If only Harvard had thousands of high powered attorney grads who could work together to savagely attack every move Trump makes and tie up his entire agenda in court until his demise.

What if.

I bet a lot of those people voted for Trump.

No doubt. Buyer’s guilt and retribution are very real things though. Some people might be okay with how things are going until it’s their back yard that’s been set on fire.

She wasn't chosen for her legal prowess, they just needed a good-looking psychopath

on reddit, in the same exact article.

people were saying foreign workers make up the quarter of things like stem researcher/technicians, and there is already a shortage, and then the comments say it will be a bigger shortage eventually because of this. that graduate from these top universities

they dont realize that employers preferentially hire mostly visa holders anyways(so they dont have to pay them a higher salary and benefits), leaving alot of would be researchers in the dust with very little recourse, even if they did hire domestically, its usually much higher requirement than those for visa holders(they dont say it outloud but they do try to discourage domestic people from applying. also the fact that its actually pretty hard to get into the field to begin with(the limited space in university labs is usually the reason why its hard to get experience, and universities themselves dont make it easy to find them either)
