Morris Dees and $PLC certified deplorable, David North, on whether
Donald Trump regrets slow-walking John Miano's lawsuit to end the
Cheap Labor Lobby's extra-legal OPT scab worker import program: <URL:

| The employers of the smaller -- and much better paid -- of these two
| groups, and many of the OPT workers themselves, do not have to pay
| into the Social Security, Medicare, and federal unemployment
| insurance trust funds. Were these jobs held by citizen workers, they
| and their employers would pay the usual payroll taxes. (The OPT
| program defines these alumni workers as students, thus protecting
| them and their employers from the usual deductions.)
North's blog dovetails well with Diamond Naga Siu's reporting for
Business Insider on Jeff Bezos' thirst for younger and cheaper: <URL:

| People more than 12 months out of school won't qualify anymore
| for the lowest software development engineering position, called
| SDE-1. This means hiring from student programs is now an even higher
| priority.
| The change is "global and Amazon-wide," reports Insider's ace
| Amazon correspondent Eugene Kim. Plus, exceptions require approval
| of VPs or higher.
| It's possibly a cost-cutting method for the infamously frugal
| company. This pivot targets a younger and more affordable group of
| workers. And it comes in the middle of a major restructuring of the
| company.
Does Susie Wiles fear Ken Griffin and Lachlan Murdoch will allow Ron
DeSantis to outflank Trump from the right on the National Question by campaigning against Big .EDU presidents and deans leasing American
classroom seats and laboratory stools to the 8+B globe's top two
quintiles?
