Thank you for pointing this out. Not two weeks ago I was "hired" by a firm to do some consulting for them, during which time they extracted data on "how" to solve a problem (NLP related) and then flew in some dude form India to code the solution. I made a decent wage. For two days. He undoubtedly was a faste progrmmer than me, but fuck if we both didn't get used. I live in a state that thinks the word union means that General Sherman is fixing to burn down the capital, so there's little to no recourse. And I am hesitant about even writing this given how shadily I was treated. Needless to say, there are many reasons why DT was elected, but one of the primary ones is because he promised a thousand times if he promised once that he would slow the tide of incoming labor to shore up the lessening of wage depreciation. I also love how ten years ago the Department of Labor "projected" that STEM career growth would continue unabated for many years, and yet now I can't find a job writing code for literally anyone beyond the example I mentioned earlier. If this is the future, we are completely and totally fucked. Save your pennies folks, you're going to need the copper. Oh, and don't forget to make sure to keep taxes off the rich and the jobs outsourced so the poor Americasn can take it in the ass until the next "public servant" gets elected and doesn't do what they said they would. Meanwhile, I'll be teaching 7 year olds to code hello world (if I am ever lucky enough to actually get a GD job that isn't flipping burgers or pouring sweet fucking tea) while pining for the research position I spent more than three decades in school to be smart enough to do. God Bless America, and all of the nations "she" serves.
