Lol we tricked an entire generation into oversaturating the STEM market so Lockheed Martin could get cheaper labor :3

There 4 billion recent STEM students in China taking the future away from the west.

The amount of STEM students isn't the problem it's how we are using them

It's both. The tech giants and the defense sector pushed for "everyone should learn to code" because it increases the labor pool, but they gladly take H1B visas at the same time. Their intention is the same for both, more laborers makes for cheaper labor

Yea I know.

Its not a business failing though it is a government failing. Whsts the point of having a government if they don't fix shit like this? That's what they are for.
