You are one smart SOB! A truly well-informed and totally aware person.
Many of the sheeple in America/The West will think you are paranoid. They have no idea of how corporatism is sinking its teeth into the public.
WHo the hell are you?
this feat puts the lie to conventional wisdom.....

...The conventional wisdom in the software industry is that a programmer is washed up by age 40 or even younger. Please note, age-discriminating managers, etc., that Mr Kent was 40 when he did this.
Supposedly, psychological studies show that by age 40 one's fluid intelligence/logical analysis skills are decreasing. Well, the greatest math puzzle of modern times, Fermat's Proof, was solved recently by a 40 year old.
The Business School twits who tout this Conventional Wisdom don't realize that temperament is what allows a person to solve these types of problems, not speed. The race goes to the patient tortoises.
Another thing they don't realize is that the people who take part in all these medical and psychological studies are usually students and people who need money. If a 40 year old needs money (usually 50-100 bucks) that badly to have stoop to being a study subject, they are usually retards or druggies/alcoholics. And these people are representing 40+ age groups in intelligence tests. Great!
In reality, the PHBs just use this artifact of the studies (age 40+ morons/alkies representing their entire age group) in order to justify age-discrimination because they are intimidated by the knowledge of the 40+ group, and they think they can better exploit younger people.
They arrange a meeting with all these high profile billionaires, and let the media in onit, keep it secret, and then you say it is NOT hype? It is the very essence of hype.
...in my place of business...unles you pay me for the right to do business here.
That's right; my ancestors made this country what it is--a place where investors want to invest their money; it's a stable country, with a great infrastructure, and the best place in the world for longterm investment--we made it that way.
And because of that, we have jobs while you do not. We American citizens are all shareholders in America, and this is where we make our living; this is our place of business, bought and paid for with the blood and sacrifice of our ancestors; we and we alone are entitled to reap the benefits deriving therefrom.
Now if want to bring something to the table so that you might be able to do business here too, then you had better bring a lot, because when you come here to do business, you take business from me
Yes, some of us AMerican citizen-shareholders DO profit when non-shareholders (foreigners) are allowed in to work; these people, unlike the majority of American citizen-shareholders, do not work to supply goods from their own brains and backs, instead they reap the fruits of others' labors---they have the capital to buy labor, or they may work in a managerial or recruiting capacity, where they have to much to gain by bringing in labor from outside. What do they gain? Lower prices for labor. The operative words here are BUSINESS and MONEY.
Those who exploit others (and that's all right--everyone has to make a living) have much money (they have the capital!) and so they BUY advertising and therefore support the mass media. Not surprisingly, teh mass media often sees things their way, and so we have it that those American citizen-shareholders who oppose the immigration of non-citizen-shareholders (foreigners) are painted as racists. It's an old story, and its name is Propaganda....
Look, son, I don't give a fat, happy damm what color your skin is, but if you are going to come into my place of business and compete with me, you need to "buy in". How about you bring a legitimate PhD with you when you come knocking on our door....
As social animals, we unconsciously make it so that those things that are desirable in life, are also attainable only by those who have the most money. That is the essence of competition. Only a percentage of those competing for anything ever actaully get it. THat is how social animals organize.
So teh American Dream is tro be in the top half/quaarter/ten percent, whatever--that is the essence of a "premium".
"Anyone with a few years experience who is working full-time on Wall Street and is not in management is a fool, who usually has what I call a "martyr complex", or an H1-B, who is basically an indentured servant for the company."
Really? That is certainly some interesting arithmetic you use! The ratio of management to those they manage must be very close to 1:1, according to you, since all those engineers are moving into management; or at least that must be implied from your statement above.
Or perhaps the percentage of "fools," "martyrs" and H1B is just very, very high?
Or perhaps you are a paid shill for the software industry? I doubt you are an engineer, or one worth a damm, considering your apparent illnumeracy.

We should begin immediately with the organ factories. I am not kidding.

perl: 18,000 to 10,000
etc etc etc...
Yes, indeed, it is a DOWNTURN. That aint real hard to see.
PLUS, we have an enormous increase in H-1B's coming in--now up to 195,000. What was it only a year ago? 65,000?
I should have my BS CS in May, but I doubt it'll do me any good. Now where did I put that law school application....
