I'm curious about how companies that rely a lot on immigration to fill positions how they are going to convince people to move to the US and work from home.

Can't speak in LA, but in Switzerland where almost no one has AC it definitely does not cool enough during the night. During the summer even if I keep the windows closed all day I cannot get the temperature below 26-27 degrees. The main difference though is that I was not trying to work in this conditions as my office had AC.

You definitely need to tell your manager though.

EDIT: one personal example is at some point I took some external classes and used 20℅ time for it. But most cases are for developing some sort of tools or product.

Depends where you are. You'll probably make way more in Switzerland than in the US for equivalent positions.

One of their offering under technology is converting computer programs with loops to ones without loops. Can anyone help me understand what the point of that is?
