Hey, we know the Ransomware's primarily coming from Russia. China has made some attempts to get into our networks.

Profiting From Modern-Day High-Tech Servitude The H1-B Provision of Immigration Law
Facebook Avoiding American Workers [00:00:00] Craig Peterson: let's get into our friends here over at Facebook. I have been talking for years about this whole H1B visa problem. It's been a problem in the tech industry primarily. Now there are other types of temporary worker visas that are used in other industries. For the most part, I think in most other industries, they're not misused. But in the US, it is very misused. It's crazy, frankly, when you get right down to it. [00:00:35] We have some of the top consulting companies in the country bringing in foreign workers. When we have US citizens that really could do the job, should do the job. By law, it has to be given to our US citizens versus these foreign workers. So really what is going on?

[2021-06-19 Week #1118] The Columbia lawsuit. This is just amazing.
