Accused major tech companies of sending conflicting messages by warning about AI replacing white-collar workers while simultaneously supporting H-1B visa programs that utilize cheap labor.

Oracle Summary

Ron DeSantis lands at 32/100 (moderate) for deflection. DeSantis identifies the AI-displacement/H-1B contradiction but attributes the problem to cheap foreign labor rather than structural corporate wage suppression or policy failures. The framing scapegoats visa holders while deflecting from the corporate and policy ecosystem that incentivizes labor arbitrage. No policy proposals offered—pure critique without structural analysis.
