Immigration hate causing backlash against H1Bs, abort, abort!

Yeah, I’m biased because I would be getting bombed in my apartment right now if we couldn’t immigrate

I work with h1bs, I’m in tech. There are incredibly sharp people who come on this visa

My dad came on a H1B and he was very well paid when he got his green card. I’d say that makes him an expert sys admin

And yet, rated as an above average president by historians. Trump is somewhere at the bottom of the pile

There are H1Bs of every level, even experts in their field. You clearly don’t work in tech and just regurgitate what you see others write

They don’t have enough money to even pay one year’s budget though. They are very rich, but we spend 6.3 trillions

There are 801 billionaires in the US with a wealth of 6.22 trillions - even if you take every single penny you come up short

90% was the top rate, in practice the rich during that time paid less tax than today because they had huge loopholes

Top 1% paid only 16.9% of their income in tax compared to 25.9% now (of the total amount, you can be in a higher bracket and your total percentage will always be lower than your bracket)

People voted for him because he was a war hero and said fuck the banks. As a result, when he was elected he paid off the national debt. I don’t mean he didn’t run a deficit, he paid off the entire balance.

If you think Trump is comparable, just look at the deficit he left us

Just because of this I switched most of my activity to BlueSky. It’s not really federated, but at least it’s not Twitter. I use Mastodon as well, but it’s basically the same audience as Lemmy.

I don’t have time to read, these games are not going to play themselves

This exact fact shows they update their beliefs based on new data

They can do those jobs, but are they the most qualified candidates for those jobs?

My dad came to America on this visa and then got a green card. Now our whole family are citizens. If he wasn’t able to do that, I’d be sitting in a bunker somewhere in Eastern Ukraine after getting drafted

China is transitioning to electric just fine. You sound like the guy who predicted only 1 billion people can live on Earth without starving.

That’s why you connect to Canada

He’s in the business of promoting consumer rights. He didn’t have to lobby for right to repair. He could have just bitched on YouTube forever and pocketed some cash

Same thing, but it pops up with the cashback deal you will actually get. It’s at least splitting the money with you

It doesn’t have to be your name. How about everyone gets a random phrase?

magneticdeerflyinginthesea.person

It’s much easier to remember than like 7 numbers

That’s the problem, I want a personal domain like name.person for the rest of my life. I don’t want it to expire and have to pay extortion rates for my email address

One of the interfaces copies it, so it’s supposed to be a decentralized 4chan. Usernames are not a core feature of it, and anyone can impersonate you unless you post with a hash of your password. That hash is only barely human readable and many people forget what it is.
