Not only is the right flipping out at Elon Musk for saying we need to have more legal immigration, but they are now flipping out over this tweet from Vivek. Things are unraveling fast.

But, the bit he's missing is, a culture that promotes knowledge and truth over popularity is going to be better educated, and the better educated generally think and vote against his ideas!
But I thought Trump loved the poorly educated. Guess the way to "Make America Great Again" is to bring in immigrants to do the jobs Americans are apparently too stupid to do. They work harder for lower pay and can be threatened with deportation if they don't comply.
But I believe he's wrong. I always thought they hire them because they think they can pay them less. Also because of their visa requirements, they are more willing to put up with worse work environments.
They work by contract through companies in India that hire out contractors. Those companies charge 1/2 of what an American would get. My hubby works in IT and he lost a job to H1B visa contractors. He had to train them once hired and then the company dumped my hubby. Happens a lot. 😡
I'm so sorry this happened to you guys. It's always dicey working in high tech. My husband was an ee, and for a while he'd be laid off every 3 to 5 years. But none of them was because he was replaced by H1B's. Usually because companies got bought out.
Thank you. My hubby’s entire department was replaced by H1B visa contractors. The company ended up only keeping them 1 year because they screwed things up so badly it cost them more money to fix than it would have if they kept my hubby and his team.
Oh look billionaires blaming more culture bullshit and scapegoating foreigners when we all know the real issue comes down to paying workers a fair wage.
And if they dismantle public education it will only get worse. Besides I don’t buy Vivek’s premise. There are many examples of well known Americans, athletes or entertainers, that are well educated. Mayam Bialik has a PhD in Neuroscience or Kris Kristofferson was a Rhodes Scholar.
Vivek is straight up wrong, it is all about $$. not about culture. I come out of the generation he is highlighting. Yes, the Football Player and Prom Queen, and those TV characters got "the attention". but then us nerds and geeks 30 years later, are who have succeeded.
That high level look at the culture, has been that way for 70-80 years... nothing has really changed there. But the other 97% who are not the super athlete or socialite... we are in a better place today then ever before. For that 3%, that trophy as a kid is their life highlight
I was just reading a blog post about the racism in the rural area where I went to high school. A lot of those people never leave their homes, so they are rarely exposed to anything outside their bubble. On the rare occasion where I see anyone from my school days, I barely remember anything about it.
So is there something wrong with my brain that I can't remember, or did I just have different priorities, and it wasn't as important to me other than being just a stepping stone to other things?
And that is scary, and sad at the same time. It is the one thing I have really liked about Social Media and FB, that I can see how things have faired out for a lot of the people that looked down on me and people like me... I am glad my Children are growing in a time, where it is less important.
Ramaswamy is right and the right is not happy with this guy who does not look like a Nazi should look like. (Which does not change the fact that his ideas are pretty Nazi-like.)
Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of incorrigibles . They all think they are getting what "they want" They are a diverse group *gasp* like the entire world. They'll cannibalize each other weaking the USA in the process
They got them all worked up about immigrants as being evil that if they are on a visa and taking American jobs they don’t like that either. I don’t think it plays well to say Americans believe in mediocrity. We work longer hours with less vacation than most nations.
Interesting how the acquisition of a few - or a few hundred - billion dollars in the American economy makes these two guys experts in 'what this country needs,' or 'what this country needs... What it NEEDS is for you two to STFU and go away.
What Vivek doesn’t realize is that the whole destruction of education in the Red States is intentional. Politicians there know the dumber the stupider the constituents are the easier to con and manipulate. Like how the hell do you believe that the earth is flat and Trump is sent by god. Seriously?
And yet Trump is bringing in a wrestling sexual assault accomplice to destroy education in this country and continue in her corrupt and Trump’s corrupt ways without recourse

These people are genuinely morons.
(As if there are going to be any more elections anyway)
and of course, maga will hate him. because maga hates responsibility and working hard.
Oligarchs! Tear off a limb or rip out an organ quickly! They’re eating themselves as we speak!
Cool. Do they come with dipping sauce or drinks?
Orange juice — from a can.
That’s exactly why they voted for these oligarchs.
In the same vein:
Looking forward to when it dawns on MAGA that Crypto is the opposite of America First
Who’d have guessed?
