Peter Thiel's push to end remote work raises concerns about a double standard that allows Indian workers to work remotely while Americans face job loss if they do not return to the office. The claim that remote work is less productive contradicts many experiences and appears to be more about control than efficiency. The real reason for pushing employees back to the office may be to justify investments in commercial real estate and support local businesses rather than a genuine concern for productivity.

USCIS's proposed policy change, in collaboration with India, could devastate small American businesses by allowing foreign nationals to sponsor H-1B positions for companies they own. This move aims to attract "US talent" from foreign invaders while millions of Americans remain unemployed, as corporations refuse to hire them. The primary purpose of this collaboration appears to be wage normalization, forcing non-living salaries upon US citizens and potentially eliminating all jobs from the US.
