Another word on H1-B's "necessity"

Reading this article in Network World, I finally have come up with the word that perfectly describes what all the claims by Bill Gates et al that we need more H1-B visas because there's just not a single person in the entire US that can do the stuff Microsoft and others need:

Bullshit

If Billy, or any of his cohorts expect us to believe that out of the millions of people old enough to have graduated college and work for Microsoft in this country, the country that invented the Internet, that somehow, there's some skill that is completely nonexistent, that no one in the entire USA possesses, or can be trained to do, then he really does think we're all just fucking stupid.

Kiss my ass Bill. You're lying, and you know it. So is everyone else making that claim. What you want are young workers so eager to be here that they'll put up with whatever shit you want to run them through. You want to hire people from overseas, cool. I've a friend from Australia that was just hired by Google, and I'm thrilled for him.

But don't try to justify it by saying that Americans are too stupid to work for Microsoft.

Because that, old sod, is Bullshit writ fucking large.

Maybe the problem isn't that there's no one here smart enough to work for you. Maybe the problem is that we're just to smart to believe your bullshit anymore.
