Wingnutties out of control!

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Sadly, I thought it possible. I'm shocked by the election, but not surprised. Collectively, we are a vicious, ignorant, whiny, violent people. So many things will be screwed up now, not the least of which will be a halt to our inadequate leadership combating AGW. This will be an extinction-level effect.

That's like me and visiting LNF..... I know it's not healthy, but the temptation to address the idiots is overwhelming. It accomplishes nothing and wastes time I could be more productive with.

I heard that Useless disappeared. Has he come back? If not, it's been nearly a month and I'm thinking of joining. You're not a very good recruiter ;)

I didn't think of the similarity to my foray into RW radio :think: Maybe not.

Looks like he's back posting a few times a day.

Mostly short sentences and not really saying much of anything.

Wonder if he was in the hospital or something.

MAGA rift: Musk+Ramaswamy vs. Bannon, Loomer, etc..

Steve Bannon Joins War Against Elon Musk as MAGA Implodes
Donald Trump’s biggest fans are at each other’s throats over immigration, and H-1B visas in particular.

https://newrepublic.com/post/189694/ste ... mmigration
H-1B visas? That’s not what it’s about. It’s about taking American jobs and bringing over essentially what have become indentured servants at lower wages,” the former Trump adviser turned pundit said, referring to the visa program that allows immigrants in specialized fields to work in the United States temporarily.

“This thing’s a scam by the oligarchs in Silicon Valley to basically take jobs from American citizens, give them to what become indentured servants from foreign countries, and then pay ‘em less. Simple. To let them in through the golden door,” Bannon added.

social media on Wednesday morning, posting on X about how more foreign tech workers need to be allowed to work in the United States because “there is a permanent shortage of excellent engineering talent.” Vivek Ramaswamy, Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency sidekick, generated his own backlash from the right Thursday by suggesting American culture was to blame for why employers seek tech employees from overseas.
I hate that I sort of agree with Steve Bannon. 😡

H1B holders should be given more leniency to move between companies. I think right now they have 60 days to find a new sponsor before they have to leave. Bannon is right in some ways. They have no choice but to put up with a lot more abuse by employers. No wonder that shit bag Musk is highly supportive.

On the flip side, it also benefits the US to attract talent from abroad. But I highly suspect this is abused and companies likely pretend they can't find said talent locally.

In any case, it'll be interesting watching the various MAGA factions consume one another

Free speech absolutist, Musk, retaliates:

https://newrepublic.com/post/189683/elo ... rification
Laura Loomer, Gavin Mario Wax, ConservativePAC, and Owen Shroyer all had their X verification badges removed Thursday night after criticizing Musk’s stances on labor and immigration earlier in the day.

“All of our influencers have now lost verification status, as well as our own page,” the Trump-supporting ConservativePAC wrote. “Our brand did nothing. We spoke out against HB1 visas and it appears that @elonmusk intentionally shut us down? Is this the new status quo from America’s ‘most free’ social media platform?”

“I mean right after @elonmusk called me a troll today, my account verification was taken away, my subscriptions were deactivated and I was banned from being able to buy premium even though I was already paying for premium,” said Loomer. “Clearly retaliation.”

“My verification badge is now under review. Weird! Didn’t change anything,” said Gavin Mario Wax, another vocal critic of H-1B visas.

Bannon's full of it, as usual. That's not the way H1B works. Pay has to be the higher of either an externally measured "prevailing wage" or the average amount paid to other employees preforming similar work. If the employer terminates them, it has to pay their way back home if the employee doesn't find another sponsor. There's a lot of expense and hoop-jumping involved with H1B people. If an employer could easily hire somebody from a competitor down the street, they'd do it.

It always comes down to White supremacist racism. It's not like Bannon and Loomer care about engineers from Holland.
