Task force on jobs.

The CEO of a popular U.S. gaming brand on Thursday was appointed to a high-level Federal Reserve task force despite ongoing fury over her company's recent firing of 1,600 workers while being approved to hire thousands of foreign visa workers.
Asha Sharma, who heads Microsoft's Xbox division, announced the layoffs earlier this week. Microsoft said that it will lay off 4,800 people in total, while it had been approved earlier this year to hire 2,273 foreign H-1B visa employees, according to data from U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services (USCIS).
At the height of the wrath over the layoffs this week, the Federal Reserve moved forward with appointing Sharma to a newly-created advisory role within the central bank.

I disagree with H-1B visa workers existing, but this is misleading because not all of those 4,800 workers were in the USA. See how they worded it carefully to fool people like you?

As in, she's not the head of Microsoft. Maybe some of the H-1Bs will work at XBOX, but that hasn't been shown. I don't think we know where MS plans to use those at this point.

Do not trust Indian invaders.

It’s a small pond at the top.. I hate it but also recognize that at least it’s supported by upward mobility from outside on the regular.. that opportunity is what keeps the barbarians at the gate

Weak people allow this to keep happening. Whites insist on being conquered. They'll dismiss it and say its not that bad but you iterate these cases over and over and you have an invasion. You have poor craftsmanship and increased enshittification of products.
