Elon musk recently called for a massive expansion of the H1B visa program. This has caused an expansion of the supply of dramacoin on Xitter where MAGAs and Techbros have been fighting over the question of h1bs (a plurality of which are from India). The former bromance between the two groups is now burning up like a firecracker full of butt gas.
Some of the drama has spilled over to reddit, which while less likely to be racialized, contains much of the usual redditisms.
First of all, imagine spending your Christmas doomblogging about this shit instead of enjoying food and presents with your family. LMAO, what a bunch of fricking losers.

Lmao now being an expert on codeforces is going to be a bare minimum in usa 😂😂😂.
I thought a lot of people voted R to regulate and reduce H1bs.
Anyone who votes right/conservative thinking they'll reduce immigration is an idiot. They love immigration for 2 main reasons.
it helps their billionaire friends (more poor people to abuse and exploit)
It gives the people a scapegoat for them to direct their anger towards instead of the politicians or their billionaire friends.
The last point is an old leftist chesnut, undermined by the fact that GOP base is turning against the billionaires who are advocating for raising immigration caps. The main reason is the Republicans secretly love the status quo, care little to understand issues intellectually, sit on their hands, and don't do shit. (in short, NOTHING EVER HAPPENS )
Elections have consequences.
America gets what it fricking deserves.
You need to import more Luigis.
And just like that liberals hate immigrants

Edit: unrelated side note, but has anyone noticed how Teslas have become a go-to car for sexy Indian dudes? Are they displacing the soys and boomers as Tesla's customer base?

Where have they been? It's already been collapsing for the last few years.
But it can only collapse so far before companies begin realizing they've cut too deep, and then it will bounce back (probably returning to r-slurred levels again because lol business).

I don't think a "bounce back" will happen unless QE returns and the economy gets high off of cheap credit like it did in the COVID era. AI-driven Automation is snuffing out low-level tech positions in a bottom-up manner, (as in high-skilled employees are using AI to become more productive). The door to easily starting a lucrative tech career has closed shut. The golden era is over.

Companies can do the opposite and fire the senior engineers after training a ML model on their code and then hire sexy Indian dudes. Itdidn't worked for IBM

They could, but I'd venture to say that would have a tendency to end up going wrong, given that models are never perfect.

IBM did this and it was a disaster. Their CEO specifically reasoned that offshore employees could replace senior level if they just trained a model off the senior engineers' code. Arvind is worse than Ginny.

QE returning is pretty much a certainty.
The short-term effects of turning on the money spigot makes politicians a lot more popular than austerity and taxes.

False, in the zoomer gen the rate of increasing personal incompetence has been growing faster than the rate of technological improvements too make work easier. Example - Video game graphics turning too shit this gen because of developer laziness and incompetence.
