If your wage from working any full time job isn’t enough to live on, what’s the point of the job?

Forbes found that Trump's businesses hired at least 1,670 temporary foreign workers since 2008.

In 2023, Mar-a-Lago requested H-2B visas for: 53 waiters and waitresses, seven hotel desk clerks, 17 housekeeping cleaners, five first-line supervisors of food preparation and serving workers, 24 cooks and five bartenders per the Department of Labor.

I guess it’s okay to imply that BLACKS are inferior, (pilots, customer service reps, college students, etc) but how DARE someone imply that (white) AMERICANS are inferior.

BREAKING: According to an NYPD intel report obtained by Ken Klippenstein, social media users who’ve expressed anything short of outright condemnation for the murder of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO are now being flagged as potential “extremists” by counterterrorism authorities.

Take a moment to understand this: there is increasing oppression of your free speech.

Economist Michael Albert explains why education in America is underfunded.

This seems like an especially relevant speech given the current discourse over H-1B Visas.

I have noticed a lot of people don't know how to moderate their responses, their reactions are disproportionate to the offending event. The minute they feel "wronged" anything can happen.

@BooknerdKee I've been enjoying my temporary return.

I'm back here to witness the chaos.

So many South Asian Republicans are totally fine with their party’s racism against Black people and Mexicans but suddenly discover they don’t like it when that racism is (inevitably) aimed at them, too. 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽

Tech bros: “There’s a shortage of talent. We need more workers! More H-1Bs!”

Professor of Computer Science at UC Berkeley: “My perfect GPA students are contacting me worried because they are getting zero job offers.”

😳 Errol Musk says his son is named after a sci-fi book written in 1948 by Nazi rocket scientist Werner Von Braun called “Marsprojekt” where he describes in technical detail how people get to Mars & describes the Martian government as a technocracy with “the Elon” in charge.

Von Braun was brought to America during Operation Paperclip which brought Nazi scientists to America, and wrote “Mars Project” at Ft. Bliss — in German. Hermann Oberth, who Errol Musk also mentions, was another Nazi rocket scientist who came to America in 1955 to work for Von Braun.

In the chapter on the Martian government is also the core idea of non-geographical “network states” (a Thiel project to dissolve nation-states in favor of techno-dictatorships) and high velocity subways (think Boring Company/Hyperloop).

How much of what Elon Musk is doing right now based on the fantasies of a Nazi rocket scientists? Is all of this “the Elon” trying to prove something to his father?

Seems like we’re all screwed because of someone’s daddy issues.
