• MEDIA: Did the Indian Body-Shops Not Do layoffs, or Did They Keep Them

    Morris Dees and $PLC certified deplorable, David North, 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://cis.org/North/Did-Indian-BodyShops-Not-Do-layoffs-or-Did-They-Keep-Them-Secret>
    | A recently released Economic Policy Institute (EPI) report may show
    | something surprising: The big U.S. high-tech firms are the ones that
    | are laying off workers, (H-1Bs and citizens) and not the India-based
    | labor brokers.
    |
    | Or is this an illusion?
    |
    | Of the top 30 H-1B employers, EPI counts 13 of them as using the
    | "outsourcing/offshoring business model" (led by Infosys, Tata, and
    | Cognizant) and having a total of 3,900 layoffs in 2022 and the first
    | quarter of this year; on the other hand, the 17 firms that do not
    | meet that description, led by Amazon, Google, and Meta (once
    | Facebook), laid off more than 80,000 workers in the same period.

    Does Susie Wiles fear that Ken Griffin and Lachlan Murdoch will allow
    Ron DeSantis to outflank Trump from the right on the National Question
    by inviting the likes of Mike Emmons to join their campaign stage?

    achieve it, and raised real working-class wages for the first time
    in fifty years I don't know what was most effective because you're
    not even supposed to know this was possible--and especially that
    Trump did it" - Doctor-Baron 17cShyteposter, DDS <URL:https://twitter.com/17cShyteposter/status/1585135598914129920>
