After George H.W. Bush signed the 1990 immigration bill creating H-1B, it wasn’t long before stories emerged of Americans training their H-1B replacements. This is a segment from @DanRather’s show in 1995 documenting AIG replacing U.S. IT workers with cheaper H-1Bs. Nearly four decades later, Congress has done absolutely nothing to stop this.

Think about that.
We keep hearing that GDP is growing and productivity is improving.
So why are workers getting a smaller share of what the economy produces?
And now we’re entering an AI revolution that could fundamentally change the bargaining power of labor.
Before Washington celebrates another productivity boom, another record stock market, more offshoring, or an endless supply of cheaper labor, there should be one question:
