@LeeKuanYimby If you don't want to accept the truth, then you won't accept the answer to that question

@chrisboettcher9 Mister Boitcher, reconsider your phrasing

@HardPass4 Did you personally call ICE when you were at Walmart? If not, why not?

@TheIntelFrog Hopefully the Mercury will have enough left in its airframes to maintain the mission until the new platform is developed

Interesting times for TACAMO community

🚨 stop scrolling.. do you understand what this fake degree ring actually means to your life..

because most people only think about visa fraud as a paperwork problem..

those 100,000 seized certificates weren't for desk jobs.. they were for medicine.. nursing.. engineering.. IT.. fields where a fake credential doesn't just steal a job.. it puts someone in a hospital treating your family..

and here's the part nobody's connecting..

100,000 seized is 10% of the estimated total.. 900,000 fake degrees are still out there.. attached to real people.. working real jobs.. inside real companies and real hospitals that verified nothing..

a former US consular officer who processed 51,000 H-1B applications in Chennai said 80 to 90% of the applicants she saw used fraudulent documentation..

a 2008 USCIS audit found more than 13% of already-approved H-1Bs were fraudulent..

that was 18 years ago.. the program kept running..

Manav Bharti University sold 36,025 fake degrees while issuing only 5,455 real ones.. this has been running since at least 2010..

this isn't a printer in a back room.. it's a supply chain.. fake seals.. fake holograms.. fake transcripts.. 22 universities.. multiple states.. an estimated 1 million documents worldwide..

your doctor might have one of these degrees..

the system worked for the forgers.. just not for you.

I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨

@johnkonrad @shashj Shash is trash, appearantly

@NotoriousAKG You're wrong and missing the point

@AHD_from_TX Thank God!

Hopefully he can rise through the ranks quickly!

@Dylan_Morri I would hope that with modern tools, making your own will be substantially less painful than when I taught myself how to make a home-grown one

You want the real answer? Answer this: does your strategic advantage require a custom ERP?

Respect to Samsung not falling for the sunk cost fallacy.

Spending millions on a new HQ in NJ and then abandoning it in 8 months is a really hard decision to make.

“But we spent all that money and time! And now we will have to spend more on relocation!”

Most execs can’t make that call. Sunk cost scrambles their circuits.

Something changed. NJ likely increased taxes, regulations, something…so Samsung took off for Texas.

Will “lose” millions in disposing this property, relocating staff, legal, etc. But will most likely gain much more with the quick decision rather than dragging it out.

Abandon any sunk cost thinking. Pay it zero consideration. It’s always only this point forward.

Fundamentally false.

A tiny subset of Indians of Brahmin background are exceptional

Almost all current Indian immigrants are H-1B frauds, nepo frauds, or other frauds

Entire companies get "Indian'd" in short order: fraud!

It's rampant. It's documented. It's nearly everywhere

[Daniel Di Martino @DanielDiMartino]

@Jar3d__ There is some fraud in every group, in everything, and everywhere. She is wrong to claim Indians (in the U.S.) are exceptionally fraudulent or that they earn more due to that, that is outrageously false.

They earn more for the same reason whites earn more than blacks on average.

@TrentTelenko 3,200 is bonkers, unbelievably bonkers. Is there visual confirmation of each one? If true, that's genuinely absurd. That's like every fuel truck in a smaller US state going out of service at once

@shashj He said, "civilization destroyer," and not whatever made-up nonsense you put in your quote

The Economist had a single good take recently. Don't ruin the streak with your arrogance and pride. Be real, and deal with real issues

[Maker Patrick @TheMakerPatrick]

@NateSilver538 That's your conclusion?

Can you not just state the painfully obvious?

Extreme incentive to cheat

Virtually no disincentive to cheat

It's cheating. It's just a system designed to enable cheating

@it_unprofession You're about 11 other similar trainings away from being fully qualified to be a member of the military

@CynicalPublius I suspect you are overconfident in this

There are plenty of "true believers" waiting out this administration, dragging their heels in the meantime

Too many reports of slowly adopting executive orders; they will be the ones to rapidly re-implement DEI if Ds ever get power again

@visegrad24 Unlimited punishment needs to be directed at the police. They should face the ultimate punishment for their abuse of authority, criminal negligence, and extraordinarily poor judgment

Ohhhh, that explains it

@SteveLovesAmmo Yes of course! It's when my personal bugaboo came about

As a home builder, we are losing a ton of our workforce because of deportations.

That being said now is the time for our American youth to start stepping up into the trades.

You want money? We need you.

This is not a joke. If we want America first, this is it.
