<p>This is simply not (always) true.  Spotify injects ads for Podcasts even for paying users.  YouTube has tons of videos with adds built-in by content creators.</p>

<p>In a democratic society, complaining is very important.  It is probably why, by people complaining about a 5% inflation, the government had to take drastic moves to suppress it.<p>If you don't complain, you eventually won't be able to complain.  If you can't complain, you take anything shoveled to you by the government, poverty being the foremost.</p>

<p>Not all poverty is created equal.<p>Some people had good financial discipline and still fell into poverty due to business catastrophes, accidents or health problems.  We need better systems to provide shields for those people, be it bankruptcy laws, universal insurance or healthcare.<p>Others live in unhabitable environments that can never sustain a viable economy.  Until humanity finds technologies to address those environmental issues, they can never get out of poverty.<p>Then there are always people who are reckless and irresponsible.  They are black holes of resources.  Some can be educated while others do deserve to be poor.  It's based their own decisions and I don't see a moral issue to leave them alone.</p>

<p>Sending correspondence to your legislative representatives about your opinion on a matter is NOT unsolicited email.</p>

<p>I don't understand.  I thought politicians are a subset of the people.  If millions are aware of the issue and the speech, why would the politicians be oblivious?</p>

<p>$100k filing fee cannot be legally viable.  But I support the direction in general.  There is virtually no gate control, causing the visa category to be flooded by fraudulent applications (including unqualified hires, duplicate lottery shots).  H1B visas are initially designed for economic efficiency, so using monetary means to control it is justifiable.</p>
