Federal loans are not dischargeable, which are way way worse than this.

Do they tell students they may be saddled with debt for 30 years and that the cost of tuition is much larger than the incomes they get from their majors?

I'm sure Peter Roberts is a fine professional, however, I have passed border patrol/immigration personally this way dozens of times and know of many other people who do it. You can find people doing this in an instant if you want.

I once got in trouble with BP because they didn't believe me that I was coming in to work on a project and thought I would be looking for a job to stay illegally. BP finally decided to let me in and told me that what I was doing was fine, but they just didn't find it credible that I would leave my GF alone for a month in Argentina.

Sorry, but this can't be right. Companies fly in people on B2 visas all the time to do onboarding, work on specific projects for a short period, and participate in offsites.

I've done this 10+ times in my career, for big and small companies, and it was never an issue even when explicitly saying these things with border patrol/immigration.

What gets you in trouble at the border is the risk of permanently staying, and the risk of drugs&money.

There's the internet.

Why not creation of wealth?

If only you applied the same logic to americans

I dont know, but companies need to keep hiring because of both staff turn over and switch of priorities. Presumably, the people getting hired are for positions that are perceived more valuable by management than the work people being let go are doing.

And of course, companies also have practical right to make mistakes, from overstaffing to understaffing, or to place bets that do well or do not.

The point is that these things would happen even if things were being run perfectly, so they are not indicative of nefarious practices or abuses.

The H1b requirement is the loophole to prevent americans from hiring non-americans. A world without loopholes is a world without H1Bs.

I don't see why that is inconsistent. Companies doing layoffs keep hiring people, what are the news?

You can start your own company, service or product and own 100%. In tech there's pretty much no excuse, anyone can make money online.

It's not related to capitalism or labor organization. It's that the relationship between profits and wages is misunderstood. If you want your income to be completely tied to the business results, you want to be a business owner.

There is no sociopathy, it is a simple enterprise where someone absorbs the risk and others don't - it is collaboration.

Wages are not downstream of profits - they are a price in a market for labor. If companies could pay 0 they would pay 0, and if employees could charge infinite they would charge infinite.

It's better this way - otherwise employees at companies that make no money would have to take no salary.

This is true, and yet, deficit is still growing. Welcome the united states of Argentina.

You would be wrong. This is the social media channel of a VC, specifically one that was impacted and lobbied for depositor safety on this very topic.
