I am waiting to see what he does about immigrant fruit pickers and construction workers. Will he carve out exceptions? Will there only be exceptions to corporations who contribute to his "inauguration"?
What's awesome is we're counting on cognitive dissonance. We're counting on the ability of stupid people to simultaneously believe conflicting things to be true. We're counting on them to realize they've been duped without having to admit it. I'm not holding my breath.
Just another way to get cheap foreign slave labor sanctioned by the government. Once allowed in the country, they can't quite, can't ask for more money and are restricted by the rules of the H1-B Visa's restrictions. Quit your job and your deported. Can't relocate without notifying the government.
This should be a lay up for dems. Not just the people in the administration but their actions should make it easy to message “they don’t care about you, just their billions”.
Elections have consequences, his supporters will soon find out that they have been lied to and cheated. They will be the ones demonstrating next, it will be interesting to see if there are any trump flags at their demonstrations?
Uhh fat 🍊bitch TOLD these morons this IN ADVANCE. They’re ignorant racist misogynist hateful C U Next Tuesdays. And b/c of their DUMB choice to vote for that psycho, we all pay for it at a GLOBAL level.
Not to forget that H1B visa holders will not and cannot object to illegal activities of CEOs, sexual harassment or corruption. They can be fired and send back home
Ultra wealthy wanting to use visas for foreign workers, they will be ok probably. It’s all the other people seeking to employ international workers with visas who might struggle. And red states maybe will have fewer issues, blue states look out 👀
There are many people in the working class who worship billionaires. They don’t think we are in a class war. They voted on culture issues: racism and misogyny.
I agree we are in a class war, but it is fueled by culture issues.
Yes because that’s how the wealth class designed it. The culture wars blind the ignorant to what’s really happening so the wealthy can continue to consolidate wealth and power. That’s not to say there isn’t racial disparity and racism, but those weaknesses are being exploited to advantage the rich
Yes,the toothless with blue tarps on their trailers, trust billionaires over what they perceive as the elite left. But they also buy cigarettes, beer and kratom daily and can’t figure out why they can’t get ahead, and fantasize about the purge, but not against the billionaires,the smarter neighbors
This is exactly the kind of content we need to make the narrative clear - the Trump oligarchy is the enemy of the middle class. They are not working for us.
Is anyone really surprised by Trump's actions? a leopard can't change its spots, a thief will go on stealing, but when you have so called billions and powerful Friends like SCOTUS, who have absolved him from prosecution already, that battle we will never win, and I hate saying that.
Nope. They are last resort when the employer can’t find Americans. HB1s do more than IT. The are scientists, too, needed to work on projects, ya know, to improve our health. No HB1s project can’t start.
It's NOT immigrants or trans folks who are coming after the ACA, Social Security, Medicare, & veteran's healthcare. It's BILLIONAIRE oligarchs like those Trump is stuffing into his administration who claim they are working for the people.
Corporate interests make a fortune using prison slave labor for manual labor jobs, illegal peasant labor for farm work and indentured servants for tech jobs. No wonder that there has been a billionaire explosion.
We don't just need somebody we need everybody non-compliance isn't something that works for any group it works for populations everything the bosses touch has to freeze up every edict they announce has to immediately be violated or simply ignored. Bigger than a labor strike
It's the shunning of the tyrant and every person aligned with them. To do that you've got to love everyone on our side which is nearly everyone people you wouldn't want to know outside of this crisis. But to create peace for everyone and a chance for us all to thrive. Tolerance must be practiced.
The GOP, billionaires, & toxic corporations would rather bring in skilled H-1b visa holders than educate Americans because both illiterate voters and workers with few rights are easier to manipulate and exploit.
It's all about money and power.
The billionaires are here to strip American bare of money and resources. They will create a class of “peasants” that will have no hope of upward mobility. Instead they will lurch from one low-paying job to another—perpetually in debt and constantly told it’s their fault. Dystopia is here.
This is also true of most of congress. They are millionaires who can’t understand living paycheck to paycheck or being unable to buy a house. It’s going to get worse under orange Mussolini
The Unified Reichsfuehrer's first act in 2017 was taking on income taxes and other taxes that drove billionaires beyond the edge. It will be same for the coming regime
MAGA Mike Johnson already told Trump, "Look, I de-fanged the IRS for you before you even take power!!"
It’s why GOP opposed hiring more IRS agents. Biden did and it brought a billion into the treasury, by chasing rich people. The Inflation Reduction Act did that.
In the disastrous 1st term with its RECORD $8+ trillion addition to the national debt, Trump didn't care if any revenue at least stanched some of the hemorrhaging in the budget
His plan to control debt is on the backs of poor & middle class this time: the entitlements & programs for 99%
YES!! Trump wants to impose across-the-board tariffs on imported goods from both allies and adversaries (US consumers will pay for this), while cutting govt social programs and cutting taxes for the rich! The wealthy get richer and everyone else suffers!
They want Americans working minimum wage as burger flippers and cheap Indians in all other positions.
So they cut education and import.
Maybe MAGA should talk a little bit about "Globalism"?
Musk wants slaves: undereducated whites who will vote for his tax cuts. He also wants Indian H1B slaves who will work for pennies for fear of losing their visas.
The problem with outsourcing labor to other countries will continue. Companies right now are hiring people directly in other countries as contractors working outside the U.S. Instead of using H1-B visas, they are creating employment hubs in other countries.
My daughter worked at a McD in Gillette,WY. The owner had oriental workers that he paid min.wage with put them up in an apartment bunks charged them rent& utilities, spoke little English. She said it was so sad. Gillette was a 💩 town W/Nothing to do.
The oligarchs are going to junk the US Constitution, rewrite it so people earning 1mil plus pay zero taxes. With the highest taxes levied on people earning 30k to 75k
Since my job was one of about 50, mostly held by experienced older workers, that my company sent to India in 2023, I can confirm that corporations would rather pay lower wages for poorer quality work than keep skilled workers that they have to pay a living wage to. I also trained my replacement.
The only corollary I would add is that Trump is not a reliable ally to anyone. If his personal interests diverge from the other billionaires, he will go his own way again. He's erratic.

Only winners are the billionaires.
I agree we are in a class war, but it is fueled by culture issues.
However 3rd world Engineers & Scientists are a lot cheaper than 1st & 2nd world.
This is what Musk etc want.
Same as brexit.
Resist!

As if the 2017 GOP tax scam wasn't enough?
I have lived my life SEEING how I worked over my lifetime always getting peanuts for wages!!
NOW, in retirement, my income is based on the meager income I got THEN.
In 2025, they want to TAKE THAT FROM ME !!!!!! 😡😡🤬🤬
They are PEOPLE struggling to survive in a world of Billionaires who have rigged it all against ANYONE who is NOT "RICH" !!!
It's all about money and power.

Both sides better pop their heads up and have a look around…
So they cut education and import.
