    So catching up on this thread... I actually agree with Elon and Vivek in the sense that we should be offering work visas to the best and brightest. Then again I'm biased because I came to the US on a F-1 (student visa), was recruited and got a H-1B > green card > citizen, yada yada. Was I the best and brightest best in my class? Probably not, but definitely in the top 10%. Looking back, I got lucky because in the mid 90s, everyone was going for an EE, CS or MIS degree and there was a death of civil engineers. 

    From several economic podcasts, there are a lot of fucking brilliant foreign students doing PhD level research in the US that are looking to move to Europe because they don't think they'll get a H-1B visa. Retain the best to keep the US at the forefront of scientific research. Let the MAGA prom queens serve you wings at Hooters.

     

     

    i mean, no shit. we shouldn't be educating people and then telling them to leave.

    When $ became speech, then to get your voice heard you need $.

    The idea that civic organizations were full of salt of the earth working class people is a little of a revisionist history. These groups were made up with folks who could afford to be in them…… especially with their time. 

    The naacp is somewhat of an outlier IMO as these folks were fighting an almost existential battle. That crossed economic lines.

    There’s no real way to put the genie back in the bottle. 
    Americans are struggling to maintain their lifestyles. 
    Well off people still feel like they’re underwater bc of healthcare and college costs. Poor folks are straight f’d. Lower class and working poor can’t catch a brake. 
    Everyone is in debt on their house or credit card or student loans or that car or the payday lender who has your car title.

    Parenting demands 100% of your focus when you’re not at work 45-50 hrs / week and when not commuting which is another 5-10 hrs away.

    So there it is folks.

    Outside of a breaking point we are left in the cold. One side doubles down on racism and xenophobia to distract from their policies the just go to enrich them further.

    And the democrats focus on the rules and play by a script that has been out of date since Obama and requires someone of his generational skill much like bill clinton to win.

    Any normal person or Biden character needs damn near a nuclear disaster (and Obama kind of needed that too as well as Clinton and the recession) to win bc the party or normalcy is full of ‘woke pussies’ who make the others feel bad about hating their fellow man and waiting on their Christian bank-shot of an eternity of bliss.

    I have to admit, I google searched the Opzelura chick.

    Turns out, she's a General Hospital alumn.

    She's also a bit of a prude. Doesn't really have very many sexy photos out there.
    Mentioned on her Instagram that her Boss told her to put some "racier" pics out.
