    With an exception carved out for Tesla, I’m sure.

    In the same vein, all the techbros who voted for Trump are gonna be real asshurt once immigration exemptions are made for tech workers

    Like silicon valley is gonna be forced to pay market rate for American talent, pffh, c’mon now. Wages are like prices but the opposite. Prices always go up and never back down. Wages always come down and never go back up. Tech workers enshittification will commence at triple pace now

      Given our current education deficit, we’ve already had to import quite a bit of talent to keep up with being a first world country.

      Example: when was the last time you encountered an Indian doctor?

      Given the plans to make real/higher education accessible only to the wealthy, we’re going to need to import even more talent.

        Yet they want a blanket ban, and once concentration camps are up and we’re officially beyond the pale…and anything not that same shade of pale finds itself in those camps…I don’t think people are gonna want to emigrate here or any of the five eyes.

        Letting the bankers take the wheel in the 80s has cannibalized the health of all Western society and commodified whatever was left.

        We were told to worship no one other than God/the source/the creator/the allfather/the universe/the truth/whatever you want to call it…but all I see is worship of another invisible diety, this invisible hand of the market - easily the most worshipped god in the modern day. Capitalism is incapable of bringing about salvation, unless you believe in accelerationism, and then everyone participating is gonna be found wanting.

        Like, capitalism has failed to even create a society where it’s own people want to breed in. Something so easy for us and we would rather throw it all away, myself included. For comparison, Mozart had 11 children. 2 survived into adulthood.
