This excellent book by @deathtospinach is so engaging, I chugged through it in a couple of hours yesterday (fyi I speedread 🙂). Separate to being highly entertaining, it's an empathetic, in-depth examination of an extremely serious issue that destroys finances, lives and trust in human nature (one of the absolute worst things to lose), that is only getting more and more widespread. I highly recommend you buy and read this book, and gift it to anybody in your family or network you might suspect of potentially being at risk for romance scamming: amazon.com/Keanu-Reeves-Not-…

You can see where I’m going with this. A casual perusal of the data shows that this isn’t a program for the top 0.1% of talent, as it’s been described. This is simply a way to recruit hundreds of thousands of relatively lower-wage IT and financial services professionals.

As it turns out, these are ALL Indian companies that import H-1B tech workers en masse:
Cognizant (93k)
Infosys (61k)
Tata Consultancy Services (60k)
Wipro
Capgemini
HCL
Compunnel
Tech Mahindra
Mphasis
These aren’t American companies that needed international talent to fill critical roles. They’re foreign companies that appear to have been founded to place overseas tech workers into US companies as contractors.

H-1B DATA MEGA-THREAD 🧵
I downloaded five years of H-1B data from the US DOL website (4M+ records) and spent the day crunching data.
I went into this with an open mind, but, to be honest, I'm now *extremely* skeptical of how this program works.
Here's what I found 👇

Willow is zero evidence that there is a quantum multiverse.
Every major interpretation of quantum mechanics, including all those that don't posit many worlds (relational quantum mechanics, QBism, etc.) predict that quantum computing should be possible, equally strongly.

Underdiscussed in personal finance:
Kids who were raised in an upper middle-class lifestyle and now, as adults, have no chance of living that way
People see their feelings of hopelessness & revenge spending, but few understand how social policy has encouraged this

a heavily pregnant housewife with six toddlers, living on what appears to be a modest salary, is not having a good time. This is a political view that benefits men

Jensen founded Nvidia at 30 with just $200.
👉 He sold 20% of the company to his lawyer for $200 (now worth $380B)👉 Bought a Mac to make a pitch deck on software called Persuasion
👉 Was clueless for the first six months
His lesson? No task is beneath him!

There are no 3rd spaces where children and young adults can go to be with their peers without the expectation of spending money. Everything we could have as resources became micro-transactional and subscription based faster than we can regulate it or predict corporate greed.
