This post did nothing to advance the conversation. There's nothing thought invoking, no statistics, and no argument. Please provide substance to your posts in the future.
It sounds like you are looking for a unicorn that is already familiar with your stack. Just pick someone who has the desire to work hard and learn new things. The rest comes with time.
I feel for the immigrants who won't be able to come, but this kind of abuse is hurting the career outlook for Americans. Our government needs to put the citizens ahead of the corporate interests.
Companies pull this kind of stuff, then wonder why there is a push back against globalization. Americans need to benefit from globalization, too! If most American work is displaced by foreigners, it really screws our society and economy, amplifying inequality to insane levels.
Our "entitlement" doesn't come from nothing. Wages have been dropping significantly since the recession. The loyalty that corporations show is lower than ever. All the jobs are either being outsourced or concentrated to a handful of urban centers in the country. Cost of living is going up every year, especially in housing. We're required to get $40-$100k in debt just to start our careers. All this is happening when supposedly our economy is doing better than ever. Then we hear constantly about how we're lazy, entitled, and should just work more. I'll tell you, I'm one of those "lazy" millennials, but I'm not lazy. I'm just not willing to be exploited just so corporations can profit more and more off of my labor. Why should I care about my work when it's obvious that it doesn't care about me?
This is true, but when an entire society does this, then all it does is exploit cheap labor and leads to a race to the bottom to see who can charge the least, all while the capital owners reap the rewards.
Why do you want to control what other people do to their houses? Is maintaining some sense of opulence so important to you that you would be willing to remove peoples' freedoms?
Edit: to those downvoting me, could you please explain? I don't understand.
But they're with a group of like-minded people whose rules reinforce many of their other NIMBY tendencies (i.e. no homeless shelters, adult bookstores, garish homes.) They agree with most of the rules, but because they want more control they tend to complain loudly about the ones they don't like.
The US constitution is but one of many sort-of democratic frameworks. And not overly democratic in its consequences (see gerrymandering, and the effects of the electoral college, or just all the problems with first-past-the-post even in theory).
So while HOAs have their obvious deficiencies, your attack is one of the weakest complaints imaginable.
Those jobs would have been shipped to India eventually anyway. Global corporations don't care about silly things like stable economies. They care about the bottom line.
Edit: to those downvoting me, can you please explain why? Am I wrong in some way?
Just speculating, but positions in AI are usually filled by people with PhD's and this knowledge is so scarce in the job market, not low level IT pros who are competing in a race to the bottom
I would imagine the quality of their university systems. I get the feeling that most top quality professors would not like to work for a university system run by the Indian government.
Do you have any source on India not having top research talent? From my understanding India has good amount of research and tech talent but it suffers a lot from brain drain to US universities. Especially students graduating from Indian institute of technology, national institute of technology + many more. In fact if you look into student (masters, phd) profiles of top US engineering schools like MIT, CMU, Stanford etc. most of the Indian students there have graduate degress from those Indian schools and they are in huge numbers. (who eventually end up at these companies or starting their own)
One of the main reasons for lack of research in India is lack of funding. Its nothing compared to US universities. But that does not imply it lacks talent. In fact primality test in polynomial time was founded by computer scientists at IIT - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AKS_primality_test.
If the prophecy materializes into a exodus of brain from the Valley, I would expect very skilled and trained Indians to go back and, depending on the environment they find home, there would be no reason why their couldn't stabling top research and start ups in their homeland.
They have invested huge amounts of money in the bay area. Reducing costs and making it more livable is a pretty smart decision. You don't lose employees who can't stand the commute, or want to be able to afford more than a tiny apartment at some point. You can improve your public image. Homelessness can be reduced. It's good for the environment. Etc...
Don't group everyone together like that. I used to frequent 4chan, and eventually joined in the trolly lulz threads. It was all just for fun. What made the site fun for me was the recognition of a foreign culture, the assimilation period where I began recognizing what made the site's culture unique, then a sense of being because I recognized the mentality the site formed. Like many things, it all had to do with our tribal evolution. Some may take lulz seriously, but don't assume everyone does.
