The one thing Silicon Valley loves about Trump ;)

• meri_dian 9y ago
  When protectionism affects them, they empathize with Trump's agenda, but anyone else who supports protectionism is called names and ridiculed. "Those damn hicks, they're so selfish and backwards, and quite possibly racist... ...ah yes but let's cut down on the foreign IT workers bringing down my own salary"

  Why would people in Silicon Valley care about this change? Pretty much every software developer in SV makes over 90k.

    Exactly. Because they make over 90k, they might now have a chance to hire skilled foreigners under H1B for the same wage. Instead, the consultancy companies would have to raise their wages by 30k if they wanted to keep on submitting tens of thousands of H1B applications.
