Open source is aging out:
'the percentage of [OSS] maintainers self-reporting that they are 46–55 or 56–65 has doubled since our first survey in 2021 (2021: 11 percent; 2023: 27 percent; 2024: 21 percent). Meanwhile, the percentage of maintainers under 26 has dropped precipitously from 25 percent in our 2021 survey to 12 percent last year and 10 percent today."'

who can blame them?
One person owns all the hotels in town and many of the smaller businesses, so he already has 2/3 requirements alone. As for transportation, Mackinac is so small you can get around by bicycle so transportation is covered. The only reason it hasn't turned into a shithole is because they all leave after October at the end of the tourist season. That, and the guy who brings them over here in usually pulls from Eastern Europe and Jamaica instead of actual shitholes, like Haiti. (2/2)
Springfield, Ohio and Sylacauga, Alabama do not happen in a vacuum. This can only happen in small towns where there is one major employer, a single owner of many multi-unit housing complexes, and a local transportation company that are all willing to destroy their local community for money. It only takes these 3 actors colluding with the feds to fuck the entire town. I've seen a similar play out in Mackinac City, MI, but with seasonal workers instead of H1Bs. (1/2)
