U.S. suspends Microsoft, Adobe from green card labor program in foreign worker crackdown (www.cnbc.com)

The U.S. Department of Labor announced it would suspend Microsoft and Adobe from its Permanent Labor Certification program on Thursday, Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling said, as the Trump administration continues to take aim at immigration and foreign hiring programs ahead of November’s midterm elections.

Sonderling said the Labor Department won’t accept or process any new applications under the program for a host of companies, including Cognizant, Infosys, Capgemini, Tata, Wipro and HCL.

The secretary said Adobe and Microsoft were also suspended “due to multiple active federal investigations.”

“Since 2009, just these companies alone have requested almost 3 million foreign workers. They’ve received over 230,000 H-1B visas approvals and over 100,000 permanent labor certifications. That’s hundreds of thousands of jobs that were taken from American workers,” Sonderling said.

This isn't even the first time they've done corrupt shit like this. They got caught colluding with Apple and I think IBM to keep programmers salaries deflated by not hiring them when they left one of the other companies.

Thankfully they got in trouble for that, but not enough trouble. Bill Gates is a sick, sadistic creep (read up on his affair, connections to Epstein and how he tried to drug his wive with medications to treat an STI he gave her.)

Preach! I’ve hated Microslop for years, if anything I’m happy that the rest of the world has been waking up to it all

Probably helps that everything post Windows 7 has sucked.

Ngl, I got sucked into the whole ‘PedOS 10 will be the last version of PedOS! We’ll just keep pushing updates!!!’

And we all know how that went 💀

It's all trash. They should've just charged us to continue to maintain win 7. I'd have bought another license for an additional 10 years of regular updates.
