When we created solana:9voQQTTdfbqfXwc9rZAdJEeXXjUWjHnB4wkShMT8pump we had the vision to start a movement around job displacement from AI and foreigners.
It has been 6 months.
We don't talk about the coin much, but we really appreciate those of you that have supported us along the way.
Cheers to 6 more months.

ADMINISTRATION ALL IN ON H-1B NARRATIVE AHEAD OF MIDTERMS
JD just weighed in today, but the order is from September 18th. We expect the language around this to only intensify as this becomes a HUGE issue going into the elections. We just pray that this is for the right reasons, and not political theater.
The order tells the agencies reviewing H-1B applications to weigh an employer's "recent or planned layoffs of similarly situated U.S. workers."
DOL has 30 days to start auditing past H-1B filings. The order gives Labor's Wage and Hour Division until october 18 to begin reviewing past labor condition applications for enforcement against sponsoring employers.
2026 announced cuts vs FY2026 H-1B filings, per layoffhedge:
Amazon 17,379 / 20,007
Meta 16,000 / 5,197
Intel 15,000 / 1,746
Microsoft 13,682 / 5,126
At least 54 of the 89 companies with 1,000+ cuts filed this year.
Our message to corporate America is simple: We’re not going to let you lay off American workers so you can replace them with cheap foreign labor.

CHASE EMPLOYS OVER 60,000 ON INDIA
Wonder why he would make comments like this? Because he’s only worried about protecting his footprint in the country.
He is in India right now, outlining Chase’s expansion plans in the country.
“When I first got here (in 2005), I think we had 6,000 employees. We now have 60,000 employees across lots of technical areas and investment banking.”

KROGER CEO SPECIALIZES IN OUTSOURCING AMERICAN JOBS
Yael is not the only one brought in to cut cost at Americans expense.
Greg Foran, the man who cut 7,000 back office jobs at Walmart and shipped them to India, is now Kroger CEO.
Greg Foran became Kroger CEO on February 9. At Walmart US he ran the 2016 program that pulled accounting and invoicing out of every store and erased 7,000 back office jobs. In 2018 Walmart outsourced its finance and accounting operations to Genpact, a firm with most of its workforce in India.
Kroger announced a "Global Capability Center" on Foran's first earnings call. Investors were told it will "streamline decision-making" and modernize how the company operates.
Consultant Brittain Ladd, citing people inside Kroger, reports the center is in Bangalore and the target is $500M a year in labor savings. At $87,500 saved per offshored role, that math works out to roughly 5,700 US jobs. A source close to the company confirms layoffs are coming and disputes only the size.

Amazon and Cognizant have at the same time hired more H-1B employees than any other company in FY2026, ranking 1 and 2 respectively
How do we allow our state governments to do this?

Crypto is cutting. Kalshi is hiring.
Block cut 40% of its staff this year. Gemini roughly 30%. Coinbase 14%. Crypto.com 12%.
Kalshi's own chart: 10% of crypto prediction volume in January, 91% this week. They're hiring.
You just have to know where to look.
I’m hiring an Institutional Sales & Operations growth specialist 👀
Over the last year I’ve thrown myself fully at crypto markets growth on Kalshi and you can see the results below.
I’m hiring someone I can unleash on institutional growth to help me do the same thing…again…on PERPS…using the playbook I’ve already proved works.
You’ll work very closely with me and @BandmanJeff to get Kalshi Perps in front of hundreds of net-new institutional trading teams and bring them into the fold.
Sourcing, relationship-forming, onboarding, integrating, launching live. You’ll own these relationships end-to-end and cultivate them just like I did to build the liquidity pool and institutional maker/taker profile that lives on the predictions side of the exchange today.
I need someone gritty enough that I can trust with attention-to-detail intensive tasks surrounding relationship management, but confident, capable, and charismatic enough to send on a 1v5 against Wall Street suits while pitching our products.
It’ll likely be the most challenging job of your life, but also the most fun and rewarding.

