T 2.0

None of them are “for the people”, all the left vs right bs is a red herring, an emotional device to distract.
I see your learning fast. I told you 7 years ago not to look left or right. Your neck is so stiff because you only look left. Don't try and come across all independent and naive now. You have been brainwashed by emotional devices called programs like; The View, BLM Live, CNN, Mika and Joe Show and MSNBC. We have 8 years of your writing on here to go back and read to just make sure. You were for all the mandates, lockdowns, masks, jabs, boosters and flu shots. Your Shot!!!
 
"Are the Democrats allowed to pay $11,000,000, $2,000,000, and $500,000 to get the ENDORSEMENT of Beyoncé, Oprah, and Reverend Al? I don’t think so! Beyoncé didn’t sing, Oprah didn’t do much of anything (she called it “expenses”), and Al is just a third rate Con Man. So what is going on here??? Totally against the law, and I have heard there are many others!!!" President Elect Trump

Top Epstein revelations of 2024: Bill Clinton's wish, the 'list,' secret docs made public​

Some of Jeffrey Epstein's associates unsealed by court order this year.......​

 
I can't take him seriously. It's mental illness level delusion if he's sincere, gaslighting otherwise. @dad4 is the only one that argues the "other" side on occasion that comes across as authentic.
It's one thing to have an opinion, its another thing to deny reality. Maybe reality is just a "cheap fake" to him.
 
Is X part of the MSM? I see X is decertifying conservative commentators who disagree with Musk over H1Bs. I see that replies to some of those commentators which agree with them are being labelled as possible spam, which is pretty weird.

The whole H1B thing seems somewhat odd to me. Do we need 600,000 H1B employees in the US? Are there really that many exceptional skill sets that cannot be serviced by US citizens or green card holders? I assume that all those 600K must be on the high end from a salary perspective given the shortage of their particular skill set 🤔.

FWIW, I see the short term need for H1Bs, but companies that "need" them should also
  • Concurrently hire a US employee to exclusively shadow with the intent to take over the role in 1-2 years.
  • H1Bs should be paid at the top end of their grade (you'd need those) as they are exceptionally skilled or have a skill set in short supply.
  • H1Bs should be reduced from the current 6 (3 + 3) year max to annual, with a maximum of 3 years total.
  • Annual fee for a H1B should be set to $15,000.
  • Breach for any H1B for a company results in revoking of all visas for that company, subsidiaries and parents and black list for 10 years.
Bet you the 600K would reduce and the number (65K annually) wanted by companies would reduce.

I've worked with people with H1B visa holders and not a single one was "exceptional" or better than people we could have hired in the US. They were good/competent employees "only".

Like everything else the government does, it is subject to abuse. I've seen it effectively used for doctors (in particular there has been a shortage in general medicine). Good and competent is still better than unskilled and/or criminal. I agree that 600,000 sounds excessive.

X is MainStream Social Media. Not news media. It's unfortunate that people get their "news" from X, or any other social media. That having been said, since X is so ubiquitous there shouldn't be any censorship, by Musk, or previously Dorsey.

I think companies abuse it - Congress has approved the 65K annually and the 3+3 = 6 year max. Congress would and should revise all that and put some pretty stringent guardrails around it specifying what qualifies for a H1B visa, e.g. there are hundreds of thousands in tech which is really weird to me as we have 100K-150K computer science graduates annually, so there shouldn't really be a shortage over time.

I think Facebook was the #1 for news that people quoted a while back. That seems to throw the whole MSM theory up in the air as Facebook's algorithms feed you what they think you will like and interact with, including news. So its just reinforcing whatever your existing biases are.

We have definitional differences. I consider the MSM, or aka legacy media, as news media. NBC, CBS, ABC and to a lesser extent cable news CNN, MSNBC, which are left dominated and Fox which is right dominated. X, Insta, Facebook are social media and anyone who gets their news from there is an idiot. You're being disingenous if you dont think the MSM that I mentioned isnt clearly strong left bias. Just look how they tried to cover up Bidens obvious cognitive decline.

I don't look at the news on any of them tbh. Apparently the majority of Americans are not influenced by their bias either, or they don't look at them or they are idiots!

I think the whole MSM thing is over used and pretty old/stale at this point.

That sounds like something Husker would say. I dont watch it, so it doesnt exist. It all falls under the umbrella of denial.

The reason Americans werent influenced is because they trust their eyes more than their ears.

Lol, I don't buy into the whining about MSM being biased that has been going on for years now. Its an old/stale pov that has been disproven at the polls in election after election.

I don't watch cable news as they are just annoying whiny opinion merchants on both sides, I literally tuned out years ago. The actual viewing numbers for cable news are pretty miniscule relative to the population with Fox being the leader having a couple of million viewers at prime time in a country with a population of 340M. Fox had 70 of the top 100 news casts in 2024 for cable news.

The morning shows on your MSM have viewships of 3M or less. The most watched nightly news is around 7M at peak.

150M people voted - they are not been led by MSM. Its just an easy "they're out to get you" argument that doesn't hold any water.
