TellMeWhereImWrong

Just found out someone I knew decided to self checkout yesterday. I'm sure I'll be sad later, but right now I'm angry. The second you get married, the second you have a kid, you lose that privilege. You have a child, and your life isn't yours anymore. It doesn't matter how bad it is, how bad you're hurting. It's no longer your life to do as you please. Things bad? Toughen up. Endure. It's not your life anymore. It belongs to your family you created.

Reminder that pretty much everything wrong with the US is due to the legislation passed in the 1960s. Any political theorist that isn’t addressing this book isn’t worth your time. A must read.

Look at the rate of civilizational advancement from 1st flight to moon landing and consider where we’d be now had we not subsequently reoriented society around the idea that the entire world has a right to live here, vote here & receive legal, political and financial preference.

🦔While Oracle was sending 6am termination emails to between 20,000 and 30,000 employees this week, the company had filed roughly 3,126 H-1B petitions to hire foreign workers in fiscal years 2025 and 2026, including 436 filed this year alone. H-1B petitions are required when companies seek to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations like technology. Amazon, which has cut 30,000 corporate employees since October, filed 2,675 H-1B petitions over the same period. My Take The official justification for H-1B filings is that companies need specialized skills unavailable domestically. The honest explanation in most cases is cheaper labor. H-1B workers are often paid less than their American counterparts for equivalent roles and are tied to their employer through visa sponsorship, which limits their ability to negotiate or leave. Oracle didn't lay off 18% of its workforce because those people lacked skills. It laid them off to free up $8-10 billion in cash flow to service AI infrastructure debt. Filing hundreds of foreign worker petitions in the same period is a cost structure decision, and the people who got that 6am email and then saw these filings have every right to be angry about it.

The Catholic Church when a Catholic has a terminal illness: "This is all God's plan. Life is suffering. If you accept suffering gracefully as Jesus did on the cross, perhaps you will be granted happiness in the next life. Until then, you may rent this room to die in for $5000" The Catholic Church when a Somali Muslim lives in Somalia: "There is no way God could possibly tolerate this inhuman tragedy. All members of the community must give their money to ensure that this injustice cannot go on"
