Do lawyers work in front of laptops always? I used to be in consulting so I know sizable time had to be spent while away from my laptop. Just curious how lawyers work.

I wish I had discovered that uploading cat videos on YouTube might change one's life ;)

Nope, offshorinng to non-US companies is the most preferred alternative in the real world. Just look at the fact. Offshorinng has been existing for a long time. Building dev center in Ohio and Montana is much more difficult and costly.

As I mentioned above, big techs are already expanding their offshore dev centers. Going offshore is a proven option to them.

Banning H1B doesn't mean more local hiring.

The best scenario for U.S.: Hiring only locals

The worst scenario for U.S.: Offshore outsourcing

The base scenario for U.S.: Hiring H1Bs

If H1B is banned or becomes effectively useless, many companies will go for the worst scenario. Even now, big tech companies have been investing on their offshore dev centers. H1Bs pay taxes and spend their money here.

IPO is a one-time event. You gotta wait for the best perfect timing. I don't think its financial suck. It might not be the best shape at this moment.

That would be a quite naive solution for the owner of the goods. The owners do not have to pay anything essentially. Hanjin is still responsible to unload the goods at any cost (e.g. selling their ships to someone else).
