    see the anonymous Press Trust of India hack on whether Donald Trump
    regrets dispatching Jared and Ivanka Kushner to Silicon Valley to
    sue for peace with the likes of Mark Zuckerberg: <URL:https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/after-mass-layoffs-meta-offers-immigration-help-to-h-1b-visa-holders-3505167>
    | A Washington-based reporter Patrick Thibodeau wrote on Twitter
    | Monday that "Facebook layoffs may hit H-1B workers hard. Facebook is
    | classified as H-1B "dependent," meaning 15 per cent or more of its
    | workforce is on the visa. When visa holders lose their job, they may
    | have to leave the US if they don't quickly find a new employer
    | sponsor." Other support measures announced by Meta include severance
    | pay for 16 weeks of base pay plus two additional weeks for every
    | year of service, with no cap; coverage of healthcare cost for people
    | and their families for six months and three months of career support
    | with an external vendor, including early access to unpublished job
    | leads.

    Will Ur M Jaddou report on how many of Zuckerberg's NIV workers
    self-deport or transition to other visas?

    future if he challenges Trump, and he knows that. Not one of the 16
    major GOP candidates from 2016 has made a comeback after Trump. The
    base is with Trump and looking to vindicate 2020." - Election Wizard <URL:https://twitter.com/ElectionWiz/status/1539221806791507968>
