The whole "this is crazy" bit is a matter of opinion only, you understand that, yes?
What tech companies are so upset about is being cut off from their cheap source of exploitable labor. The rest of the huffing and puffing is just a smokescreen to make you forget what they are guilty of.
- nickthemagicman 10y agoIts crazy on a practical level because those tech companies aren't going to lose their cheap source of exploitable Labor..they'll figure a way around it. it's crazy because the country is going to be losing out on so much tax money from these countries Outsourcing and moving their operations overseas or to Canada.
- throwanem 10y ago> those tech companies aren't going to lose their cheap source of exploitable Labor..they'll figure a way around it That's pretty much what we're looking at right here, don't you think?
- nickthemagicman 10y agoIt seems unavoidable. Am I wrong?
- cronjobber 10y agoYes, it's funny how the wage slaves cheer along with their billionaire idols. Mixture of the lottery player's hope of also winning the jackpot, and fear of losing the job they realistically must expect to be chained to instead (at least until they hit 39, that is.)
- mercurysmessage 10y agoAre they actually paying foreign nationals less? As far as I can tell, it's just a talking point about H1B, compared to "expensive" US talent. Google, Apple and the like seem to pay very high wages to all employees.
