IT workers aren't "Tech Bros". Real Tech Bros are usually people with zero knowledge trying to profit from IT workers. They use them to build their scams.
Just to add to your point, statistically tech workers are disproportionately democrat voters. I'm not sure about higher ups, but it would surprise me if they were disproportionately pro-trump
H1-B visa holders are essentially indentured servants. If they lose their job, they get deported and then it's back to living 12 to a room in Bangalore.
I'm honestly surprised that Elon isn't just pushing that angle as a positive.
Not just H1-B, nearly all issued work visas are like that.
For real, he could live cam their miserable existence and say, "See how these minorities suffer for American profits!"
Then the fireworks go off and an eagle screams. The audience cheers!
Tying a visa to an employer is not indentured servitude.
What you're saying is possibly true in theory, but in fact all we have to do is look around everywhere in the world that has this type of visa to find abuses. The abuses are guaranteed, and the rate of abuse varies based on how active the government is at punishing bad employers.
“Tech slaves apply here”
I wonder when the magards will realize they've been played for the fools they are. It would be funny - and a little bit reassuring - if they massively turned against their racehorse before Jan 20...
The fact that the pendulum could swing so far so fast is an indication of how fucking long and exhausting the next 4 years will be. I'm too old for this shit.
...if they massively turned against their racehorse before Jan 20...
that will never happen. literally the only way for these walking tumors to stop is for them to die. that's why they call them diehards.
our only hope is bird-flu wipes them entirely out when the orange lump claims the cure is injecting drain-o in their rectums.
I shouldn't be a hole in the concrete hacked away with a pickaxe ... it's a neatly installed steel door with electronic access
And they put an explosive collar on you when you go through with your H1-B visa.
MAGA crowd are mostly below H1B standards.
This cartoon is incomplete. There should be an indication that Elon FIRED the qualified Americans first. The GOP is such a joke. Every dumbass who voted for Trump deserves to lose their job and get replaced by cheap, foreign labor.
In reality, trump can't do 13 different things associated with this image.
Trumpty Dumpty.
Nah Trump is down there with a second hole saying "gardeners and maids apply here", while the wall is "guarded" by a redneck with a MAGA hat.
the other side is that H1-B visa holders are more vulnerable to the whims of bosses. they will come here and be treated worse because of the threat of losing their work visa and being sent home unless they find another business owner willing to sponsor the legal responsibilities of dealing with H1-B visas.
If it wasn’t likely to bite me so hard in the ass (middle-aged, senior high paid US tech worker), I would be loving the schadenfreude. Instead, some days I can feel the target forming on my back.
I decided to career change and get a bachelor's in CS in my mid thirties.. finishing in may. Unsure if I'll even get the privelege of a target
Paid less, can't shop around for jobs as easily, they love immigrants when they take good paying jobs and turn them into poor paying jobs. Trump wants immigrants. He wants immigrants to take your good paying jobs. He wants you to do the crappy poor person jobs. This is not rocket surgery.
The only thing that still makes sense is to find entertainment in dismantling federal institutions by electing the most dumb outrageous corrupt criminal available. Religion and racism are also a part of the picture but most people don’t take that so seriously.
