Progressives Say GOP’s H-1B Visa Feud Distracts From Real Problem: ‘Billionaire Robber Barons’

1. Oh, everyone on all sides of the spectrum are fully aware. It’s just our government is just openly scared of them. So Republicans bend the knee and democrats empower more of a dying generation that have no feasible understanding of how the modern world operates.

   Musk will get his cheap labor force because democracy has genuinely lost to an oligarchy in the states. A good number will comment “always has been.” No. It hasn’t. This is unhinged levels of corruption. Elmo can just tweet the government into a shutdown and a 80yr old dementia patient rubber stamps whatever he declares.

   You and I don’t have representation anymore. We have bosses.

2. They are both problems. The H-1B is an indentured servitude visa and it would still be a problem if there were no billionaire robber barons. It has been a problem for years and this article is a political attempt at convincing people it’s not a problem.

3. I’d argue the opposite is true because it exposes the lies and hypocrisy of people like Musk. Imagine being a MAGA voter and seeing one of the most prominent Trump allies saying “well actually we need some immigration because Americans are too dumb and their wage demands are too high.”

   It’s not a distraction, it’s a wake-up call.

4. These are the jobs that are being taken from Americans right here! Instead of Elmo hiring Americans, he outsources his labor and gives the job to an H-1B visa where he can grossly underpay. He is the most hypocritical narcissistic scumbag ever! Sorry not sorry, we want those jobs back!

5. The thing is, there is massive unemployment and layoffs in Tech right now with many not being able to find work. So this isn’t about a shortage of workers. its about cheap exploitable labor.

6. Billionaire robber barons just like the ones who brought on the Great Depression in the gilded age when extreme wealth was flaunted. History does, indeed, repeat itself if you don’t learn from it. Obviously, we did not.

7. it’s pretty funny to watch though. some folks slowly realizing that maybe elon isn’t actually as much of a free speech absolutist as they were led to believe.

8. Dig just a little deeper and you will find that, once sgain, it’s ONLY about rich vs poor.

   – Men v women is promoted to distract from exploitation from the wealthy.
   – Same with feminist v men.
   – Same with conservative v liberal.
   – Same with white v black.
   – Same with anti-immigrants.
   – Same with MAGA
   – Same with Christian v homosexual
   – Same with anti-trans

   Don’t make your peer into your enemy because rich dicks like Elon says “dance, puppet, dance”.
