I understand this as a business move, but given that he’s openly gay I think he’s donating to a group that wants to remove his rights.

- nyc_data_geek1 2y agoGiven that he's a CEO, he's donating to a group that wants to cut his taxes and remove all regulation from his business. Class interest above all.
- tencentshill 2y agoThis is just evidence that the real "us vs. them" isn't social, its rich vs everyone else. They don't have borders, obey laws, or pay taxes like us.
- atlgator 2y agoAll the big tech CEOs have met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago over the last two weeks and suddenly he/Elon/Vivek want to expand the H1B program after it was completely absent from the campaign. Weird coincidence?
- up-n-atom 2y agoThe obvious solution is simple if it’s a concern… Act with your wallet and stop using their services and praising them in high regard. It’s harder to distinguish which tech corps abuse the program but you can be assured open source is safe and that colocation/vps services are more than likely to be operated and run by domestic hires than major cloud ops.

- atlgator 2y agoI would not characterize Big Tech use of H1B as abuse. They use it because it provides highly qualified staff that are sticky: people can't switch firms without losing their place in line for GC, etc. So H1B has become yet another group with preference for hiring. H1Bs are hired to keep the core systems running while other DEI groups are hired for management and support functions. No surprise that white people are ticked off.
- thenaturalist 2y agoMan, this is America. Capitalism rules supreme and money has no morals. And I don't mean this in a capitalism critical way per se, rather let us face the realities of the current system.
