- ProllyInfamous 1y agoDoesn't seem fair to the citizens that live here. We should be taxing companies that have international leverage more. ¢¢ –– Citizen, former Data Center Electrician (still blue collar — I'll eagerly do the work if paid citizen-wages!)
- roncesvalles 1y ago>I'll eagerly do the work if paid citizen-wages What was the wage you were last offered?
- ProllyInfamous 1y agoIBEW - so prevailing wages. Citizenship is a requirement for us blue collar union hacks. So is proper compensation (we're not tech gods but we eat good, too, and clearly aren't disposable==benefits/pension).
- bialpio 1y agoI hope your next potential employer rescinds the job offer 2 days before your start date, maybe that will make it clear to you why some of us think this is unfair.
- ProllyInfamous 1y agoIt's happened — IBEW is thrive/perish — most of us grunts can handle a change in plans/jobs because we've always had to. Welcome to reality, and welcome back home.
- seadan83 1y agoI think a bigger tax on small companies. I worked on one where the co-founder was an h1b. That company grew to employ about a thousand people. It's job creation.. that would not have happened when the company was young with this tax. Meanwhile, big tech is sitting on piles of money. I think startups and scale ups will suffer a lot here.
