POLITICAL THREAD

[hmt5000]

These tweets are trying to draw conclusions that just arent true. Talk to anyone in tech. There is a massive talent void. They literally cant hire people. Without these visas, production in our tech industry would literally grind to a halt.

Everyone's ire should be on offshoring. That's what actually cuts into wages and their work product is poor.

How do you think we got to this point though? It didn't start last year. We've been using our immigration process as a way to drive down wages for decades. Then when people don't even consider working in those jobs we "Need" to import more because American's "won't" work. I'm truly interested on what people think is going to happen when we stop doing anything here domestically? Just keep doing more of the same and hope for a different result I guess. It's always worked out great in the past. I guess if it gets bad enough people will stop coming in because our standard of living will lower than theirs... that's something to look forward to.

Joe is doing NOTHING. It is his handlers...the real communists...

Just curious. Can you name three Communist policies that Biden enacted in the last 4 years? What private industries/companies did Biden seize and place the government in charge of??
Also.... Are you a fan of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid etc? Those are socialist programs.
Might wanna check your definition of "Communism". 😂

You couldn't be more wrong and obviously don't know the US ASYLUM Law. Read up buddy.....
"Is seeking asylum legal?
Yes, seeking asylum is legal. Asylum seekers must be in the U.S. OR at a port of entry (an airport or an official land crossing) to request the opportunity to apply for asylum."

Is it legal to cross the U.S. border to seek asylum?

People arriving at the U.S. border have the legal right to request asylum without being criminalized, turned back or separated from their children.

www.rescue.org

"However, under U.S. law, a person seeking asylum may do so by arriving at the border and asking to be screened by U.S. officials at a “port of entry,” or by entering the U.S. without prior inspection and then declaring their fear of persecution."

Five Things to Know About the Right to Seek Asylum

Although our laws provide a clear right for people fleeing persecution to seek asylum in the United States, anti-immigration lawmakers have purposefully sown confusion about the law, the process of applying for asylum, and what is really needed to ensure a fair and orderly system for considering...

www.aclu.org

In typical fashion you are ill informed. Certainly the illegals are motivated by leftist coaching to claim asylum. In your ignorance you believe a simple claim is all that is necessary. Well guess what, shocker, 71% of those claims are BS and the claim denied....see ya. Get your facts straight.

Gawd you're dumb. Fortunately with him being on vacation 40% of his term he was limited in getting anything accomplished. Not that he didn't try. Like his communist attempt to overturn legal contracts known as student loans. Communist policies like telling citizens what kitchen appliances they can own. Dictates like communists would make such as min wage rates. Communist style of pardons for his family.

As for your idiotic calling SSI as socialism? It is actually insurance that we pay into...our own account. Far from socialism.

Biden takes jab at Trump while applauding Jimmy Carter's decency, shares fondest memory with late president

President Biden held a press conference about former President Jimmy Carter's legacy on Sunday, sharing fond memories with the late statesman while also criticizing Trump.

It got this way by an entire generation being brainwashed with the woke mind virus. They wont work. Then you have tech exploding.

These companies hire every American they can get. Hardly any programmer has a 4 year degree. Any entry level programming job pays over 60k easily. I know people making an incredible wage that didn't even graduate highschool.

They have by far the most relaxed work environment and facilities probably in the history of our country. Their workplace looks like a game room. Think a factory worker can just decide to take a break to play video games or get food/coffee/craft beer from their in house amenities? Lawyers certainly cant.

None of that happens if there is a good roster of talent out there. What little there is, with any experience, can basically name their price and are constantly getting poached for more money and better office environments.

Its unlike any other industry in the history of our country and the power structure is all with the employees because of the numbers problem. Thats WITH the foreign workers. Without them, everything stops.

Hopefully gets a tough punishment for both crimes. This dumb b-tch stole a car pretending to have a gun and then sold it for $40 haha. She didn't even ask for triple digits.

