To the unspeakable delight of the Progressive Left, a spear has been thrust deep into the innards of the MAGA coalition, ripping it to shreds well before Donald Trump’s Second Inauguration!
Just kidding. Two groups of adults had a three-day discussion about an issue that needed airing, and both sides have agreed that restoring the intent of the H1B visa, and eliminating the manifest misuse of the program should pretty much do the trick. Sorry to disappoint you AGAIN, Lefties.
Listen here on Soundcloud:
To paraphrase the great Rorschart from “The Watchmen”
and all the
whoresjournalists and politicians will look up and shout ‘THIS WILL DIVIDE AND FINISH THE MAGA MOVEMENT!’…and I’ll look down and whisper ‘No.”I posted something of a rebuttal to this R/A segment, and it is sitting in a limbo called “awaiting for approval” while comments posted a day after it have cleared. Why is that?
The real issue with the current state of the H1B system is abuse by corporations in the IT space for the last couple decades. There is a specific visa for “exceptional people”, O-1 I believe. And we can even keep H1B, but the issue is that it’s rigged up in such a way that companies in the US swap entire departments with new H1B workers. I would wager that the majority of IT, networking, and project management workers in Fortune 500 companies are now H1B, largely from India. These large corporations can enjoy the fleet of immigration lawyers required that… Read more »
In the software industry H-1B resources are virtually all from India. I haver known of a few visa holders from other countries, but it was not H-1B. H-1B is designed not for highly qualified employees. It’s to fill holes where an employer can’t find qualified people. There are qualified people but you can hire an H-1B worker for much less. There are other visas for your Einstein’s and truly exceptional workers. H-1B is for lowering labor cost, not improving quality. India has a vastly different culture. There is prolific sexism (typically Indian men toward Indian women), classism (the caste system… Read more »
“I want to see Republicans react sensibly …” -Scott Ott Well Scott, that’s your problem right there. Republicans are not particularly sensible, they just happen to be the party that’s most on our side. Getting Republicans, in and out of government, to understand the nuances and complexities of any given situation sharply resembles herding cats. Eventually, as per Bill’s position in this discussion, the American People will come to realize what best serves their own interests. Because America is essentially populated with a center-Right political majority. It would be dandy if the Republican Party and all those who consider themselves… Read more »
two things. #1 – Ads on paying members feeds??
#2 – several times when I hit skip ad button the feed ends in middle of show.
No ads on my browsers. If I were to guess, I’d bet you are using IE, Edge, Bing, or (!! yikes !!) Chrome (huge security risk). I don’t know to much about Apple browsers (Safari or Opera?), but usually, you can get an ad blocker in browser settings/extensions. However, a MUCH better move is to switch to MUCH more secure browsers like Brave (aggressive ad blocking), DuckDuckGo, FireFox or Avast (ad free) — all have ad blocker extensions. I use DuckDuck & Brave. Download. Install. Transfer links. Make default. Easy.
Kurt — A lot of people have commented on ads being served on video content playing on this site. This site is NOT serving ads. I have several ad blockers and script blockers and they are all turned off on this site because they’re not needed. I’ve checked this on three different browsers; Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and MS Edge. No ads on any of them. I’m getting a clean, direct feed from BillWhittle.com when I’m logged in here as a member and there are zero ads being served or injected from this site. If you’re seeing ads, its something… Read more »
I use Kindle Fire Silk browser, and get ads rarely. I also have Nord VPN on. It’s so rare, and that I have issues with Chrome, that I ignore them.
There are ad blocking browsers that you can get on your Kindle Fire. I use AdBlocker by Rocketsheild but there are others. It’s a Chrome based browser. That one is available on the Amazon app store so it’s sanctioned and approved for Amazon devices. Which are just Android OSs rebranded. Silk is just Google Chrome rebranded, or more likely Chromium which is the open source browser Chrome is derived from. I’m not privy to Amazon’s internal software development but I know it’s either Chrome or a Chromium distro. The rest of this is about browsers in general. Read it or… Read more »
Thanx for the info!! I usually link from the email notice that comes. LEt me go to billwhittel.com thru duckduckgo and see if it makes a difference! Perhaps I will use the email as notice but go to site thru browser.
Ta-dah!! That fixed the issue. Not sure what I was going thru linking from email, but going straight from my duckduckgo browser cured all issues. Thanx, brothers!!! Let’s ALL have a great 2025!!
DuckDuckGo is an ad blocking browser so whatever is injecting those ads may still be living on your device or computer. There are no ads here behind the paywall so DDG is just masking yours by filtering out the ads before you see ’em. If you see ads in other venues not on DDG then you still have the same problem. However … If you are using something like a pad or tablet (iPad, Kindle Fire, etc.) then it’s probably just the default browser that is doing that. When you click a link in an email it launches the default… Read more »
Thanks for the info. But….
When I go to the App store on my Kindle, Adblocker is not available. Neither is Duckduckgo.
Still working on it. I don’t give up easily.
In medicine, the H1B visa helped get foreign medical graduates to come fill in holes in healthcare availability. But, as the reimbursement for services has gone down, they don’t come over any more, doing better staying home.
America needs smart people, but we’ve never been the smartest people on earth. The reason we’ve done so well as a country is our freedom and the free markets, property rights and peace.
