H1-B Rent Seeking. Corporate Con or Economically Viable Altruism?

On this episode of Firing Lane, we tackle one of the most controversial topics in modern economics: the H-1B visa program. Is it a necessary tool for innovation or a corporate con game? We dig into how the system is being manipulated to sideline American workers, exploit immigrants, and boost corporate profits under the guise of "helping the economy."

But this isn’t just a deep dive into the policy—we also explore the cultural ripple effects. Can America sustain its economic success if its culture becomes fragmented by corporate rent-seeking? Along the way, we delve into an unexpected debate with supporters of Elon Musk’s take on immigration and innovation, sparking a lively conversation about whether corporate strategy or American culture is the real engine of our economy.
