this is the logical conclusion of outsourcing: we kept giving away the low end electronics and now we can't compete on the high end w/o government subsidy

the supply chain moved to asia and the just so stories about ricardian free trade + an inflated stock market made everyone believe, while the ultra-rich got ultra-ultra-rich

and now we sit down to our banquet of consequences

Your comment actually is racist though.

You have no idea if those Indians are here on a visa, greencard, or have American citizenship.

You just see brown people, some of whom may or may not have accents, and are angry they’re making “six figure salaries” while people you define as Americans (I wonder how your Americans look like) are “struggling to put food on the table.”

I am not one of these people who spend their lives on Twitter or Bluesky or whatever calling everything under the sun racist. But your comment here is actual racism.
