Thread regarding IBM layoffs

Ginni Rometty, Tim Cook, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos and other tech CEOs warn of 'significant costs' and 'disruptions' if Congress doesn't save

"But business leaders have a message for Congress: Pass a law to save DACA Dreamers by January 18 or you will be causing US companies a lot of disruption and expense."

". . .a lot of disruption and expense." Really? At last official count, there were only 31 Dreamers employed by IBM. How many IBM employees will be RA'd in the coming month? Losing 31 Dreamers won't even be noticed in comparison to the coming bloodbath.

Seems Big Blew lost 1 Dreamer in the last couple of years, but still are doing their utmost to protect (actually, exploit) the remaining 30 for purposes of high-order corporate virtue-signaling. It's too bad Big Blew doesn't output a tenth of the effort to truly protect and highlight their older workers, opting rather to do just the opposite and discard them as quickly as they are able.

Open letter (with IBM as one of the signatories) sent from members of the Coalition for the American Dream to President Trump urging him not to make any changes to DACA:

Forget all the political posts - it is just the H1-B VISA issues that have the Department of Commerce hand in hand with American management which STILL outsources jobs to India --- low salary expense and about zero benefit expenses. So the tech biggies LOVE OUTSOURCING.

What does spending $25 billion on a stupid wall solve? Most drugs and illegals come over via ships, planes, drones, trucks, cars, even submarines. Walls can be tunneled under, laddered over. Nobody wants to come here anymore, we're widely despised and hated because of what we've become. Walls are 15th century solution. perhaps a moat also, so Trumps contractor friends can get rich raping our government (your tax money) on that too?

Most dreamers want the wall built as well. (when asked) All Trump wants is the funding for the wall included in the deal. So, wtf is the problem? Schumer and co. <<< is

So, -ynw, are we safe in assuming that you're a Native American? Otherwise, once upon a time, we can probably assume that your grandparents or great-grandparents were the 'dreamers' that came here full of hope, trying to escape some 'hole' for a better life for their descendants (aka - you)?
