US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

 

[Getting Tard Comed Jr]

The same narrative occurs with Japanese culture. "They celebrate the nerd while Western culture celebrates the dumb jock" never realizing the western ideal is the intelligent athlete. Always has been, always will. It's why the West was the best for a couple centuries. Well rounded men were the priority.

 

[The Ugly One]

I went in originally for an engineering degree, I was told "good luck". The woman next to me was in for the same and got completely pampered. Free ride +++. It's not even that kids these days dont want to, which I'm sure is more of a thing than it was 10 years ago, its that (white, male) engineering students aren't welcome and haven't been for some time.

At my very first engineering job, a young woman who started with me, graduated the same year I did, was immediately put on the management track.

DEI hit engineering harder than many other professions. It was deemed a problem that too many white guys like gears and circuits as long ago as the 1990s. One way you can boost your non-white numbers is by hiring pajeets. Companies have been doing this since before ESG was even a concept.

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

During the USA's heyday as global leaders in science and engineering, most high schools didn't even have calculus classes. School doesn't make you smarter; it just teaches you some skills and knowledge. Accelerating calculus to earlier in the curriculum has no real effect on student outcomes other than they might graduate college a little earlier, or have more time for electives. Also, since we now require far more people to take calculus, we've dumbed down calculus to learning tables of derviatives and renamed calculus to "introductory analysis" or something, and moved it to the third year. Besides, an extra couple courses before you turn 21 really is not the difference-maker in science and engineering.

The other issue is engineering jobs just don't pay all that well relative to the skill required. These are jobs that want to recruit from the top 1%, maybe top 5%, smartest people in the country, but not pay them a commensurate salary. You can do much better for yourself by going into sales (something people who don't speak English as a 1st language will always suck at), becoming a dentist, going to law school (before saying lawyers don't actually make money...lawyers who are smart enough to have gone through an aerospace program do very well for themselves), or, if you want to continue nerding out, shoot for an entry-level position at a FAANG, which will pay more than double an entry-level engineering salary.

Don't become an electrical engineer, though. You'll make a decent income, though never anything like what you'd make if you'd became a radiologist instead, and you'll be passed over for promotions in favor of women or pajeets.

10/10 post. I cannot tell you how many people I work with who were in STEM, R&D, law, or medical fields who left because marketing and sales positions make more efficient money. You are also dead-on that it filters out a lot of stupid people because you need a command of English and basic social skills to succeed.

as it should be

I forgot about this movie. Thanks for posting this scene!

I recall a lot of the pulp heroes being two-fisted men of science

If the housing and cost of living crisis were not so bad as it is today, I would be more open to H1-Bs but its decimation of Americans makes me unable to support such a program anymore.

 

[LurkTrawl]

Citizenship is a legal construct, as is a border. The "muh arbitrary line" rhetoric started with lolberts like Bryan Caplan.

Who the fuck said otherwise? What is with big-gov people not understanding that not wanting big government isn't the same as anarchism?

Have you looked into how many NGOs are funded by federal regulations that funnel money from 'fines' into them? The same ones organizing the massive million+ caravans? Or that if ICE wasn't the sole governing body over this shit that it wouldn't be as simple as having one guy take a single office to shut down our entire border enforcement system? That if the individual states were empowered to act in absence of the feds that some of the lives, dignity, and property lost from this shit might've been spared?

Our government in the past eighty years of human fucking history has notably been the most expansive, complex, and over-regulated horrid piece of unsightly shit ever vomited forth from the ass of niggerdom to ever drag its disgusting shit-covered crack across the Earth. Yet somehow, some people want MORE of that and bafflingly accuse everyone and anyone who breathes so much as a word of truth on this matter of being complete anti-government anarchists. It only gets harder by the day with each and every instance of big-government proving itself to be the dogshit that it is to be civil with retards who espouse this shit. By the way anyone whining about H1Bs? Yeah that's a big-government program too:

https://www.visaverge.com/h1b/state-by-state-differences-in-h-1b-visa-regulations-in-the-u-s/

Did you Know?​

Did You Know?
True or False: The H-1B visa program is regulated by individual states within the United States.
False. The H-1B visa program is a federal program regulated under the Immigration and Nationality Act, with oversight from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). While there may be state-specific policies or programs aimed at attracting or retaining foreign talent, the main rules and requirements for obtaining an H-1B visa are consistent nationwide.

But do tell me how the federal government is going to tie up the federal government so we can have more federal control on our federal control for our lack of federal control. What the fuck is so difficult to understand about this?

[Celebrate Nite]

I'm just glad this is all coming out in the open and the people that knew this was happening (i.e. non-normalfags) got their win and told-you-so's due to Elon And Vivek opening their dumbass mouths.

I only wish this shit happened sooner than later.

I'm aware that its been a thing since the 90's and the original PC push. Alice was making 20% more than Dilbert because vagina and Ashook was in the top 1% of jeet that was actually competent. Its just now things have turned openly hostile towards Dilbert because Alice became middle management and Ashook now runs the company and only hires from his alma mater, the university of calcutta.

