The Trump administration announced Friday that H-1B visas will now come with a $100,000 annual fee, but the White House says it will only apply to new visa applicants.

What'll happen is the entire offices get moved overseas instead.

With the Department of Education getting cut more and more, funds cut to higher education when we should be making it free for everyone...

The few jobs Americans will be qualified for in the future, primarily services like:

  • Janitorial
  • Plumbing (TVC)
  • Receptionist (TVC)
  • In house Barista

Those will disappear as well. Only jobs left for red meat 'Mericans will be picking fields on farms, you know, the ones ICE has been making available.

So, don't worry! Dear Leader is making the Merican jobs available for ya'll while making sure not to over educate anybody and doing more to ensure those woke office intellectual jobs don't come to our golden shores.

Pretty much all of it. And my beliefs are firm, so…

Pretty much all of it. And my beliefs are firm, so…

So

  • doge cutting department of education is fine.
  • Going a half million in debt for a degree that gets you a 60k starting salary nursing job is normal.

Got it.

Are you a real life ventriloquist, or do you just perform online?

[–] Dionysus@leminal.space 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Oh, I'm just exploring the depths of your cuntbaggery. It's quite interesting, I'd love to hear the rationale behind these beliefs but I fear it's as shallow as they are themselves.

[–] apenstaartje@lemmy.cafe -3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You’re making up things because you want me to be someone I’m not. You’ve lost all track of what the topic is. Doge? Where did that come in?

So the two options are ventriloquism or mental illness. Which one is it?

[–] Dionysus@leminal.space 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Deflection is a thin facade my simple friend.

Rational why you think it's good to cut education and put people into decades of debt to get a shot at a half decent job, that's the topic.

Yet you continue to dance like you're a Trump appointee being asked about Epstein.

I’ve never made any comments on those topics. You’ve fabricated this conversation. Anyone can see this based on the thread. At this point I think it’s pretty obvious that option number two is the problem. Have a wonderful day
