One Name on the Notice: A Web of LLCs Behind It
A Kimble County liquor permit notice named one man as the LLC member behind a pending TABC beer-and-wine permit. Pulling every Comptroller filing tied to that applicant found it’s one of 13 same-address, same-officer-pool LLCs already holding 25 retail alcohol permits across Texas — and it’s an ongoing series, updated as we find more.
Why 2003: The Data Behind One Story, and a Paper Trail of Federal Findings
2003 was the year I stopped being able to find work in my own field. That’s a personal claim, not a data point — so this report keeps the two separate. What BLS’s own numbers show: women’s labor force participation peaked in April 2000 and, as of August 2026, sits below where it was in 1990. The H-1B cap was tripled to 195,000 a year right as the dot-com bust hit U.S. tech workers, and GAO itself was flagging the tracking gap in a report published in September 2003. And from a $34 million DOJ settlement with Infosys in 2013 through a $3.2 million one with OpenAI in August 2026 — plus an ongoing federal jury finding against Cognizant and an active caste-discrimination case against Cisco — the paper trail of companies found to have preferred visa holders over Americans keeps growing.
Two Surveys, One Chart: Fact-Checking the 98-of-100-Jobs Claim
A chart went viral this week claiming “98 of 100 new American jobs” in August went to women — 158,000 for women, just 4,000 for men. The 162,000 total is real. The 12-month numbers are real. But that monthly split doesn’t appear in any BLS table we can find, and the actual household-survey number for August shows the opposite: men gained more jobs than women that month. Here’s exactly which BLS tables say what, with direct links so you can check it yourself.

The State Calls It Staff Aug. We Mapped It Against H-1B Filings.
Texas agencies buy the same IT-staffing program under dozens of different contract labels ITSAC, Staff Aug, FY26AUGR, Temporary Personnel Services which means a keyword search for ITSAC alone misses most of the market. We built a synonym-based match across every label, found 414 active statewide staffing-vendor relationships across 62 agencies, and cross-referenced all of them against federal H-1B sponsorship data.
122 vendors are also H-1B sponsors. Nine have H-1B sponsorship that is 100 percent concentrated in Texas. We independently verified two of their certified workers filed worksite addresses against public government-building directories they are state agency headquarters.
