<p>Considering how many of these adds have more than a hundred of local applicants, and still end up hiring people that are not from North America it is quite clear they do not intend to follow the intent of the law.<p>Let's be honest they want a captive workforce that depends upon them to stay in the USA and build a life.<p>There has to be a better way to does not make them captive, and allows Americans to be the first ones, and even after that the priority should be people in North America, even International students.<p>But the fact they keep hiring mostly and overwhelmingly people from the same five countries that are desperate to come to the USA is an indication these companies are profiting formt he desperation of people.</p>

<p>>Francesca Albanese does from the looks of it appear to be fairly antisemitic as well, they have made many statements indicating they believe many common antisemitic conspiracy theories at a minimum in addition to statements that appears to be justifying terrorism.<p>lmao no she does not she reported a well substantiated set of claims and provided plenty of evidence. Sadly some Jewish individuals and entities, mainly Zionists tarnish the rest of us jews. But no, telling the truth about bloodthirsty Zionists is not antisemitism.
It stopped being "muh cunspirucy thiory" when it became clear how much they loved and worked with Epstein.</p>

<p>That would imply two things:<p>One> An executive has to care about a cost center, then proceeds to invest in prevention instead of looking like a hero after, instead of putting off a fire an getting a promotion or bonus. Which is nigh impossible.<p>Two> Our tech overlords try to push for our cyberpunk present to at least look kinda cool. Which they also refuse todo.</p>

<p>It really depends on the context and the context within the context.
I used to manage a medium sized IT firm in Colombia on a hybrid manner.<p>One of our biggest clients had a sort of high end boutique set of businesses and two bigger businesses that interacted quite more with the regular public.<p>For the high end boutiques he asked us ONLY and ONLY to use mac's both because down there they are synonym of "prestige and class" and because the (very attractive) women that he hired for most roles were only familiar, or preferred mac's and were consumer's exclusively of apple's walled garden.<p>We had a bunch of customers like that, the real issue is that if this were on place I would have made it an option for my clients, eventually some things like security or software may move a significant number of users there, specially after the new mac mini, the neo and the ma air become budget options compared to a lot of what microsoft is offering in latam and some parts of Europe.</p>

<p>>I am not the kind of person who thinks AI will replace actors blah blah blah. But I am glad these tools exist, because this video wouldn’t exist without AI.<p>>In no world would I ever have put together a real cast and crew to remake a 15 year old inside joke video for Googlers, but I was able to make it with AI.<p>BUT IT DID !! and part of the charm is that this involved real people talking, mutual understanding and a shared culture.
That world existed it can still exist unless we surrender to the depravity of conformity and comfortability.</p>

<p>I would like to assume that I am a good candidate I usually get calls back from even LinkedIn posts or even indeed, but after well applying to more than two hundred offerings on the who is hiring posts in this place, and only having had been called twice. I can assure you that the ones here usually are not hiring and at best just want a rooster of possible replacements for their current employees.
Most notable offender is mixrank, I know more than twenty people that have applied to no avail, even people with more than 22 years of experience and very fancy titles.</p>

<p>It seems like you have misread my comment and think I have a particular thing against any group of people.<p>That is simply not the intention of the comment, if you read correctly you will note that what I meant is that you need to take care of your own people, something that the United States ACCOMPLISHED from the fifties until before Reagan.<p>I am just not more native than an Indian or Italian person that just like me came a few decades ago. However to pretend there is no difference between me and someone whose family has been here for decades or centuries... that is dishonest.<p>Why do you call Xenophobia to prioritize giving good jobs to the local population ? It seems like your reading comprehension as well as your definition of Xenophobia is deeply, deeply flawed. We can have immigration that makes sense. Like what Canada used to have...<p>We should prioritize those that have been for decades in a country and those whose families have paid taxes for multiple generations, there is absolutely nothing xenophobic about that.</p>

<p>It is kind of disingenuous and dishonest to say that there is no value or meaning on those Americans born in American soil, a nation should prioritize the people that live on it or well at least care for them and make them useful for nation building in the future.<p>Canada has proven that importing punjabis for almost two decades and ignoring the local people is not effective. So yeah there is a meaningful difference and saying native born in this context allows us to steer the conversation towards taking care towards those in the country already, which is something that neolib governments have not done in the last decades.<p>I say this as a person that was not born in the country he resides in now, but saying "calling yourself "native born" doesn't mean a thing " is a dishonest way to try to dissuade and delete necessary words that work towards more fruitful conversatons about how to improve th esytems in North America.</p>
