Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Fascists: Let's destroy the part of the government that educates our people.
Also fascists: We're just smol bean megacorps that are FORCED to hire people from out of the country to find anyone competent! Why aren't native born USians educated?!? Must be because we react to sitcoms wrong.
This country is trying so hard to burn itself down
Fucking Vivek, lol. Another Harvard undergrad, Yale law graduate finance bro complaining about there not being enough engineers in the US.
He's right up there with all the other suit wearing, ivy league chuds and podcast bros that have been telling everyone (guys, specifically) that college is a woke DEI scam and to go to trade school instead while they sit in air conditioned offices.
Kind of funny that the same people who constantly glaze white people want to muscle them out of every single job except back-breaking trades: literally choosing their job for them.
Maybe I'm naive... I don't think their ideology is developed enough, but there's almost a kind of sense to it.
Tech oligarchs want cheap, compliant labor.
Push the ostensibly-protected native population out of the education pipeline for those jobs and into trades.
Complain there aren't enough graduates to meet that demand in the country.
Increase the ability to import workers with tenuous legal status in the country.
Also, as a bonus, end birthright citizenship to allow for maximum coercion in the event the imported worker has a child while in the country.
It all makes sense, kinda.
