the fed used to hire so many people that local companies had to compete. it set the bottom wage for skilled employees, if you didn't hire them the state would and you got shit for talent if you payed less than the government. H1B visas are ruining that. we need to ban H1B employment or raise the minimum they can pay those employees to a higher wage than it would require to pay american citizens. the big oligarchs are pissed that americans expect to have the lifestyle that american infrastructure, american resources and american labor can provide, they want to turn all of that into their own personal profit, and screw over the americans.
it starts with getting money out of politics. vote for bernie sanders.
