Former Disney IT Worker's Complaint To Congress: How Can You Allow This? (computerworld.com)
dcblogs writes: At a congressional hearing Thursday on the H-1B visa's impact on high-skilled workers, the first person to testify was Leo Perrero, a former Disney IT worker. He was overcome with emotion for parts of it, pausing to gather himself as he told the story of how he was replaced by a foreign visa holder. Perrero wondered how he would tell his family that "I would soon be living on unemployment." He paused. The hearing room was still as the audience waited for him to continue."Later that same day I remember very clearly going to the local church pumpkin sale and having to tell the kids that we could not buy any because my job was going over to a foreign worker," he said. But a person who made a case for access to foreign workers was Mark O'Neill, the CTO of Jackthreads, an online retailer. He argued that there is a need for more skilled workers. Competition is so fierce for developers "that my developers' starting salaries have risen by 50% in the last eight years," said O'Neill, and "senior positions command compensation that meets or exceeds even that of United States Senators."
For years we've heard people say they don't want their politicians owned by corporations. Finally, after such a long wait, along comes President Trump. He isn't owned by corporations; he owns the corporations! He doesn't say what they want him to say. He says what he thinks. He proposes ideas that none of the owned politicians have ever been willing to promote. He's willing to cut off the flow of cheap labor that has ruined the American economy. He'll consider deporting illegal aliens, rather than pandering to them. He puts Americans and America first. He's got both the Republican and Democratic parties shitting their pants!
Some people are smart enough to realize right away that he's just the kind of independent president they've always wanted, and they support him. Others, mainly lefties and liberal types, are maybe just too dumb? Instead of seeing that President Trump is exactly what they've been begging for for decades now, they foam at the mouth and mislabel him as a "racist" or "crazy". Their illogical behavior is illogical!
Bwahahaha, America, land of the pussy, home of the coward.
You can't compete with conditions in the civillised world asshole.
So your definition of a free market is a market where a company is restricted from hireling the best person for the job?
Troll is not a replacement for I disagree.
