Ugh, another one of these, and I don’t even feel like writing this one.
Blah blah blah, Trump sucks. He’s a terrible president, blah blah blah.
I don’t care about Trump’s immigration bill for some reasons: 1) It’s only a bill, and not a law, so who cares; 2) it wouldn’t do enough anyways; 3) Trump has a history of not delivering because he doesn’t care enough to make an effort; 4) mainstream conservative types like Coulter and vdare and such love the bill, so you know it’s dumb and not what people want anyways; and 5) he’s obviously doing it only to serve himself, since he seems to have finally realized that he’ll need at least a sliver of support amongst his voter base if he’s going to leave office as “not a total embarrassment”. As it stands, he’s now probably not as bad for his base as his predecessor, Dubya, who was arguably the worst president this country has ever had.
Ugh, fuck all these people.
As it stands, the loser here is the oligarchy, since it’s obvious now that their big play to remain relevant with Americans has failed massively and spectacularly. Trump’s approval ratings are at some historical lows right now. Good. Fuck him and his entire family.
The oligarchy here is really and truly terrible. It’s almost incomprehensible how greedy and childish these people are.
In the wake of Trump’s posturing and pretending to care about his base with this immigration bill, the MSM is predictably filled with whining from our billionaires about how they “can’t afford” to hire American workers. Leading the charge as always are the tech companies, who of course have more billions hoarded than anyone else these days.
Always, it’s companies like Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft that complain loudest about not being able to hire American workers because of salary demands, in spite of their being famous for having more cash stashed away than most governments. Apple in particular has at least like 50 billion dollars just sitting there in their bank accounts. And they are always amongst the loudest to protest about the “unreasonable demands” that having American workers puts on them.
American companies in total have literally trillions of dollars just sitting there, untouched, in their savings accounts. I’m not going to point out again how dumb and selfish that is, because its obvious, but it is interesting how the assholes who run these companies can just sit and brazenly lie to everyone in the world.
I mean, everyone knows they’re lying. There isn’t a person on this Earth who can’t see it. But, they lie anyways, and then pay off the politicians here to game the system to let them get away with it, all in plain view of the entire world.
It’s amazing, how brazen and obviously dishonest it all is. But yet, there it is.
Considering all the money hoarded by Apple, they could easily just take one percent of it, go out to Appalachia, and train a new workforce for their company, and mold people into whatever kind of employees they want, to fill any number of positions they could possibly think of. I mean, one percent of their hoard would be 500 million dollars. Fuck, they wouldn’t even need that much. Maybe one percent of one percent would be enough.
With Apple’s money, they could easily come up with a workforce of Americans of any size, to do anything they want, whenever they want it. But, since Apple doesn’t even like this country… there you go.
America doesn’t need immigration. At all. From anywhere. We have something like 100 million people of working age right now not working. It would be child’s play for American companies to use a fraction of their hoarded trillions to train people here to fill any positions they have. But they won’t, since they’re too greedy to part with even a small portion of their “profits”.
And that’s just the companies. I’m leaving out the personal fortunes of assholes like Gates, Bezos and Trump.
As it stands, I still believe that the jerks that run the US economy will get what’s coming to them. Our oligarchs aren’t nice, or relatable, unlike those of other countries, and especially like those that used to run the show here, back in the day. This particular current group is just so noxious, vile and greedy that nobody even likes them, let alone wants to emulate them.
With Trump’s downfall, IMO it’s game over for the oligarchs. They have failed in the most important way. Trump’s failure has sealed the GOP’s fate. No longer will they ever be able to trick people into thinking that they will represent the concerns of the white working classes here. They’re finished; done. Even if Trump’s bill passes, IMO it’s too little, too late. Trump’s approval ratings are already the lowest ever at this point for a president, and they’re still falling. Game over, man.
And the Democrats are obviously out. Trump’s failure will not give any amount of success to them. Any white person not in the club would be a fool to vote for them. Obviously. And so, the nation’s largest demographic is out the door, and will work to create their own destiny, elsewhere.
We’re in no-man’s land, here. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
