They can freely change jobs if the new employer files an H1b petition for them. The only situation where the H1B worker is tied to their current employer is if that current employer is currently sponsoring them for a Green Card. That can't be transferred.

I have zero problem with profits but the tech industry is being handled the same as the manufacturing industries were handled. They will do anything to reduce the cost of labor. Offshoring or in-shoring which costs Americans jobs and will reduce the overall quality of life in the states.'
Most of my friends find that process to be a risk. The new employer could change their mind about hiring them and then back to their country of origin they go. Budgets can change and jobs disappear. Hiring managers terminated and the new hiring manager could want someone else for the job.
Where I see businesses or business processes fail are not accounting for the backend costs of the intended outcomes.
For companies with more money than Midas they tend to overlook much of that until a bean counter or a member of senior leadership sees something that will impact the stock price or their bonus.
Yeah, I shied away from involving myself with that type. Stayed in my own low-class indefinitely (Stole a little of that from Rooster Cogburn.)
Riding the crazy train can be fun but eventually you’re going to suffer the consequences.
Their names are usually like Kristie or Tammy.
Nobody went home hungry. 😂😂😂😂😂
I was working in schools back then. There was plenty of fat filled food to go along with the additional healthy sides.
Brainwashed.
Yeah.... Just terrible exposing kids to some fresh fruits and vegetables that their families can't afford or have access to in poorer neighborhoods without full grocery stores.
But now we suddenly care about nutrition and healthy foods. 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Idiots
That’s my point, you illiterate dumbass. Google, Facebook, Apple, etc. should be forced to choose from the talent pool they’ve helped destroy.
Or, if you think the American education system is pumping out enough qualified candidates, then clearly the H1B system is just about importing cheap labor.
Americans who are succeeding are doing it in spite of the failing school systems.
Seems like everyone is in agreement that US based companies should not be able to import cheap foreign workers if the domestic talent is available, though potentially more expensive.
This all feels like the democrat resistance to cleaning up voter roles or having voter ID. If you don’t think there’s an issue, and the processes are working to safeguard America, then why resist efforts to clean things up?

You're such an idiot. You regurgitate the words "communism" and "socialism" with no clue what the words actually mean.
Red tape regulations are not communism. It's government policies.
You may not like the policies....but it's not even close to communism. 🤣
Communism is when the government takes complete charge of factories, businesses and all means of production.
Please cite the source showing that Biden seized control of Ford Motor Company and took over production of all motor vehicles in America.
Are you even aware of the battery plants being built in Ky so we don't have to be dependent on China for our EVs?
Educate yourself about the true definition of communism before sounding like a chicken little alarmist. 🐣
Since when in our history have immigrants not been the basis for entry level cheap manual or factory labor???
But you think that ends in 2025? Only if you wanna see our economy tank.
There aren't enough Americans to fill all those needed jobs and we are currently at a zero birth rate in this country.
Whether you tighty righties like it or not.... We need immigrants badly or this economy dies.

Saw it live and couldn't believe it.
Shouldn't have responded, I guess. Sorry it ruined the illusion. Looks like he's imitating a 1970s Chicago Bears QB from that angle
The problem explaining this to people is the lack of real education about how markets work. Real estate illustrates the lesson well, but few are taught how.
Chevy Chase in Lexington is a high end market. Homes there sell for phenomenally higher prices when compared to existing homes along Versailles Rd near Mason Headley. An appraiser CANNOT use a comparable sale from that area of Versailles Rd to estimate value on a property located on DeShay in Chevy Chase. It's an entirely different market.
What we have allowed the govt to do is bring in homes from a trailer park and put them on lots with the value of Chevy Chase lots. That's what "open markets" do, and it doesn't RAISE values for the double wide they brought in. It LOWERS values for the rest of the homes in the vicinity and eventually the entire subdivision as more mobile homes are added.
The point in MARKETS is that the products need to be produced in the market area and support the values of a market area, or it hurts the market. Competition WITHIN the market area is good. Competition from outside the market leads to an imbalance that destroys the market value in both wages and property value.
If the govt is not going to hang tariffs on goods imported from other markets with much lower wage scales and values, then they need to lower taxes and fees by the proportional difference in wages of those in the outside market, because the budget and the entire market is unsustainable otherwise, as this govt has well proven.
There are no older workers. There are hardly any programmers that have gray hair, let alone aging.
The whole issue about h1b is some hypothetical nonsense from people with no knowledge of that industry and its uniqueness. Theyre just plain wrong.
The answer is to clean up our education system so there isnt a need to import talent.

As I said, you illiterate dunce, if Americans are available, cheap foreign labor shouldn’t be imported to do the jobs.
Run for office! You get it!
Ah yes, the democrat who is in favor of paying under the table and having people live with 20 in a two bed room apartment. Anything else you need to add Corporate Oligarch?Since when in our history have immigrants not been the basis for entry level cheap manual or factory labor???

Bottom line, our border needs to be closed to illegal crossers. Illegal aliens need to be deported. Birthright citizenship needs to end.
We can talk about H1Bs later.
Spend the political capital on cutting taxes.

It's amazing how much has changed from December 2016-December 2024.Sanity returns.
I was watching Man in the Arena, that Tom Brady doc the other day and was reminded of how he didn't go to the White House for the Super Bowl celebration cause of fear of media with Trump. And how everything was just constant hysteria from the left.
All that has changed really is just fatigue of the left and seeing how much the Democrat Party sucks ass with the four years they just gave us. Trump didn't do anything. It's just what the left has done--- create chaos, kill the economy, flood your country with illegals and crime, try to imprison and murder their political opposition.
This is a dumb decision and something he would've done in his first term as well. MAGA does not f'g want people like Mike Johnson.
In my "heyday", though I was just a little guy compared to others in my area, I worked 30 people and even paid a portion of their health insurance. People came from all over the United States to our area to buy goods to take home and sell on routes to stores. They drove big trucks they bought from somebody. They stAyed in local motels both here and when on their sales routes. We bought raw goods from suppliers in the Carolina textile mills and from the steel industry among other places. We as a country started importing goods made with slave labor from China. We couldn't compete, so our industry and related jobs are gone.
This is a dumb decision and something he would've done in his first term as well. MAGA does not f'g want people like Mike Johnson.
Hopefully Trump gained access to whatever compromising information the establishment has been using to keep Johnson in line. He sucks, sucks doubly with Thune leading the Senate.
I understand wanting to avoid a political fight for Speaker before even getting started on the MAGA agenda, but think this could backfire in a major way. Johnson is an establishment cuck.
My response on X to Keith Olbermann
"The best President since RFK"
In the immortal words of Mr. Hand, "I'm going to leave your words on this board for ALL of my students to enjoy, giving you FULL credit of course, Mr. Olbermann"
Sure, why not. What's another 6B into the bucket? And since when does Janet unelected Yellen get to hand out US dollars?
I thought this loon said he was abandoning X...? These people never actually follow through on anything.

No, it's not dumb. What's President Trump going to do at this point? Completely alienate him? You have to try something and that something was easy. President Trump knows he has four years. Time is crucial. An extended fight will not allow it... If plan B is required, who knows...
Vikings and Lions fans are the new money "lottery winners" that join the blue blood country club, pull up in a tricked out Hummer, shoot 130 with their new 3000 dollar irons (never fixing their prodigious divots), and order chicken fingers and a Diet Coke with no ice at dinner, "and DON'T get stingy with the Ranch dressing..."
Yea, I mean plenty of Americans around to pick vegetables, fruits and nuts in CA. Nice weather to boot. What's not to like.
And a lot more to clean hotel rooms.
