The article quotes HAL CMD as saying astra and asraam firing results are under analysis.

The US system having town level police units, sheriffs and state troopers can be tried out.

100k signon bonus/RSU/Annual award/Performance Bonus is not uncommon in the bay area. That is not part of LCA either, so nothing will stop these companies from reducing comp to equalize. As long as they do not link to H1B fees, which would be illegal.

Not true. It reduces salary negotiation power and has been instrumental in keeping it under inflation growth rate IMHO. Also, H1b can be hired and sent to low cost areas, further reducing the need to hire in say NYC, NoVa, Bay area etc...H1-Bs cannot lead to any cost savings
