Victory Lap

The headline reads "Amazon takes victory lap for its role in halting Trump's travel ban" ... see: NY Post Article. Jeff Bezos, a descendent of immigrants, obviously has emotional reasons for lending Amazon's corporate resources to help Washington state in fighting Trump's temporary immigration ban from seven terrorist-prone countries. But he also has a pragmatic rationale ... in that his company hires oodles of H1-b immigrants ... a popular cost-saving strategy in the high-tech industry ... and a win-win since these execs are also viewed as being full of good intentions.

But it is not just salary cost savings that Bezos is seeking ... it's the warm bodies themselves. For, you see dear reader, Amazon has annual employee turnover of about 40%, an unsustainable number from a static population of workers ... see:  Vanity Fair Article. He also gets tax breaks for hiring these foreign job seekers. So obviously many of these poor H1-b souls, who are being used as Amazon kindling wood, may not find the golden future that they had sought when they immigrated here.

Isn't it funny? There is always more to the story than first reported.

I wonder what happens to all those immigrants who Amazon hires and spits out?