H1b get almost no benefits. No retirement. No health benefits. No Medicare/social security

That's not at all true. They get every health and retirement benefit you do. By the time they get around to collecting medicare or social security, they will have been naturalized anyway. H1-Bs aren't permanently going to be H1-Bs. H1-B is issued for 3 years and then a renewal for another 3. By that point most of them will have applied for permanent residency, which allows them to stay in the country indefinitely until their residency is approved.

The only benefit they're realistically unable to get is unemployment for obvious reasons. Private health and retirement benefits have no basis on citizenship.

 

[shekelshoah666]

It is funny how they are just ignoring everyone telling them they can use different visas for the true genius level immigrants and just get them in easy and there is no actual limit for those.

But this is what they want H1B for:

I gotta speculate because no one has bothered to do so, what if it is a 4D Chess move to make Trump look good?

I’ll concede Elon sperged out beyond belief making it seem legit, but Vivek’s tweet was so bafflingly stupid. I mean seriously we’re talking about “Saved By The Bell?”

On Monday I can just imagine Trump having an interview with Sean Hannity and Hannity asks about it. I can imagine Trump’s answer.
>Vivek Ramaswami and Elon Musk had a controversy over the weekend over their views of H-1Bs. Can you clarify your position.
>Elon and Vivek are great guys very intelligent. Everyone in my administration has their own opinions and I value them I’ve hired the best but I make the final call. My stance is we shouldn’t increase H1-Bs, I think it’s a very bad system and it needs to be replaced. These companies they’re using foreign labor to replace American workers at a fraction of the cost, we’re getting ripped off.

That would be a slam dunk in my book. It doesn’t disrespect either Doge and Trump ends up looking like the only sensible person. Am I crazy from going through all this insanity last night because I think a bill modifying H1-Bs would easily pass the house and senate.

This is how Doge should work, Elon and Vivek should troll by pointing out something fucked and it becomes an issue. Seriously no one was complaining about this it took Doge to make it a topic.

 

[The Ugly One]

Who the fuck said otherwise? What is with big-gov people not understanding that not wanting big government isn't the same as anarchism?

These are hollow words from a guy whose response to any and every attempt to change things is, "you can't fight big government with more government."

Yet somehow, some people want MORE of that and bafflingly accuse everyone and anyone who breathes so much as a word of truth on this matter of being complete anti-government anarchists.

You agree that the Border Patrol and ICE are government, yes? Do you want them to do more, or less, than it has done under the Biden Administration?

This isnt 5D chess, this is immigrants doing immigrants things. Unlike straight white men, everyone else hires their own when given the opportunity to do so. That includes white women, gays, blacks, Indians, south Africans, autists. The only reason it *shouldn't* matter is these two are in charge of cutting shit. Like RGK being health czar, they have the thing they are meant to do and they don't impact the rest of the goverment.

They are both genuinely forever unlimited legal immigration and have stated so many times. They think "hard work" and "loving America" means you should be allowed to come period. Same for probably 99% of people in positions of power in Tech.

 

[LurkTrawl]

"Look guys its okay that I want to give more power to the people we've been giving more power to for the past eight centuries, it's fine, look at what it's got us so far!"

You agree that the Border Patrol and ICE are government, yes? Do you want them to do more, or less, than it has done under the Biden Administration?

Quote and answer my entire statement or go fuck yourself with this kike shit. My answer is in the fucking post and if you can't discern it you shouldn't be allowed outside without a helmet you fucking nigger.

I rated feel because there isn't agreeptamistic
I would really like this to be a 5d chess but I dunno.
I have a suspicion it'll just be a wet fart that goes nowhere major.

 

[UnidentifiedFlyingOrchid]

All Elon has done with this little stunt he pulled is make people remember that H1-Bs exist and how much people hate them. He unironically did more damage to the H1-B programs than a dozen attack ads by Trump on it could. Especially with his tone deaf follow ups about americans not being up for the job and pajeets going all mask off to gloat.

I was trying to figure out some 13D chess move on Elon's part, but all I see is a White populist awakening and anger at "elites". I can't imagine that is his intent.

Steve Bannon just sided against Elon

If I remember it well Patriots.win also had a big issue with one of the founders jumping ship and turning coat on them, so it makes sense that the mods are not the hardcore MAGA people they were way back in the day and pushing shit like this.

Welcome aboard the the Time Machine™. It only goes forward.
Patriots.win was TheDonald.win, but the admin who controlled the domain backstabbed them. They seem to have a userbase despite their best efforts to fuck it up.

MTG siding with Musk

She is the dumbest gorilla lion-beast.

 

[Terrifik]

America's education system is flawed which is why we must bring millions and millions of jeets instead of improving said system.

issue is same question asked for waiting for superman that around about 2000 school system up & died .
its been a grift of sell text books & teacher made books to colledge students. ( fine use of 3rd party books)
we are reaching the point that colledge doesn't matter beter to go to trade school .
you also do the joke current year best reason to go to school is to be taught your lgtq & find out that your are trans/gay/lesibian or girl.
