y always do as part of the cover up. Well, how do you know that it's summer? Well, one way is that one of the most interesting stories is about the new head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. I'm hoping that when the summer is over and the news becomes more meaty that I will no longer be talking about the new person at the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. But apparently this new guy E.J. A…
← Previous segment →d at me all the time about which is that I don't talk enough about the H-1B visas. And the reason is that I feel like you have to be pretty close to it to have a smart opinion. And I've never been close to the topic. In other words, I've never worked in a business where I had to hire somebody like that or I was working with a lot of people who had H-1B visas. So I don't have even a glancing experience with it. And so every time I'd read about it, I would say to myself, huh, I'll bet this story in the news is bullshit. And the reason I think that is because all the other stories are. So I feel like not only do I not know enough about the pros and cons of the H-1B, but that I could not learn it by reading the news. I don't think that I could use AI to tell me cuz it looks like it's just a bunch of people lying about stuff.
So here's what I think is true. What I think is true is that there are some well-meaning people who say, let's just use these visas to bring in people from other countries who have very specific skills that for whatever reason Americans can't match. That might make sense. But others say, Scott, you fool. You fool. Don't you realize that the system will be gamed and it will just turn into a way for big companies to replace American workers who might be too expensive with cheaper labor and then pretend there was no way to hire anybody who could have done that job who was already here as an American. So I feel like that captures the argument, right? The argument is if you could do it right, you might get a lot of people to agree with it because it would be a small number of people with specific expertise and we couldn't match it with Americans. But the reality is you could probably match everything. The counterpoint would be there's no such thing as something an American can't do. There is no such thing. You might have to try a little harder to hire an American, but there are Americ

ans who could do all those jobs. So that would be the counterargument, and I don't know which is true, but we'll probably find out because there will be some changes made. All right. Zero Hedge is reporting that according to the Financial Times that the Macron of France secretly hired investigators to dig up dirt on Candace Owens. Because you might know that Candace Owens is being sued by the Mac…
