1/ A thread about the class dynamics of air-conditioning in Europe. I believe attitudes toward air-conditioning are class markers in many European countries. Air-conditioning is seen as prototypically American, and that's important.

I try not to get angry online. But sometimes I can't help myself. I'm angry now.

Let me break it down for you.

MAGA succeeded in 2024 by bringing disparate groups together into a coalition.

One of the key issues binding that coalition was the idea that unchecked, illegal immigration is harmful. That is such a logical and reasonable premise that it created wide appeal.

But a big part of that premise was its corollary: "WE don't oppose immigration, we only oppose ILLEGAL immigration."

We said this last part over and over and over as a rebuttal to Democrats who called us "racists" and "xenophobes." It was such an effective and key rebuttal that it allowed our movement to succeed--it was that latter argument that allowed people on the fence to support things like mass deportations of illegals.

Now, all of a sudden, half of MAGA wants to say that it opposes LEGAL immigration too? An argument that was NEVER any substantial election issue?

Guess what, you just fractured the MAGA/MAHA movement and have thrown away everything you fought for. You re-opened the accusations that MAGA is racist. You chased away the supporters that made Trump's election possible.

Politics is the art of setting priorities and knowing the time and place for a discussion.

Unless you are anxious to undermine the Trump Presidency before it ever even starts, and unless you are anxious to drive the MAGA/MAHA coalition into non-existence, and unless you like the Democrat agenda for America, I advise you to table the H1B discussion.

If you push it now, you are aiding and abetting the enemy regardless of your intentions.

Yes I am quite angry at the ignorant stupidity of a lot of MAGAs right now, and I don't care if I hurt your feelings.

I know my future wife is most likely doing yoga, at a coffee shop, at the gym, or at home watching Hallmark movies in her pajamas right now. I swear I’ll start looking in those places once I finish checking out the bars and strip clubs

This has been going around, let me explain as a manufacturing guy what you are seeing:

Economic 5th Generation Warfare

That is 100% what this is. The CCP subsidizes every aspect of these operations with the express intent of destroying America’s prototype and production infrastructure. If you are a US startup- why would you boot up a model shop or use your local machine shop when you can just send all your IP to China and get parts back in a week for 1/10th the cost?

If the US Government would:
- Let me buy CNC equipment for 1/4th the price
- Give me a building
- Sell me raw material for 25% the global commodity price
- Subsidize my workforce
- Offer zero repercussions for pirating the most advanced Western CAD/CAM/FAE tools
- Have zero environment, safety, employment regulations
- Offer me a postal service that did FedEx international shipping for 5% the FedEx cost

Give me all of that and you bet your ass I can build you tiny bullshit turbines for $0.75. Sounds like a nice hour long programming/setup project!

Do not be fooled by any of this- this is not Chinese engineers (who are *very* good!) competing against us- this is the Chinese government looking to put a significant percentage of America’s manufacturing base into the ground.
