@gothburz Love these… they are absolutely true (it used to be 32 hrs required corp approval). Do one on Home Depot, Michael’s, and Dollar General reducing the value of their inventory to $0.01 to avoid paying taxes…
@MontyBennett Nice to see the fraud in H1Bs getting some attention… now can someone please look into the TN system where they can get easy citizenship through Canada and there are no limits, no caps, etc. If only the CEO’s would be liable for the fraud
For decades, corporations have used H-1B visas to replace qualified Americans with cheaper foreign labor while claiming a “worker shortage.” After 122,000+ tech layoffs in 2025, that excuse is dead. Reform H-1B, end the abuse, and put American STEM workers first.

Hot take: Universities charge $300,000 for a degree that teaches you skills any LLM can do for free. At some point we need to have an honest conversation about whether higher education is the greatest individuals misallocation of capital in recent history.
This is what happens when the government is no longer subsidizing something. 5/9/2026 after the state of TX stopped allowing SNAP (aka food stamps) to be used to purchase soda on 4/1/2026.
Imagine this same impact if they stepped away from insurance, meds, and med care.
A soldier used classified intel to make $409K on Polymarket. Arrested. 5 federal charges. Assets seized.
Congress traded $635 million last year. The STOCK Act has produced zero prosecutions in 14 years. Maximum fine: $200. Routinely waived.
The STOCK Act was signed with 14 pens in 2012. Its searchable database was repealed 11 months later by voice vote on a Friday evening. No cameras. No podium. It took 4 pages to remove the only part of the law that worked.
This is not new. The pattern is 60 years old.
Abu Ghraib: 11 enlisted soldiers convicted. The Secretary of Defense who authorized the techniques was never charged. The lawyer who wrote the torture memo got a federal judgeship.
The 2008 financial crisis: 1 banker went to prison. 10 million families lost their homes. The CEO whose bank paid $13 billion in fraud settlements got a 74% raise.
Iran-Contra: A Lieutenant Colonel took the fall. The President pardoned the witnesses 11 days before his own trial testimony.
The institution prosecutes at the lowest rank, at the lowest cost, so the briefing slides can say enforcement exists.
The $409K is not the crime. It is the cost of making $635 million look supervised.
I wrote the full investigation. 33 footnotes. 60 years of receipts.

@jgebbia Providing free government/taxpayer money that exceed the living standards of 90% of Earth means that 90% of Earth has a financial incentive to come to America. This will bankrupt our country.
@IterIntellectus@elonmusk How does this population decline fit with current ‘predictions’ of a need for universal income caused by AI expansion impacts to the job market? Unless the human race finds another environment in which to grow, growing the population just creates more over population issues.
