Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Indian consulting company middlemen are pocketing half of the pay of h1bs

Capitalism can only survive in a globalized economy.

Ya, sure .... Because the last four years Trump was busy authorizing loads and loads of H1B's from India at 250 dollars a head. Oh wait, that was Biden. The only thing Trump did wrong was not making the 100,000 retroactive and not making the 100,000 applicable to the renewal.

Solar panel companies are laying off electricians in the thousands. Thousands of farmers are going under. The experiment is not working for Americans first.

@bg nice try but DT had nothing to do with speculative stock market. They go way up and way down for each president. Sad truth. No real connection other than when DT threatens tariffs , they go way down and then he TACOs again and they go way way up.

He tanked the economy in 2000 and yet people thought “ let’s do this again”.
The economy is not in a good place at all.

He made my retirement funds the greatest it's ever been and set me up to walk away from Toxic T any time I want to.

@aj the Low IQ comment should be given to people who voted for a man who said he’d solve things “on Day One”,
He tanked the economy in 2000 and yet people thought “ let’s do this again”.
The economy is not in a good place at all. Yet he managed to fool voters into believing he could solve all their problems. He’s dishonest

Takes time to turn the ship around. I know we are in corporate America and think everything is this quarter vs next (very short term thinking, non innovative), but it really does take time. We didn’t get here overnight. Jobs don’t just magically appear the next day. You have to be low IQ to not understand that. Takes time to wind down overseas operations and replace that domestically. Yes it hurts, we all feel it every time we buy anything, but this needs to happen. It needs to cost the companies too much to offshore so we can start making it here.

@a4

Misguided, the measures are going after the corporations and businesses that have been corrupting the system, but because this specific new measure is about employment of cheap labor from other parts of the world, it inevitably affects people.

@a3 misguided you need to go after the employers that hire in the thousands not the individuals.

@OP

Just curious... what is your point exactly?

"Stop talking about these poor people from India, they are just trying to survive, keep giving away American jobs to them, they are just victims, they are not the problem, poor people, just stop, shut up"?

Is that your narrative?

It's not certainly ours. We are precisely saying that things are broken, corporate America stopped having our back, things need to get fixed and AMERICANS NEED TO COME FIRST IN AMERICA. We wish people from India well, they need to go and work with MODI to make India work for themselves. They have been flooding the US, Canada, UK, Emirates, Germany, you name it, taking jobs from everyone else. Well, that was fine then, but not anymore, we need the jobs for ourselves and our communities.
