@bumbadum14 Why would Elon do that? He's not a right wing billionaire, and America is little more than an economic zone to him with a good set of perks when he isn't working.
@The_WGD@bumbadum14 Elon is also pretty liberal, so it would be unusual if he paused his dream life building rockets and cars to help the right in a country he doesn't care about. To Elon, America is little more than the best economic zone.

@SimoneSyed Hopefully hiring foreign talent becomes so expensive over the next few years that companies have to hire Americans just to remain solvent. Otherwise, our country will continue to be more dysfunctional.
@InezFeltscher@ThomBrady5 Would women have careers if our system wasn't massively subsidizing women's careers?
There would of course be some talented women with careers, but would women in general have successful careers?
Most jobs Immigrants do could be trained in under a year via a training program and Americans would do a far better job.
We are acting like a 3rd world college education means something. It doesn't.
@octal We need a moratorium on all immigration for at least 10-20 years, until Americans are competitive again. That would serve the interests of the United States. The "America is a nation of immigrants" thing has been a disaster.
@ThomBrady5 Trump has to be the one to lead the way, though.
No, he is not the scary dictator the media and the libtards say he is, but he has to act like that guy to save us. Its highly unlikely that red states will stick their neck out if Trump doesn't stick his neck out first.
The US government could do this quickly by imposing a one million dollar fee for every single H-1B in America, even if that H-1B worker has been working in America for several months.
Companies can quickly replace their H-1Bs with Americans or have the H-1Bs train their American replacements to get a refund for that fee.
@Jason Make each company that hired a single H-1b worker pay that fee, then put those fees in a pool and award it to the company or companies that create the best program or programs to train Americans. If companies want their money back, they would have to care about American workers.
@Jason The fee needs to be at least a million dollars per H-1B, and it would have to apply to every H-1B when it goes into effect, even if the H-1B worker has lived in America for several years.
$25-50k would have been a meaningful fee in the 1980s or 1990s, but not today.
@MorosKostas If I have to be a cop to buy a Gen 6 Glock in California, or wait until one becomes available on the used market, my right to keep and bear arms is implicated by a retail sale ban.
Cops in California, AFAIK, do not have any kind of non-MDM or non-CLI gun training either.
