These assholes get taxed 1-2% on their total wealth increases per year - and even that gets offset with their loopholes - meanwhile the average people pay anywhere between 30-50% of just their income (and that doesn't account for other taxes like VAT, property, vehicle and road taxes, and so on).

Because without those visas, the non-American talent can't be employed, and the US simply doesn't have the local talent to fill those spots.

Which means companies will have only one way to keep up with the talent demand: employ it abroad. Which reduces the amount of tax paid to the US government, the amount of money that circulates in the economy, and so on.

You can either pay for a service, or that service will utilise every single aspect of it to monetise you.

And more recent revelations say that Bubba can either be Bill Clinton, or.... Ghislaine Maxwell's horse.

IIRC for the third item, the ex-employee who threw those accusations around turned out to be exaggerating things - but there was a whole ass investigation and Linus did step down as CEO, handing the reins over to a new guy who was literally brought in to fix these things (although to be fair I had the feeling that Linus has been wanting to step back for a while and this gave him an out).

Mind you I'm not saying that there weren't problems (any company that scales as much as LMG did in the past few years will have issues), but that the issues presented to the public by the disgruntled employee were heavily exaggerated.

The difference is the things they drop.

One drops well deserved rants and ass-chewings.

The other drops expensive equipment.
