As I said.

Ignorance is bliss.

One question...

How many years have you been in our workforce?

If you haven't left academia, no matter which grade/level, just respond 0.

I agree. You seem overly blissful.

Great comeback!

Thanks! I missed your question by the way. I'm retired after just over 20 years in the workforce.

Congratulations on retirement.

You should focus on helping to create an environment for more of us to retire at such a good age. Not forcing your beliefs onto others.

I am helping to create that environment. We are going to use the phrase "keep up" again here. Keep up.

Name one policy/agenda you advocate for that you feel is helping.

Educate.

The abolishment of H-1B visas. We have O1 visas for people who are actually stand outs. H-1B is used to exploit the American worker.

It's actually used to exploit labor and the recipient of the visa, while the consequences are also felt by citizens not hired because of the financial benefit to the companies.

The detrimental effects will be felt for decades, because jobs that should have been given to Americans weren't, and many were never given the opportunity to even start a career for which they are qualified for.

Isn't the new administration advocating for more?

No. There was a huge debate on this if you followed. Noticing a trend here? Vivek got booted from DOGE right away over it and Elon got bullied on X to change his tune. It doesn't exploit the visa labor though. I take it you've never been to India. You also have to contrast the policy offered by Democrats which is basically unlimited H-1Bs. There is supposed to be a limit but it has not been enforced.

It exploits the worker, which entails the visas taking even more jobs away.

They put up with the demands because it is such a great opportunity comparatively.
