One way I had it explained to me (may be different now).. H-1B's are often a way of getting willing candidates who are overqualified to work tons of extra hours for years compared to other options.

My anecdata is that all the ones I've worked with have been underqualified, not saying all are, but Indian managers primarily hire Indian staff.

Fair they may be underqualified. Overworked probably.

Heres another way to think about it.

How has humanity organised itself to maximize productivity throughout time? By means of slavery.

What really is h1b at the core? Its a modern form of slavery - it appears to be voluntary in nature (to a degree it is) but the key point is that it creates lock in. That lock in enables a slave-like culture to thrive. And this is what we see.

And btw just install Sundar and Satya as CEOs to voluntarily attract more Indian software engineers and so on...

Lmao its so easy to see whats been going on. These guys arent all that smart, even though they are worshipped.

Slavery, and it's replacement - indentured labour definitely is a blight.
