Good stuff Kevin and sorry to hear you got banned (again). It’s a bit crazy how arbitrary they are with their ‘rulings’. You never know what the judgement from them will be and that’s total bullshit.
Anywho.
Agree with much of your post but I’ll tell you when building complex systems (software in my past life) like electric cars, rockets, AI its very difficult to manage and be fluid in delivery if your teams are offshore and all over the globe (think time zones and work cultures). Having the ability to work out issues in person and in real time is critical. I know Musk has spoken about this ad nauseam and why he insisted his employees come into the office when other CEOs where allowing their employees to work remotely which has proven to be a complete disaster in some industries.
Good points Evan. As always. For TFP daily posts, I can still read and see the comments. I always do "top" first and look for yours. It's really too bad they ignore what you and so many are saying over there. Their work is lazy and shoddy--and full of TDS.
Cancelled TFP yesterday, a few days before subscription expired. Don’t want to start the New Year there. Always enjoyed reading your contributions there Evans. Glad to see you here and JIP now and then.
Enjoyed KD?s rant as usual, but agree with Evans here. Out sourcing is of limited utility (remote work in general is maybe useful if time zone and language and cultural barriers are low). Probably frustrating for the people in the cheap developing country as well as the country paying for their brains. Leave them there and some probably gain enough experience to take their frustration and start their own competitor at home. Which is a great and just outcome for their home country, but bringing them to America while we have enough cachet to keep attracting them is giant freebie for 🇺🇸.
The question is, how to do it right. The main thing I think keeping their salaries low is all the strings that bind them to their current employer ... which the companies both want (cheap indentured servitude) and need (to offset the legal and admin costs of bringing them here). Theoretically if you lower the costs and remove quotas, you get an unrestricted free market and that should let salaries find their level ... which would now be extremely low because you effectively don't have a border. So you need what are effectively quotas. Perhaps the companies that most need the type of talent that truly delivers cutting edge performance should bid for these slots. The second and third tier jobs probably don't need second and third tier talent from overseas, they can make do with homegrown second and third tier talent, at competitive salaries.
There would be plenty of these to go around if kids were educated properly and didn't get degrees like gender studies.
You then have just a small class of indentured servitude, still doesn't sound nice, but put some kind of fixed time limit on it, and at least those people are smart enough to figure out what they're getting into.
Check out the H1B database. These aren't rocket scientists and nanotech researchers coming in on H1B, these are literally 7-Eleven cashiers and dog groomers.
Some fun searches: cashier, golf, pickleball, accountant (the USA graduates 100s of 1000s of accountants per year), laborer (one lady literally has a personal indentured servant), football (a sport literally played in only one country - the USA)
Aside from telling your story far and wide, I'm not sure there's much you can do. I gave up on The Unfree Press months and months ago. After repeated efforts to alert Bari about what was going on, which she basically ignored, it became clear to me that Bari simply has no problem with the direction her brainchild has gone. For a while, I would still look in occasionally when I saw an article on TwiX that sounded promising, but I was usually disappointed.
The fact that they object to your snark but not to Compost's Judenhass and anti-white racism says everyone one needs to know about how they run their comments section.
What they really object to is that I use language that is appropriately harsh to describe Democrats. You can disagree as long as you don’t also point out that they are evil.
Did you ever doubt that Bari and the other sisters of Sapphos (and their mincing brothers) who run the comically UNFree Press all voted en masse for Kamala??????
Luigi Tortellini:). My husband is Italian. No offense taken. The only offensive issue here is a murderer being canonized as a saint and worshipped as a hero. Ah Luigi, the fashion icon who inspired his adoring Democrat cult followers to buy burgandy sweaters just like his?
Cancelled TFP. I did complain about your ban, Kevin. Obviously to no avail.
Bruce, there’s no doubt insurance companies can be morally corrupt. My mother’s long term care insurance company, for one. I suspect most of them are like that as they know elderly people are not likely to fight back or live long enough for a legal battle. It took a village to fight them and get them to pay out- two lawyers, two adult children (brother and me) hounding them constantly, a stellar senior advocate, financial director of assisted living/nursing home and a cast of medical personnel. The company’s own nurse turned against them in favor of my mother. Throughout a fierce battle with that company, it did not occur to me to shoot the CEO!
Great comment and I’m glad I saw it. I work in health and years ago they recruited health care practitioners to sell long term care insurance. They (correctly) thought that we have good rapport with older adults. My thought at the time was, how can I trust that this company will be there for these customers and follow through on their promises? Guess my intuition was right on. Sorry you went through this but I’m glad you won.
