These guys couldn’t even make it to the inauguration. I like it though - it’s fun. It’s a real policy discussion, just done in WWE style.

I haven’t really examined the chart, but I can imagine all the unanticipated outcomes that have occurred. Still, a smart immigration policy would be welcome.

Dang ... Bannon characterizes Musk with the term "running dog [for the CCP]" ... that's particularly damning when mentioned in the context of cozying up to the CCP. It's at the same level as accusing a Jew of working for the Nazi.

Likewise the term “enemy of the people” Trump sometimes has used originated similarly during the Great Terror.

With the CCP in context, the term "running dog" can be a literal translation of the term 「走狗」, the usage of which predates Marx by a century, commonly used in Chinese literature to label those working for evil powers to oppress their own people.

Possible then that the Bolsheviks appropriated it from the Chinese. Would come as no surprise.

My experience with H1B hires is all about cheap labor.
The talk about talent is nonsense.

Not sure what is nonsensical about talk about talent, but certainly talent at a discount is what H1Bs are about.

That's not bad. Just curious, did you see it on your twitter feed, or did you come up with it?

I came up with it here during his last term. Even tried to find my exact line but search is broken at the old site. “Equal and opposite” even in quotes was showing me every post with ‘and’ in it.

You realize that if they cut off the H1B Visas, there would be practically nobody left playing piano in the US. Right?

This is like the whole “They’re eating the pets” issue. Young and educated American kids are not losing their employment opportunities to young and educated foreign nationals, though it is likely lowering the wage levels by 5% or so… They possibly are affecting older tech employees that once laid off have problems finding new opportunities, though that’s as much about new technologies passing them by as it is foreigners taking their jobs.
But, at the same time, there are some abuses in the system that do need to be rectified and corrected…
