Nearly half of all H‑1B visas went through outsourcing firms. -"In all, nearly half the H-1Bs in Bloomberg’s analysis went to outsourcing or staffing companies." (2024) What was supposed to bring in the best talent… turned into a backdoor for offshoring.

Funny story: Ever click the button to cancel your order in Walmart, but it didn't work and you got the item anyway? Well one Indian engineering team programmed that button, and another Indian engineering team forgot link APIs to make that button work for third party orders. So

Every man my age has a ton of hobbies that are purely hypothetical. I haven't played a proper game of tennis in 2 years. I am still a tennis player. I haven't played a wargame for 4.5 years. I am still a wargamer. I haven't watched a college football game from start to

The British Diversity Gulag is now doing the same thing as the actual Soviet gulags: “Your punishment for having a knife when they searched you would be very different from the thief’s. For him to have a knife was mere misbehavior, tradition, he didn’t know any better. But for

We're seeing a real world annihilation of jobs in exchange for theoretical benefits. Kind of reminds me of what happened in the Heartland with the offshoring of factory jobs. Same theories, same type of greedy bastards, same disastrous real world results. 5/

Either good people hurt bad people, or bad people hurt good people. These are your two options. For 75 years, liberals have been crying out "I don't want anybody to hurt anybody!" But that is not an option. That is not a thing that can happen. If you stop good people from

US Grads, who historically would learn on the job, cannot get the experience to grow a career from, because Indian frauds with no experience say they have 'years' of experience, cheat on tests and fake credentials -- completely locking out American grads from THEIR FUTURES, while

ok, I'm about to make everyone angry I had a friend who was an MK in Uganda. She noted that, in order to get very normal things done, you bribe people in Uganda. Everyone. Cops, soldiers, politicians, everyone expects a bribe. Seems crass but that is how it works. I wonder if
