I don't know much about his lore but I wouldn't be surprised if he spun his to portray himself as a gifted talent stifled by the school system

The continuation of the piss poor US income distribution and 3rd World working conditions.

It costs money, has long term effects, and helps people so that’s a no go.

An educated citizenry is required for a well functioning democracy that benefits that citizenry. That is not in the interest of republican politicians and their benefactors.

We can't hire Americans **because they expect to be paid properly

Also the beauty of H1B visa people is that because they have to leave the country (or find another job) in 30 days in the even that they get fired, it means they are perfect for assholes like that billionaire. "Agree to do this or go back to that shit hole"

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago

I sort of remember for Trump’s first term, one of his campaign promises was to set a salary minimum for H1B workers. Out of a thoroughly insane agenda, that was the one policy I liked, because it returned that program to its intent - hiring specialized experts that can’t be found here.

Of course, he didn’t follow through and do it.

"We can't educate Americans if we want to keep winning elections"

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 week ago

It's the government's job to educate the masses! But not like that! And not with my money!

"What do you need an education for anyway? I didn't have an education and look at me now; I'm president of the United States!"

They want what's best for them, not what's best for us. Cheap, loyal labor from countries worse, off than ours is ideal.

Let the Americans eat paste.
