Why do you hate capitalism and freedom?
Didn't know that colluding to keep wages low and preventing people from finding jobs is legal.

That's soshuuulism!!!! Pretty soon the US will become Venezuela!!Sounds like you want some onerous government regulations that reduce corporate profit.
I guess if you are going to down the troll path, I guess we could remove a lot of onerous government regulations imposed on businesses.Sounds like you want some onerous government regulations that reduce corporate profit.
The funny thing was it was the Liberal tech companies that do no evil.That's soshuuulism!!!! Pretty soon the US will become Venezuela!!![]()
I want American tech companies to actually exhibit the values and cultures they virtue signal on social media, and stop exploiting cheap foreign labor.Sounds like you want some onerous government regulations that reduce corporate profit.
Unfortunately companies are mostly motivated by profit, ergo there needs to be some regulation, and I'm including tech companies in that. Europe for example has stricter rules when it comes to Google and Facebook for example. Why can't the US do the same? Oh right, cries of "over regulation", "socialism", "free market", etc etc. because private corps have a lot of lobbying power in the US.The funny thing was it was the Liberal tech companies that do no evil.
That "cheap" foreign labor makes more than you.I want American tech companies to actually exhibit the values and cultures they virtue signal on social media, and stop exploiting cheap foreign labor.
H1B's here are buying two million dollar houses, luxury cars, and sending kids to $30K/year private schools, all while paying six figure tax bills to subsidize red states and farmers. I am sure they appreciate your concern though.Nope
Good for them. So they’re pissing their money away on overpriced stucco boxes, using depreciating assets as a form of status, and sending their kids to private schools because the local schools are of poor quality, or maybe they don’t want their kids mixing with certain elements. Sounds like they’ve embraced the worst qualities of being American.H1B's here are buying two million dollar houses, luxury cars, and sending kids to $30K/year private schools, all while paying six figure tax bills to subsidize red states and farmers.

"Liberal tech companies" is basically a myth. They're just companies. Somewhere back in the '90s, a couple companies left bowls of Skittles lying around the office for their employees to munch on. Somehow that small gesture got translated into "totally hip" workplaces and that got translated into "liberal".The funny thing was it was the Liberal tech companies that do no evil.
The point is they have money to piss off on those things. There is no cheap tech labor in California. It can't afford to live here.Good for them.

Sure they can. The median incomes of H1Bs and the fantastic lifestyle you’re asserting are simply not in alignment. Sure there are outliers, but the fact remains that H1Bs are a corporate bottom line maneuver to suppress wages. That’s why the proposed $130k H1B minimum wage proposal caused such an uproar.The point is they have money to piss off on those things. There is no cheap tech labor in California.

Not in Silicon Valley it didn't.Sure they can. The median incomes of H1Bs and the fantastic lifestyle you’re asserting are simply not in alignment.
