Baker's choice. Dense with flavour, light on filler.
Summary
The article criticizes corporations like Instacart for allegedly hiding job openings from US citizens while favoring foreign workers through visa programs like H-1B. It examines the Immigration Act of 1990, which was supposed to bring "exceptionally talented people" but has instead created a system where companies can bypass American workers. The piece argues this practice undermines domestic employment opportunities and questions whether Americans should be prohibited from sharing job information with each other.
