Would love to know how! Our company just move one of our department to Pune because it was hard to get H1Bs. With that I think at least 4 Americans lost their jobs.

What greedy, heartless, unpatriotic company do you work for? I'm sure a massive name-and-shame campaign against them will convince them to restore those 4 jobs.

And perhaps the Republicans could explore the possibility of imposing surcharges on fees paid to offshore development shops, to encourage a more "America First" mindset in greedy companies who lay off American workers and offshore the work.

Just the kind that almost every American works for and little better than the owned by out President. If you know any unselfish, living, patriotic company that is also profitable that pays well please refer me I will join there!

We think that as a real possibility and intend to bypass it too.

I know you have been sarcastic.

No, I'm quite serious. I've had a bellyful of being lectured by boy billionaires. Anything that helps me and hurts them, I'm all for.
