The judges ruling was uneducated and poorly based, especially considering how the big four got to be so big. It was politically motivated to make the party/gov look good, but the long term results were good for nobody. I lost money betting on the merger, it makes no sense it got blocked.
H1b is really not fair. They have virtually no negotiation standing without risking their immigration status. They are underpaid and subsidized, and drive domestic wages down. Among many simple reforms they should execute, a big one would be tonseperate the sponsor company from the visa. Which would allow them to negotiate and have more agency.
There is also a corporate greed, which is leaking into tech with commoditization, problem in America where fewer and fewer companies treat their employees as assets and rather treat them as cogs. People are loosing their tolerance.
This doesn’t work for the internet because anyone can access the target from anywhere.
We already do this to a degree with trusted CA centralization and there are recorded incidents (pretty frequently) of major breaches and state actors posing as various entities.
The stakes are also different, stealing a car is hard to do when it has physical security and has physical consequences. It’s also not worth a whole lot after because it’s hot. Stealing somebody’s identity is worth a whole lot more, hard to if even possible recover from and can be done remotely from anywhere.
I think centralization around brokers is a terrible idea. Look at Equifax, the audit after revealed it was only a matter of time before somebody utilized the multiple gaping completely negligent holes they had. The resulting fine for leaking every man, woman, and child’s ssn, birthdate, address, and drivers license was the equivalent of a few dollars to them.
