“#Big Tech\u2019s praise for Biden will make most people prefer Trump<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n The two dozen tech geniuses who endorsed Joe Biden in a recent New York Times letter<\/a> showed an obliviousness all too typical of the industry. Biden and running mate Kamala Harris \u201clisten to experts before setting public policy,\u201d they claim \u2014 which evidently means they\u2019ll favor the tech industry\u2019s preferences when it comes to immigration policy.<\/p>\n

The 24 winners of the Turing Award, aka the Nobel Prize of programming, don\u2019t run the Big Tech companies. But they clearly join in the industry\u2019s upset over H-1B visas, which normally allow for the recruitment of immigrants with specialized skills \u2014 until President Trump suspended them in April and later extended that through year\u2019s end.<\/p>\n

Millions of Americans are out of work thanks to a virus that\u2019s jumped around the world, and Big Tech is upset that it can\u2019t hire as much cheaper foreign labor.<\/p>\n

Unemployment has dropped<\/a> from the 23 million jobless when Trump stopped the H-1Bs, but it\u2019s still 13.6 million. In all, the administration figures its suspension of various work visas (also including many H-2Bs, J-1s and L-1s) will have freed up an estimated 525,000 jobs for struggling Americans.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the tech industry has done enormously well by the pandemic and lockdowns, with Amazon in particular booming.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s baffling that a group of geniuses can\u2019t see how plainly dumb it is to be complaining about travel<\/a> restrictions in a global pandemic \u2014 especially when their companies have prospered throughout the Trump years. (Then again, as Eric Spitznagel notes nearby, Silicon Valley\u2019s bigwigs often pride themselves on their lack of empathy.)<\/p>\n

Along with top execs from Google, App<\/a>le, Amazon and Microsoft, Tesla CEO Elon Musk slammed Trump\u2019s H-1B move in June. Meanwhile, Musk\u2019s net worth skyrocketed this summer to make him one of the five richest people in the world.<\/p>\n

And most Americans just don\u2019t see the gripe. An NPR poll found<\/a> 78 percent support, broadly bipartisan, for temporarily closing the border except for essential travel. Over half also support a ban on foreign guest and seasonal workers.<\/p>\n

In short, Big Tech\u2019s reasons for supporting Biden look to most people like a point in Trump\u2019s favor. It\u2019s not so much about \u201clistening to experts\u201d as it is recognizing that the experts can be as short-sighted and selfish as anyone.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
