Please help me understand #H1B visa issuances. Annual #H1Bcap is 85k plus 20k available to adv US degree holders. But in 2024 there were 220k H1B visas issued according to US Dept of State data. Are the rest all extensions?

You can't legitimately go around the world saying there's a "new sheriff in town" whilst ripping up the rules-based system of international politics at the same time. Short term wins perhaps, but at what cost?! #RogueSheriff #RuleOfLaw

#Musk has adopted the term #DOGE, promoting the Dogecoin cryptocurrency and now his Dept of Gov't Efficiency. But did you know that Doge was the name of the highest role of authority within the Republic of Venice (697-1797 CE) and head of the Venetian oligarchy. Doges served for life. #justsaying

People who use their platforms to promote tolerance, often placing themselves in harms way, always impress me immensely. "We were all once strangers in this land". A very eloquent address. youtu.be/ACcD8FA15uY

An interesting observation that perceptions of class are outdated with two thirds of US "working class" employed in service sectors, an area where apprenticeship schemes are often overlooked (and where UK experienced large #apprenticeship growth)

There's an oversimplification that I struggle with when it comes to many of the Generational tags (which seem quite Western in their construct for one). As a 1978 baby this distinction does make sense to me though #GenX #Millennial
