Happy New Year! We start off 2025 with an in depth discussion about, what else? H-1B Visas. In all seriousness, the visa issue has revealed fascinating dynamics within American politics and culture. Our guest Lee Fang wrote a fantastic article on the business dynamics behind a controversial policy that’s pitted Elon Musk against more traditional MAGA types. In this pod, our topics include but aren’t limited to…* What the hell are H-1B Visas? * Why is the “Tech Right” struggling to make a case for them? * Is Elon Musk’s loyalty to America or Mars? * I read the now infamous Vivek Ramaswamy tweet* What’s wrong with 90’s sitcoms and sleepovers?* “Market dominant minorities” and modern anti Indianism * Is the Tech Right against racism? Or just highly specific forms of it? * What are people in tech really like? House of Strauss is a reader-supported publication.
