...damnatis me cum insania perpetua, in scribendo autem quiesco...

28 April 2005

What a jerk...

In typical butt-hole fashion: "Microsoft's Gates urges end to US tech visa limits."

Hey jerk-off! How about employing some fucking Americans?! Now, don't get me wrong. I love foreign people. I've worked alongside them. They are wonderful people. But when the technology sector is only a couple percentage points away from the manufacturing sector in terms of job-losses to foreigners and out-sourcing, we have a big fucking problem.

I understand why out-sourcing exists, and in theory it is not entirely a Bad Thing. However, as with all other theories the reality is often quite different. The reality is the technology sector's unemployment rates are rising, all the while out-of-country out-sourcing is rising.

We don't need MORE out-sourcing and H1-Bs. We need to invest in our own people. How can we have a "global" market, if we ignore our own market in the process? I'm all for countries of the world working together, becoming more friendly and dependent on peaceful interactions. But not at the expense of millions of Americans losing their job and being unable to pay the bills, and our economy being unsustainable because it relies entirely on foreign capital and labor.

Quit being a dick, Bill.