From the article:

A 26-year-old Memphis woman was arrested on Christmas Eve after allegedly assaulting a nurse at Methodist South Hospital, stating she did not want to be treated by a white attendant.

The incident occurred on Tuesday when the woman, Dashawna Williams, reportedly punched a nurse in the face with a closed fist while receiving treatment at the hospital. According to law enforcement, Williams admitted to striking the nurse because of her race.

Court records also revealed that Williams had an outstanding warrant from December 4 in connection to a carjacking case, according to a report from WREG.

Last year, she allegedly approached a man outside a convenience store, pretended to have a gun, and demanded his Nissan Altima. After taking the vehicle, she reportedly sold it for $40.

We had a black guy shoot up our camp at Tan My with an M-16 because he felt he was being put upon. I think he mostly just wanted to go home because he didn't hit anybody. He got to go home, but I expect he spent some time in the brig before they discharged him.

Again, like clockwork.... You show how little you understand the terminology you regurgitate daily.
"Communism: In a Communist system, individual people do not own land, factories, or machinery. Instead, the government or the whole community owns these things."
Forgiving student loans was overturned by the Supreme Court. A truly Communist leader would have ignored the ruling and implemented it anyway. Not really sure how that's communist anyway. May be a government policy you don't like... But it's far from seizing control of land, factories and privately owned means of business.
What appliance company was seized under Biden and taken control by the government?? Musta missed that one. Government advocating for appliances that save energy or use certain types of energy is a POLICY.... Not communism.
Pardons are a legal Presidential power...not Communism. 😂😂😂😂
Don't like that policy, vote for people that will enact different POLICIES.
As far as SS...it is absolutely a socialist program.
"Socialism: Any of various egalitarian economic and political theories or movements advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods."
Do you have a choice in whether you pay into Social Security?? Nope.
Is the money collected mandatory and controlled by the government then shared evenly (based on your quarters) with the people?? Yup.
That's Socialism.
Educate yourself about what communism and socialism are before spouting off nonsense and looking like a fool.

Feds finally release photos showing then-VP Biden meeting son Hunter’s China biz partners — days before he leaves office

The cache of photos were released long after their potential political salience and days before Biden retires on Jan. 20.

nypost.com

This sht really pisses me off. They had this before the 2020 election and should've put him in prison for the documents and these meetings alone. Just releasing the truth about this and impeaching him, as well as not letting him perjure himself repeatedly, was the LEAST they could've done. A curse on all of the rinos, politicized agencies, and bureaucrats who covered this all up and refused to act, as well as the perps themselves

 

[Girthang]

If the major H1B abusers weren’t also some of the companies directly responsible for promoting the woke bullshit that has infected the school systems, that’d be a good point.

Google et al can reap what they sowed. Not promote leftist bullshit every step of the way then complain they need foreign workers because they can’t find competent American workers given the lefty bullshit they promote.

Biden, as we know, didn't enact a damn thing. Problem.
SS, no. My money paid in placed in a simple money market or in the s&p 500 would be exponentially larger.
Medicare, no. Open the state borders and create competition for insurance. Prices go down.
Medicaid, not so much. Citizens only with needs testing.
Socialist programs are for simpleton asshats who want big brother to take care of them.

The alignment with Marxist ideals comes with the anti-family, anti-faith & "violent criminals are victims of an unjust system & should be released fm prisons" --- those are areas where it seems some segments of US politicians have aligned with Marx

Also - the actual calls for violence as part of a revolution -- thats your revolution of the proletariat Marx says is inevitable

Using foreign ethnicities & people groups to destabilise and gaslighting you into believing youre ideologically isolated & powerless --- those are Stalinist tricka

The purposeful overloading of the welfare system and other aspects of our economy -- thats another purposeful use of conflict to generate new realities -- creation via destruction --- closely align with Marx's "dialectical materialism" and how history happens

Sex with anyone , anything and the removal of all taboos - while also calling marriage "slavery" and decrying the "patriarchal system "
--- thats mostly Marx's coauthor, Freddie Engalls


