My regular account is set up to pull anything off gmail unlike my
proton account.

 
I stil get email from entities I resigned from years ago, such as the

I still get those too. I bailed in the '80s after Irwin Feerst lost his
battle to have the IEEE act in the interest of engineers rather than
employers. Everything he said about outsourcing and the abuse of H-1B
visas is as relevant, if not more so, today.

Can't stand the competition, eh?  :-)

Years ago, Lou Dobbs showed a video of Congressmen grilling Bill Gates
about H-1B visas, and Dobbs ranted (justifiably so) about "congressmen
groveling before a billionaire". Cut to today, and that rant seems quite
ironic given Dobb's groveling before his Cheetoh Jesus.

Meanwhile, the top 50 CMMI Level 5 companies seem all be in India.

(Our group, a couple decades ago, achieved Level 3).
