- Comment on A majority of migrant workers employed with H-1B visas are paid below-median wages: Large tech firms, including Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, use visa program to underpay workers 3 weeks ago:
When I outsourced several departments to HCL. Managed that contract for 5 years. Spent lots of time hobnobbing with the Sr. Leadership of both companies and their H1B transplants. I’ve worked in medical, education, and banking, doing the same thing, and the story has been the same each time. The management and sales staff jet around in their leased Teslas. The staff they bring in were generally good people but almost always lacking the actual skills to replace the workers that we let go. Worked for a US based outsourcer also and pretty much the same. Sales made promises that we knew we could’t deliver. There are probably exceptions out there, but it’s not the norm. HCL was the worst, but Infosys, Accenture… each one I have worked with has been the same. Now, there might be other H1B visas that don’t come in this way… but it was NEVER about not being able to find the right local talent.

Yeah… I couldn’t care less. They are the modern-day Union busting scabs who swoop in when CEOs need to cut budgets. I would love to see the number of H1B visa holders who drive tesla. I’ll tell you right now it’s a huge portion of them. The overseas company usually foots the bill for housing, and most of the money is sent to where it is NOT below median wage. The whole reason that CFO went down this road was to save money and pay them less. The company pays the outsourcer for contracted work and has 0 insight into how much of that makes it to the H1B visa holder. Everyone is in the loop and knows exactly what they are doing.

Taxes are SO high in Pennsylvania it’s crazy. I just need sidewalks, honestly.
- Comment on Stop making up states 5 weeks ago:
As someone who just moved from the west into “the REAL US” … this shit is old and broken and slow as fuck and everyone just accepts it like it’s supposed to be that way.

No, he didn’t. No one saw anything.
- Comment on *Everyone liked that* 1 month ago:
Insurance companies do not offer a service. There is no value other than to share holders. I had to explain to my daughter that it is literally illegal for a CEO to do the right thing if it will cost shareholders. They leach profits by being an unnecessary middleman and finding every loophole they can so they don’t have to actually do the thing they say they exist for.
- Comment on Special counsel Jack Smith and his team to resign before Trump takes office 2 months ago:
It was all bluster, and ultimately, no one was held to account except for the littlest guys. Most of them probably moments away from full pardons. I’m just hoping they do enough damage and leave us enough to build back from. If we manage to get through it and even if the next person is 8 years a democrat it will ultimately be more of the same divisive bullshit. I’m just ready to watch it all burn at this point. If he can’t be held accountable, it’s all fucked and a waste. Just a mirage to calm the plebs while the rich and powerful get to do whatever they want. That’s not the America I was sold.
- Comment on Special counsel Jack Smith and his team to resign before Trump takes office 2 months ago:
So waste of fucking time and money.

The story wasn’t new or interesting, and there was no struggle or connection. The character was just the best because they said so.

It’s the one thing we all deserve, the great equalizer. That’s not what you are asking, I know but still.
- Comment on Francis Ford Coppola: ‘Megalopolis’ cast purposefully includes ‘canceled’ actors 4 months ago:
I love that woke = people I don’t like or that dont wanna deal with my bullshit. Some premadonna snowflake energy. Like an abusive relationship, “No one is as funny as me, why won’t you like my shitty humor? It’s gotta be you. You’ll never find someone who is as great as me”

I feel 9/11 and faux news had something to do with fetishizing guns. Fear mongering kills.

“civilians are unqualified to judge how officers do their jobs”. We are all civilians here, ya cucks. And there is the whole problem. You dont do 6 months at community college and automatically become some enlightened overseer. You don’t get to elevate yourselves that way. ACAB.
