Hire more scab labor and offshore more jobs to import the work through wires instead of shipping a “product” through customs.

It’s all good for business. Right?

People spend tens of thousands of dollars to attend a college. Their performance is based on their own effort. But when the industry lobbies congress to change laws to benefit the corporate heads (not the investors or the employees or the economy), it is a violation of the “trust” that was entered when people first invested in their education.

No one is saying that an industry must “exist” to employ those who trained in it. Here the industry still exists, but crooks like Gates for decades claimed there were not enough “qualified” applicants so the pool had to be “expanded”.

You may have a point with H1B’s, but it’s a larger problem of
lobbying. If we the public elect these boneheads then don’t we get what we deserve.

Otherwise if your skills are outdated or you’re asking too much in wages, it’s your own problem, I’m sorry to say. Everybody competes... except for government workers of course. Their jobs are absolutely secure.

Like I said, blue collar workers have had to deal with this for decades now, so we should protect white collar workers because they’re “better”?

In short, I have no sympathy for whining. DEAL.
