Was the H1-B visa issue a purposeful narrative deployment?
Timeline:
Biden changes H1-B visa rules. He stated that the purpose was to hamstring Trump from making changes to the system when he becomes president.
That’s key.
Vivek makes a comment on the degrading of American culture and education. Elon gets involved.
All hell breaks loose within the MAGA movement.
The entire country is SUDDENLY focused on the H1-B visa PROBLEM.
The PROBLEM moves from the MAGA media into the MSM.
Even 60 minutes does a show on American tech workers who lost their jobs and were forced to train their foreign replacements that were making far less money.
That sure seems to me like “setting the hook.”
Now that this big PROBLEM has gone mainstream, it’s not just MAGA that is outraged.
The entire country is becoming outraged.
Meanwhile, Trump has been completely silent.
Just a coincidence?
Trump hasn’t defended his two picks to be main players in the exposure and removal of government waste, as they are being shredded by some members of MAGA.
Why?
Was this a purposeful narrative deployment?
Who was being constantly attacked by the media and democrats before this issue came up?
The media was attacking Elon before this happened. They were calling him the president and Trump his “lapdog.”
Now, several members of the MAGA movement are implying that they agree with that and that Trump doesn’t know that he’s being used by Elon and his tech bros.
Really?
Maybe this is all purposeful.
Maybe this is yet another trap to set a perfect CONTRAST between Trump and Biden on this H1-B visa PROBLEM.
Maybe Trump wants the American people to be “outraged” about this PROBLEM, so that he can change it with their support.
Maybe this creates the perfect opportunity for Trump to step forward and make his plans known to transform or eliminate this system in order to transform our federal government and support the American people ONCE AGAIN.
And when he does that; Maybe this will end the media and democrat narrative that Elon is the president instead of Trump.
This possible “purposeful narrative” deployment doesn’t seem to be considered at all in my opinion.
great theory. i'm still stuck on 'them' learning how to mine coal.
a lot of our coal miners quit school early to work in the coal mines to help their families survive. when they shut down the coal mines, THEY all knew damn well that most of those coal miners weren't educated enough to go into the TECH world, and not one of those POS had sympathy for these people. i remember, learn how to code. F them. i hope they have to work the coal mines when Trump opens everything back up.
and i hope that some of these old coal miners end up being 'their' bosses. i don't think these coal miners will give one F about their feelz.
Coal mining as punishment? Nah. It'sa proud tradition that is blue collar real Joe work that's passed from father to son in many many cases. Everyone that actually knows mining folk, knows that. Sorry if i misunderstood your sentiment. I am just touchy about class conciousness.
i understand about the class consciousness and that is why i posted what i posted.
these people are very proud and hard working people only to be, belittled at the worst times of their lives (to have their work shut down by the very government they pay taxes to) and have those people tell them they need to learn how to code.
i only have an associates degree and i am in no way putting the coal miners and their families down. i was stating that a lot of people in those situations quit school early so they can help keep the family afloat.
most of these blue haired morons wouldn't even pick up a shovel to plant a plant, little alone do it for 8-10-12 hours a day.
i think you misunderstood my empathy for the coal miners and my distain for the the blue haired, not knowing what gender they are, crowd.
It's unfair the way the market behaves in this world. You only have time to think about your gender if you are living with so much insulation and material support that you have to seek a vacation in victimhood. Blue hair marks one as privileged. Carries social cache and displays a lack of desperation.Homeless people and miners dont have the time or money or inclination to stand out from the majority and these dyed kids take it all for granted. You already know.
The "let them eat code" kind of comment is ipso facto not a serious position. I have three degrees in aeronautical science and have built my own programs in BASIC, FORTRAN, and Excel to do my work, but that is a far cry from major mainframe coding in languages I whose names I can't even pronounce. Not everyone can or will ever be a code maven, and it has nothing to do with a comparison to mining coal---which I also cannot do, 3 degrees notwithstanding. Never forget that it was code mavens responsible for killing 364 passengers and crew in two 737 MAX crashes. And it is code mavens who are responsible for the automatic-driving fatalities that are cropping up. Code mavens don't produce food. Code mavens do not populate the entire production chain from forests to houses, and to paper products. Or the production chain from raw materials to automobiles, airplanes, and electronics. They do busy themselves with things like A.I., which so far is an encyclopedia set masquerading as a fortune-teller.
It is an insult, to be sure, but we have to stand back and realize that it is the insult of an ignorant and arrogant asshole, who doesn't even understand coding.
You didn't. I was referring to those idiot politicians who took the attitude that for all the coal-miners put out of work, they should learn to code. And I paraphrased it with Marie Antoinette's remark about the starving Frenchment, "They have no bread? Then let them eat cake."
This does go back to the referenced X post. Do you have any objection to what I said?

But it is a possibility. Game theory.

A lot of people here with egg on their face.
I think so. It's fun watching a good plan unfold.

tell me where did i write, "let them eat code"? what exactly are you going on about?
You didn't. I was referring to those idiot politicians who took the attitude that for all the coal-miners put out of work, they should learn to code. And I paraphrased it with Marie Antoinette's remark about the starving Frenchment, "They have no bread? Then let them eat cake."

Something is going on. He's quintupling down on X.
Hmmm. This post is very stylistically similar to Q drops. It will be interesting if/when we get to find out who is behind all the usernames here :)
Joe is the best. Ive been hooked on his substack since the Master and Commander series.
