Yes. Stop what you’re doing for five minutes and go read @mclem.org on the dumb, corrupt and authoritarian H-1B visa change by the Trump administration.

The US Administration has proposed an astronomical tax on lawful, high-skill immigrant workers. The economic evidence is clear about what Americans can expect: Less innovation, less entrepreneurship, lower productivity. A diminished future. My new summary at @piie.com —>

imagine if a family of beavers randomly showed up right now and finished whatever thing you've been putting off

A $100k “price” for H1-B visas is like a tariff on STEM labor. And the first rule of tariffs is clear: never tax your inputs — that just makes American firms less competitive than their foreign competitors.

The astronomical new Skill Penalty on US work visas will hobble a core driver of productivity growth in the US economy. “H-1B visas cause innovation, they cause entrepreneurship, they cause more R&D investment,” I told the @wsj.com Very nice and balanced piece by @jdlahart.bsky.social —>

This is absurd. But to be honest, we all should have left academia.edu ages ago because of their spamming. Their "AI-generated professional podcasts" of papers are another very good reason to delete your account. Good riddance!

Eu apaguei minha conta no academia ponto edu anos atrás, quando começaram a meter spam e paywall em tudo. Só que isso aqui é BEM mais grave. Se você é pesquisador e usa esse site, recomendo fortemente que delete sua conta (embora já seja um pouco tarde).

Blusky users: Why are normie people still posting on X? They should move here. Also (*some*) Bluesky users: we will dunk hard on anyone who thinks differently from us, and celebrate when we chase them away.

The H1-B visa thing is, like everything else in the Trump administration, set up to carve up exceptions for friends and punish enemies. It’s the authoritarian thru-line that stitches everything together.