There are clear Marxist methods and thought forms being more widely applied & leveraged


Reading the Gulag Archipelago will help you understand some of the other tactics and attacks you can expect

Communism and Marx's brand of socialism should both be permanently banned fm any serious political discourse or endeavor just as the German version of National Socialism is no longer considered acceptable politics

There are probably other instances of alignment with that damned man but - those are quickies and offered as a genuine to your question

Also I know there's a difference between Marx's socialism & the French socialists who I think predated him

So if you're going to talk about socialism we really should clarify -- do you mean

1) methodical means of dividing up the "stuff"
And harnessing capital + the means of production to meet the most needs - healthy government regulation along the way

OR

2) Do you mean Marx's inhumane version where institutions of faith and The Family Unit are entities that must be destroyed - morals are outmoded and the socialist revolution progresses to communism (single state no more socialists) - which then allegedly progresses to "A Stateless Society"


If you are backing Marx then you are.worth resisting with all means possible

[AustinTXCat]

you think fellow humans trying to make a better life for their kids is tyranny? and the constitution does not address immigration. the only thing it mentions is naturalization. IT essentailly allows the executive branch to do anything it wants because it falls under foreign affairs. pretty short sighted for it to have never been ammended in early on. Congress can pass laws about it but we have established the last 100 years that the exective can ignore them at its pleasure. hell even the 2 main immigration acts allow the the president to overide most of it.

 

[SDC888]

Our resident leftists have only a very shallow and simplistic understanding of what's being discussed. Like Mikey's "national socialists weren't socialists just because they used the name!!" Sam thinks, "how can we be communists when the state doesn't own everything?"

It's just ignorance: they know nothjing... not like our former resident loser leftists, Dion, or that walking-talking Dunning-Kruger, Dreadlox. They understood what was actually being discussed; they were just unabashedly dishonest, not merely ignorant and naive.

 

[bigblueinsanity]

Then why so many layoffs by tech companies making record profits?

AI doing the jobs

Why do they need to hire H1Bs if AI is doing the work?

Ai isn't taking too many programming jobs....yet. Any layoffs are mergers and acquisitions or just the company product flopped.

When i say their product flopping, i mean it never really developed a market. There is so much money in tech, vc firms will literally pump 100s of millions into an idea (you can get a few million funded for basically any functioning idea) to build it out to see if it has a market. That process happens over a few rounds and a few years. If the product flops, the company is done. If its just flat, then personnel are adjusted accordingly.

The best way i can describe tech is its like the gold rush except if the miners all had to be very smart and focused. The money is virtually unlimited but the labor is in short supply. The labor has huge leverage because they are so limited.

People should carefully monitor those on the right pushing this anti work visa nonsense. At best theyre talking about something they don't know. At worst they're trying to wedge off some important people directly responsible for trump winning. If its the latter - we should find out why.

 

[bigblueinsanity]

If there should be any blowback on the h1b visas, it should be in the medical community. If you want to see a profession where greed used imports to drive down American wages, there you go.

Essentially most every hospital uses these for cheap er labor. Since the foreign md candidate has to do 2 years here (iirc) before they have a full license, they get stuck in the er working 80 hours a week for about 40k. If they are a specialist or higher, they get used as slave labor there too.

In that industry, the abuse of these visas absolutely do drive down us wages and they effectively created this shortage of doctors we now have. I say abuse caused it because this practice of low wage is supposed to be disallowed but apparently noone looks into it.

You clueless dolt. This right here speaks volumes about her ignorance: This motivated her to take on childhood obesity. She set her sights on schools because “the most important place to start tackling this issue is in our schools.”

You can try to educate in the schools, but the actions and the discipline starts in the home. Slapping some fruits and veggies on a plate for what may be the only meal some get doesn't even sniff the obesity issue. You think these kids aren't heading to the nearest 7/11 for some twinkies after school?

Your ignorance never ceases to amaze.
