Summary
Asha Sharma, CEO of Microsoft's Xbox division, has been appointed to a Federal Reserve task force on "Productivity and Jobs" despite recent controversy over her company's layoff of 1,600 workers while simultaneously being approved to hire thousands of foreign visa workers. The appointment has sparked criticism, with some accusing the Federal Reserve of incentivizing the replacement of American workers with foreign ones, while Vice President JD Vance announced an investigation into H-1B visa fraud.
