I suspect the very best engineers will be worth every penny of that $100k/yr and the amount of abuse will drop. There is the very real risk that companies will move to outsource more roles, but I will personally be boycotting them.

Good. I’m sure you and the 10 other individuals who choose to boycott all of FAANG will ensure that this all balances out in the end.

		I can’t control what others do, but I’ll sleep well knowing that I did my part.

it isn't a risk, it is a certainty that companies will off shore more as a result of this.

You think the US government will really allow that? You think they're gonna do this and then just let them outsource?

		I’m incredulous you’d expect otherwise? This is clearly pandering favor with a certain demographic, in a way that didn’t upset the big money going to Maralargo. Why would they intervene with outsourcing the jobs instead of H1Bs? And more importantly, how?

		There is no way around it, you either outsource or lose (and they already outsourced almost all factories). Companies will move HQs to India and "outsource" some operations to the US.

That is their right. It is our right and, I’d argue, our duty to boycott them.

The great America taught the Saudis, and the rest of the world how to drill for oil. without importing cheap labor don't forget this.
