Trust No One?
Following through on The Truth Is Out There?; What ME Worry? and I Want To Believe?...
This disingenuous activity backs "crying wolf" with fraudulent STEM shortage claims. Justifying cheap foreign labor to be imported, and operations to be outsourced and off shored to cheap labor at the margin.
Our favorite lex parsimoniae, Occam's Razor or Rule Number One - Never forget what it's all about Alfie.... always follow the money.
One could have always gone to select WalMart's, where device driver and OS Kernel level programmers can be found, like everything else, for peanuts. This is no joke, here is just one prime example of what has sadly become legion.
A reminder... Investment increases the following: the nation’s capital stock, aggregate production and demand for labor, the economy’s potential output and thus its standard of living in the long run.
Above, in declaring a skills crisis when one spends little to nothing on vocational education and retraining, it looks like somebody is talking out the side of their mouth. Specifically corporate employers, whom have convinced the government and unsuspecting public that a non existent STEM shortage constitutes a labor crisis.
In order to perpetuate this manufactured lie, are the public allowing government, corporate and monetary policy based in false doctrine to sacrifice our future on the altar of money? And what are the long term consequences of such?
More to come in What ME Worry? Part 2, stay tuned, no flippin.

"All lies lead to the truth... the human resources department does not exist for the benefit of employees. HR exists only to advance the institutional agenda, profit, and provide insulation from liability.
To believe otherwise is the epitome of utter foolishness and naivete.
It's not hard to find qualified top level programmers or STEM personnel in the US. But that's only if one is looking to hire domestically, pay a fair wage and perhaps hire someone over the Logan's Run age limit of 30.
Yet, the bulk of so called STEM job openings are non existent, and have been created by the employers to "go through the motions", giving the illusion that there is a "shortage"."As part of the propaganda campaign, the unsuspecting public is treated to widely parroted canards such as this...
“McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) reported that while half of the companies they surveyed planned to expand employment over the coming year, 40 percent of these companies also say they have had positions open for six months or more because they cannot find the ideal candidates.” - US Chamber Of CommerceDeny Knowledge... If one carefully reads job descriptions and requirements, one discovers these so called open jobs, are baked up dream lists for which one in 8 billion could not match or fill the position. Yet, these "openings" constitute a "crisis".

Focusing on the former foreign students now working in the US--exactly the group extolled by the industry as "the best and the brightest"--I find that relative to comparable US natives, the immigrants tend to earn less, submit fewer patent applications and be less likely to be working in R and D positions.
On a variety of measures, the former foreign students have talent lesser than, or equal to, their American peers. Skilled-foreign-worker programs are causing an internal brain drain in the United States. - Economic Policy Institute PaperTempus Fugit... Some have bought entire companies to get "good" STEM personnel or programmers? Only those who did not know how to look, were not looking in earnest to start with or were misled in their search by false prophets for false "profits".
