MAGA about to have a bunch of immigrants taking their jobs

IT workers aren't "Tech Bros". Real Tech Bros are usually people with zero knowledge trying to profit from IT workers. They use them to build their scams.

Just to add to your point, statistically tech workers are disproportionately democrat voters. I'm not sure about higher ups, but it would surprise me if they were disproportionately pro-trump
- Not on H1B they not.
  (as they can't even vote)
- I wouldn't be surprised if they flipped when the money started rolling in. My guess is:
  Democrat -> "Independent" Libertarian voting Republican -> "Fiscally conservative" Republican
- Is this helping you lead a meaningful life?
- Wow reading through your comments is a wild ride 😆
  Though you're gonna have to make it a little less obvious if you want people to keep buying your facade. Have a good new year friend, cheers!
- Okay boomer
- yes i agree that the problem with people believing anything they see is that they might not have proper guidance. it’s okay to believe everything you see, so long as you only see the right things. this is why it’s okay to believe anything you hear from donald trump, but not okay to believe anything you see on the internet.

I wonder when the magards will realize they've been played for the fools they are. It would be funny - and a little bit reassuring - if they massively turned against their racehorse before Jan 20...

The fact that the pendulum could swing so far so fast is an indication of how fucking long and exhausting the next 4 years will be. I'm too old for this shit.
- Actually it's an indication of how desperate Americans are, or how stupid they are. Because nobody with good prospects in life and a working brain votes for Trump.
  Probably a combination of both...

H1-B visa holders are essentially indentured servants. If they lose their job, they get deported and then it's back to living 12 to a room in Bangalore.

I'm honestly surprised that Elon isn't just pushing that angle as a positive.

For real, he could live cam their miserable existence and say, "See how these minorities suffer for American profits!"
Then the fireworks go off and an eagle screams. The audience cheers!
Not just H1-B, nearly all issued work visas are like that.
Tying a visa to an employer is not indentured servitude.
- You call it whatever you want to call it. "You work at this specific company or we kick you out of the country" is as exploitive and ultra-capitalistic as you can get.
- No, but it does allow abuse. I've worked at places where the h1-b wages were lower than market rate cause they can't really leave (they can, but finding another sponsor isn't easy or without risks).

“Tech slaves apply here”

I shouldn't be a hole in the concrete hacked away with a pickaxe ... it's a neatly installed steel door with electronic access

And they put an explosive collar on you when you go through with your H1-B visa.

This cartoon is incomplete. There should be an indication that Elon FIRED the qualified Americans first. The GOP is such a joke. Every dumbass who voted for Trump deserves to lose their job and get replaced by cheap, foreign labor.

MAGA crowd are mostly below H1B standards.

Nah Trump is down there with a second hole saying "gardeners and maids apply here", while the wall is "guarded" by a redneck with a MAGA hat.

Trumpty Dumpty.

In reality, trump can't do 13 different things associated with this image.

the other side is that H1-B visa holders are more vulnerable to the whims of bosses. they will come here and be treated worse because of the threat of losing their work visa and being sent home unless they find another business owner willing to sponsor the legal responsibilities of dealing with H1-B visas.

If it wasn’t likely to bite me so hard in the ass (middle-aged, senior high paid US tech worker), I would be loving the schadenfreude. Instead, some days I can feel the target forming on my back.

Paid less, can't shop around for jobs as easily, they love immigrants when they take good paying jobs and turn them into poor paying jobs. Trump wants immigrants. He wants immigrants to take your good paying jobs. He wants you to do the crappy poor person jobs. This is not rocket surgery.

The only thing that still makes sense is to find entertainment in dismantling federal institutions by electing the most dumb outrageous corrupt criminal available. Religion and racism are also a part of the picture but most people don’t take that so seriously.
