    Los Angeles Times' LZ Granderson on whether Susie Wiles worries that
    David McIntosh's Club for Growth will allow Ron DeSantis to use
    Lachlan Murdoch's FoxNews.COM campaign microphone to make Donald
    Trump regret dispatching Jared and Ivanka Kushner to Silicon Valley
    to sue for peace with the likes of Mark Zuckerberg: <URL:https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2023-11-04/uber-lyft-wage-theft-doordash-tipping>
    | Even when tech companies are not the employer, they indirectly
    | benefit from exploitative practices. Take the details surrounding
    | the 2016 fraud convictions of Atul Nanda and his brother Jiten.
    |
    | The two used the H-1B visa program to attract skilled tech workers
    | to the U.S. but misrepresented the nature of their prospective
    | employment. On the visa application forms they said hires would be
    | full-time employees. However, it was discovered the workers were
    | actually paid on an as-needed basis.

    Does Wiles worry there is a still opportunity for DeSantis to
    resuscitate his moribund campaign by using Murdhoch's stage to stump
    for an immigration moratorium for what ails legacy American proles?

    "Of course Leftists and the Legacy Media are hypocrites and will
    bury the Biden story. Crying about this is cope. Bigger problem is
    two-track justice system: no doubt a special prosecution for Trump
    but won't even be an investigation for Biden." - Theo Wold <URL:https://twitter.com/RealTheoWold/status/1612970944632623105>
