H-1B has costs/benefits. It's often abused, doesn't allow workers to switch jobs, but can invoke productive complementarities. All that said, why spring it on industry like this?! What possible rationale is there for such a shock??!! It's always amateur hr w this crowd.

I did not fully appreciate how the BLS's staff efforts to “publish reliable data” could become an act of bravery in the struggle to preserve democracy. But that’s exactly what it is. econjared.substack.com/p/a-contrast-i…

How does this work? Research shows importers now passing 60+% forward to consumers, who wouldn't get rebates (they'd maybe get lower prices). So, a windfall for the importers. Shouldn't a heads-up legal system should seen "irreparable damages" problem here & blocked it earlier??
