It has been a scam, demolished positions for American workers, and led to the enshitification of platforms and products. That’s just the beginning of the plague it is.
I know this may be a controversial opinion, but I believe it with all my heart:
The H-1B, F-1, and M-1 visa programs should all be paused for at least 10 years, or abolished altogether.
A foreign employee should be a rarity, not a cost saving mechanism.
@Roku joins the total enshittification gang with its trash update. User customizations, gone. UI is terrible, everything is high-friction, and there are more ads. This is for a device I pay for.
It's hard to name a single thing in tech that hasn't gotten markedly worse in nearly every way the last five years. Windows. Mac. Linux. iOS. Google. Amazon. Netflix.
In 125 years we went from hanging horse thieves to “sorry this illegal alien r4ped and killed your daughter, but his IQ is too low to stand trial or know right from wrong.”
Microsoft continues to lay off thousands of American employees, while simultaneously applying for thousands of H-1B visas.
This is absurd and should be illegal.
It's actually insane that US corporations can fire Americans and hire foreigners at a reduced price. That being legal is the biggest sign that our politicians all need to be replaced.
Never forget that @CBSNews@NBCNews@WSJ@HarvardHealth@CNN and every major news and health network told us that if you suggested covid leaked from a lab, you were sharing dangerous misinformation and deserved to be eliminated from civil discourse.

I’m asking you clearly. What are you going to do about this? H1B visas need to stop and be taken away. What’s next? This. Houston and DFW are going downhill fast.
It's not simply that JPMorgan, a legacy corporation with the highest standards, hired an obese Latina who should have been collecting welfare (or garbage) to be their DEI executive and paid her ~300k a year for the privilege, only to be forced to fire her later when they were humiliated by a viral video
It's that women like this are everywhere. They are administrators, judges, heads of state. They running western society. You have to understand this in order to understand anything else.
Let me be clear. I don’t need a full video of what went down at the HEB between the nurse and the Muslims. If that nurse walked straight up to them, unprovoked, and said, “Get the hell out.” I support that. 100% and we should all do the same thing.
If studios want to make money off these films again, it’s a really simple path. I’ll take my wife to a superhero movie, but she and her friends would never go on their own.
There are two times a woman-led superhero movie has been a box-office hit:
1. Wonder Woman. The character was established in “Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice” and her solo movie released ahead of the “Justice League” crossover movie.
2. Captain Marvel. The movie was teased in the post-credits scene for “Avengers: Infinity War” and her movie came between that and “Avengers: Endgame.”
The sequels to Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel, which were not propped up by major crossover films, did poorly. And the small, disappointing audiences for both of those sequels were 65 percent male.
Every superhero movie, including female-led ones, has a predominantly male audience. The movie must be marketed to men to overcome the presumption that the film isn’t for them. Because men might bring their girlfriends to the female superhero movie, but women aren’t going to show up to this without men.
And just about the worst thing you could say while promoting a girlboss superhero movie that has to appeal to a skeptical male audience is: “This is the gayest superhero movie ever.” Nobody is going to see this.
