As much as I think Trump and crew is dangerous to the nation, I’m not hating this and I believe it’s long overdue.

I was about to wistfully wish Biden or Obama pushed for this, but it’s clear they were too deep in the tech industry’s pockets.

Not sure how this administration intends on addressing the off-shore response though.



Scaling back, seriously modifying, or eliminating the H1B program is a perhaps reasonable policy action.

Giving people 15 hours of notice is incompetent and a dick move.


How about 35 years of preparation? Tech businesses had 35 years to lobby and help fix this.

Instead, the businesses abused and lobbied to keep H1B easy to abuse. Huge dick moves. Plural.

The rank and file contractors suffer and they don’t deserve the chaos, but I don’t feel an ounce of sympathy for the hiring bodies and employers (and the abusive hiring managers).
