No, it means you're going to wait longer and pay more for work that depended on undocumented workers. Which means you will buy less. I think you really do not understand that the availability of affordable labor creates whole markets for things that wouldn't otherwise exist.

For example, if you remove all the highschool kids from an town, it does not mean lawn care professionals claw back jobs and higher pay for mowing lawns over the summer, it means a bunch of consumers exit the market for lawn mowing entirely because they were already not going to pay Professional Lawn Care and Plumbing Co, BEFORE the sudden lose of a bunch of workers.

You're literally fucking with an end of the economy that has no replacement. It's the same reason killing the used car market doesn't lead to more new car sales the way you'd want. I don't want anyone, immigrants or young people, or elderly, anyone, to be exploited or abused, period. We do not have too many workers in this country, that is fucking ridiculous.

And then housing, OMfG seriously, do you have any fucking idea the scale of what you're talking about? We're still just crawling back to not even pre-pandemic levels.

Comment Re: Still on the doors? (Score 2) 170

And maybe because the windows have no frames, the doors contain electric motors that unseal the windows when one opens a door and seal them when one closes a door. This is a bit of a problem when one of these motors fails or when the battery is dead or disconnected.

I thought _every_ convertible did that, because the windows seal with the roof of the car. An old Ford Mustang is definitely not high tech.

I've driven one on a dead alternator and dying battery, you just push the door open, the glass is pressed into a soft rubber seal and pops out a little less than gracefully. Obviously the dead battery and alternator are the bigger concern because you're not going anywhere.

Who complains about window motors on a convertible ffs?

Comment Re: Space version of US Merchant Marine Academy (Score 1) 135

With 95 percent of the world's products transported over water, these leaders are vital to the effective operation of our merchant fleet for both commercial and military transport in peace and war.

What you have there is a really good argument for seeding your commercial shipping industry with reserve naval officers in case of widespread war which requires commercial fleets to aide the war effort. Or natural disasters, etc.

THAT is strategic as fuck, badass, and in absolutely no way justifies the existence of any of the other service academies. All of the other ones are vestigial limbs. It's like if some of us had tails. Would I cut it off, hell no. Is it good for something, sure I mean we all need good balance. Would you be looking for reasons to make more tails? If we were doing this all from scratch do you need one?

The United States Marine Corps has a better leg to stand on for getting its own service academy, and I'll straight up call that retarded and gay right now. It somehow, magically, manages to retain culture and traditions without some special clubby school for a fraction of the officers. WOW! But hey man if you came through Annapolis, good for you bud, I have friends that swing that way, nothing but love for y'all seriously.

There is absolutely no reason to create a new service academy other than some dumb legacy building bullshit. It does not fit your merchant marine example, because what in the hell do you even need a bunch of reserve space force officers for, at fucking all, and you're not going to tap them to run space oil tankers for the war or pickup refugees from the Moon.

So what in the hell is it for then, a four year STEM focused BS, steeped in the traditions and values of ... the space force? Do you fucking need that right now, I mean ever? What is it exactly that you get out of this that you don't from Texas A&M ROTC graduates for example.

When you say people are poisoning the blood of our country it does sort of color you a shade of evil that it's hard to come back from by doing things like questioning our constitution's plain text birthright citizenship guarantee, calling people animals, garbage, and making up stories about them eating cats and dogs for literally no reason other than bigotry and hatred.

Then going from barking about the debt and foreign intervention to ... more debt and foreign intervention, trying to build himself monuments. Why should I take him at his word?

He is legit the most fucked up president we have ever had, so everything looks like TDS. Maybe if you made a good faith effort to balance the budget or actually lower federal spending.. instead of creating another fucking service academy?? For the weird branch of the military he created ... which is still mostly civilians.

its not meant to make them stop using it. its meant to stop them from using it to replace there entire workforce with them. if someone is Reilly talented and worth the money there gonna have to pay for it. otherwise hire local.

How, someone will find a way to pay $100,000 to make half what a U.S. software developer makes. Life finds a way. Will this eliminate abuse, or move money around.

Yes, but that waiver is only worth it for an individual that truly is exceptional. For the more common skilled engineer or scientist the waiver is not worth it

You're looking at it ass backing fuckwards, not what premium a company would pay for a cheap engineer or scientist, but what premium a cheap engineer or scientist would pay for an American engineer or scientist job. They'll still come here, take additional debt, but buy the house without a pool, maybe drive a Corola a few years.

This is a blatant cash grab. Sooner you realize that the sooner you can stop the mental gymnastics of pretending this fixes anything and move on to the mental circus of pretending this is a brilliant 4d cash grab, that will restore science funding.. err uhh lower our grocery bills, or.. fuck, it's just going to go to like Peter Thiel or some kid named Big Balls isn't it.

Dude we know you don't even have a theory of how this is supposed to work. This is a money grab and won't change how the system works. The money will 100% not go to a good cause. H-1B workers will still be exploited once they get here after Trump takes his cut, and it will not lower your groceries, your rent, your gas or pay one dime of federal debt. It will probably be invested in AI data centers and justify even more H-1B workers. Because the goal is to help a few people get rich, not fix anything.
