One of the most salient aspects of Sowell and why he’s so rational compared to so many others is his defining characteristic is asking “what is the tradeoff”. It’s the defining characteristic of modern conservatism, what do we get for x, what are the benefits and what are the costs. In this aspect we are now faced with in the current zeitgeist is “what is the tradeoff of H1Bs”. Why are corporations so hell bent on H1B, what are the ramifications, and who does it benefit? This has been the delineation between morality, reason, and practice. I’m posting this as food for thought. Who benefits and at what cost?

H1B Indians are profitable. They do work, sure their code is crap, they lie, hide their mistakes and are extremely racist to non-Indians as long as it is not against a higher up but things are still functioning. Compare H1B to DIE and H1B are much better. DIE are just as good as H1B but have no incentive to be better, they are entitled and are more expensive.
Not only that but Indians have made boot liking in to an art. Management loves that.
H1B also makes sure corporations keep control. If you restrict the supply of labor the people make the demands but corporations have the equivalent of cheat codes for capitalism.
No, the cracks just haven't become obvious to the average normie yet. I can point at Microsoft's horror show over the last ten years and every sysadmin will know of what I speak, but the average consumer hasn't developed any concerns regarding the long term stability of the Windows operating system.
AI made things better for them. I have one Indian guy on my team, his code was incredibly bad, it barely worked and had 0 reusability among customers.
Now we're using AI, his code has improved drastically. He still needs input on what needs improvement but I can actually use it. As a friend of mine said, is all nice until you do code review and you ask them what was the logic behind it.
If AI basically does all the job why you need to hire indians instead of rednecks?
Ai is a tool. Someone has to use it.
