@EricLDaugh Larger companies will just hire in overseas offices. Deprioritize/layoff local workforce. Cheaper cost in LATAM/Canada/Asia. This just gave the larger companies even more excuse to lay off US workforce

🚨 BREAKING: By stroke of pen, President Trump raises the H-1B Visa fee from $1,000 to *$100,000,* and directs the Secretary of Labor to revise the wage rules to make it much harder for companies to hire foreigners in replacement of American workers.
Massive win.

@UploadVR Perfect example of a company prioritizing stock price over delivering a proper product that ppl can use/benefit from. They had a great starter product with the RayBan glasses before. All they had to do was - make it lighter, easier to wear all day! Instead we get 1 40% heavier

@NorthmanTrader Just a setup so their cronies can make some money again. They’ll reverse the narrative after a few weeks.

@unusual_whales Its a “government” - the purpose of a government is to look after its people - not for profit. The purpose of a “business” is to make money. What on earth are they peddling?

Are you buying the $TSLA dip?
Shay Boloor@StockSavvyShay
$TSLA is in a transitional phase -- balancing near-term auto challenges with the long-term potential of autonomy. With unsupervised FSD launching in Texas & a robotaxi network on the horizon -- it's positioning beyond automaking. Almost at my accumulation zone 🧐

Wrong.Truman committee was run by the senate. Clinton’s NPR had to also go through senate with their proposals. Unlike the current DOGE which is operating as an autocracy while creating havoc disregarding due process & ignoring the checks and balances of the gov. Its autocracy.
Chamath Palihapitiya@chamath
DOGE has existed twice before Most recently was under President Clinton’s “National Partnership for Reinventing Government” and most famously in 1941 under Then-Senator Truman’s “Truman Committee”. Interesting that historically BOTH previous efforts at DOGE were Democratic led. Also important to know that with very little money, specifically less than $7M over 7 years, the Truman Committee saved the USA $10-15B. These are 1941 dollars. Adjusted for inflation, the Truman Committee saved USA almost $250B of today’s dollars.

@EnszTodd @EndTribalism Curious: where did you pull out the net profit margin for Moderna?
English
@EndTribalism For the record, here are the net profits and margins for the largest vaccine manufacturers:
Pfizer: 2021 Vaccine Revenue $36B, Net Profit Margin ~25%
BioNTech: 2021 Revenue €16-17B, Net Profit Margin 77%
Moderna: 2021 Revenue $11.2B, Net Profit Margin 70%
English
You can’t make this up.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren is throwing a tantrum over RFK Jr. passing the initial Senate Finance Committee vote, arguing that allowing vaccine manufacturers to be sued is dangerous.
“Vaccine manufacturers often operate on very slim profit margins.
If they get sued repeatedly and successfully, they simply move out of the vaccine space.
We've already seen this happen with vaccines in the past.”
To be clear, she’s arguing that Big Pharma should be shielded from lawsuits—even when their vaccines cause harm.
Some of these people are truly insane.

@SenSanders Other tech giants are hiring in overseas offices while laying off ppl here. H1b is just the tip of the iceberg.
English
If there is truly a major shortage of skilled tech workers in this country, why did Tesla lay-off over 7,500 American workers last year — including many software developers and engineers at its factory in Austin, Texas — while applying to hire thousands of H-1B guest workers?
