Dude spent 2 months around a bunch of conservatives and now realizes that "Oh, the American's I'm surrounding myself might be stupid, I'll need to import smart people and convince them it's a good thing"
Also, love the "Fraction of the cost" being the main selling point. Let me sell your job off for 1/3 of the price and thank me for it!
It's always been that way. Idiots just think that anyone with a billion dollars is a smart person, and not just a ruthlessly unfeeling person that would kill you for a nickel if it cost them nothing to do it and get away with it.
Well he wanted to pay himself $56 billion instead of raising workers wages :) or pay the correct amount of money for people to want to work at for you and don't disregard safety for the people in the factories. The workers are the ones doing the job. They stop everything falls apart. They have the power all they need to do is work together.
“Ohhhh, superstitious, amorphous thing in the great nothingness out there, somewhere… unto y’all the gooderest howdy! Maybe might could the dictator from day one consider someone not himself… for we are but truly stupid, emotional animals: forever reacting. Hy’men!”
Morons. On the other hand in the end it's a scratch in terms of immigrant labor. Not much different from what was already happening. They're just taking the long way around to reach the same conclusion and a basket full of other problems that come with it. The MAGA morons might be surprised to hear they're losing their jobs anyway and idk what sector Elmo is talking about.
This reminds me that episode of the Handmaid's Tale where the 2 old men discuss how to make their wives love the idea of having an inhouse concubine slave
It's also literally illegal to hire immigrants for high skilled jobs like engineers for less than you would pay to their American counterparts. The company sponsoring their visa must prove that they are paying them a commensurate rate, or that there are literally no US candidates available for the position.

It unironically is for a billionaire. He doesn't have to care about anything but increasing shareholder (his) value.
He doesn't care about society, he doesn't care about 'free speech', he doesn't care about bias, he doesn't care about you or me or anyone but himself. He would strangle each and every one of us in our sleep if it meant a 1% increase in stock value and he'd sleep like a baby.
A friend in Cupertino worked the same job at Apple for 15 years. Suddenly some guy from India appears under an H1B visa and they tell my friend to train him. As soon as he does, he gets laid off.
Mr. H1B will work for 50%. The way they got around the H1B “Americans first” provisions is they just retitled the same exact job. I told him to file a complaint anyway.
I think that’s one way we can approach the coming storm is just file complaints and litigate, litigate, litigate - even if you have to go pro se.
What are they gonna do? - Call us “woke liberals?”
If you import them, they have to live in America, though. So you're not gonna realize as much savings as you think, plus they expect to be able to remit.
The funniest part is that he said immigrants don't do as good if a job, but anyone that's worked with American contractors know that they do an absolute shit job at everything
It's not that, importing working age skilled labour is much cheaper than doing it inhouse, you have to supply healthcare, education and housing for 18-22 years before they even enter the job market, then needs training and work experience before becoming profitable.
This is what running the country like a business looks like, importing labour is a good business decision.
When all the businesses make a product for a consumer that can't afford to use it. Your business fails.
So no exporting all of America's jobs to save money isn't a good decision. Anyone that can see longterm could see that. It's a short term solution to make the CEO money
I said nothing about exporting jobs, I'm not sure where you got that idea from.
I will repeat, importing working aged skilled labour is very good for the economy and very good for business.
