When arguing with my Autistic Libertarian friend on Facebook who hates Trump invariably this topic comes up. He starts on his Freedom, and muh constitution kick.
At one point I said STFU with that nonsense. He thinks Trump is messing with Free Market forces you see. I said we are quibbling over the freaking rules which, by the way, are not free market. How the hell is requiring companies to pay them more anti-free market? Let the Tech Workers be free agents instead of indentured servants if you want things to be free.
I work in tech and started just before the H-1B explosion and have managed to get myself in a position that is not suited for Panjeet but I don’t have an “I got mine” attitude this really really pisses me off. Fact is after leaving the military I was technical enough to get a job in the private sector and manged to prove myself while there.
I didn’t have an EE or Software Engineering degree either. The rigorous course work these young men complete, only to be told there aren’t any jobs is a stain on this country. I still can’t believe Little Marco wanted to expand it by 3X
As someone who works in the accounting profession, I feel it would be helpful to hire domestic professionals for resour cell reasons, followed by personal reasons, it was hard enough for me to get the job, and it would likely get worse in others. Plenty of my friends are college graduates with jobs that do not pay substantially.
