  • Progressives Say GOP's H-1B Visa Feud Distracts From Real Problem: 'Billionaire Robber Barons'

    Jump

  • I think there is a case to be made for H-1B visas for extremely advanced fields with rarified knowledge, which was the original intent for the visa. It needs major reform at least, but I would not object to just removing it given how pervasive the corrupt use of it is.

  • Trump sides with Musk in H-1B fight

    Jump

  • Trump was always going to side with moneyed interests. Though he is certainly racist, he doesn't care about his supporters or what they want. His in-group is crass wealth.

  • Major Trump donors who complained of immigrant ‘invasion’ used Mexican workers illegally, sources allege

    Jump

  • "Experts say this practice is likely illegal"

    Um, it is definitely illegal. Employers are required to obtain proof of eligibility from new hires. You cannot work on a tourist visa so if you employ such workers you are in violation of the law.

    But of course these Trumpists will never be punished, it's much easier to destroy the workers lives. If the Republicans were serious about tackling illegal immigration they would enforce the law on employers by levying heavy punitive fines for violations. It would be a lot cheaper than mass deportation.

    But then we would have to reform immigration to allow for legal entry to meet labor needs and businesses want cheap labor here illegally so they can be abused.

  • Rand Paul floats Elon Musk for House Speaker

    Jump

  • I think Rand is genuine, I suspect other members of the caucus are eager to introduce Musk to politics on the hill.

  • Rand Paul floats Elon Musk for House Speaker

    Jump

  • They should do it. A lot of reps are sharpening their knives advocating for this irritant to step into their turf.

    The Speaker makes a lot of enemies. A speaker with slim majority with a caucus full of petulant narcissists, zealots and corrupt grifters is going to have a bad time. Nobody should want that job. Imagine being handed an unwinnable situation and then personally taking all the blame when it doesn't go the way your infantile emperor desires. This is a plot to ice Musk out of the halls of power.

  • Sacramento sheriff's office patrol vehicle spotted on streets of Poland

    Jump

  • Just because they can't do anything to stop it doesn't mean they can't get all huffy about it. That is what I'd expect out of a lot of agencies, tbh.

  • Sacramento sheriff's office patrol vehicle spotted on streets of Poland

    Jump

  • And the Sheriffs office not being dicks about it is a refreshing change of pace.

  • How Americans responded in 1955 when the invention of the polio vaccine was announced

    Jump

  • Even if the vaccine caused autism (which it does not), that would still be better than polio.

  • Societal Collapse

    Jump

  • I do enjoy how GenX doesn't appear at all. Very appropriate.

  • Moderators Across Social Media Struggle to Contain Celebrations of UnitedHealthcare CEO’s Assassination

    Jump

  • The professional killer was the one who died.

  • YouTube is now AI-generating comment prompts

    Jump

  • Just a slight pedantic nitpick. Given the enormous cost of training, it is unlikely Google trains or finetunes models for individual channels.

    The model was likely trained on millions of creator comments, possibly including Russell, but not necessarily.

    Gemini has a large context limit, the bot loads the context with that channels comments along with the comment it is replying to. _

  • Why are you like this‽

    Jump

  • My cat pushes the bridge of her nose into the bridge of my nose, as long as I'm gentle I can push back a little and she starts purring.

  • Anon tries watching nu-Trek

    Jump

  • My response to the first five episodes was very much "It's like the writers are justifying a councilor being on the bridge crew."

  • What's With the Wesley Hate?

    Jump

  • I'd just like to thank him for possibly changing my life. My husband had a tweenage crush on Wesley which caused him to be into nerdy guys like me as an adult. So I might be married thanks to Will's role on TNG.

  • Trump picks vaccine skeptic RFK Jr. for Health and Human Services secretary

    Jump

  • Vaccines are unprofitable for pharmaceutical companies. If he defunds the research and production of vaccines they will vanish even if they are not banned. There are just so many ways this idiot can and will kill us all.

  • Locked

    Lemmings living in red states, how’re you doing?

    Jump

  • I am moving to a blue state as soon as possible. Work already lined up, working on housing and arrangements for my animals. It's not safe here.

  • Abortion used to just be a Catholic thing, but after the Civil Rights Act was passed political opportunists sought a new issue to drive southern evangelicals and abortion was it (and later gay people, but abortion was first).

    Now however, the con has been bought by those in power and joined with the more toxic forms of longtermism which posits that humans must reproduce at all costs. And here we are today.

  • They say that, but when Ken Paxton subpoenas them they will say they have no choice. It would be better to use an app that doesn't store this data server side at all.

  • What seemingly random thing do you vehemently hate?

    Jump

  • It's the sound of snow squeak-crunching under my feet for me. I shudder every time it happens.
