Prevalent among West coast city future shock culture, self-driving vehicles operated by HB-1 visa workers and plastered with multiple stickers announcing “New Driver- Please Be Patient”, threaten to overwhelm the burgeoning homeless encampments of stinking bums and hardcore drug users living in hovels constructed on sidewalks and public school athletic fields where students have to avoid or use the tents to their advantage in weaving their way for a touchdown. A popular rumor is that the Seattle school district athletic director is adopting a set of rules that takes into account rows of transitory campers entrenched near midfield to ensure that everyone is accommodated and inclusion is embraced for all, except the athletes and frustrated parents. The cretins of the Field Turf campground are encouraged to participate in the actual game and goaded by school board members to stick a leg outside their temporary domicile and trip a teen racing for a score in what proponents and cultural anthropologists claim builds empathy among the players and prepares the kids for the ups and downs of life. Dodging a stack of discarded drug needles is just part of the fun.
While sources with sticker manufacturing connections have passively revealed that sales have exponentially increased among US born citizens who simply realize that they are bad drivers and use the placard as a ploy drum up sympathy from the accident victim in a fender bender, the same insufferable mentality is evident among those buying phony “Service Dog” harnesses, and parading their boutique psychotic breed of teeth and shrill barking paroxysm through restaurants, malls and around the aforementioned athletic fields populated by sanctuaries for those who don’t want to pay rent. Allegedly, the Seattle school district superintendent is encouraging the dog moms and mutts to become part of the action. The students just cannot win on any level and it is no surprise that TikTok has become both an oasis and outlet for the currently trending “rat poison” challenge.
Outside of the subversion surrounding the mass influx of techies imported from China and India, where Silicon Valley corporations can slash their bottom line, the sordid H1-B visa program has become an immigration nightmare thriving on fraud. As US citizen techies have endured a period of layoffs over the last two years due to shrinking revenues and the implementation of AI bot the applications for those internationally hoping to relocate to a Seattle or a San Francisco tech mecca has skyrocketed, and everyone wants to join the feeding frenzy, including all the major players of the software world. Disturbingly, the hysteria and unethical schemes stemming from the potential billions of dollars on the table and priceless influence, has earned the attention of the Biden administration, and oxymoron of optimism from public watchdogs, who are wagering on the exact date of when the incompetence proliferating from the federal organ will contribute to the nation officially on the trajectory for third world status, and a seat at India’s table in the United Nations cantina.
According to figures from the US Citizenship and Naturalized services (USCIS), a whopping 780,844 Gavin Newsom intricately NASA engineered tax-payer funded hair follicles applications were submitted for the H1-B lottery. While the term “lottery” is appropriate to describe the casino-like atmosphere of individuals and companies fighting for the potential placement at super- companies, the whole process has devolved into a farce that not even the most-skilled grifter could successfully architect. As there are only 85,000 “spots” available annually, the competition is fierce and reaches the threshold of unethical.
This year’s stunning figure of those vying for an exclusive spot in a grand scheme that sends Americans scampering to the unemployment office with all the grace of a herd of mountain goats thundering down a peak, is up from nearly 485,000 applications last year. As nothing is simple anymore when it comes to Silicon Valley and the industry outside of social media concerns, the convoluted framework is worth noting.
USCIS officials have uncovered that things may be as they seem in evaluating the raw figures, and individuals and entities are manipulating the system for personal and financial benefit. However, the federal agency conveniently forgets that there is more at stake than simply marginalizing corporate profits, as this goes far deeper than dollars and cents, as the nation’s population figures remain in decline, as traditional couples of not bearing children and the fifty year projections are not promising. Contingency?
Typically, a qualified digital worker submits an application in matching their skillset to a tech company. If their winning ticket comes up, they are permitted to work at that corporation for three years, in what is not a typical government issued work visa. Instead of candidates applying to a single business, individuals are submitting their credentials to multiple organizations headlined by Microsoft, Alphabet, Inc, and Meta, to increase the odds of their names being drawn out of the electronic. Except, the prodigious tech firms are embracing this development of dishonest practices in an already warped procedure, the insanity and presence of indifference goes hand in hand with the incompetence of big government to embrace public safety, as witnessed in democratically-controlled cities.
On one level the process shooting through the loopholes represents free market gamesmanship, on another level it is cheating from both all sides.
The corrupted image of tens of thousands of Chinese and East Indian software engineers swerving around sidewalk tents and facing the same challenge of schoolkids is a chilling representation of the lack of institutional control in government managing anything effectively.
While the tech industry prefers discombobulation stemming from vague “Terms and Conditions” to the reckless handling of end-user personal data, the trillion dollar marketplace shares one common goal with politicized bureaucracy- control. The two diabolical forces on a fundamental level strive for the submission of billions in a profitable and sustainable work in progress societal engineering experiment with absolutely no foreseeable consequences.
