Oh, it’s Wednesday -time for him to change his mind again!
Make them cost the same as the average price of US tech talent? No problemo! Otherwise it’s effectively offshoring jobs and domestic spending. It’s simply punishing American workers who got stuck with a higher cost of living than people in third world countries: higher housing, higher food, higher healthcare (and you can take a bow on the food and healthcare costs, Mr.Affordability!)
The recent $100K charge for H1Bs has no labor statistics to back it up, to make the case it levels the worker cost based on an average. Typical: “Where did you come up with the $100K number, Howard [Lutnick]?” A: “Oh, I just stuck my thumb up my ass and it sounded good!” The same whack calculation technique as used for their across-the-board willy-nilly tariffs.
But at this point, his circle of grifters don’t care one jot. They can smell the house coming down. Trump’s just doing the bidding of the latest Billionaire Boys who are whispering in his ear.
Time for you to get out there with your working class pom-poms, Steve Bannon! “Give me a W…Give me an O…Give me an R…Give me a K…Give me an E…Give me an R…Give me an S…WHAT DOES IT SPELL?!“
“TRUMP GRIFTERS!” -right Steve?? Ha!!
I’ve got a pep rally call for you, Steve:
“STRIKE! STRIKE! STRIKE!
IMPEACH! IMPEACH! IMPEACH!”
Just thinking out loud: now would be a great time for a national strike; wouldn’t it? (link…)