Jacque, your intuition was absolutely right on. Just last week, I tossed all of the paperwork from that ordeal in the trash. It was awful, so stressful I myself got very sick. The worst part of the nightmare, and end of the story-my mother was abused in one nursing home. Best day of my life getting her out of there and into a good place. I filed a complaint with the state about the abuse. The state was against me, and for the nursing home. Corruption everywhere. I don’t know what we do about it. More senior advocates? If the government gets involved, forget it. No help at all.
According to Dems now, the healthcare system is so terrible and health insurance companies are so evil that murder is justified.
According to Dems in 2010, Obama fixed the healthcare system and saved a billion lives by making it mandatory to do business with health insurance companies.
Well, I will do my part. When I comment on a Free Press story, I will start it: “I’m no Kevin Durant? but it seems to me…” Of course, I am not going to then note that all Democrats are “crack whores who believe DEI stands for Depravity, Ebonics & Incest” but what I write will still be my one small step for a man.
So far, so good. This is still available on a story about predictions for 2025…
I'm no Kevin Durant? but with regard to the future, I believe many Americans will continue to support and/or give money to beautiful people. How these beautiful people got beautiful and what they did to other people (kill CEOs, act like dogs in endless heat, charge 12-year-olds $250 to hear them sing) will continue not to matter to these particular Americans who are just so smitten with beautiful people.
Kevin, can't you comment without slurring races of people? You seem to keep stepping in the same hole each time you get banned. That is the definition of insanity! I think that it is better to be inside the tent disrupting than outside the tent throwing stones at it. My 2025 goal is to aim for civility and humor. Happy New Year
I agree with you but I was banned for insulting Europe this time. The anti-Italian bigotry, which I think is what you’re referencing, is confined to my own newsletter. I never posted that.
Italian here. Not offended in the least. Taking offense depends on the utterer of the epithet. There’s a big difference between Dave Chappelle and someone like Al Sharpton calling me a dago.
I think TFP always planned to ban Kevin this time around. I think it was a plan if he dared to raise his head again. I also think that TFP is anything but "civil." They are just continuing in the toxic business model of giving what they think is the bulk of their readers what they want to hear. It's clear that they won't or cannot change the way they think/believe. I, for one, just cannot subject myself to TFP anymore--it spoils my day. I only skim comments when I can to find the rebuttals, like Evans'.
Hey, I was banned for a month so I canceled them. I only miss some occasional good posts there but most of it is deranged lunacy. Especially the twaddle posted by Wife Nellie.
That cord you're talking about has been around for a number of years. There's a website that one of my engineers found that lists available talent by subspecialization. For expertise that was going to cost us a couple hundred bucks/hour for doing computational fluid dynamics calculations, we found it for $20/hour--not a typo. And the guy was considerably more responsive than what we found here in the US.
Bottom line: already done, up, and operating nicely.
*************************
Kevin--why are you still self-flagellating over TFP? I didn't renew my sub and I've never looked back. It's better to light a candle than curse the dark. Stop cursing the dark. It's like feeding trolls. It never stops unless you do.
Yea, work that could be done remotely has been outsourced for decades. Not everything can be done via zoom or by phone.
The issue is not so much that everyone they want to bring in are geniuses. Of course, most are not. The problem is, and I am afraid Vivek is right, we simply do not have enough competent professionals and smart engineers. And we do not have them because it is more difficult and labor intensive to major in engineering than business administration or liberal arts. The way we are bringing our kids up, they do not look for challenges but for easy solutions and comfort.
Bravo once again. Thanks for brightening my lonely New Year’s Eve.
I’ve said something similar before but I’ll say it again: Please post your thefp comments here in an open thread which you can update as needed. People like Evans or/and others can post a link in the comments section. Don’t hide your light under a basket (or is the saying bushel?)!
I mostly went to thefp to look for your and Evans comments. Now they have mostly shut off being able to view comments if you aren’t a subscriber so they must know that is what people do.
The most hilarious thing about the Elon spat over on X is everyone getting their knickers in a twist over Elon's "language" when he was just quoting a line from the hilarious movie Tropic Thunder. Everyone seems to have missed this point and think he made it up himself.
Happy New Year Kevin. I agree with someone who already posted. There’s not much you can do to get back in FP (where we really want you back) other than moderate, and attack more subtly from the inside. I tried a “Free Kevin Durant” comment campaign and people jumped on, but that gets old and tired after a while.
As far as this H1-B issue. It’s so frustrating that so few people understand the issue. The big problem is that the number of foreign students graduating from our best tech colleges is huge and growing. The schools get to pick the brilliant students from abroad (who pay full tuition and who are really good, technically speaking), and these slots for foreigners do not go to Americans. So, the competition to employ the graduates who don’t need visas (i.e., Americans) is huge. What’s a tech company to do but hire the foreign graduate and enter the visa “lottery” hoping they can keep them long term? And Evans is right that engineering projects are dramatically more likely to succeed when the team works together, in the US.
