JD Vance torches Microsoft for axing US jobs while doubling down on H-1B visas
Help me understand the administration angle here. I mean, obviously, it disenfranchises American workers and corps have been abusing it for 30nyears now, no news there. Is it to pressure concessions elsewhere from tech companies as the corporate-technofascist state solidifies?
Here's an article from 2022 about how when working in VC he of course invested in companies that proscribe to the visa abuse practices he's railing against: https://www.axios.com/2022/04/22/jd-vances-investments-made-use-of-h-1b-visas-he-opposes
Is the snake eating its tail here? Is the left hand slapping the right hand? TF.
As an American tech worker, this would be to my advantage. But also it flies in the face of their actions to increase H1B visas. And also I'd give up any personal benefit to just have a sane fucking government.
It isn’t to your advantage because it’s performative.
Also, the current administration’s fuckery with tariffs, deregulation push on AI and overall unpredictability and inconsistency has probably done more to hurt tech sector hiring than outsourcing.
As I said, their actions fly in the face of this sentiment, so I'm not sure what he's playing at here.
My thought was to say to other tech workers that this might sound like a bone being thrown to us but it is both disingenuous, and but a fart in the face of a raging tempest. Maybe that didn't come through as clearly as I'd have liked.
