Musk Advocates to Double H-1B Visas

Musk and Vivek are not Cabinet level positions. What evidence do you have that "Trump's proposed cabinet is the wealthiest in the history of the country."? I doubt Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard or Marco Rubio are driving that average higher.
 
Until last year I was working for an American company with international offices, and I was one of the maybe two dozen people in a company of 200 that were white and grew up in America.
After a year of being completely ignored by my supervisor (an Indian guy living in London) and having people with way less experience and time in the company given all the new opportunities (only one one of whom was born in America), I set my LinkedIn profile to "open to work".

Literally hours later I got contacted by a VP wanting to talk about why I was trying to leave. I told him 1) my supervisor literally hasn't talked to me in the last six months, 2) every higher responsibility I used to have has been taken away and I've been put back on taking front line tickets, 3) you always lay people off in October and I'm leaving myself runway to find something else because dude, I can read the room. (I didn't add 'dude what the fuck you can spy on my linkedin but you can't find out whether your departments are being held together?')

He swore up and down that's not what he wanted to have happen and it certainly wasn't right and could we talk about it more. We never connected again but I did put a bunch of effort into a presentation to go over some of the fundamental problems of why it fuckin' sucked to work in that department and ways we could mitigate them - and number 1 on the list was to demonstrate all the superstar employees they'd had over the last 20 years that they literally took off the street and allowed to train on the job, as opposed to requiring masters degrees and 10 years experience.

I don't have any evidence anyone read any of it. I ended up giving them 2 weeks notice after 23 years working there, and half of the second week was Thanksgiving break. I don't regret it.

Before I left, more than one H1B holder told me how envious they were that I was able to just walk. Some others weren't envious - but congratulated me on having the courage to GTFO.
 
Oh, and one other thing - I'm tired of hearing about all these industrious foreigners because Americans *ARE* lazy, and that is a GOOD thing.

Laziness is why people do something right the first time. Because they don't want to come back and fuck with it.

Laziness is why people spend 45 minutes fixing something that only takes 30 seconds to work around. It doesn't matter that you only have to do it three times a week - the unwillingness to come back and fuck with it is why it's getting fixed.

Laziness is why people document what they're doing. It's so they don't have to deal with you figuring it out - so they can say RTFM and go back to posting here.

Laziness is essentially why people come up with efficiency tweaks. Sure, there are corporate goofballs who profit off of it but most of them boil down to a lazy dude looking at his life and thinking 'holy shit if I have to do this process this inefficiently for one more day I'm going to scream'.

Every good habit that I have seen in coworkers for the last quarter century has been due to good old fashioned American laziness.

When you put hardworking industrious Indians on a task, and they can't figure it out after staying awake for two days and ask the American who has been there twice as long for a consult, the American is the one who says 'what the hell are you doing troubleshooting a third party product for our customer?' I have literally told people in India to be lazy in the past.
 
I'd rather green cards to H-1B. If they want to come here, work and make money they should become a part of our country, not take the money and run.

It's counter-intuitive but you're right.

It's a close cousin to "greed is good".

Some interesting comments in the reddit thread above.

Claims that Musk kept most of the H1B guys at Twitter simply because of leverage, that they risked deportation should they do something to warrant dismissal.
 
ummmm what did we expect when vance's wife is an indian and thiel's buddy in crime vivek too and silicon valley has been firing white millenials and gen z'er positions for years now (kitchen sink)? is it really that hard for people to see where this is all going? feels like twilight zone where most people are simply fucking retarded and can't predict lunch tomorrow, much less the shocking revelation that (gasp!) the indians are bringing in their own!

oh and kamala is indian too. rocket science!
 
Howdy fellow America First patriots.

Simpsons predictions and all that.

Feel free to repost, I'm the inventor of this stupid meme.

Can you name any billionaires from previous administrations' cabinets?

Even in the case of the administration members who are in single-digit million dollar poverty, their political benefactors are tech bros with the inclinations I described.

I can't. Nor can I name any billionaires in Trump's cabinet.

John Kerry is worth over $100 Million though. Are there any members of Trump's cabinet who are that wealthy?
 
I knew lots of parents who made their kids *grind* and yes, I did look down on them and did not aspire to that for my own kids. I did this for many reasons-- first, I saw the massive burnout among such kids, even the "successful" ones who I went to school with. I didn't want that to happen to my kids. A career is an important part of most people's lives. But it is not, with rare, rare exceptions, life itself. And you don't need to train most people, even at the top of your talent stack, to be those rare, rare exceptions.

I home schooled my child he did very well and was a very happy child. He speaks 3 languages and knows how think outside the box. when it was time for him to go to college he said he wanted to get and MBA and go to law school. Okay well after 2 years came to his dad and I and said he wanted to get a real estate license instead of spending so much time going to school. It did not take much time for us to realize how much money we would be saving and we knew that he was always interested in real estate even as a little child he loved reading real estate adverts so of course we said yes. He has been selling real estate now for 15 years he has his own brokerage and 20 employees. His wife works with him and they are doing great. He hires people from all walks of life and gives everyone a chance to be successful. Some people are just not cut out for sales but the ones who are know how to use the tools my son gives them. Some of them have gone on to start their own companies all with my son's blessings. Of course he has been jerked around but he learns from these experiences and everyday he faces new challenges. His dad is an immigrant and has worked his ass off to get where he is today, My mother was also an immigrant and she had a lot of influence on my son too.
we all support legal immigration and believe if people come here from other countries they should get their ass to work and make a better life.
I have told my son that he better work hard while he is young so when he gets my age he won't have to. He works hard and plays hard and takes wonderful vacations. He has six kids all in private school and I am getting read to help home school one of them because they realize that they are wasting their money keeping her in private school. The youngest one wants me to home school her too we will see.

I can understand wanting to be lazy I have probably been lazy too. I realized early that I wanted a simple life I wanted to live under my means. Meaning I wanted to make more than I spent. I never had trouble making money but I hated the games and the backstabbing. I never competed with anyone buy myself. I always considered myself self employed even if I was working for someone else know I could easily walk away from any job if the crap got too deep. Someone told me that I needed to be careful about trying to push someone else down in order to get what I wanted because there is bad karma in doing that. If I worked some where that my supervisor was screwing the boss I knew that I should be very careful about even looking at the boss least that person become jealous.

My son likes being competitive and so does his wife. They want more things than I did and they get what they want. I told them about being careful of walking on others because one day someone might pull the same thing on them. They get rid of people wh try to put the moves on either one of them because they are smart and won't put up with it. My son fires the men who try to put moves on his wife and his wife fires the women who thing they are going to seduce my son. She trains the women and he trains the men. They hire people who have recently obtained their licensee and teach them how to do it sell real estate.. They want all of their employees to have a good experience and they love it when someone comes to them and says they are ready to go out on their own. But if the don't produce they let them go so they can bring in more people. They do not want people working for them for them who are not happy doing their job. I am so proud of my son and his wife they have gained wisdom beyond their years.

My son's wife is an immigrant she came here with her mother when she was a child and she saw how hard her single parent mother worked to keep a roof over their heads. Now her mother and I are best of friends and we bask together going on nice vacations and spending holidays with our children and grand children. Life is getting more awesome everyday.
