MEDIA: H-1B Lottery Is Shutting Out Top Talent. Replace It

Michael Bloomberg's blog editors on whether NeverBackDown.ORG's
Ken Cuccinelli and Steve Cortes advised Casey DeSantis to dispatch
Ron to David McIntosh's ClubForGrowth.ORG to plead for go-ahead to
deploy the likes of Mike Emmons onto Lachlan Murdoch's FoxNews.COM
campaign stage to impeach Donald Trump for failing to convert the
Cheap Labor Lobby's scab worker import quota lottery to a wage
ordered queue:

| The need to recruit top talent is clear. US science and math test
| scores lag other rich nations, while China's rapid advance in
| technologies including AI has become a more pressing national-
| security concern. Bringing the H-1B back to its original purpose
| should be a priority. Policymakers should start by significantly
| raising the floor for the H-1B visa salary -- from $60,000 today --
| to a level that more closely matches competitive industry
| compensation. For example, a benchmark at the 85th percentile of
| wages by occupation and location would reward high earners and
| eliminate applicants with lower skills. (Thanks to another visa
| program, modestly paid college graduates with STEM degrees have at
| least three years of work authorization to close the earnings gap.)

Will legacy American proles in STEM fields see their wages rise
faster than inflation in Lori Chavez-DeRemer's BLS.GOV surveys by the
time Peter Thiel and VP JD Vance begin campaigning for WhiteHouse.GOV
and does Susie Wiles believe those survey correlate to the chance
Thiel and Vance face a primary challenge from the right on the
National Question?

"I doubt Kellogg knew President Trump was going to hit Zelenskyy
with such a direct confrontation.  Heck, I doubt anyone knew how
forceful President Trump was going to be.  As a consequence, any
press availability today -less than 24 hours since President Trump's
remarks- was going to be filled with questions to Zelenskyy about
them, as well as questions to Kellogg.   Cancelling the presser was
a smart move." - Sundance
