I don't want to ignore anything. The H1B fee changes were a half-measure that didn't go nearly far enough.

And my point is those "half measures" have already incentivized us to offshore even more than before. Going with "full measures" will only further incentivize us to go ExAmerica.
That assumes that policies can't be put in place to control the incentives such that they prioritize American companies hiring American employees.
What policies lol.
We lobbied where we needed to. Now we're bankrolling Trump's Venezuela [0] and "Drill Baby Drill" [1] policy and bankrolling Iowa [2] and Montana GOP's [3] agricultural exports. We also greenlit multiple Trump Towers projects [4][5][6][7].
This is how a trade war is fought.
Policymaking is always secondary to politics. That's why I left the policy space to climb the ladder in business.
