@dilanesper We have 42.5% new college graduate unemployment, AI layoffs, and the worst job market since 2008. You don’t have a clue what you’re talking about.

I like Mickey, who I have read ever since the days of the New Republic and the End of Equality. But the immigration to the tech sector is literally the most defensible immigration to the US you could possibly have. If you oppose it, it's literally "I Want Americans To Be Poor."

@RepDanGoldman In a sane country, you’d be tarred and feathered.

For over 70 years, adjusting your status to a Green Card from within the US has been the standard pathway to achieve permanent legal status.  Now Trump wants to change that solely to inflict damage on our immigrants and mixed families by forcing people to wait often years in their home country. This is a stupid as it is cruel. And it solely targets legal immigrants.  We won’t let this happen.

@StephenStorey Bro… We Americans get diarrhea if we drink the water there, but we’re going to go there for health services?

What’s stopping Americans from crossing the border and using their healthcare system?

@1VeryChillDude The gist of the convo still stands, but yes, you’re correct.

@mikerestacked Ellis not Hart

I’m going to say something controversial: the Ellis Islanders are what made America the greatest country in the world. (No EI’s, no Trump btw)

We have 42.5% new college graduate unemployment rate, AI layoffs, and the worst job market since 2008. But hey, the immigrants here want more of their people here, so f* Americans. Thats what all of you sound like. The entitlement coming from foreigners in America is insane. Y’all are GUESTS. Sit down, shut up, and act like the guests that you are.

America wins when it attracts and keeps extraordinary talent. Highly skilled immigrants have helped drive innovation in AI, medicine, engineering, science, entrepreneurship, and national competitiveness for generations. Many came legally, followed every rule, and dedicated years of their lives to contributing here. If the goal is to strengthen America, then policies should support talented legal immigrants, not trap them in limbo under the #USCISpause. More green cards for highly vetted, highly skilled contributors is good for the economy, innovation, and the future of the United States. @realDonaldTrump @SecRubio @SecMullinDHS @USCISJoe @SenGaryPeters @RandPaul #LiftTheHold

@predict_addict We have 42.5% new college graduate unemployment, AI layoffs, and the worst job market since the 2008 financial crisis. Bringing in any immigrants right now is treasonous.

@mikerestacked America has been too kind for too long to them. One can’t be an immigrant and don’t respect the host country.

It’s extremely unfair this dude was unable to finish his PhD. It is Americans’ fault.

@FrankPallone Keep tabs on all of these traitorous Congressmen commenting about this new rule. You’d be tarred and feathered in a sane country.

If you've played by the rules and lawfully waited for years just for a chance at the American dream, Trump now wants you to leave the country, risk your job, and uproot your family to get a green card. By closing more and more legal pathways to citizenship, Trump keeps betraying America's promise.

@BinaryBit01 “Shit up and watch all the immigrants come in” You’re all in for legal immigration while we have a 42.5% new college graduate unemployment rate? How does giving away our best American positions to foreigners help Americans? Dumbass.

@mikerestacked Never ever advocated for endless immigration. You guys love to make stuff up and then attack that made up stuff to feel like you won some argument. I am all in for legal immigration that helps the US, I am not retarded like you.

One of the common patterns you'll see from guys who are on visas and are happy to go back and apply is that they are in a visa category from a country which has negligible wait time compared to others. And they'll come here and say, "Because I am okay with this, you should too." This is like me saying, "Why are people afraid of layoffs? I got laid off and found a job in two weeks".

You shouldn't be able to get a mortgage or loan from a US bank while here on a TEMPORARY Visa

@BlackLabelAdvsr It’s Frisco? It’s Indians buying them dude. Obviously.

I see these neighborhoods being built in Texas and I’m trying to figure out who in their right mind would buy a mansion with zero lot lines. Like, you could do a handshake through your kitchen window. Insane! Please make it make sense.

@beffjezos Abuse of the system from corporations that want cheap slave labor instead of paying Americans a living wage. Duh.

Completely open borders are not good. Completely closed borders are not good. How did we end up with these as the only options?

@MetamateDaz You think these companies have billions of dollars of cash on hand to let go of? Valuations != spending power.

I genuinely don't understand people like Bezos and Musk. If I had billions of dollars, I would just start fixing everything. Homeless veterans sleeping on the streets? Not on my watch. Hungry children going to bed with empty stomachs? Hell no. They could be making life better but instead choose to build spaceships and data centers to pump stocks and destroy the planet

@BinaryBit01 lol sounds like cope to me. Loser. Imagine thinking you’re an American and advocating for endless immigration. Paper American. We’re going to fix that too. Enjoy it while it lasts. Look at your name ffs… iM aN aMeRiCaN

@mikerestacked The good thing about democracy is we can vote to have rules change and when they do in 2028 you better shut up and watch all the immigrants coming in.

In this clip, Joe Rogan literally gets the chills when Andreessen explains the 10x-50x software development productivity boost AI gives. Rogan is freaked out because he realizes that this effect isn’t going to stop at software. All human jobs are going to get affected. The second order effect that Andreessen here alludes to is what’s really interesting. That huge productivity boost means the cost of all jobs quickly goes towards 0 and that causes demand to shoot up. Classic economics: if there’s elasticity in the product/service demand, make something 10x cheaper and you’ll have some huge increase in demand, could even be 100x. In this clip, Andreessen points out that software companies aren’t laying off people, they just now do 10x the output since the demand is so high for products/services that cheaper computer programming enables. I personally have seen it myself. I’ve vibe coded three apps, all three in production, that I would never have done before because the time cost was too high. Now the small business that wanted to be able to bid on all jobs can actually do that with the right automation, which is now affordable. Just as the personal computer pushed computing power from the realm of big business to mom and pop companies, AI is now completing that step and pushing custom software from mid sized companies with IT budgets down to those same mom and pop companies. The age of abundance is coming.

Andressen if full of himself. I lead teams of highly capable engineers and in practice we are seeing about a 30% increase in efficiency. We need to stop listening to investors and CEOs who've invested millions in these products. They don't know what they're talking about and just want to pump their bags.

@talldarknhansum Loved it

@Cweitz99 Are you serious? There's plenty of embellishment, sure, but this play?

The NHL has an embellishment problem.

@Christo83982794 @GinoHard_ @PKSubban1 🤣

@GinoHard_ @PKSubban1 would say it was a legal play

After a review for a major, Alexandre Texier gets a 2-minute slashing penalty for this spear on K'Andre Miller 😳😬

@GinoHard_ Clearly should've been a 5 minute major
