<p>I disagree. The elected officials are well aware of the issues going on they just don’t care or side with companies that want cheaper STEM labor. Alan Greenspan specifically said the H1-B program was a good idea to keep STEM wages lower for companies. </p>
<p>I’m afraid the only way I can see to reform science is to cut off the supply of suckers/victims so companies can no longer get away with mistreating them. If our society wants to abuse scientists perhaps they just don’t deserve them. </p>
<p>Companies act like three year olds that break their toys over and over again and scream and cry for new ones. At some point the proper response is not to keep giving them new ones to break.</p>
<p>In the meantime, given the abusive conditions in science I cannot in good conscience advice anyone to go into it. That is a kin to watching someone walk in front of an oncoming train and not try to warn them.</p>
