Sports Illustrated domain just became a lot more valuable…

To celebrate, we launched a coin around our mascot that is backed by the original $LAYOFF token, using the technology of @lesgodotfun Good luck, have fun, and thanks for the support. 4qTMFNnxjxECZxDCmzksc9eAMBVGRu3WJzjPer2AvaMM

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.

SINCE 2022: 708,762 U.S. tech job cuts announced. 702,400 H-1B visas issued to Indian nationals. If you truly think this is a coincidence, you are not paying attnetion.

To be fair - the program was made by Bush 1 under the influence of corporate lobbyists. They sought high skilled yet cheap labor, so it was never an ideal solution. Now it’s lower skilled, cheaper labor, and rampant with fraud.

People like Larry are who the H-1B program was made for. Unfortunately, the program is not full of 400,000 (counting renewals) Larry’s a year anymore. Abolish and start over.

Blaze Reporter Sara Gonzales just exposed an H-1B Sponsor for Scamming the Visa system. He has since shut the company down and fled the country. I asked the DOL Inspector General whats going to happen to him. He said he is going to hunt him down and put in chains. "The real sign is going to be us holding these people accountable, holding the companies accountable, whether it's civil penalties and obviously holding those accountable who are breaking the law. And for those people, we have plenty of sets of handcuffs ready for them." "We have a FBI director that flat out has told us there is no state you can hide in, there's no country you can hide in, there's no continent that you can hide in. We will send agents and we will find you and we will extradite you back to the United States of America." Lock them all up @USLaborIG Amazing reporting @SaraGonzalesTX

FLOCK OFFERS BUYOUTS TO ROUGHLY 1,500 EMPLOYEES Flock Safety sells to cities, and 93 city and county governments cut ties in August alone. One source told WIRED that without the buyouts, layoffs were almost certain. Five days later, Semafor reported Flock is weighing a sale.

STARBUCKS CLOSES 250 STORES THIS WEEK WHILE OFFSHORING JOBS TO INDIA About 1% of its U.S. and Canada locations, with a $300M charge and no job count disclosed. Three days earlier it signed for a Chennai tech center with about 800 jobs. Corporate cuts this year: 585.

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.

NEVER FORGET: JAMIE DIMON WAS RUNNING CHASE WHEN WE BAILED IT OUT March 2008: the Fed put up $29 billion to pull Bear Stearns' worst assets off the books so Dimon could buy what was left. October 2008: $25 billion of TARP money into JPMorgan. Dimon sat on the New York Fed's board through all of it. Class A director since January 2007. Here is how Dimon paid us back. H-1B approvals at JPMorgan, USCIS data: FY2009, the bailout year: 497 FY2025: 3,068 In total? 31,438 approvals since the year we wrote the check. That makes Chase the 9th largest H-1B sponsor in the country. No other bank cracks the top 25. India headcount over the same years, Dimon's own number: 6,000 to 60,000. The Mumbai campus Dimon is building seats 30,000 and opens in 2029. Jamie Dimon has zero gratitude for what this country has done for his bank.

Are you for ads that could interrupt games after boss fights? Just seems... not ideal

AI is creating more jobs for SENIOR engineers. The pathway to becoming a senior engineer has just become infinitely harder. CS grads now have the same unemployment as Anthropology and Fine Arts majors.

H-1B APPROVALS BY PRESIDENT 6.4M petitions since 2009. 94.0% approved. Obama 94.5%. Trump I 88.4%. Biden 97.7%. Trump II 97.4% so far. Up until now, it has not mattered who's president. Will that change the last two years of Trump?

That’s 60,000 jobs that should be in America.

Microsoft latest XBOX layoffs impact over 260 employees, primarily within Halo studios. Here is the email sent to the teams impacted. Microsoft (including Xbox) rank top 8 in the hiring of H-1B employees. This is while conducting multiple rounds of mass layoffs.

MORE XBOX LAYOFFS Guess who’s at it again…
