    The IT sector is disproportionately Indian, and Musk is a strong supporter of outsourcing H1B visa employees.

      H1B visa employees is a fancy way of saying slaves since they can be deported if they quit and don’t get a new job.

        That is extremely condescending toward H1B holders. And I’m not a proponent of the program.

        Id challenge you to say that statement to an HB colleague and see how they take it.

          If I could either work for 30k at home or do a 140k job abroad for 80k I would willingly get ripped off and exploited. It doesn’t make it less bullshit that we don’t offer such talented folks citizenship and a fair wage.

      Imagine calling 9-1-1 and getting sent to an Indian call center to handle your call. This is a boring dystopia.

      i wonder if its also true for biotech, i see a large number of listings asking for the same visas. i know indians also go into medical, and biotech too. but thier main source would be tech.
