Ignorant propagandized aggrieved voter (usually whitey) + self-interested wealthy = fascist’s dream. And here we are.

Meanwhile, today’s teens are scratching their heads and saying “The mall? Isn’t that where Grandpa and Grandma X met?”

Am I mistaken or did Elno not complete his engineering degree?

My white boy public high school grad son went to an out of state good state school and is an electrical engineer. He makes way more money than I do. He’s also good at what he does and his bosses love him. He watched way more of those stupid shows mentioned by Vivek than I would have like but as far as I can tell did not make life choices based on the characters in them. Not sure where I am going with all that except Fuck You Elon and Vivek.

American tech bro businessmen hire immigrant computer chip engineers for the exact same reason American construction and landscaping businessmen hire immigrant day laborers. The same reason American farmers hire immigrant harvesters of fruit. They do the job for less money!

Update:

-

The MAGA Civil War is now heating up to Nuclear Meltdown. Emperor Elon Of Mars is telling his biggest fans that disagree with him to have sexual relations with their own faces. On top of that, Emperor Elon Of Mars DEMANDS that all of the '“hateful, unrepentant racists” should be removed from the Republican Party “root and stem.""

Never thought I would see day when I agree with Loomer. Great to see her take on the US oligarchs, and how they are ‘playing’ Trump!

With nearly 50% of those who voted, voting for Trump, I’m not persuaded that there are enough Americans smart enough to fill the engineering jobs available. I understand that there are engineers who voted for Trump, and some may even be quite capable, but in general, I’m not going to trust that a Trump voter really understands what they are doing in any part of their life.

Don't underestimate how much the extremely wealthy benefit from Trump policies and some engineers will believe they are temporarily embarrassed billionaires.

The thing about your lil thesis there is that the Americans smart enough to fill those engineering jobs are probably not going to be Trump voters

They would have voted for the Policy Lady

Y’all… seeing a lot of blatantly wrong info about the H1B and other employment visas in the comments that tracks shitty reporting by media types who know fuck-all about immigration. Don’t fall for the conservative talking points.

as i'm in my 'furious' phase of the trump recovery journey, i will assume other fellow travelers have made the point that trump's followers are in fact "stupid, lazy, and genetically inferior".

also, i'm sick of NOT blaming the fucking voters.

"So weird how these people can all comprehend how structural racism works when they imagine it happening to white people!" Says so much in one compact sentence. Thank you, Robyn.

Vivek is also not comprehending that to the average American he is just like the other brown takers. He couldn't possibly have gotten anywhere on his own so they will of course scoff at his mythical American vs. Asian culture explanations. And of course he's completely ignoring his own privileged Brahman upbringing and the advantages he reaped for winning the fetus gene pool instead of being born into an untouchable caste.

"Venerated mediocrity? trumpy and musky even in their wildest dreams could not reach the level of mediocrity. Not that they try very hard.

As a woman worked in the tech field, I can say with certainty that there would be a lot more outstanding employees available if women weren't treated with such disrespect and passed over for jobs in favor of less qualified men. I wanted to be a manager (my work reports were all excellent), so I commuted about 100 miles round trip, after work, to get my MBA. I took one or two classes at a time. When an entry level manager job came up, they didn't even post it. They gave it to a guy they played basketball with.

My son the engineer’s manager is a woman and if I remember correctly is a couple years younger than he is. I think she got her master’s before becoming a mgr but she is in her late 20’s.
