OK. Well , since I lost my good job to some H1-B scum, I'm of course out for blood.
That's blowback. Since the 1980's started with Corporate America breaking their end of the bargain when it came to long term employment, naturally GenX adopted the attitude of returning the favor. Likewise since labor unions threw GenX under the bus with 2 tier contracts, understandably GenX basically fucked off unions and voted them off the island. Union dues from Xer paychecks were a worthless expense. IOW everyone tossed the long term view, but it started from the top.
With Rag's program of shutting down the H1-B mill, those places would have problems right? As such:
1. Either shape up and hire US citizens.
2. Offshore and get nailed by Rag's excise tax on all offshoring entities.
Those sounds like human trafficking clients. Obviously, those should be shut down as human rights abusers.
Quite so. But both are evil.
Yeah, I like the term Silicone Valley. It's the land of milk and honey for unicorns. Unicorn ranches are where hedge fund money goes to die.
In the interest of not wanting illegal aliens from the Southern border, I don't de facto ones from the Great White North either. I don't want the ones from India either [the ones who replaced me]. They need a 1 way airline ticket back to Mumbai. And... call centers need a phone tariff of say $15/hour, which matches the desire for a $15/hr minimum wage.
When it comes to illegal aliens, Rags is color blind and an equal opportunity shipper off-er
After all, autarky uber alles.

Quote:Places like that tend to be sweat shops and are not the exciting sexy places according to the average Silicon Valley maven.

Quote:BTW - "Silicone Valley" is 300 miles south of here (AKA The San Fernando Valley, most of it is inside LA city limits). It's where they shoot porno and house many immigrants in cheap dingbat style apartment blocks.

Quote:Totally different animal from Silicon Valley.
Quite so. But both are evil.
Quote:An aside. I count myself among the original few hundred people who used the term Silicon Valley. I'm a 3rd generation techie, my Dad worked at one of the famous early semiconductor firms, back when most of them were concentrated in San Mateo County and the northwestern corner of Santa Clara County - San Jose was mostly still prune plum orchards back then.

Quote: Oh also, two of my H1B hires were Canucks ... EH!!!! Good day .... hosers!
