• MEDIA: The NYT interviews everybody I know

    From John D Groenveld@21:1/5 to All on Fri Mar 14 11:50:55 2025
    Steve Sailer on whether Donald Trump will attempt to enlist Peter
    Thiel's VP JD Vance to serve as Trump's Deputy Chief Salescritter
    for Trump's bipartisan, comprehensive, merit-based, immigration
    reform legislative legacy authored by the Cheap Labor Lobby and
    passed by Mike Johnson's House.GOV and John Thune's Senate.GOV
    and whether Thiel will allow Vance to wipe away his path to
    WhiteHouse.GOV: <URL:https://www.stevesailer.net/p/the-nyt-interviews-everybody-i-know>
    | Still, the two sides of the GOP coalition need each other, one to
    | bring intelligence and the other to bring votes, but the class
    | tension will be inevitable once the Democrats start acting a little
    | less obnoxiously.
    |
    || But the core of the aspiring Trumpian aristocracy are still
    || reactionaries and nationalists aching to restore an American way of
    || life thought to be lost after decades of "globalist" technocracy.
    || They are often deeply skeptical of the idea that the innovations
    || promised by tech companies represent progress, and they describe
    || America as "not just a country, not just an economy, but a people
    || with a common history," as Jeremy Carl, a deputy assistant secretary
    || of the interior in the first Trump administration and a senior
    || fellow at the Claremont Institute, told me. The tech figures who
    || came to the movement in 2024 were often sympathetic to Trumpian
    || nationalism. But they tended to be more interested in making money
    || and launching a new era of "American dynamism."
    ||
    || Over Christmas, a bilious debate over the federal H-1B visa
    || program -- which brings in approximately 85,000 foreign workers,
    || most of them Indian and most of them working in tech -- unfolded on
    || Mr. Musk's X. ...
    |
    | My compromise would be that H-1B gets cut in quantity, but the tech
    | lords get to redesign it to make it better in quality.

    What will be the foreign born population in Howard Lutnick's Census.GOV
    head counts and share of the American labor market in Lori Chavez-
    DeRemer's BLS.GOV surveys at the end of Trump's second term and does
    Susie Wiles foresee any GOP.COM strivers for WhiteHouse.GOV finding a
    sugar daddy to fund outflanking Thiel-Vance from the right on the
    National Question by stumping for an immigration moratorium?

    release of criminals? Check! More foreign workers as a time of
    record unemployment? Check!" - Daniel Horowitz <URL:https://twitter.com/RMConservative/status/1244731969025576962>
