BF2S Forums Presidential Election 2016

I think the "Normalize Indian Hate" thing is what angered Musk. Musk has 3 sons with an Indian woman, Shivon Zillis.

Steven Bannon actually gave an interview with the New York Times. He is feuding with the Silicon Valley MAGA people. He called the tech companies an apartheid state where Indians and Chinese are brought in to work while America's black and brown people have been shut out.

And most important, the capitalists are always trying to drive down wages. Now they do it two ways. They either allow illegal immigration at the border, which drives down wages of lower-skilled workers, particularly African American and Hispanic. But they also scammed the system with a whole set of visa programs, and they call it kind of fancy names — the H-1B visas.

All they’re trying to do is bring in indentured servants into the country at a third less or 50 percent less and are very compliant about what they have to do, to make sure they don’t have to pay American graduates. And this is why Silicon Valley is an apartheid state. It’s the reason you have no Hispanics or Blacks.

There’s no shot to get into Silicon Valley. It’s not because Americans are dumber. It’s not because Americans are lazy. It’s because American citizens are — you have a globalist system.

And the capitalists, because remember we’re in a capitalist system, are always looking to drive labor costs down. And the Democratic Party could have done this, but Bernie Sanders and all the guys who supported labor, all became open borders on immigration, and they made it some sort of racial, xenophobic thing.

And I kept telling people: Hey, I don’t give two [expletive] if you call me a racist. I don’t give two [expletive] if you call me a xenophobe or anything like that. I’m standing up for the American citizen. I come from a working-class family. And I can tell you that when they fully understand the economics, and they look around at what’s happening, African Americans and Hispanic families are going to vote for us.

Who knows how much of this is salami slicing from him but he isn't wrong about South and East Asians filling out Silicon Valley. And the white guy that was fired for his racist Twitter post definitely felt the pressure in tech building up.

All of that said, I welcome Indians and Chinese workers into the struggle for whatever. Ever since college I felt that those upper middle class immigrant communities felt they were above and apart from the rest of us. The Arabs and Filipinos oddly enough have always been cool out here. I think the lower class origins of those communities make them much more realist about all of this.

The reddit comment wars over protests not using American flags is fun

LMAO +1

so let me get this straight, ‘DOGE’ hasn’t actually found any fraud or corruption or malfeasance. they’ve singled out USAID for abuse and now … the outfit responsible for consumer protection? not exactly a resounding victory for the claims of these tech lords making ‘more efficient’ government, is it?

meanwhile the ‘geniuses’ they’ve entrusted to deal with billions of dollars of payroll and funding are all rotten apples with racist pasts. and we have the sad and sorry spectacle of the VICE PRESIDENT defending a 25 year old who publicly posted a few months ago about promoting indian hate (the VP with an indian wife and half-indian kids, that is). not only are they trying to launder open racism in the name of ‘anti-woke’, they’re doing it so shamelessly that they’ll throw their own kids under the bus.

In those situations I'm tempted to grab the wheel and swerve into oncoming traffic.

Trump's genius plan just got real.
My company sells its most profitable - I mean 50+% profit - products to NGOs.
All the NGOs have had their USAID funding stopped so their budgets are dramatically curtailed and all orders are suspended.
Its not the whole business by any stretch, and I could do with a break, still not good.
Is it fair to be gouging NGOs doing humanitarian work? Not my decision.

We have to have faith in the plan.

What I said, faith

i'm sure if enough people pressed they could get this dropped. school can feel enough like a prison without also demanding free labor like one, wtf.

imagine having to do your 20 hours of free work just to graduate, while also keeping up with homework, housework, caring for your siblings, and working at your underpaying job on the side (because everyone knows that all teens really need is just a bit of spending money). all the while boomers, and boomer-brains, who haven't actively lifted a finger to help their community out for decades, lord it over you and complain about how lazy your generation is and how glad your parents will be when they can kick you out (deserved!). "back in my day," i hope at least your sour maga person spends all her free time doing charity work or something, but that's not as fun as whining about defenseless teenagers, is it.

in some areas you can NOT "clean up the trash" without hazmat training and assc'd ppe/tools. there's human waste mixed in those roadside piles.

I am genuinely struggling to think of what to do with the kids. I asked ChatGPT if ideas and they said "write letters to veterans" and shit like that as one option. So I bought with my own money a stack of thank you cards from Amazon. I am going to have the kids write Thank you notes to their case workers and guidance counselors. I also got obnoxious large thank you cards to give to my director, principal, and supervisor, all three helped me get my internship. So I am going to have the kids sign the cards with a thank you message, have them take a picture with it and give it to the three guys who helped me out to kiss their asses.

The other thing I was thinking of getting the kids to record videos where they explain my class routines and stuff. "Hi. My name is Sarah. I am part of the class of 2026. I am going to show you how to submit Mr. Macbeth's slideshow assignments today."


The third idea I have is to get them to help me rearrange, decorate, and clean the room. For some reason I have a feeling the sour assistant would most approve of this manual labor bullshit.
...

The sour one has been in the district for decades. She is a townie that is upset the city she grew up in is now full of Arabs and Hispanics. She is also upset she makes $25,000 a year while ladies she went to highschool with are making $120,000 in the same building. She used to be an assistant to a girl she went to highschool with. That shit has to wear on you.

The cool MAGA lady that I went out for drinks with before that I am helping her son has been there for a decade and half. The cool MAGA is genuinely poor while the other one has a blue collar longshoreman husband who can support her.

The cool poor MAGA assistant doesn't seem too invested in the MAGA stuff beyond some memes. She is actually pretty fun to hangout with. I helped her out with some other stuff. I would be unsurprised if she tones down the MAGA stuff with me because she is a subordinate to me (stick) and I help her out (carrot). Genuinely friendly with this one.

Trump is being held hostage by Elon Musk. We must rescue Trump.

anyone remember when stuff like a push to rename Greenland to Red, White & Blueland or banning reporters from the white house for refusing the Gulf of Mexico rename to Gulf of America would have been considered one of the wilder fever dreams of The Onion? and this is just the surface noise.

Trump's Xeets read like onion articles, the onion is going to have to raise its game.

The world is ending, but the memes are getting better.

doge new website hacked within days of launch.
