Completely divorced from the stuff about burger boy, we should be long past needing "we're so back" moments on the H-1b question. The base has been incredibly clear on how they feel about this shit, yet we still see so many issues getting anywhere. The closest we got was signing the $100k application fee thing, which sounded amazing at first - it was meant to be yearly, would apply to existing H-1b visas, and would be immediate, only for it to be knocked down to "only for foreign citizens and a one time fee". The base has been incredibly clear, half measures aren't desired on this issue. They can't keep giving the same platitudes that have been rejected - "Americans aren't talented enough", "we need the elite talent", and "this will lead companies to offshore" (this one in particular pisses me off, H-1b visas workers are used to facilitate offshoring, they bring fuckers in to run offshore teams to keep the person leading them on a shorter leash). We may get a "we're so back" moment, but I feel like it's going to be something that starts out looking good only to be near instantly whittled down into nothing, with the near instant implication that any complaining should stop.
