    DailyO's Shaurya Thapa 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.dailyo.in/technology/after-twitter-and-meta-mass-layoffs-amazon-is-now-firing-10000-employees-37901>
    | The bigger picture: Uncertainty looms over the tech sector at the
    | moment, with an avalanche of jobcuts at most major Silicon Valley
    | companies. While Twitter had perhaps the most arbitrary of sackings
    | (including its CEO Elon Musk firing a person on Twitter just today),
    | Meta has axed more than 11,000 people from its workforce. This has
    | also left thousands of H-1B visa holders in the US in a jeopardy, as
    | their visa conditions allow them to stay in the country without a
    | job for only 60 days.

    Will Ur M Jaddou report on how many of Jeff Bezos' NIV scab workers
    were deported?

    "They're desperately trying to turn Trump's movement into 2003
    Bush's Christian base. The reason they're doing this is that Trump's
    positions on core policy issues (immigration, trade, foreign policy)
    cross partisan and cultural dividing lines." - Second City
