H-1B Visas and Offshoring Jobs Bullsh*t

Think all these layoffs are about AI? Think again. Jon Tsourakis, Jared Gibson, and James Hornick dive into the real story behind the latest corporate cost-cutting spree—how companies use H-1B visas and offshoring to drive down wages while pretending it's all about "efficiency." Spoiler: it's not. But before that, Jon has a bone to pick with a sneaky little 4% tax still showing up on some Chicago restaurant bills. Also, why are Jared and Jon getting flooded with ads featuring insanely jacked old dudes?  Now, back to business. H-1B visas. Offshoring. And the big lie companies are selling right now. Luckily, James was there to drop some knowledge, educating Jon and Jared on how the H-1B visa system actually works—and how companies exploit it. We break it all down: 🔹 How companies manipulate the system to underpay H-1B visa holders 🔹 Why killing the program would actually lead to more offshoring 🔹 The long-term impact no one's talking about And just to be clear—this isn't a political conversation. It's an economic one.
