I have personally been in the room when illegal labor decisions were made around H-1B hiring and immigration law, which I reported to USCIS. But that doesn't scale unless you can get into more places where these decisions are made. So, when all you have is a hammer, you have to hit whatever is within reach of the target outcome.

> you’re probably not “the little guy”, you’re probably in the top 10% if you make more than around $160K

I am closer to a blue collar worker than a CEO or other very wealthy/empowered person driving these anti labor decisions, so your argument is not compelling, I know who these people are behind closed doors. It's always about some combination of wealth, profit, status, power, and/or control.

I feel your pain.

We'd rather be training in-house people to be better long term than training up people that get moved off the project as soon as they get upskilled...

The median income earner is making around $65K. They don’t see you as one of them if you are making even six figures

I do not need their approval to want better for them, or to advocate for or take action to achieve the same. How they see me is irrelevant. Humans are tricky.

Seeing who rural America routinely votes for and that they rather vote for someone who hates the same people they hate at their own expense (including people who look like me) - I stop caring, I’m over it.

		Rural America is not the majority of America (81.7 million people, 24.4 percent of the U.S. population). ~70% of US GDP is from “blue” counties. https://www.fhfa.gov/blog/insights/who-lives-in-rural-americ... https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2017/08/rural-america...
