He can have the job... for $7.25 an hour. Maybe he'll get a pat on the head from (F)Elon and his side-kick for helping to eliminate Waste In Gubmit!!!!! The uglyarchy is forced to grudgingly "compensate" the "bloodsucking help" until the "work" can be done by machines. And in the meantime, H1B workers can make up the difference in technical expertise, saving more money by letting foreign governments train the labor we need... more savings!!! And a bigger tip for The First Felon.
