Would you take career advice from a chatbot?

Half a million American STEM grads can’t get jobs. Meanwhile, 240,000 OPT visa holders just took theirs — with zero FICA tax.

It’s not about talent. It’s about incentives. Tax code. Loopholes. Corporate offshoring. And a system built to say “there’s a shortage” while the pipeline sits full.

On this episode of The Pulse Wave, we break down the numbers and expose the mechanics behind America’s most under-discussed workforce failure.

👉 Vince Virga (SkillStorm)
👉 Rob Murtha (Adjective)
👉 Tommy Weinert (Mount Indy)

We cover:

The real impact of H1B, OPT, and F1 visas

The revolving door of offshore recruiting firms

How universities cashed in while kids got wrecked

What it’ll take to fix this

Watch it. Then show your HR director.

China isn’t just in our supply chain — they’re in our ports, our power grids, and our policies.

In this week’s Pulse Wave, we open with a monologue that calls out the obvious: China is built deep into America’s critical infrastructure — from cranes and transformers to solar inverters and comms gear stamped Made in China.

I sat down with Tom Weinert, Rob Murtha, and Nick Frazier to break it all down:

• How 80% of U.S. ports rely on Chinese cranes, and what that means for logistics and national security.
• The cyber threat from Volt Typhoon and why it’s been ignored for years.
• How North Korean laptop farms and fake recruiting pipelines are penetrating cleared industries.
• Why HR and program managers are now a front line of national defense.
• And whether America has gone too soft — arguing about pronouns while Beijing embeds itself in our backbone.

This is about more than cyber policy — it’s about grit, standards, and the price of comfort.
