I hope everyone can read between the lines. Expect major crackdowns of anything not in line with the techbros.

I just refreshed my ”For You“ feed on Twitter and all of the anti-H1B tweets disappeared.

So much for free speech.

Anyone who has control of the flow of information is not to be trustworthy.
Elon still censors shit. I still can't openly call people faggots on X or tell them to go kill themselves. No being mean. Free speech is supposed to be absolute, all or nothing. The first amendment does not exist anymore. It has been bogged down by the Civil Rights Act and other discrimination laws that the republican and democrat party will never change to make America actually better. This also means every other amendment right we Americans are supposed to be guranteed; do not exist. Police charged a guy as guilty because he remained silent. He did not explicitly say he wishes to express his 5th amendment right. The pigs threw the book at him for being silent because it was "an admission of guilt". America is not America.

[The Ugly One]

If you want to see why Elon Musk can't find all the engineers he wants, just look at SpaceX salaries on Glassdoor or anywhere else. Pay is a little above average, but not an 80 hrs/wk motivator. If he offered engineers Silicon Valley-style salaries, he'd pay $200k for an entry-level engineer and $700k-$900k/yr for his principals. If he offered that kind of money, he would completely empty out NASA, Pratt, Lockheed, all of, them, of their top engineers, and there are lots of staggeringly smart people in dead-end careers in those places.

But he won't do that, because at the end of the day, when "libertarians" get rich enough, rather than actually negotiate prices in their market, they want the government to change the laws so they can take advantage of cheap labor from shithole countries.

 

[The Last Stand]

We will, but not for literal slave wages. They could get people to work at the apple orchards and warehouses in my parents' neck of the woods, no problem. You'd have all kinds of farm kinds crawling over themselves to do that work, cause you'd be out in the orchards or in a climate controlled factory floor doing boring repetitive work but you'd be getting paid to do shit your family would want you doing well later on in life.

Not to sound like a libertarian (or a dumbass,) but how would you offset a decent wage for your farmers without upping the price of your goods? McDonald's tried that with increasing minimum wage, now a $5 meal is double the price at the same quality.

they couldn't make it because global standards means we have to compete with fucking China, Vietnam, India, etc for who will do the most work for the least pay. China can make socks 6 for a dollar and still make profit, because if the 5 year old making the socks stops they shoot her and get another one.

Again, good luck trying to convince an American company to make everyday items like socks, underwear, sneakers in a mass capacity now without worrying about labor laws, taxes and increased cost of living.

Closest answer I would think of is to increase the value of the American dollar so that even menial labor jobs can support you enough for an apartment at a decent neighborhood. If a massive corporation would cut corners with slave labor, incentive them to NOT work under the table or punish them accordingly.

SpaceX is required to only hire American citizens due to ITAR, he gets around that with SpaceX's reputation and only hiring recent graduates. Tesla would be a better example.

 

[Sayer of the N-Word]

Pretty much, those are the lefties that's occupy spaces where they aren't welcome and try and fit in by acting like Trump isn't right wing enough. People like @Sayer of the N-Word and @⠠⠠⠅⠑⠋⠋⠁⠇⠎ ⠠⠠⠊⠎ ⠠⠠⠁ ⠠⠠⠋⠁⠛

I don't think Trump isn't right wing enough, whatever that means. He pops off with ideas that are all over the place, and because he isn't very well educated in these matters he sometimes goes against Republican orthodoxy, which is great, but it doesn't matter at all because he isn't any good at screening out the swamp creatures he claims to detest, so whenever he crosses some red line an aide comes out and says he didn't really mean that and he is 100% in agreement with Mitch McConnell and Sean Hannity.

Libertarians who are not anarchists and who believe in more human rights than the basic property rights are all posers.

He was never "right-wing" at all. He was a liberal Democrat during his NYC days. Take that what you will.

Trump is not Hitler, no. Stop bitching.

I wouldn't offset the wage vs the price of the goods. Our current system is being held in place via incentives. People are incentivized to move manufacturing over to China and the resultant products back over here, or what have you. Remove the incentives and things will collapse -- they will collapse anyway, this will just be a different cause and effect -- and the result will be American made products from American made factories hiring American workers selling to Americans.

It'll fuck over the third world shitholes of the world like India, China, Mexico, and Vietnam. But who the fuck cares about them? It'll fuck over the companies using globalism as a form of arbitrage. But fuck them too. They're all literally making bank at the suffering of third worlders and fucking over first worlders, so fuck them.

America first means screw the rest of the world. I'm tired of being told I have to give a shit about the plight of starving orphan pigmies of Papua New Guinea and that's why I have to take a hit in my future chances and quality of life so they have a chance too. I'm similarly tired of being told that I'm not allowed to compete properly because females and negroids can't match up with even the most basic standards of human behavior and it's racist if I don't pretend to be some sort of lispy queer version out of Harrison Bergeron. But above all else I'm tired of being told I'm only acting in a morally acceptable way if I let a bunch of globalist jews play usury / money changing / arbitrage games with entire nations -- or that it's a moral failing on my part if I say no or even point out that they're doing it.

Vivek says that we need to import Indians because Americans watch too much TV:

When I first heard Vivek talk, my first impression was "He sure knows how to talk the talk. But let's see him walk the walk..."

Glad I never took a liking to that alien looking fuck. He was way too good at saying the right things... kinda like a con man.
