Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

Because India has the cheapest workers, and it's a growing trend in American companies - to bring in an Indian manager/ceo then only hire Indians. I've seen this fist hand, I've also had friends in higher positions see and report it first hand. Elon knows this, and if he's saying Americans are 'retards' he's making it clear he is going to go with the cheap workers. I know a few Cananons who have said Canada is now overrun with Indians. I'm not racist at all, but there is a racist Indian supremacist element at work now in North America, without question.
Is he being swayed by Vivek Ramaswamy? i don't know, but both of these guys have been tied with WEF people, and 'going India' has been one of the things I've noticed WEF has been doing.
Elon has always been saying only one thing consistently. We need skilled immigration, but for highly skilled exceptional people who are so rare that every country would be in a mad rush to attract such people.
He has never indicated that he wants H1B as a cheap replacement for American workers, not that H1B should not be reformed (actually just the opposite).
[They] want us thinking in extremes and swinging the pendulum from one and to another, and it all starts in our minds. Only thing I ask people is, dont let the headlines / sound bites etc play with our emotions. Always look at the sauce beyond these click baits.
I'm open to that too.. just such a mess
