@xwanyex They treat macro and micro problems as the same. So being nice, kind, etc., which matter on a person-to-person level, are of the utmost importance to them for massive issues like the national debt and foreign policy. It’s why they are obsessed with Trump being a meanie.
@avidseries@TheLaurenChen What program are you specifically referring to that these “high skill legal immigrants” are using to come here? As far as I know, opt and h1b are the main pathways. I would like more specific numbers for this supposed “majority”. L-1 and O-1 aren’t as large as those two programs.
@avidseries OPT’s (who eventually get converted to h1b) have no more qualifications than Americans, considering that they are recent grads. They are not hired bc they are better, but bc they are loyal, will work for less, and the company saves on ss/medicare taxes for three years in stem.
@xwanyex My sister got a teaching job, worked at it for three months, got a nine month maternity leave, then ditched a week before the next semester started. She feels zero shame over it. I am sure that others would gladly abuse a more government centric version of it.
@bostonherald The money spent on “special education” is out of control and mostly useless. The label is abused and can lead to some students costing well into six figures to educate.
@feelsdesperate In my journey, what shocks me is I have literally the same ideas and opinions as I always did, but for some reason voted Democrat until 2016.
@feelsdesperate Almost every episode of My 600 Lb Life is a massive person being enabled by family or a spouse bc they like the caretaker disability checks. It’s not usually explicitly said, but Dr. Now has mentioned it multiple times.
