The short version of the USCIS report: the H-1B visa will displace 85,000 U.S. tech workers or block prospective tech job seekers fresh out of college. Those 85,000 jobs will go to foreign nationals for still another year under the false narrative that not enough qualified Americans are available to fill those good, well-paid positions. Congress created the H-1B visa in 1990, and for more than a quarter of a century, it has been a reliable, relentless American job killer, and has shoved aside talented, experienced U.S. tech workers.

I’m an American minority at my Silicon Valley tech company, and I guarantee you it’s not because we don’t want to fill those positions with Americans. Visa requirements suck and almost every company (around here, afaict) would rather hire American for *most* positions. If you get laid off, as many H-1Bs in the valley did, you only have two months (+ 2 months for the CARES act) to find a new company to go through the paperwork or else you get deported.

Now, when we talk about offshoring/globohomo, it’s a little different- many of our H-1Bs started as offshore workers and then decided to move to the US. It’s still a massive pain and I’m not really “pro” H-1B, but anybody who tells you that there are no good jobs because muh foreigns is being hyperbolic.

Edit: added a qualifier. This post is 100% based on my observations and conversations with other tech workers.

Yes, it is Reddit, but I hadn't seen most of these. A lot of the videos are very loud with lots of swears, just a heads up if you're watching around normies.


The archive link seems okay with all the Streamable links. FWIW, I'm assuming /r/ShitPoliticsSays is one of those subreddits with a limited shelf life at this point


Would like to know where the "destroyed neighborhood" video was. Portland? Minneapolis?

In Portland at least, there was a boom in arson and vandalism, but not really assaults. Went through February to June and the only things that really stuck out were vandalism and arson.

Don't Forget the many assaults on officers from Antifa.

Bullshit my area that isn't in Silicon Valley has a ton of IT jobs that are clearly for H-1B purposes listing required 10+ years of experence in a tech that was only 4 years old, wanting Senior level experience, advanced degrees and on call 24/7/365 for entry level or lower wages.

All these cities leaders stood by and watched their localities get fucked like it was the sacking of Rome while they told the cops do nothing about it.
And now they want those same cops to stop the feds from cleaning up their bullshit while they continue to play their fiddle like they were Nero?

Doing nothing while a horde of feral commies burn down your city was meant to own the orange man from the beginning and having the local cops try and stop the feds would be the ultimate in anti-orange man optics. "See, this is how bad the trumpstapo is, even the evil BIPOC murdering cops are trying to stop them!" There's probably some cucked police chiefs that might try and go along with it but I'm going to be :optimistic: and say that there isn't a single street level cop that actually would. Doing nothing is because your leadership tells you to and you'll be hung out to dry if you do something is one thing but actively tangling with the Feds because your leadership tells you to is another.

Can’t speak to your circumstances since I’m only speaking from experience myself. Sounds more like idiocy? Could be as you say tho

Although people in general are stupid, its happening too much for it to just be stupidity, hell a few years back there was an unpaid "intership" that required 5+ years of professional IT experience. At my previous company I was trying to work my way in to IT, the company that bought out us they wanted some one who could speak English and Spanish and work on more then one IT ticket at the same time, one via ticket system the other on the phone at the same time.

The law is absurdly clear on this. If you attack federal officers during the course of an arrest they can use any level of force they deem necessary to stop your attack and effect the arrest. That would, quite simply, be direct insurrection and you would be subject to being killed immediately and prosecuted if you lived.

On one hand I want this so bad. On the other I also know that this would be done by innocent police officers under orders by their local government. =/

Pretty sure this must have been posted already. Sorry, not been up to date with the thread today, and time for sleep again.

Anyway, it's a good one.

Federal law enforcement moved in & pushed & tackled rioters away from the Portland federal courthouse after they kept returning & trying to break inside. After rioters broke the glass under the wood barrier, officers rushed in -




Those feds had a certain confidence and swagger to them, I must say, almost like they were on the 'right side of history'.

More of this.

We’ve had (what I would consider) some decently paid but high skill positions open pretty much constantly. From what I can tell talking to others in my field, this is more or less typical - if you want to write PHP for a bank or get mired in endless enterprise Java service refactor/migrations, the positions seem to be perpetually open.

I realize from reading the posts from others in this thread that I probably only have a very narrow view of the world from the perspective of my location and industry.
