This is definitely the kind of thing that makes people love AI and want to welcome data centers into their communities.

There are four levels to H1B
The top are Michael Jordan type talents.
The rest are taking jobs Americans can do or should be trained to do.
It should be noted that Indian companies and subsidiaries are paying imported workers substantially less than American counterparts.

The US Ponzi Scheme

📈 1. Asset Price Inflation Favors the Wealthy
The Federal Reserve lowers interest rates and injects liquidity to "stimulate the economy"—but this mostly inflates asset prices (stocks, real estate).

The wealthy own the vast majority of these assets. According to the Federal Reserve, the top 10% of Americans own:
~89% of stocks
~70% of real estate equity

When asset prices rise, the rich get richer. Wages, meanwhile, stagnate.

💸 2. Debt-Driven Growth & Future Obligations

The system relies on constant credit expansion—more borrowing to keep GDP and markets growing.

This resembles a Ponzi dynamic: newer participants (young workers, new taxpayers) are needed to fund promises made to earlier ones (retirees, creditors, bondholders).
Without perpetual growth, the whole thing risks collapse (see: pension insolvency, Social Security trust fund depletion, rising federal interest payments).

🏦 3. Too Big to Fail = Socialism for the Rich

In 2008 and 2020, trillions were created to bail out banks and corporations.

Meanwhile, average Americans got job losses, foreclosures, or $1,200 checks.
Losses are socialized, gains are privatized. That’s not capitalism—it’s financial feudalism.

🔄 4. Inflation as a Hidden Tax

Inflation (often driven by loose monetary policy) erodes purchasing power for those earning wages.

But those holding hard assets (real estate, equities, commodities) are often insulated or benefit.
Workers and savers lose; debtors and investors win. Guess who’s heavily invested and heavily levered? The rich.

📊 5. Tax Policy & Regulatory Arbitrage

Carried interest loopholes, capital gains tax rates, and corporate tax havens make it easy for the wealthy to pay effective tax rates lower than the middle class.

IRS audit rates are higher for the poor than billionaires with teams of lawyers.
Lobbying ensures the system never truly reforms.

[Rutger Bregman @rutgerbregman]

We knew it, but seeing the data laid out – it's still shocking: higher taxes for most, deep cuts to Medicaid & SNAP—all to fund tax breaks for the top 1%.

It's difficult to fully grasp the scale of the con being perpetrated on Americans right now by the Trump administration.

@_MLFootball @TickPick @Xommanders @EBJunkies Love me some skewed stats to create a narrative. Tracked events tab shows 6922 tickets for sale at its peak. This means only about 1400 tickets were bought. Which means based The Linc’s capacity that equates to about 2% if and only if all tickets bought are actually WSH fans 😂

I originally came to America on an H-1B visa to work in tech.

You know the real reason tech companies love foreign hires?

They practically own them, and can underpay them accordingly.

It has nothing to do with culture, and everything to do with cost.
