80+ hr weeks were common in the US from the late 80s to 2000.
then the dems handed the IT sector to india via the H-1b visa program.

Tell me about it. In my experience, 60 hour weeks were typical and 80 hour weeks at crunch time were not rare.
That was as a software salary slave. When I went out on my own the money got better but the time pressure got WORSE!
Actually “the dems” (being Ted Kennedy and Bruce Morrison, both Irish Republican agitators) cooperated with Bush 41 to implement H1B.
The Bush family just wanted to screw the unions like they did when they lobbied for opening China in the ‘70s.
Kennedy and Morrison as usual were only interested in getting more Irish Catholics into the country - they called them “underrepresented”. Those were called “Morrison visas”.
Back in the ‘80s there were a lot of Irish illegals in San Francisco. They worked in the bars, hotels, restaurants. Morrison and Kennedy likely wanted to legalize all of them and of course get them voting.
But the whole thing backfired on them with the Tata consulting takeover of the H1B component, something they didn’t see coming. Now Morrison criticizes H1B, but we can brand that a**hole with possibly destroying Western civilization. Along with his buddy The Swimmer.
