December 26, 2024Dec 26 So it appears MAGA has decided to turn on Indians and all the tech bros. Genius move -- alienate the wealthiest ethnic group in the country that is experiencing strong growth. This is what you get when people like Laura Loomer are driving the conversation. It's open civil war in MAGA over my people.

I doubt anyone remembers but a few years ago here in CVON the usual MAGA suspects were on a crusade to try and convince anyone who'd listen that the US labor issues during COVID would be resolved by driving out liberal and foreign talent so Billy Bob and Jimbo could take their places in tech roles. It was just another bad idea in a long line of bad ideas from MAGA and we quickly moved on from the topic. But I can't help but laugh watching a MAGA cult hero, yet again, making MAGA morons look like fools. It's as certain as death and taxes.
December 27, 2024Dec 27 But to get serious about the topic, there is a real problem with flooding the tech markets with H1B talent. Elon will tell you there's a talent shortage but that's a bad faith argument. There's a talent shortage because half of the country has been convinced that educating our up and coming generations is evil and that higher learning institutes are grooming kids. We're currently ripping STEM curriculum out of classrooms and replacing it with religion. If Elon was serious about fixing the real problem he'd start there. But he's not. He's only interested using it as an excuse to bring in cheap labor and drive down operational costs for businesses so he and the new billionaire ruling class can cement their grip on the US labor force. We're watching the US turn itself into a functioning oligarchy in real time.

I guarantee tech companies would instantly and miraculously discover that there actually is enough of a domestic labor pool for programming jobs.

December 27, 2024Dec 27 JFC I just read Vivek’s word salad X post that immigrant families are more successful because they don’t follow sports. I guess he missed the memo that Neil Armstrong chose Purdue over MIT because he liked football. Vivek then went on to say Americans youth fried their brains by watching shows like Boy Meets World. Yeah, sorry mom, I could have grown up to be the next Jonny Kim, but instead I was too into Topanga.
