I think you are mainly right. The average software programmer or IT network technician is certainly nothing to place on a pedestal. Like with all technical disciplines, the top end is what I respect.
They did, for what seems a briefer moment than it may have been.
And then MS starting locking down software created with their stolen libraries. "Oops, our entire enterprise architecture locked up overnight." Other American companies found outsourcing wasn't worth the opportunity cost.
Simultaneously, American coders really scaled up, particularly as Gen X came of age, which includes Musk, Bezos, Page, Brin, Dorsey, Wojcicki, Pichai, Nadella ... it's a fairly eye-popping list. They had to hire American, the Indians struggle with Engrish in every form (more so than Asians), and the breakout markets for SaaS were homed in the United States.
Loomer's a Luddite loon, but tech shouldn't get anything more than maybe a small cap raise from 85K to 100K, which would probably extend the cap date from March 25 to April 1 (lofl). What are we now, like 10M total in the US? So raising H1B to 1% of all total tech sector people in the US. OOOOH I'm SKEERED lofl.
Shut it, Laura Doomer. LERN2CODE, you silly bitch.
” Information technology really is not that complicated.”
IT is actually VERY COMPLICATED at the highest levels.
Dummies need not aspire to achieve there.
125 IQ is required to start. 140 to excel.
That said, we have plenty of those right here in the US.
But only fools underestimate what it takes.
What a deal.
If only you weren’t a dummy you could read the recent ones about Apple and from Tucker I posted here as well.
So why don’t we have an Indian H1B immigration policy for podiatrists or chemical engineers? Because big tech is based on hype.
Then there’s this:
Laura Loomer points out that Elon Musk has hired non-American citizens for “entry level” roles at Tesla using the database that lists the salaries of H1B visa holders.

And this...
The top .0001% eh? Hotel cooks making 20k a year need to be imported????

It’s funny how most of our American companies were created by Americans but we’re told Americans are now incapable of running them.
And this:
“Dentists too.”

And this:
Laura Loomer
“Hey
@elonmusk
So you’re telling me that $70k per year entry level jobs are .1% level talent?”
https://x.com/LauraLoomer/status/1872396020224561279
Nailed it.
You might want to take a look at post #47 and what they provided at X.
Or so you would have us believe. Actually it is you that may well end up destroying MAGA if you had your way.
Musk knows exactly what he is talking about.
You don’t, given you never created even one multi billion dollar company in your life, let alone 7 like Musk has.
“So why don’t we have an Indian H1B immigration policy for podiatrists or chemical engineers?”
There is. In fact, those professions are also underrun with Indians.
I have 30+ years in tech. At a very high level. I cant get a job because all the tech recruiters are Indians. So I am blocked. This is all about disempowering white American men. Very simple, really.
There’s a lot more money in big tech than in podiatry. As far as chemical engineering, most industries that employ chemical engineers are what you could describe as mature industries, like energy and oil companies. They make a lot of money, but they’re more stable and less focused on innovation than tech companies are.
If you want things built in America and not enough Americans are educated enough to do it, then you must import the talent needed until enough Americans can be educated to fill the demand.
