    From John D Groenveld@21:1/5 to All on Sat Aug 16 03:44:02 2025
    Newsweek's Theo Burman on whether Donald Trump will attempt to enlist
    Peter Thiel's VP JD Vance or Norm Braman's Little Marco Rubio to serve
    as Trump's Deputy Chief Sales Critter for Trump's bipartisan,
    comprehensive, merit-based immigration reform legislative legacy
    authored by the Cheap Labor Lobby and passed by Mike Johnson's
    House.GOV and John Thune's Senate.GOV and does Susie Wiles believe
    that Trump's endorsement is worth committing political suicide by
    betraying legacy American proles: <URL:https://www.newsweek.com/microsoft-h-1b-visa-criticism-layoffs-2105676>
    | Microsoft confirmed that it had laid off around 9,000 employees in
    | its latest round of cuts, which accounted for about 4 percent of its
    | workforce.
    |
    | These layoffs came after two earlier rounds this year, bringing the
    | total number of jobs eliminated to nearly 16,000. Government data
    | also showed the company applied for 9,491 H-1B visas during the
    | previous fiscal year, all of which were approved.
    |
    | In a statement to CFO Dive, though, a Microsoft spokesperson said
    | that the layoffs and the visas were unrelated, saying: "Our H-1B
    | applications are in no way related to the recent job eliminations,
    | in part because employees on H-1Bs also lost their roles. In the
    | past 12 months, 78 percent of the petitions we filed were extensions
    | for existing employees and not new employees coming to the U.S."

    According to Joseph Edlow's USCIS.GOV, how many of Bill Gates' RIFd
    scab workers have self-deported?

    And who does Gates like for WhiteHouse.GOV in 2028 and will he (or she)
    deliver more or less scab workers for MSFT? <URL:https://www.myvisajobs.com/employer/microsoft/>
