How many cancer diagnoses are attributable to formaldehyde annually do you think?

To be fair I think he’d look pretty good if he just got a little sun. But obviously he can’t do that.

Not upset, just feel genuinely compelled to defend the H-1B program which contributes enormous value to both foreign workers and every American citizen. I would be upset to see it end and hundreds of thousands of good people deported. That’s all. Have a good day.

Nothing in the story was about sanitary conditions. It was a normal cleaning crew doing their normal job. They were just surprised because there were beds in break rooms. Elon was sleeping there himself. It has nothing to do with the Department of Health and nothing to do with H-1B.

So Tesla hires and fires such that their workforce grows (enormously) every year and is roughly 1%-2% H-1B workers, and this is β€œexactly” evidence of what? They’re hiring tens of thousands of US citizens every single year. What is the issue here?

If all the evidence you have is that a cleaning crew took photos of two beds in break rooms at Twitter, I hope you realize that the claim that they’re β€œdetaining” H-1B workers in a β€œliteral flophouse” is completely deranged. No one even pretends that this story has anything to do with H-1B.

No, not at all… they’re hiring WAY MORE than they’re firing. Tesla’s head count is increasing by thousands or tens of thousands of employees every year.

A literal flophouse with workers detained? Can you share any evidence at all that this is true? Because I don’t believe you but happy to be proved wrong.

Regardless, what’s your argument here? What should be done?

08.01.2025 16:42 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

H-1B applications are public record. Tesla employs fewer than 2000 people on an H-1B of more than 120k employees. Is that too many? What?

They fire thousands of people every single year and have never applied for more than 1000 new H-1Bs in any single year.

H-1B workers are subject to all of the same labor rights and protections as US citizens. H-1B employers are required to provide the same working conditions for all employees. I’m not sure what you’re talking about here (link?), but employers who violate the law are bad and should be prosecuted.

100% of H-1B Employers Offer Average Market Wagesβ€”78% Offer More The H‑1B program is the main on-ramp recent foreign college graduates have to the U.S. labor market. Excluding these workers would shrink the skilled foreign labor market by more than 50 percent, and ...

Plenty are not β€œworking on the cheap.” $150k was conservative. $141k is *25th* percentile. And H-1B employers are legally required to offer prevailing wages. Dept of Labor data show that 78% of H-1B employers offer more than the prevailing wage, 20% more on average (www.cato.org/blog/100-h-1...).

Not sure what distinction you’re making here. Foreign students can transfer their F1 student visa directly to an H-1B without ever leaving the country.

I respect you all deeply. H1-B workers come here freely, contribute to the economy and culture and country in innumerable ways, and make, on average, $150k+ a year. Uncritically sharing anything that dismisses them as β€œindentured servants” is beneath this account, truly.

A single American making $50k/year in 2024 is like top 5% globally and UNFATHOMABLY RICH to most of the world’s population. Saying that standard of living β€œmeans nothing” is detached from reality. It means a lot.

A lot of people would, in fact, be sad if someone murdered Justin Trudeau because normal people are generally pretty sensitive to murder, especially to the murder of people with whom they feel familiar.

Six Childhood Scourges We’ve Forgotten About, Thanks to Vaccines Most Americans, including doctors, have no memory of the devastating diseases that routinely threatened children until the 1960s.

Questions today about vaccines might just be a product of their success. Here’s what people should know about six once-common illnesses that vaccines have contained for decades.

You definitely aren’t. You incessantly post low IQ talking points without ever actually substantively engaging on any topic. You are entirely indistinguishable from an AI chatbot programmed by an enemy of the US to spread anti-American propaganda.
