🧵You thought the H-1B visa was bad? Wait until you hear about the largest guest worker program killing jobs for new American college grads—the Optional Practical Training (OPT):

• No caps
• Employers get payroll tax exemptions
• No wage requirements

H-1B DATA MEGA-THREAD 🧵

I downloaded five years of H-1B data from the US DOL website (4M+ records) and spent the day crunching data.

I went into this with an open mind, but, to be honest, I'm now *extremely* skeptical of how this program works.

Here's what I found 👇

@ScottPresler I hope marseglia and Harvie resign, but if they don’t , I hope the county remembers them and votes them out of office. What an embarrassment!

@harris_wins The 3 credit bureaus already removed medical debt from people’s credit scores.. the reason given by the credit bureaus was that medical debt was a poor indicator of whether or not a person was likely to pay debt back.

Promising ‘this’ seems empty

@RobertSBetz @Wolfe321 If the only factor in the economy is who is sitting in the White House, you might be right. However the budgets are put together by congress and there is a pattern, just not the pattern you say is happening.

@calligraphymmo I’m hoping you find something that has a good work/life balance… My wife always reminds me of when it’s time to quit by asking me.. ‘aren’t you done yet?’

We work to live.. not the other way around…

[SirCaliban @SirCaliban]

@calligraphymmo :( not cool. Everyone needs downtime. When I was younger I worked a lot of 50-60 hour weeks, but I learned that I make more mistakes when I’m tired.

@RBReich I do not believe it’s all corporate greed. The democrats told everyone that we should be earning 15 dollars an hour, because that was ‘a living wage’ companies started increasing their wages. After the wage increases, prices went up. You’re telling us that shouldn’t happen?

@FrankLaRose Perhaps if the legislature passed reasonable laws that were supported by the majority of Ohioans, then the majority wouldn’t have to pass these amendments to our constitution. Law makers are “supposed to” represent their constituents, not a minority.. not special interest..

[SirCaliban @SirCaliban]

@FrankLaRose Still voting no on this why is the guy who is supposed to oversee elections campaigning for this issue?

[SirCaliban @SirCaliban]

@FrankLaRose Hard no for me.. I will never vote for something that makes it more difficult for the people’s voice to be heard. You know, the people that elected officials are supposed to represent? Something is wrong in this state when a political party is asking for you to give up rights.

University #coding versus industry coding:

U: comment every line to make grading easier and enable partial credit

I: comment only where the code doesn’t speak for itself, such as why something needs to be done, or must be done a certain way

This CSS reset by @JoshWComeau contains a lot of thoughtful little tricks. I learned a lot just reading his justifications.