WORLD LEADERS FALLING DEATHLY ILL AFTER BRICS SUMMIT IN INDIA
And South Africa's Deputy President Paul Mashatile is ALSO out. Hasn't been seen in public since July, recovering from an undisclosed "minor medical procedure." The country's top two officials are sidelined at the same time, seven weeks before elections.
Then there's Xi.
Reports out of China claim he lost consciousness after the summit, had a stroke, and got flown by military helicopter to the 301 Hospital in Beijing. The official record says he attended day two and left New Delhi at noon on schedule. But he skipped Modi's gala dinner on September 12 and nobody has explained why. Beijing has said nothing. So the stroke stays a rumor for now. The skipped dinner is real.
Scoreboard: one confirmed sick president, one deputy already down, and one superpower leader trailed by hospital rumors his own government won't touch. All within 96 hours of the same summit.
Maybe a bug went around a crowded venue. Maybe it’s something else.

A university in Irvine runs a doctorate that 375 students were scheduled to finish in 2024. Zero of them finished on time. The program handed out six degrees. Westcliff University.
The same school teaches the same doctorate online. That version graduated 11 on time.
Foreign students cannot choose the online one. Federal rules cap how much online coursework counts toward a student visa, which puts F-1 students in the in-person track. That track costs $56,400. It is the one with zero.
Across all seven years California has published both tracks, 2018 through 2024, the in-person one finished worse every time.
Orange County’s Trine with Gurukul Connection
Westcliff University sits on Von Karman Ave in Irvine. 7,686 students. 4,204 are international — 55%. Almost all graduate. For-profit. Day-1 CPT.
Students show up one weekend a semester, then work full-time the other eleven weeks. Same playbook as Trine — minimal in-person, maximum work authorization. These are not educational institutions. These are visa mills.

The 1971 $3.50 ticket admitted guests to the park only. Additional tickets were needed for each ride. Modern one-day tickets include unlimited access to rides and attractions. $3.50 in 1971 has the same buying power as about $28.50 today.

What’s going on here @SenatorBanks?
A small university in Indiana keeps a second, separately registered federal record that almost nobody opens. On that record sit 9,123 graduate students, 98.3% of them foreign nationals. Trine University.
Trine paid roughly $16 million to a single recruiting agency that runs its offices out of Hyderabad and Warangal. The person that agency lists as its contact is the same person Trine's own press release calls its director of international graduate student recruitment.
None of those payments appear anywhere in eleven years of Trine's audited financial statements.
This is their graduating class.

WE RERAN THE 2020 CENSUS FOR HOUSE SEATS
Counting illegals in census is absurd. This actually matters.
Remove every noncitizen from the count and five House seats move.
California 52 to 48.
Texas 38 to 37.
Idaho, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia each gain one.
WHY ISN’T THE CENSUS ALREADY LIKE THIS?
House seats and Electoral College votes are divided by counting every person in the country. That includes illegal immigrants and temporary visa holders like foreign students and H-1B workers. None of them can vote, but their headcount decides which states gain seats and steers over $2 trillion in federal funding each decade.
A rule filed September 10 would end that for 2030. Only citizens and green card holders would count for apportionment.
What changes if it goes through:
The money. Census data guides about $2 trillion in federal spending every year. Medicaid, Title I schools, highways, school lunch. Formulas run on population counts. If a state's count drops, its share of that money drops with it, and states with fewer noncitizens pick up the difference.
Seats move between states. Pew estimated that excluding just illegal immigrants from the 2020 count would have cost California, Texas and Florida one seat each, with Alabama, Minnesota and Ohio each gaining one. Excluding all noncitizens would have cost California 3 seats. This rule lands between those two numbers since green card holders still count.
Electoral College votes move with the seats. Each state's electoral votes equal its House delegation plus 2.
Verification changes. Residence would be confirmed with tax filings and DHS records instead of self-reported addresses. A citizenship question on the form is back on the table, and some race and ethnicity questions would be cut.
This has never been done in US history and the Supreme Court has never ruled on whether it is constitutional. Public comment is open for 30 days.
