| schestowitz[TR2] | "Unemployment rate is political (= has political implications, that is), so when unemployment numbers will start to go up and show in the stats meaningfully or substantially, the impact of all of this will then be different. | Sep 06 03:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Meaning, tech workers had (historically, of course this may change) relatively high salaries, so tech jobs get reduced and salaries go down (the folks that they are hiring are not being offered "what used to be"), unemployment goes up, overall consumer consumption is also felt, economy slows down, growth goes down (perhaps a recession?)" | Sep 06 03:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | So, folks, it's happening, macro unemployment figures tell us that the "offshoring and near shoring party went way too far" and is no longer a joke. | Sep 06 03:57 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | The Trump administration previously made efforts to tighten the H1B visa regime, significantly impacting Indian tech workers who form the bulk of that visa category. However, the new front being opened here goes beyond immigration and touches the core of India’s IT exports, a multi-billion dollar industry that services Fortune 500 companies across sectors like banking, healthcare, retail and tech. | Sep 06 03:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Why this matters | Sep 06 03:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | India is not just a labour exporter through H1B visas. It is a global hub for IT services and remote outsourcing. Indian firms like TCS, Infosys, Wipro and hundreds of smaller players provide mission-critical IT, cloud, data management and cybersecurity services to US companies. In fact, the US is India's largest market for IT and business process services, and the rise of Global Capability Centres (GCCs), set up by American multin | Sep 06 03:57 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Tariffs on outsourcing? Trump advisor Navarro puts issue into focus as US tech workers cheer | Sep 06 03:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Donald Trump's advisor and tariff expert, Peter Navarro recently reposted a demand that tariffs should apply to foreign remote workers and outsourcing. | Sep 06 03:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The post, originally made on September 1 by right-wing activist and former US Navy intelligence officer Jack Posobiec, argued that foreign remote workers and outsourcing should be subject to tariffs: “Countries must pay for the privilege of providing services remotely to the US the same way as goods. Apply across industries, leveled as necessary per country,” he wrote. | Sep 06 03:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | This comes amid Trump’s sweeping tariff measures, with India and Brazil facing some of the steepest rates, as high as 50 percent. Statista analysis showed that the US is a major player in the IT outsourcing market, with the highest revenue being generated there. | Sep 06 03:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | While it remains unclear whether services will actually enter the tariff crosshairs, many online are demanding just that. Tech workers, in particular, have cheered the notion that tariffs might target the Indian IT sector, while also calling for incentives to bolster US labor. | Sep 06 03:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Many demand tariff outsourcing | Sep 06 03:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | One person, flagging US data that for the first time there are more unemployed Americans than job postings, said “We need to stop these Visa worker programs for the first time in forever there are more people seeking jobs than there are jobs available. We need to prioritize Americans for these positions. We need to tariff outsourcing to other countries. Let’s take America back.” | Sep 06 03:57 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | TRUMP: WE WILL CRUSH INDIA TECH WORK | Sep 06 03:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Trump is reportedly considering banning American tech companies from outsourcing their work to India, and Silicon Valley is sweating bullets. | Sep 06 03:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Here’s why this is huge: For decades, U.S. companies have sent IT work overseas because it’s cheaper. | Sep 06 03:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | In fact, by 2023, they spent a jaw-dropping $132B on outsourcing, with nearly 4 out of 10 tech jobs shipped abroad. | Sep 06 03:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Most of that work went to India, which has built a $62B industry off American companies alone. | Sep 06 03:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | But Trump’s message is simple: if U.S. firms stop sending jobs to India, American workers win. | Sep 06 03:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Supporters say it could bring back around 300,000 jobs a year that have been leaving the country. | Sep 06 03:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Critics warn it could spark trade tensions with India, which has dominated outsourcing for decades thanks to lower costs. | Sep 06 03:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | This wouldn’t be Trump’s first move. | Sep 06 03:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Back in his first term, he introduced rules to curb outsourcing, too, and now he’s hinting at doubling down. | Sep 06 03:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | If the ban actually happens, it could be one of the biggest shake-ups in tech and trade in years, hitting India’s economy hard and forcing U.S. companies to either hire at home or pay the price. | Sep 06 03:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | This is from July 2025: | Sep 06 03:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | ‘America first’: Trump targets Google, Microsoft for outsourcing Indian hires | Sep 06 03:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | President Donald Trump on Wednesday slammed big American tech firms for shifting manufacturing to China and hiring workers from India while speaking at the AI Summit in Washington D.C. | Sep 06 03:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | “Many of our largest tech companies have reaped the blessings of American freedom while building their factories in China, hiring workers in India and slashing profits in Ireland, you know that,” Trump said. He stated such practice will not be tolerated, saying, “All the while dismissing and even censoring their fellow citizens right here at home. Under President Trump, those days are over.” | Sep 06 03:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | His comments came as he signed off on three executive orders focused on strengthening the U.S. artificial intelligence sector. One of them is a broad White House strategy called the America’s AI Action Plan that lays out steps to keep the U.S. ahead in the global AI race. | Sep 06 03:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Trump called on homegrown tech giants like Google and Microsoft to take a more patriotic route in how they run their businesses, pushing for what he described as an “America First” approach that better serves national priorities. “We need U.S. technology companies to be all in for America. We want you to put America first.... | Sep 06 03:57 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | If the cost savings achieved through layoffs and job transfers to India are so good, why isn't Alvind paid in Indian rupees instead of US dollars? It would save IBM a bundle, and get more money into the shareholders' pockets. And if you replace Alvind by AI, think of the increased cost savings....you'll have a perpetual money making machine. And you don't have to pay the Tamil crook anything. | Sep 06 21:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | That is all giveback value to shareholders. | Sep 06 21:45 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | You cannot trust them in a million years even with their pious looks - just look at Alvind and Modi as typical examples of leaders who speak with forked tongues. | Sep 06 21:47 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | All the interesting postings about the H1B crooks and Chinese students have conveniently disappeared from this site. MIA again, eh RT ? A lot of uncorroborated stats remain. | Sep 06 21:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | H1B visas for IT need to be stopped and unnecessary IT staff need to be sent home, as thieves like Alvind pillage companies like IBM, lay off Americans and transfer jobs to you know where...50% tariffs was the start, it should also apply to jobs which have been stolen also. The US jobs figures and AI changes make that a necessity. | Sep 06 21:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The inconvenient truth always hurts, doesn't it ? Maybe this post will disappear also like the ones from yesterday. | Sep 06 21:47 |
