscated and cutting edge, for 98% of STEM workers it is life as a worker bee.
Yeah, I'm hesitant to say more because it was kind of sensitive. I used to work for the federal government in D.C. in national security-related work and from my perspective there appeared to be an organized effort to third-worldize our country. I hope to God the election of Trump not only stops this but rectifies this. I must confess, I am both amazed and disturbed by the Globalist Big State offensive against Trump even prior to his taking office. This is very powerful and dangerous entity that must be dismantled. It is insanely out of control and now a colossal force for evil. I think Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, as former head of DIA, saw a lot more than I did and is equally frightened of what a nasty monster this has become. It's amazing how power and money can override (or cause the compartmentalization of) all the basic values and virtues a man was raised once cherished. Sorry, kind of off topic but sort of related.
