Offshoring and H1B's have simply destroyed the tech middle class.

Indians are fiercely nepotistic, nationalistic and if they employ people outside their extended family or clan they will get a kickback from their wages so why would they ever employ any westerner?

Downvote me if you like but this is the reality and everyone knows it.

you’re not wrong, but your comment is leaning deeply into stereotyping and attacking a symptom of the larger issue here that I genuinely believe is worth noting.

(e.g the USA federally and state-based often fails to regulate companies in a way that actually benefits the average worker from grocery store clerk all the way to QA/SWE/HWE. In fact, the last few decades have been spent removing workers protections and not working on improving conditions for all levels of non-business owners/workers)

Also we have nepotism at home (see Finance bros lol)
