Yeah those J1 visas must go too.

Not interested in helping them. Interested in ending a system that is not working out well for Americans.

I don't care about the restaurant. If I care so much about the ramen I will either pay more or make it at home.

Is the salary public or also the stock options?

Short time means 10-20 years, plenty of time for me to sort things out for myself.

That's fine. Then those countries do better, and the world becomes a better place.

Then those countries will eventually get a higher cost of living, and live the good life. That's a good outcome as well.

If the top 5% of everywhere else moves here, your children will end up in the bottom 5%.

I don't want America to be a global superpower. Too expensive. I'd rather be a quiet, happy country that just takes care of its own and chillaxes.

I tried. Not enough brains or ability.

I am an immigrant. I came here because there was too much competition where I came from.

And it's not a race thing, it's a money thing. Hong Kong Chinese don't want paltry wages so they import Filipinos. Lebanese don't want paltry wages so they import Sri Lankans. Even black South Africans don't want paltry wages to they import Zimbabweans.

Exactly. Whenever business leaders moan about 'shortages', they say "We can't find Americans to do the job" when they mean "We can't find Americans to do the job at the shitty wage we want to pay"

Most H-1B to green card conversions are never really offered as competitive jobs. The job postings are so ludicrously specific that they are targeted to that one exact person. Plus, the pay is always lower.

If we can't do the job ourselves, we shouldn't have the job.

I for one am ecstatic about this. I want less competition for my role, not more. It is hard to compete when the top 5% of every other economy comes in and crowds me out.

So let me tell you how the class action would go down. A law firm would find a few impacted folks. They would then file for a class action covering, let's say, 100K people.

WF would then agree to pay like $50M. The lawyers would take at least half of that or $25M. The 'few impacted folks' the lawyers originally found would get between 50K and 100K each. The remainder would be disbursed to nonprofits because it would be too onerous to find all defendants.

WF would get this monkey off its back. And the actual impacted folks would get zip, zilch, nada.

The crucial point is that the sister did not think she needed help. She had to be 'pushed' into it.

And that's the crux-at what point do we do for them what they can't/won't do for themselves?

Fledgling? Since when is a $5B company a 'fledgling'?

I don't live in SF, I don't visit SF. I can't afford SF.

I don't give a shit.

What is this POS?

You have poor impulse control.

I am also on namecheap and this freaks me out. can you provide more info?

They would not be part of the clan back in India, and would not be part of the clan here.

Patel is a common surname in one portion of India.

Non-Patel Hindus that are of the same caste as Patels would have a hard time getting Handshake loans. It is really tribal. Within Patels themselves, there are extensive intra-Patel clans.
