And yet Suckerberg wants to vastly expand H-1b visas to import their replacements.

Yeah, it’s that simple.

Are they going to chemically raise their IQ somehow?

You can't code if you can't read.

They have employment for life. With rare exceptions like mass layoffs, certain employees are not fired no matter what.

I think there are a couple of good points here.
One, a self-avowed communist is embracing capitalism.
Two, if he can get black kids interested in education, kudos.
Maybe they can get rid of the stigma of black kids studying who are then accused of acting white. Its not acting white. Its doing what works.
I wish him success.

I hope he pours ALL of this time into this and spends $100 million doing it.
I think after he finishes tearing his hair out he’s going to learn a very, very good lesson.

It would sure be one way of getting around the “acting white” canard.
