That’s not true. It’s a dual intent visa [1].

> Dual Intent: The H-1B visa type carries “dual intent” which means that the holder may intend to return to his/her home country or intend to immigrate to the United States.

However, it does fall under the broad category of temporary work visa, which is possibly why people wrongly assume it’s a “contract” visa.

> I mean all USA debt delinquencies are currently between the same levels as Q1 and Q2 of 2008...

Where did you find this? None of the data in https://fred.stlouisfed.org/categories/32440 confirms this other than the small bank credit card delinquencies.

Mainly Blind, LinkedIn and searching. After an offer is made and if you’re taking time to decide, recruiters often sets up a meeting with an executive to talk to you.

I tried that. It didn’t work out for me. Politics, organizational instability, bad executives and a never stopping pager are all insufferable. It kills the very thing, the entirety of joie de vivre that is the main reason for making money.

Now choosing job is a multi-variable analysis for me. I pay more attention to the executives.

> how completely fucked up the world’s economy

Wasn’t economy always effed up that way? I can’t think of a time economy wasn’t driven by corporate greed to make more profit.

Pittsburgh, PA has plenty of houses under 100k. Here’s one that’s less than 250 miles away from you. Although this particular one is not a countryside house [1].

> Google's revenues were flat last year but costs were up.

Wrong. Google made 181.69 billion in 2020, 256.74B in 2021 [1] and 283B in 2022 [2]. A 10% YoY increase [2] is better than most of the years they have been public. They possibly made more money in last 2.5 years than all the years they have been public combined.

I thought health insurance puts a cap on how much you can get charged. Could you add a little how that can happen?
