If I start a Spotify favorites thread, will I remember to return to it to post tunes? Honestly, sometimes X is like trying to manage a blockchain of cats.

Our guests have become ungrateful and it’s time for them to go back home. ALL of them - From Indian H-1B’s to Muslim refugees.

Silicon Valley and Wall Street vulture capitalists excel at avoiding skilled middle management and hiring the exact cog they need for the moment utterly destroying any sustainable business model.

This is so predictable. I know a group being absorbed into india- engineering group - non software. Many of them used to work for me. They hide and cover up - when it got to a point they could no longer hide the quality issues. . . They transferred quality offshore to fake it. I have a front row seat to a multi million dollar division of a massive company being slain by incompetence. At this point all the Americans can figure is they are just trying to get one more paycheck out of the project before everything collapses. It all started with Indians getting into leadership, then Indians getting onto the board, then Indians starting up a small Center in India. Where they started to offshore position after position without having the adequate talent. It's so obvious to the American engineers the entire operation is kickbacks. This is every company. This is the definition of intellectual bankruptcy.

Should be illegal for foreigners working in the U.S. to hire foreigners. The privilege of working in the U.S. should be to the explicit benefit of American workers.

My green card application took ~18 months and I worked in the Bay Area the entire time. This would have sent me back to the UK before I was able to start a company or a fund. It's really damaging.
USCIS@USCIS

USCIS is applying long-standing law and prior court decisions to require certain aliens with temporary visas who decide they want to permanently reside in the U.S. to return to their home countries to apply for permanent visas through the @StateDept. We're returning to the original intent of the law to ensure aliens navigate our nation’s immigration system properly. Here’s what you should know: uscis.gov/newsroom/news-…

@TSMERDIST We let them in, with good faith, and were betrayed. We owe them nothing. Take it up with the oligarchs.

This is exactly what many legal immigrants have been trying to explain. Forcing students, researchers, physicians, engineers, entrepreneurs, and workers to leave the United States during green card processing would create enormous instability for people who already followed every legal rule and built lives here in good faith. Combined with the #USCISpause, these policies are already causing job loss, frozen work authorization, family separation, financial hardship, and deep uncertainty for countless lawful immigrants contributing to America’s economy, universities, hospitals, and research institutions. A strong immigration system should attract and retain talent, not push it away. @SecRubio @USCISJoe @SecMullinDHS @SenGaryPeters @RandPaul #LiftTheHold

I strongly oppose the Trump administration’s disruptive decision to require many students, temporary visa holders, and other individuals seeking green cards to leave the United States and return to their home countries while their applications are processed. This policy creates unnecessary fear and uncertainty for families, workers, and employers who are following the law. The Administration disregards the fact that many individuals seeking permanent residency are here legally and waiting for their cases to move through an already backlogged immigration system. America has long benefited from attracting top researchers, doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs, and innovators through our legal immigration system and worker visa programs. Forcing these individuals to leave the United States during the green card process will deprive our country of their innovation, their tax contributions, and the many ways they strengthen our economy and communities. As the son of Indian immigrants, I know firsthand that our nation is strengthened by people who come here legally, work hard, and contribute to our communities. We should be reducing processing delays and modernizing our immigration system, not creating additional barriers for people who are following the rules. I support legal challenges to this policy and expect the courts to halt its implementation.

@icbkr @grok As far as I’m concerned - if employers do layoffs and choose not to rescind them, they should be forced to pay laid off employees for the duration of the term.

Picture this you’re in your mid-40s, you’ve lived the grind for 10+ years at a Big Tech company. When you started there, a decade ago, you were forced to sign their ‘loyalty’ non-compete. You thought NBD, you were planning on working there until you retired. Then boom, the 2026 layoffs hit and your name was on the list. As a condolence they hand you 3 months of severance pay like it’s a golden parachute and blame AI. And that non-compete? Yes, it’s still binding, you can’t work in tech for 1-2 years or risk getting sued. Meanwhile they immediately replace you with an H-1B worker chained to the same company by his visa, he’s much cheaper because he’s new and at the bottom of the pay scale. Plus, they can control him easily, he knows with one wrong move he risks deportation. This is exactly what happening and it’s not capitalism. Tech is running two flavors of indentured servitude simultaneously. One of Americans starved out, losing critical earning years, while still chained to their former employer. One of foreign labor, owned outright, willing to do anything for years in hopes of catching a green card. Somehow, in America, the power balance has shifted fully to the oligarchy and labor has been reduced to being powerless pawns. Congress must ban non-competes and fix the visa scam NOW.

How to ensure that many immigrants who have enriched our nation — including engineers, physicians, tech folks, educators— will simply give up and go to more welcoming places.
The Wall Street Journal@WSJ

Most green-card applicants will need to go abroad to apply for permanent residency at an American consulate, rather than filing from within the U.S. as they do now, the Trump administration announced Friday. on.wsj.com/43pxJcg

Just tried to call a local hotel, not a chain. After a long hold, someone in India answers. Tells me I need to call the hotel front desk. Gives me the number I just called. Our country can’t survive without this, you see.

I bet there’s a word for the time spent waiting in limbo for the amex lounge to admit you. The space between “there was no traffic so we’re early” and “can i get you more coffee?” Probably a Japanese or Yiddish word.
