    The Last Refuge's Sundance on whether Sriram Krishnan will go the way
    of Donald Trump's 2020 pick for DoL.GOV, Andrew Puzder: <URL:https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/12/26/elon-musk-vivek-ramaswamy-and-the-silicon-valley-tech-millionaire-group-continue-lambasting-americans-while-advocating-for-expanded-foreign-worker-visas/>
    | For the past several days I have watched Vivek Ramaswamy, David
    | Sacks, Elon Musk and his big tech influencers debating with their
    | followers about the importance for them to continue expanding H-1b
    | visas for foreign tech workers. It is stunning to see this crew
    | double, triple and quadruple down on advocacy, while defining
    | American workers as inadequate for their Silicon Valley needs.
    |
    | Alas, it is what it is. Within the argument Musk, Ramaswamy, Sacks
    | and group have presented multiple justifications for their foreign
    | worker assistance programs, while advocating for expanded
    | immigration support therein.

    Does Peter Thiel worry VP JD Vance will destroy his path to
    WhiteHouse.GOV by serving as Deputy Chief Salescritter for the merit-
    based dispossession of legacy American proles?

    "Oligarchs increasingly taking front-facing role in politics. Same
    with many former "IC" officials. As legitimacy of system suffers,
    stakeholders emerge from behind scenes to more overt management.
    This has a further deligitimizing effect-similar to that of
    explaining a joke. https://t.co/C0udpmiHD2" - Darren Beattie <URL:https://twitter.com/DarrenJBeattie/status/1229807549085634560>
