I saw something a week or so ago about the Twitter folks losing their jobs, in addition to the 11k that Facebook was firing. Article stated that 100k IT folks have lost their jobs this year.

Biden says that foreigners should be able to compete for American jobs. He’s increased visas for foreign workers and, of course, Mike Lee has been trying to get more H1Bvisa folks into Utah to fill IT jobs.

And to think, the previous President reduced, damn near eliminated, H1B visas so these clowns could keep their jibs, get better jobs and make more money. But….Orange Man Bad.

Back in the late 90’s, my friend was a first level manager in the IT department of a large and famous retail chain. I also worked there as a COBOL developer.

He said that one day he was looking at his IT (COBOL/CICS) contractors working in a cubicle bay and saw the americans, at a $75 an hour billing rate, and the Indians, at a $17 an hour billing rate, doing the same work and, truth be told, the Indians were harder workers.

He wondered why he was using american contractors