Vivek is right that it would be nice if the American kids were more focused ion their studies but he doesn’t understand American kids very well, does he? So changing our culture is off the table, we can either accept the status quo and improve the likelihood that the brilliant foreigners stay in the US (BTW, most want to), or we can start removing the tax exemptions for colleges that accept too many foreign students over their American counterparts.
“changing our culture is off the table”. In that case, we are in trouble. It is a not just American kids, it is the parenting and educational ways that brought us to this state. The problem is not with the higher education IMO. It starts much earlier. Our young kids are behind many third world countries in math and science competitions. It is not reasonable to expect them to become highly skilled professionals. Not in large numbers to satisfy the tech sector needs anyway.
Kevin, sorry to hear of your ongoing ban with TFP. Will miss your comments. Re: H1B’s I will post again what I have posted on other sites but have to ask what the hoopla is all about. It is 65K up to 85K authorized, legal, smart immigrants…don’t we want authorized, legal and smart? I also do not understand why no one is reporting on the actual H1B process vs the miss-information. Anyway here is the post (sorry Kevin this one was to TFP). It would be edifying for TFP to do a deep dive on the H1B, intent of the visa and the mechanics in order to drive out all of the inaccurate comments and assumptions. Here is my comment I placed on another article regarding H1B’s. “Any international HR people here or Immigration attorneys? Years ago I had worked in International HR and part of the responsibilities were H1B visas. What I recall is that there are a limited number issued(approved) by the Feds and thousands of applicants for each position. In addition I recall having to both post the specific job opening in a visible location in the company (break room, message boards…including electronic) and advertise in national papers in the event there are US workers that fit the skill sets required. There was a time limit that was required (which I no longer remember). Granted this was years ago (20) but even a quick Google on this issue states that 65K H1B’s are available annually with another 20K for additional needs and over 400,000 applicants. Compare those numbers to just 1 month of illegal aliens steaming across the border and then argue that: “Yup! Those H1B’s are the problem!””
I could be missing something here. I’m not the smartest guy in the room or even in my own house but I don’t think H1B visa applicants have much to do with our current immigration “issues”. There people don’t generally show up with a variety of exotic diseases, no form of financial support or unknown ideological designs.
H1B visas are granted by the Permanent Regime Activist Democrats in the government who grant visas. This guarantees that the people they pick will disproportionately be enemies of America. Democrats control every single lever of government totally. Nothing can be done until they are all removed.
In addition to that, its sets off a "chain migration" issue. Those in their family "chain" do not need to qualify the same way. Often these "chain" members number in the tens of people, per H1B holder.
Dude, you are pretty spot-on about this stuff and your comments are no snarkier than Nellie's, yours are gooder. Keep trying to get on them on this censorship shit.
Good stuff Kevin and sorry to hear you got banned (again). It’s a bit crazy how arbitrary they are with their ‘rulings’. You never know what the judgement from them will be and that’s total bullshit.

Four of the top ten companies are consulting services. Imported consultants would help explain some of the shite storm America is facing.
Well, then, that surely needs to change
Plus there's ITAR to deal with, and beyond that the reality that the PRC will absolutely steal whatever would be created there.

No doubt $$$ changed hands in your case. Sorry again.
I wonder if he'll inspire a generation of Democrats to stop shaving their unibrow
That'll be the new purple hair, a warning to all sane people.
According to Dems now, the healthcare system is so terrible and health insurance companies are so evil that murder is justified.
According to Dems in 2010, Obama fixed the healthcare system and saved a billion lives by making it mandatory to do business with health insurance companies.
The H1 program needs to be overhauled. As does the education system. I've been saying this for decades.
But as Kevin stated, this country is run and controlled by Democrat communists who absolutely hate America and deep inside hate themselves
Well, I will do my part. When I comment on a Free Press story, I will start it: “I’m no Kevin Durant? but it seems to me…” Of course, I am not going to then note that all Democrats are “crack whores who believe DEI stands for Depravity, Ebonics & Incest” but what I write will still be my one small step for a man.

(Italians are great I just like being offensive)
I'm italian and wasn't offended. Luigi is a murderer. Kevin wasn't using the slurs against all Italians or against a normal italian.
I can see how it sounded offensive. Kevin if you want some other Italian terms, that my friends call amongst ourselves, just ask lol.
🧐🧐✍️✍️
Two things can be true at the same time. Luigi is a murderer. And United is a criminal cabal masquerading as a "health care" company.
