US needs H-1B visas for tech race with China, says key Democrat who is ‘glad’ Trump agrees​


Raja Krishnamoorthi, the top Democrat on the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, has strongly backed boosting the US position in critical and emerging technologies, including quantum computing.

We need to dead this h1b nonsense.


America has the population and infrastructure to generate more than enough tech grads.

US Companies just don't want to pay these higher tech wages. And there is enough talent globally where they don't have to anymore. Every year the amount of US based tech workers shrinks at my company.

More American tech workers will probably start relocating overseas to stay employed. Federal contractors have been doing this for years working for Defense Contractors.

Exactly. Employers are using the lie that they can't find talent when the truth is, they don't want to pay for talent, they want cheap labor :camby: :camby: :camby: :camby:

:skip: these tech bros. Capitalism is only beneficial when it's working for them.

After that Silicon Valley Bank depositor bail out anyone taking their 'libertarian' view of capitalism seriously is just a deluded fanboy or ideologue. Elon is hoovering up government money as we speak.

1 in 4 programming jobs have vanished. What happened?​


More than a quarter of all computer programming jobs have vanished in the past two years, the worst downturn that industry has ever seen. Things are sufficiently abysmal that computer programming ranks among 10 hardest-hit occupations of 420-plus jobs for which we have data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Learning to code was supposed to save millions of would-have-been liberal arts majors. But today there are fewer programmers in the United States than at any point since 1980. That’s a 45-year period in which America’s total workforce has grown by about 75 percent! It’s so long ago that millennials hadn’t been invented, the oldest Gen Xers were barely in high school, and even many boomers were too young for their first real coding jobs.

"would be liberal arts majors" aka drowning in debt with no job.

Only untouchable role seems being a Doctor but even that may get shaky the way the country is going
