Having a visa didn't really make this particularly better for me, and at the end of the day being able to get/stay in and just work when you want to work is a damn sight better than what many people (like me) have had to go through in recent years to start a company.

Sure, it's better than nothing. That doesn't change the fact this is one more twist in an already Kafka-esque system.

In the old days when this country's government worked you'd see a new visa category created and USCIS able to keep processing times within reason.

Nobody should take this proposal as an example of the system working.

I certainly agree, but it's a great example of how hacking a broken system works :)
