@David_J_Bier Oh no Congress should stop Trump for preventing geometric growth of H1B workers replacing US workers.

Few Americans paid attention to this aspect of Trump's agenda, but it was predictable (and predicted by me) that this would happen. Trump is arguably the most anti-legal immigration president ever. Congress should stop him before the damage is permanent. cato.org/blog/trump-has…

Trump has cut legal immigration more than illegal immigration, as I predicted. While illegal entries have fallen, they continued a prior trend, falling more before he came back. Meanwhile, Trump has cut legal entries, reversing the prior upward trend.

1/ Cool story of how a TINY little thing led to a really BIG thing that changed the world–– ––and directly led to you being here right now. You have seen this a million times. The "87" What most don't know? It's why the Nazis lost WWII.

@WhyMultifamily @BreannaMorello Shouldn’t you be on bluesky?

@BreannaMorello Thanks for showing Savannah is the instigator of all of this

Savanah Hernandez better sue this family for every last dollar they have.

the annual social cost of cancer and auto accidents are very roughly equivalent imagine a new cancer drug came out that reduced mortality by 90% across *every* cancer And the AMA aggressively lobbied against it because of its potential suppressive impact on hospital visits and surgeries... That is the unions wrt to autonomous robotaxis right now.

@ByERussell Would they keep both IAH and DFW? A DL hub at ORD is probably not a good idea for them.

I’m trying to think of all the divestitures a United-American deal would require. Certainly all of AA’s ORD hub, and probably slots and gates in DC, London, New York and LA. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@The_Aftershock_ It’s too bad they weren’t electrocuted while banging up the equipment. They could have died for Palestine!

BREAKING: Police violently arrest three action takers from 'People Against Genocide', after they raided and damaged equipment inside Keysight Technologies in Hampshire. The firm supplies key parts for Israeli weapons producer Elbit Systems and the US military.

@__nmca__ A full scale effort to get fentanyl use to zero will put some marginalized immigrants out of a job. What will you do with them?

A full-scale US Waymo rollout would cost ~700 full-time jobs in the funeral care industry (by saving around 35 thousand young American lives per year). Will no one think of (some of) the morticians!

@pmaloney33 @IshrionA @SScalpings @united You are insane if you think American is better.

@IshrionA @SScalpings PLEASE NOOOOOOOO. @united SUCKS. (Former Global Services for a decade, I know of what I speak).

@fraidycat22 @impostersyndrum @MorePerfectUS What an insane take. Maybe if driving costs go to zero they can work flipping burgers as fast food demand increases since it can be delivered everywhere for nothing.

@impostersyndrum @MorePerfectUS How much structural lowering of low end wages should we accept, with all the social instability and problems that comes with that in return for preventing a car accident? Should alphabet pay anything to offset that?

NEW: If Waymo gets its way, 2 million workers will be out of work. When Waymo gets a firm hold on a city, wages go down. Some drivers now have to work 12 hours day, 7 days a week just to get by. This isn't inevitable — but Big Tech is spending millions to make you think it is.

The video cuts to an Uber driver and literally within seconds it shows him using his phone while driving

@MorePerfectUS Is this one backed by faulty statistics like your data centers use all the water video?

@MorePerfectUS Another dumb take by @MorePerfectUS

some have asked me about my time in Renaissance Technologies. although I’m retired I can’t really say much due to NDA, but I have an unseen interview snippet from my ex-colleague Nick (hope the kids are doing well mate) that I’m comfortable to share. a lot of alpha in there

@HonorAndDaring Pretty soon the only people moving to Canada will be Indians and people in need of an organ transplant.

Unlike most Catholics on X, I am not a formally trained theologian, but I think this might be a bigger moral issue than the US enforcing immigration law.

@heynavtoor The new Black Viper list.

Your brand new Windows laptop came with dozens of apps you never asked for. - Ads in your Start menu. - Telemetry tracking every click. - Bing hijacking your search bar. - Microsoft Copilot you can't turn off. - Recall taking screenshots of everything you do. One script removes all of it. It's called Win11Debloat. Not a sketchy optimizer from a pop-up ad. A lightweight PowerShell script that strips Windows down to what it should have been from the start. Here's what it removes: → Bloatware apps — Candy Crush, TikTok, Instagram, Clipchamp, Teams, and dozens more → Telemetry — diagnostic data, activity history, app-launch tracking, targeted ads → Ads — tips, tricks, suggestions in Start menu, Settings, notifications, and lock screen → Bing — removed from Windows search, your search bar searches your computer again → Microsoft Copilot — disabled and removed → Windows Recall — the AI that screenshots everything you do, disabled → Edge clutter — ads, suggestions, and MSN news feed, disabled Everything that actually works stays. Your apps. Your files. Your settings. Nothing breaks. One command. That's it. Your laptop is clean. Works on Windows 10 AND Windows 11. Microsoft spent years adding things to Windows that nobody wanted. This script spent years removing them. 43,800+ stars on GitHub. MIT Licensed. 100% Open Source. (Link in the comments)

@JoyceCarolOates Unfortunately the scientific establishment hasn’t done much to help the situation. The current crop of scientists are more interested in things like “STEM Justice” and other non scientific things. Just look at how ridiculous Scientific American is these days.

it does seem as if a foreign adversary has taken over the US & in plain view is dismantling its programs, institutions, missions & ideals. the most acute observers among younger generations must be looking upon this with dismay, despair, outrage--their US will be tragically diminished compared to the US most of us grew up in. it's hard to believe that much of US science research is being terminated -- the country used to be so proud of its great scientists. not to mention medical research.

@davidfrum I guess cutting off rare earth supply is predictable.

Every country in Asia is thinking right now: "Well we don't love China, but unlike Trump's USA it has never cut off our energy supply. Maybe they're a more reliable and responsible partner for our future security. At least they're predictable."

@kirbyl0vesan1me @Aliathewhite Because Coachella is for hoes, so it was a Muslim hoe.

@Aliathewhite Wait I just realized music is Haram, why is a Muslim girl there

@ValforNevada The humane thing now is to deport everyone.

Really blowing a giant hole through the whole “we can’t afford it” narrative

@ImtiazMadmood Very true. This was the PIP meeting. By the time you are in a PIP, you are already fired.

The CIA and the Mossad knew, from the very first second, that the two sides were in absolute contradiction. Not 10%, not 50%. 180 degrees. So why did Trump send JD Vance right into the middle of it? Two reasons. First: when the bomb drops, no one will be able to say the U.S. didn’t try. They’ll have in hand the minutes of the meeting, the photo of the handshake that didn’t happen, the return flight with empty hands. Diplomacy as legal cover for what comes next. Second, and smarter: Vance is against war. Well-known. So when a man like him comes back from Oman and says “there’s no conversation to be had,” no one in Washington can argue anymore that “all it took was sitting down at the table.” The toughest skeptic in the cabinet has become an eyewitness to the impossibility. The U.S. didn’t go to negotiate. They went to document. The Islamic Republic flipped the table, as it always does. This time, with the camera rolling. - @AllanHerzl
