    Michael Bloomberg's guest blogger, Isis Almeida, on whether Donald
    Trump regrets taking Jared Kushner's advice to downplay the National
    Question on the campaign stump against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris: <URL:https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-01-25/chicago-seeks-to-lure-foreign-workers-laid-off-by-tech-giants>
    | The idea to help out foreign workers first came up when Brad
    | Henderson, CEO of P33, attended a dinner held by the American India
    | Foundation late last year. "The chatter of the room was the real
    | worries that their community was feeling around the H-1B visa issues
    | and the large amounts of layoffs," he recalls.
    |
    | Together with World Business Chicago, an economic development
    | organization that counts Mayor Lori Lightfoot as its chair,
    | Henderson started talking to CEOs, lawyers and human resources
    | specialists to figure out whether there was something that could be
    | done.
    |
    | The city's leading civic organizations such as the Commercial Club
    | of Chicago, the Executives' Club of Chicago, the Chicago Chamber of
    | Commerce and 1871, a nonprofit small business incubator founded by
    | Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, a brother of Penny Pritzker, also
    | joined in.

    Will Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell allow Ur M Jaddou and
    Alejandro Mayorkas to grant TPS to Sundar Pichai, Mark Zuckerber,
    Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos' RIF'd scab workers?
