If there is truly a major shortage of skilled tech workers in the US, why did Tesla lay-off over 7,500 American workers last year — including many software developers and engineers at its factory in Austin, Texas—while applying to hire thousands of H-1B guest workers? www.foxnews.com/opinion/sen-...
SEN. BERNIE SANDERS: H1-B visas hurt one type of worker and exploit another. This mess must be fixed

Yes. We need to deal with excessive federal bureaucracy and waste.

I heard this is a good place to talk about taxing the rich, breaking up big tech, and ending Washington corruption.

Quite a few Americans like the idea of strongman rule. Essential to it is the idea that a strongman will be your strongman. He won't.
