@BuckSexton No. It. Isn’t.
Anyone who wants to dismiss concern over data centers hasn’t lived in a community where the power lines and towers have been built thru everyone’s back yards. And you sure havent had your job threatened. Saying it is China is the OP.
@ZitoSalena Maybe people just don’t like power lines and giant metal towers being erected in their back yards. Maybe worker don’t like the constant threat of being replaced. What a high horse you sit on because you are safe from these things.
@MarkLayman12@AAGDhillon@ycombinator Offshoring is so much bigger than visas. Thank you for mentioning it. Companies are building their infrastructure in India and only the senior management is staying in the USA.
@AAGDhillon@ycombinator Everyone is missing the point. COMPANIES ARE SENDING ALL THEIR JOBS TO INDIA. It isn’t a visa problem, it’s a remote worker problem. Tax then for remote workers. Make then disclose the numbers n advertising.
@libbyemmons They need to pass a law in the US that forces US companies to disclose their foreign worker numbers in advertising. People will be shocked when they see 50% of every company is now foreign workers whether thru visa or outsourcing to remote workers in other countries.
@libbyemmons Libby, you need to write about outsourcing to India. Companies are sending entire departments to India and doing build outs there. Buildings, campuses, etc. we’re talking thousands and thousands of jobs per company all going to India. Look at financial sector and insurance.
@nataliegwinters Find out how many jobs they shipped to India. That’s what most companies are doing now. All IT and engineering jobs go to India where they work remote.
@nataliegwinters We need a foreign employee disclosure law that forces companies to reveal their overseas footprint. People in the USA will be shocked.
@Deancain It’s meaningless when companies are sending millions of U.S. jobs to India where they work remote. It’s 10 times larger than visas. Probably 100 times larger.
@libsoftiktok The real issue is outsourcing US jobs to foreign countries where their people work remote. Entire departments are being sent to India. No one cares about a few hundred thousand visas. Track the number of jobs that have left our shores. It’s millions.
@SaraGonzalesTX@JDVance@JesseKellyDC This is not even the issue. The big problem is outsourcing to foreign countries like India. Entire departments are disappearing because workers in India will work remotely for far less. Every company is doing it now.
@romanhelmetguy Pass a law that makes American companies disclose the number of foreign workers they employ in their advertising. Americans need to see how bad offshoring has become.
