@mythic_blu @MeruOnX No, I'm trying to explain what is offensive about this to Americans. Fine if you don't agree. Deep inside this is about social status to her, even though she may not realize it. Suburban Americans never thought about this until her group showed up.

It’s hilarious to see broke racist MAGA trolls getting triggered by a successful Indian performing a puja on a car they could never afford. Imagine thinking 'assimilation' means erasing your culture, while your only notable cultural contribution is a family legacy of opioid dependency. She’s winning; you’re just bitter.🤡😂

@mythic_blu @MeruOnX Again try to understand the issue here. She can do what she wants in India. She is not in India- this looks like Texas. What do you mean "over here"? Nobody wants to understand why she does it, who cares? Are we obligated to understand "eastern practices"? No, go east then

@SquirrelParty @MeruOnX That's not the reason behind it. And that's certainly not how people see it over here. You clearly have a wrong idea about it. Its done for blessings, protection from the evil, and stuff like that. Don't use your abrahamic mind on eastern practices.

@Sanatani_sevak See you really don't understand, that is the issue. It is the fact that she thinks this AVERAGE CAR makes her somehow special or a better person. You don't get that this is offensive in a "high trust society" as you say. Life is not a stack ranking here. You think it is

@mythic_blu @MeruOnX Because there is a materialism to it. Impoverished nations have a culture where they feel the need to show off or be stepped on. This average car makes her feel better about herself. To this group, life is a stack ranking of personal possessions.

@MeruOnX Again, more of the same from you. The point is an association of your own self worth with superficial items and image. Its like that entire region of the world has a huge self esteem problem, they feel the need to elevate themselves somehow with ridiculous boasting, cars etc

@WhateverVishal This is why your culture is a poor fit here and so many want you out. Americans don't like to show their wealth. We don't make decisions based on envy of anything. You do, because you come from an impoverished region. Too low for here

Do immigrants, especially Indians, know how badly they've worn out their welcome? There's a woman incessantly yammering in Hindi on my train and all I can think about is trebucheting her ass all the way back to Bombay.

@David_J_Bier So in other words the $100K H1B rule thwarted his plans completely. He was fine, until somebody started to question the value of these geniuses and what they were really worth.

@JBlunt1018 Oh please, anybody who has seen this in practice knows that these limitations are targeted at the brand new companies/industries. The ones already flooded with H1Bs will go but they would have gone anyway

Borjas has no idea what the fuck he’s talking about. Any logical CEO faced with an extra $100k cost per hire will do the obvious: Move the role offshore and save instantly. That’s exactly what’s happening. Offshore firms are busier than ever. Real conversations are happening right now about moving entire departments out. So what did this “policy” actually achieve? Not protecting American jobs. Exporting them. A $100k H-1B fee isn’t some clever fix. It’s a tax on hiring in America. This is the exact opposite of pro-business policy. The same party that claims to stand for free markets is now actively distorting them. Shameful.

Everyone keeps saying H-1B workers are “paid more” Here’s what the updated data actually shows: After critiques from economists like Clemens and others, George Borjas revised his paper Result? Still finds a ~15.5% wage gap Meaning H-1B workers are paid about 15% less than comparable U.S. workers Same jobs Same fields Controlled for observable factors So what exactly are we calling this…a shortage or just cheaper labor with better branding? georgeborjas.substack.com/p/revised-vers…

@Ghost8099110002 @ThomBrady5 I agree with you. And I'm a Californian. Foreign work visas being used to undermine the middle class was a big problem that took fortitude and the government delivered- for once. Not happy about Iran though.

@NandanJha271075 @SanDiegoKnight I'm sorry but one huge problem is massive amounts of Universities were created and expanded to deal with the baby boom generation years ago, and none of them ever closed when the birth rate declined.

This timeline escalated fast: Laid off on H-1B Filed B2 near the end of the 60-day grace period Found a new job Filed for an H-1B transfer Then this happened: B2 denied Grace period not recognized Out of status Final notice from USCIS: Leave the country or pay a $100,000 fee and reprocess abroad Timeline went from employed → compliant → out of status in weeks This is how the system is currently being applied reddit.com/r/h1b/s/yzktgt…

@SanDiegoKnight The fact that $100K is such a barrier for companies to pay for these geniuses says it all.

@LayoffAI For the US many of jobs replaced by AI have already been offshored. In those cases AI may cause onshoring of some roles. And Amazon departments of 50 which are now TWO as a result of AI, won't be offshored.

Amazon: 30,000 Americans laid off. 12,000 H-1B visas approved. Same window. Meta: 16,000 out. 5,000 visas in. Microsoft: 3,426 out. 5,000 visas in. AI is taking the jobs. And the ones AI doesn’t take, they’re offshoring. This is accelerating rapidly before our eyes.

Wall Street Mav@WallStreetMav

The same two things are said repeatedly by CEOs and politicians and news media. But never at the same time. 1) AI will automate millions of jobs out of existence. 2) America must bring in unlimited H-1B's. Both cannot be true. They don't make any sense together.

@ACTBrigitte Almost no companies are willing to pay the insignificant $100K H1B fee so it is dying already and the remaining H1Bs here (which did not have the fee) are on borrowed time. Their roles can be moved to India, but more likely will be replaced by AI in US - no reason to move AI

@big_duca This is absolutely correct. The cost multiplier benefit for offshore teams is almost eliminated with AI. We're talking about teams of two people replacing 50, the right way to do this is in Seattle or Sunnyvale and nowhere else really.

People aren’t gonna like this. But AI makes it a very bad move to hire overseas developers. You can make a US developer turbocharged, 10x output. And they speak fluent English and no timezone issues. AI will completely eliminate outsourced dev teams.

@daniel_w_owens Most of the freeway blight was removed in the 80s and 90s with much fanfare, if this could go it would have gone then. This could certainly be improved in some way though.

Hey SF, let's get rid of this. It's ugly as fuck. It's elite, top-tier urban blight. Removing it won't adversely affect traffic. It's dangerous (people are injured and/or die underneath the freeway every year), and it blocks benefits we need (housing, transit, green space).
