I was surprised, given the sharp critique of the current H-1B system in the piece, that @Matloff didn’t recommend cutting the number of H-1Bs (and other similar programs). Maybe I missed something.

Good grief. This is insane, if Grok is correct. And I mean “insane” in a positive, inclusive and generally uplifting way. (It’s Grok’s answer to a query about my top 5 posts that X considers negative.)

Dems (Bernie, @nytopinion writers) seem to be turning against H-1B. Dems have almost half the votes in the House. GOP base already hates it. Are @ElonMush and @DavidSacks happy they turned H-1B into a big pre-inaugural issue? https://t.co/tyT4kXeOkv Sorry, that was negative.

I suspect Musk et al really want at least 2 things: 1) The superstars/Einsteins/Jokics 2) An army of (way) lower level grunts willing to pull multiple all nighters to get projects done quickly. Why not give SV that for AI/Quantum effort but not for anything else? https://t.co/yXqRObVPd0

In 2005, GM was making millions in China but collapsing in US. So they decided to save $$ by killing the successful China operations and ‘integrating’ them with the unsuccessful US operations. Genius move, of course. But do these centralizations EVER work? [Link in replies]

If Buick is dead or dying in China, what’s the reason for keeping it alive in the US? (The theory was that in China they buy Buicks because they think they’re big in the US so we have to at least keep pretending they are.) https://t.co/AgvYQTNIsF
