• MEDIA: HP, This Is Getting Old: Age Discrimination in Silicon Valley

    From John D Groenveld@21:1/5 to All on Tue Oct 3 11:27:37 2023
    Morris Dees and $PLC certified deplorable, George Fishman on whether
    Susie Wiles sees support among potential Donald Trump voters for
    including legacy American proles in America's anti-freedom of
    association laws and regulations: <URL:https://cis.org/Fishman/HP-Getting-Old-Age-Discrimination-Silicon-Valley> | Unfortunately, the GAO then decided not to evaluate these
    | allegations, stating that its analysis "does not provide a test of
    | this theory because it does not identify what the wages of older
    | U.S. IT professionals would have been in the absence of the H-1B
    | program, nor does it account for the myriad factors affecting wage,
    | for which we lack data". That's the GAO for you.
    |
    | In any event, it certainly seems like Silicon Valley has rebooted
    | the 60's saying "Don't trust anybody over 30" -- turning it into the
    | mantra "Don't employ anybody over 35." Maybe it would even like to
    | emulate the 70's sci-fi classic Logan's Run, set in a domed city
    | where "nobody's allowed to live more than 30 years".

    Does Wiles worry that Ron DeSantis could resuscitate the Never Back
    Down campaign by inviting the likes of Mike Emmons onto Miriam Adelson,
    Robert Bigelow, Walter Buckley, Betsy DeVos, Ken Griffin, Julia Koch,
    Bernie Marcus, Lachlan Murdoch, Thomas Peterffy, Bruce Rauner, Chris
    Reyes, David Sacks and Steve Wynn's campaign stage to stump for an
    immigration moratorium?
