Google and the rest could have instituted huge training programs for Americans. Instead, they imported the most fortunate from other countries, leaving behind the least fortunate everywhere.
It's 1% Americans importing the %1 from other counties. It's the most powerful and well off united in screwing the least powerful.
You don't have to dislike immigrants to dislike corporations and politicians destroying opportunity for millions of the families that literally built America.
- aantix 9y agoI've never thought of the idea that Google/Apple/Facebook could have funded their own Dev Bootcamps.. You're right, total missed opportunity for them.
- Veratyr 9y agoI don't think the burden should be on corporations. Nearly (all?) every other developed country on earth has government subsidised or provided education. Where do you think all the immigrants are getting their degrees? Americans can even go to other countries and get educated for free (Germany I believe does this). The US needs to overhaul, hell, even nationalize, its higher education system. Don't expect corporations to educate people for you.
