    see KQED's Rachael Myrow on whether Kellyanne Conway worries Ron
    DeSantis will get to Donald Trump's right as a tribune against legacy
    American proles' dispossession and for their posterity by inviting the
    likes of Mike Emmons onto Ken Griffin's campaign stump: <URL:https://www.kqed.org/news/11933511/mass-bay-area-tech-layoffs-thrust-thousands-of-h-1b-visa-holders-into-frantic-job-hunt>
    | The entrepreneur saw the mass layoffs as an opportunity to start a
    | new company, Zeno, which he characterizes as TurboTax for DIY-minded
    | immigrants. "I've been on H-1B visa in the past," said Gutgutia. "So
    | I know the pain points all too well, which also inspired me to start
    | this venture."

    | Is there any chance of a fix, even a temporary one, in Washington
    | D.C.? Alcorn says she's talking about it with lawmakers and
    | professional associations. "We're putting together a coalition to
    | request executive action to temporarily extend the 60-day grace
    | period for this group of people to 180 days, so that there's more
    | time runway to stay in the country and look for other jobs, or self-
    | petition green cards or, without illegally working, create a funded
    | start-up that could then be their employer in the future."

    Will Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell allow Alejandro Mayorkas and
    Ur M Jaddou to deliver TPS for the Cheap Labor Lobby's RIF'd scab
    workers due to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' stagflation?
