The fact is they blocked several companies, but didn't lower the number of visas being issued. So what they are doing is redistributing who gets visas (which smacks of favoritism and corruption)
Except they are excluding the companies found abusing the system, in turn leaving the companies complying with the rules alone. Complying with the H1B program as enacted by Congress is neither favoritism nor corruption. Quite the opposite actually.
None of that matters. They will just hire their H1Bs through Tata or some other body shop. This is just more favoritism and graft.

Maybe people shouldn't believe everything they see online, and learn how to research the candidate/incumbent themselves.
Any time I get a political ad, I read at least 3 sites (as diverse as possible) and average the overall "facts" that the sites say. Maybe candidates could switch from only bad-mouthing other candidates to the candidate just saying what they're campaigning on.
I know you're saying this with the best of intentions, and I'm sure you're surrounded by capable, at least moderatly intelligent people because people tend to surround themselves with people like themselves. But most people are not like this. Seriously thinking this is a reasonable solution paints you as painfully naive.

The incentive that caused this was the ability for originators to easily sell loans, and the demand for such loans of nearly any quality by the aftermarket as packaged loan tranches were making good money. It's basic market dynamics once you understand the change the precipitated it.

At present, no. I've done a number of experiments with LLMs' capabilities with generating fiction, and while they are impressive for a beginner writer -- because fo the lack of spelling and grammar mistakes, they are nowhere near being able to write competent fiction.
This is because they don't model reader or character minds, they're based on word probabilities, like a predictive text keyboard. The engineers can compensate for for this to a surprising degree by feeding it data to recognize specific situations (e.g. the car wash is 100 feet from my driveway; should I drive or walk?). But this is turd-polishing.
