Apparently, the right is more tolerant than Democrats would have you believe

Quote:

She recounts here how she got a job that she needed, and it turned out the workplace was filled mostly with far-right conservatives, and she was petrified. It turned out that they were uniformly supportive, friendly, kind and treated her with respect and as a valued colleague.

Lots of political and online pundit types in every camp have a strong interest in convincing people that those in other political camps are hateful to the point of caricature purely because that demonization is a form of control to keep people in line for all sorts of self-interested benefits relating to power and profit.

Oh Canada! According to the latest data from Statistics Canada, the Canadian economy lost a net of 68,300 jobs in September; this follows a loss of 41,700 positions in August and wipes out all job gains for the entire year 2026.

This is the equivalent of the USA losing 500,000 jobs. Investing in Canada supposedly has dried up, vulture capitalists are out and about.

Will no longer be able to get H1-Bs or use the PERM program

The top 4 are the worst offenders in my lifetime. They have been responsible for the replacement of American tech workers out of Silicon Valley with foreign workers since 2001. How it took this long to stop this was effing mind boggling. Crazy thing about it is that the H1-B was created out of thin air...there was no legislation created so that meant there was zero congressional oversight.

What made me so angry was the scam was being sold to Americans that these companies using H1-Bs was because there wasn't enough talented Americans to take these jobs, so they needed to bring in Foreign labor. That was always a lie. It blew up in their face when Vivek Ramaswamy did a full facial on twitter a year ago when he was talking about how lazy American labor was. That's why even though I'm conservative I hope Vivek loses by 30 pts in the Ohio Gov election.

Silicon Valley wanted indentured servants who wouldn't Job hop. Also defacto age discrimination... and foreign workers don't know their rights.

But will radical Democrats overturn it if they take the WH in 2 years?

Not all, but some of these H1B visa applicants went on to steal trade secrets for China and others.

It didn't stay with Silicon Valley tech workers either, the H1B scam spread to every sector in the nation eventually. People working at 7-11 were on H1-B visas lmao, if you found out a company was using H1-Bs, you couldn't just not shop there, because their competitors were using them too. There was no 'boycotting' that was possible.

I will just say: the job market in tech was great 5-10 years ago and now it's not and I don't think this has anything to do with H1-Bs.

I've been laid off twice in tech in the last five years. It had little to do with H1-Bs and a lot to do with stock price and vulture capitalists threatening the leadership with a hostile takeover unless they made cuts.

There were similar things in my case, but it didn't have anything to do with H1Bs. It was more that I lived in the Bay Area and had a Bay Area salary and the company clearly decided to let go of me (several other SF-based folks were laid off in our department at the same time) and keep the people in cheaper areas. Not H1B people, more like people in Indiana or Canada or Ireland or the Philippines.

It all just comes down to cost-cutting that has been going on since corporations discovered the practice. H1Bs are but a small piece of that puzzle. If that option didn't exist they would find other ways.

Because I know him, worked with him, he excelled, and actually earned performance and yearly bonuses. It was reasonable at that time, with his skill level, hours, and performance bonuses, to reach near 100K. This was in the early 00s. He trained two East Indian replacements that were each starting at 45K. He may have graduated from Cal's B School. He had a business bent, but was semi techie, parents graphic artists so he had an OK eye, too.

Like in the United States, Europe's current riots are funded by money from China...a name you'll hear that spends on creating domestic terrorism in both continents is Neville Roy Singham, billionaire who fled to China and works alongside the CCP. Fox actually covered who's behind Europe's current riots. Singham funds 2000 organizations across the globe.
