There are two sides to this. I've spent my career working in an engineering discipline, and I can tell you that the quality of American-born engineering students coming out of U.S. schools leaves a lot to be desired. These schools simply aren't producing enough quality engineers to meet industry and government demands.

One of the reasons H1-B visas are popular in the tech industry is that these are among the few job skills that are truly transferable internationally. If you live in a third world country and you have an aptitude for higher education, engineering and medicine are often the only professions that have any value in your country.

Progressives are digging their own graves.
75% of US citizens will boycott these companies, work to defeat intransigent progressive politicians and duplicitous republicans, refuse to acknowledge the deception of the MSM, boycott Hollywood, demand criminal charges be filed against criminal rioters, and support President Trump as the best president in a century.

A good alternative to Ancestry is MyHeritage.com. It is an Israeli company.

75% of U.S. citizens don’t even do business with most of these companies.

So what. If you read the 1952 Immigration and Naturalization Act, you’ll find his action was perfectly legal and has been used by every president starting with Carter. More bolshevick.

Interesting to look at those names and identify the companies that actually make things, vs. just writing code that does something people value.

Always like to know what companies to avoid. Unfortunately it isn’t as easy as it used to be. Making a living requires doing business with some of these :(

That pack of gun grabbers has been on my list for a loooong time.

And they were one of the first to attack the Boy Scouts. Been on my boycott list for a long time, too.

You don’t need to do all of them.

Pick the most visible and target it. Make it the representative of all those on the list.

Then punish at will. Make it an example.

Just cancelled NetFlix, about to go cancel an auction on eBay. Taking the time to let customer service at each company know why.

The example should also have ALL information thrown out into the web: addresses, DOB, company finances, gossip, everything and anything.

You have to make an example of one to throw fear into the rest.

Somehow, I think this is fake news.

On the otherhand, all a company has to do is speak for ONE person or the possibility of one person. It's not like the company would actually be affected.
