this is pretty brutal but im not familiar with the dataset and i imagine i might be missing some context

what i'm most curious about is, something like 10x as many applications are approved as visas can be granted by statute

so do most of these just go unfilled?

or is the limit just ignored (i assume not but who knows) or what

asstd comments from the boys and also response from OP, thanks all 🙏

natch

i think the actual optimal policy is "reform this" but i also understand the willingness of people to throw out the baby with the bathwater because they dont trust any reform to actually be implemented as intended

im not sure theyre wrong to doubt

this is one reason why you

Don't
Fucking
Lie

for short term political gain

if you fuck people with a policy after lying about it they're not gonna trust you again and you may be unable to get a sensible compromise position during the backlash
