I am in this whatsapp group of some frankly incredibly brilliant people. And something someone said yesterday really made me think: that World War III has already begun and we havent recognized it.

Microsoft and Adobe and other companies have been suspended from the visa program due to multiple active federal investigations related to foreign labor favoritism that's outside the rules of the H1B program, Labor Dept's @Sonderling47 says. "We will not accept any new or process any pending permanent labor certification applications involving these companies," Sonderling said.
Sonderling said since 2009, these companies have requested almost 3 million foreign workers, received over 230,000 H1B approvals and over 100,000 permanent labor certifications. "That's hundreds of 1000s of jobs that were taken from American workers."

Vice President JD Vance announces the suspension of the PERM Program for Microsoft:
"Thanks to an ongoing investigation, we have decided to suspend the PERM program for Microsoft, which means they will no longer be able to take those H-1Bs and apply for permanent resident status within the United States of America. Now our message to Microsoft and to any other foreign or domestic corporation is quite simple. We obviously want you to thrive in the United States of America. We want people to invest in the United States of America, particularly the American technology sector. We’re the biggest boosters of your industry. We want you to continue to grow and to employ a lot of people, but we want you to employ American workers. And so our message to Microsoft is, you’re great American company, but you’ve got to hire great American workers. You cannot lay off American workers and then replace them with foreign indentured servants."

Now in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, even if an MPA is accused of a criminal offence, the police must first seek the Speaker’s permission before arresting him.
What next? If an MPA kills someone, will the police first wait for the Speaker’s permission to arrest him?
What an extraordinary version of “equality before law.” Well done. Keep it up! And this is Riyasat-e-Madina?
