Fixed that for you.

Affirmative action and mass immigration.
Why pay an American when you can pay an H1B Visa 75 cents on the dollar?

HR is some shit right out of 1984.

Those motherfuckers have more power in society that cops now. Literally deciding who gets a job and who starves to death.

Additionally, HR do fucking nothing for those who are in the company. It's an excuse for management to farm out awkward questions with 0 responsibility.

H1B are an objective problem, and there is evidence of many major tech companies paying them significantly less than American workers in the same job

Mass immigration, especially illegal immigration, drives down the value of entry level jobs, and many businesses ouyright break the law by paying them less than minimum wage.
