Sure thats what they always do. Even when they win.

They won’t block this when it has such obvious public support behind it. They’ll daydream about doing it and threaten it in a jokingly way but when push comes to shove theres nothing they can do.

Then you better start behaving yourself, Mister. No more unauthorized wars in the Middle East.

Sounds like a sour loser. Must be sad he can’t get away with mega-hyper-grifting anymore.

Seize the means of the chopped brisket!

AI will help him pen this trantrum

Temper tantrum

If you don’t stop whining we won’t stop at McDonalds on the way home.

Not enough mass. The airliners were wide bodies and were fully fueled at the time of impact. Thats like 9,000 gallons of fuel. Imagine how heavy it is to carry a 1 gallon jug of milk, imagine how much 9,000 of those would feel. You wouldn’t want to try to catch a full 1 gallon jug of milk if I tossed it down from a 3rd story window, right? Now imagine that gallon of milk moving 3-4 times as fast…now multiply that by 9,000.

That roadster is going to be out of fuel by time it gets up to the 100th floor. Amateurs.

They are standing up against it but they still can’t compete with Wall Street PE firms that see AI as another way to eliminate a certain percentage of that pesky human labor that costs so dang much to keep alive.

How exactly are we suppose to stop such greed when we aren’t allowed to remove these elements from our economy? Voting doesn’t fix it. Boycotting doesn’t fix it. Its entrenched. History offers but one suggestion and the system is very anti-violence these days.

The real issue isn’t that we don’t want/trust a women to be president, Hillary won the popular vote and plenty of people voted for Kamala despite her never being the first kid to be picked for dodgeball. The issue I see is there is a contingency of liberals who are adamant that we must only elect a woman as president now.

I volunteered during Kamala’s campaign and came across this group, it was called something like a woman president no matter what. To this day I’m not sure if they weren’t some psyop group meant to make sure she lost or if this is a genuine group that believes we need to elect a woman whatever the cost. Problem is we’ve lost 2 easy elections by running women who just didn’t have any charisma (and like it or not the presidency is a popularity contest and the more charismatic person usually wins.)

Instead of forcing it every election and losing to literal monsters we need to just wait for the right one to come along. AOC might be that very person but shes probably still too young for 2028. Identity politics sucks going both ways and history has shown we can elect minorities and women to government without playing identity politics (minorities and women started getting elected to congress decades ago before all this virulent identity politics shit began.)

The path to hell is paved with good intentions.

And to remind everyone that these stubborn types exist in the liberal camp and can fuck things up when their ego’s are allowed to go unchecked just remember Obama tried to get RBG to resign when they could’ve voted in a suitable replacement that wasn’t an antique. She declined because she wanted to be a judge when the first woman president was elected, which never happened. Instead, her stubbornness and lack of hubris cost her one of the single most important rulings she ever issued and one that directly affected millions of women.

Oops. Look, we’re all human and we all make mistakes but the wise old judge is suppose to realize this in thanks to their wisdom. The more I learn about RBG the more I realize that humility isn’t a universal trait. Both political parties and all the factions within them would be wise to learn some humility. Forcing another bad candidate and cheering “yah for women you must vote for her” could cost them another election they could probably win.

Yeah unpopular opinion but floor mattress is ideal for pounding. More stable, less squeaky, can still do a full range of positions on it.

Sorry buddy. But as they say, all good things must come to an end.

Maybe the solution is to enforce the immigration regs and penalize employers who hire undocumented people.

That would be the most effective way, which is why they don’t do it. They need that exploitation to make record profits for themselves and the shareholders.

Supreme court needs to overturn Ford v Dodge Brothers, the case that established that companies are only accountable to their shareholders, since a century later its clear that companies have an obligation to multiple parties and not just the shareholders. A company needs to comply with safety regulations to protect its employees to reduce the risk of having to pay for medical treatment as a result of an injury, paying employees better ensures a higher level of productivity in most cases which itself could be a benefit to the shareholders, companies need to make sure their costumers are happy so they need to offer a quality product that won’t poison them, etc. Plenty of examples of a company having responsibilities to others, in some cases we can argue this practice itself benefits the shareholders and yet we still see corporations believing this antiquated idea that was decided by an ancient court case from an entirely different era.

Then providing some protections for all workers, even the illegal ones, while also passing legislation that prohibits and punishes out-sourcing. Prior to Reagan most undocumented workers were just Mexicans who crossed the border to do seasonal work or a daily routine (maids) for localities near the border, then they’d go home at the end of the day or season. These jobs aren’t really competitive so let them do these things so long as they aren’t hurting people. H1B’s definitely steal good paying jobs, thats why we hear about Indian’s scamming their way into them with fake degrees and certifications. Highly competitive jobs shouldn’t be up for grabs like that.

All these call centers shipped to India that access are personal info is going to bite us in the ass sooner or later. Make it illegal for companies to do that and we’ll see jobs pour back into the USA. No reason not to, a large and stable middle class fuels economic growth.

It’s all trash. They should’ve just charged us to continue to maintain win 7. I’d have bought another license for an additional 10 years of regular updates.

Ah yes don’t fix the problem just let it continue to get worse and worse.

This is about as realistic as Americans doing their own farming after kicking out all the Mexicans.

Few differences here between tech jobs and farming. Tech jobs are the pinnacle of earners. Harvesting/Farming is one of the lowest form of income generation. Much easier to return those high skill jobs to Americans. Higher wages only hurt the CEO and upper management, wonder why they hired cheap slave labor to begin with.

Honestly the visa holders might be in better shape.

Most of these H1B jobs were coming from India, national notorious for fraud. In fact, lying and buying credentials is so ingrained in Indian culture when tech workers were tested on their skills something like 95% were found unsuitable for IT work. So I’m not super worried about losing that “talent” to India, we’ve got plenty of actual talent in the USA still. For years the younger generations were told to learning programming and get a CS degree. I bet we would find more than 5% of them are capable.

Also, talk to any American tech worker who has experienced out-sourcing to India or bringing in “talent” from India via H1B and you’ll hear some fun horror stories. Usually goes like this; manager wanted a bonus so he fires the team and sources Indians, usually because some consultant company contacted him with “they will work for $2 a day” promises. The replacements will either be totally incompetent from day one, sometimes they start off well until the workload is moved to new people (the people who start are actually skilled and over the course of weeks they move on to the next project and their replacements are totally incompetent.) After destroying the companies mainframe, database, software, website, etc the manager ends up firing them and begging the original team members to return to fix things.

I’ve heard and read dozens of such accounts. I experienced it myself. H1B’s tend to suck. At best they’re skilled but often suffer a noticeable language barrier and culture barrier.

There was no scheme to replace the American worker, that’s just how capitalism works.

There was, in fact, a scheme to replace the American worker with H1B. In fact, tech companies lobbied for H1B in the 1990’s then expanded it. In order to say they couldn’t find American workers they’d use all kinds of schemes; demanding levels of experience for insultingly low wages, running the ad in obscure news papers in the middle of bumfuck USA so no one would see them, etc. Oh, and then recruiting companies from India got involved.

If it’s literally cheaper to import labor, it’s not objectively the companies fault

I could literally replace every single American right now regardless of their age with someone for India. That replacement will cost less money. Why aren’t we replacing all Americans with Indians? Indian retiree’s get like $3 a month for social security, verse $1500 for Americans. Why don’t we replace all the American’s drawing SS with Indian elderly people and pocket the difference?

We have to find a practical balance between our society thriving and corporate greed.

Probably helps that everything post Windows 7 has sucked.

I favor incarceration with no bail.
