If a USA resident tech skills can't get a job, yet hundreds of Koreans can, then at least some of the blame lies with the employers.

Are those employers chasing lower-cost remote workers in their mindless pursuit of reducing expenses?

I would love if this happened to me, so I could get a C2 installed on their computer and break the entire back-end operation for fun.

I'm a big fan of Cold War-era thriller films

there're also some good spy films at that time, but these are not as cool as thrillers such as The Thing and Invasion of the Body Snatchers

unfortunately or fortunately, there hasn't been such brilliant films since the end of the Cold War(I like The Facult, but it is not that good)

fortunately or unfortunately, I believe that such brilliant films are about to make a comeback
