Seems like this plan is to just get slave labor but only for tech.  That’s horrible for the American worker

Elon is really lashing out on Twitter rn. Vivek is more measured, but he’s squirming. That Patrick Bet David guy is flailing around too.

Trump and Vance not saying anything and just letting them hang themselves is pretty smart iyam.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

I agree with Elon and Vivek on the H1B thing, fwiw. I would also like it to be expanded to blue collar workers, but something is better than nothing. Also, the lower wages they receive are kind of misleading, because the employer has additional costs associated with hiring them.

Rednecks vs Tech Bros is turning out like you’d expect. 

In 2016 Trump pledged to end the H1b skilled labor visas. Now he’s a big supporter. Bannon is super pissed.

Quote

President-elect Trump backs H-1B visas, siding with Elon Musk after the tech billionaire pledged to go to "war" to defend the program and branded GOP opponents "hateful, unrepentant racists."

Why do rednecks hate H1B visas for tech workers? Not competing for the same jobs.

For them, immigration of any kind means that America will be less white and less Christian.

In some great news - we're about a month away from needing to have House committees getting to the bottom of pressing legal issues . . . as we usher out the utterly incompetent Merrick Garland and Christopher Wray.

SCOTUS may get a respite as well, as they may not have to decide multiple cases where the DOJ is misapplying the law for political purposes.
