Just as he justifies it by saying it improves the lives and gives opportunities to the people of the third world, the slave traders of two centuries earlier claimed also that their dirty business spared the lives of their captive slaves from the violence in their countries of origin.
What a putz. Gates lays off American workers and replaces them with immigrants. What’s the matter Bill, aren’t all your billions enough for you?
If these people were being admitted to the EXCLUSION of poorly educated, low-potential future Democrat low-information voters, then I would say, I am all for it.
But what we are doing, with this importation of the best and brightest from foreign sources, we are starving these other countries, essentially subjecting them to a “brain drain”. While there may be greater economic opportunities in the US, or at least in the past there used to be, the free market exchange of ideas and technology benefits everybody, no matter where it evolves in the world.
Jeff Sessions is my #1 choice for president.
Hold the phone.
I do not know the.particulars here.
But what jobs in the US are being lost? I seriously doubt 18k ENGINEERS are losing jobs. If so, calling out about STEM is moot.
If Americans cannot or will not take these jobs, then so be it. The companies are looking for some design talent.
Again, we’re not talking about assembly workers.
Gates is a lying hypocrite. Lay off Americans and demand that the Kenyan import more foreign workers. I don’t get it. OR MAYBE I DO.
Jeff Sessions - one of the few leaders on Capital Hill
(either party).
Bill Gates is the founder of Microsoft, but he no longer runs the company. This is like blaming George Bush for all of the problems that the Administration is having.
Steve Balmer is running Microsoft and he has 2 billion dollars of walking around money he’s willing to pay the Sterlings for the LA Clippers.
I had a well thought out response for this, and then decided to distill it down to this: expect microsoft to buy out a software company somewhere in India or Asia, and use that to re-incorporate in that country. Expect all of the
other major software companies to follow suit, if they want to compete, or even survive for that matter. Asia, china, and India are now the top producers of the world, and the US has been relegated to second-world status, like europe, the UK, and other former superpowers of their time.
Bill Gates is LYING to Congress about a lack of skilled workers.
And he’s p!ssing in my cornflakes when he does so by lowering the wages for the entire industry.
Another Billion Dollar Marxist who can never have too much.
Crony Communism works for the Politburo. Orwell knew this.
