That’s fair. I didn’t realise how socially divisive the H1Bs were, though it makes sense now that you mention it.
In a lot of places in South Asia, it’s common to place small religious shrines on the dash of a car to ward off bad luck. Just thought I’d mention for no reason.
Correct, but this more a case of qualifications chasing investment rather than vice-versa. It’s not the kind of immigration that tends to get ‘debated’ in terms of how much of it should be allowed, though the H1Bs were kind of in the news cycle a few months ago.
It’s a little more complex than this. Wage suppression does occur but only at the very bottom strata of employment, specifically those producing use-values that are directly consumed within the country where the labour is performed. Employment in industries producing globalised/exported commodities tend not to see wage suppression and often sees an opposite effect as the higher concentration of highly-qualified labour attracts more investment. All this is to say that the overall effect doesn’t tell the whole story, and different sections of the bourgeois may have differing reasons for supporting/opposing immigration.

There is definitely truth in this. But I also think it’s a dangerous attitude to perpetuate. Because blaming the majority offender can counterintuitively lead to an endless loop of passing responsibility along. Case in point when some people in relatively smaller countries argue that its not their responsibility to cut emissions because countries like China and India are the majority polluters. China and India can then point to developed countries having made more cumulative emissions over time. Eventually someone has to take a stand and make a change, even if the main impact is to initiate a cultural shift.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that Moore's law no longer applies.English
1·8 days agoThat definitely possible. There is still a lot of ongoing research into new transistor architectures and nanolithography techniques tho, so I wouldn’t count out the possibility of moore’s law continuing for a couple more decades. It’s honestly astonishing how good at this stuff the tech industry really is, it’s beyond anything that sci-fi could imagine.

Why are there two reactions? Who else was let in on this critical information?





I never liked those stupid handles, I like that there’s actually a good reason to hate on them
