I don't have personal experience, but it's my understanding that most H1B holders get paid well below market rates, and I have no doubt that the DoL under this administration will greatly exacerbate the problem. https://www.epi.org/publication/h-1b-visas-and-prevailing-wage-levels/

Well, there should be less people entering the career path at least; especially if they're just doing it for money and not passion. I'm pretty sure most of this stuff is deliberate because the elite were getting afraid of the growing power of their workers (talks of unionizing, demanding their companies be more ethical, etc). Most large corps seem to have given up on innovating, so yeah, less new software is being made, except for whatever is overhyped by investors (AI atm).

If I understand correctly this CR legalizes DOGE and everything it has and wants to do in the future. Shutting government down completely is preferable, IMO. The federal employee unions agree.

Some states are pretty authoritarian and stop cities from doing anything good. Some states have banned rank-choice voting. But yeah, where this is possible, it's definitely a path forward.

Yeah, I think it's either this, or the tariffs are extortion (announce tariffs, then solicit bribes from businesses and politicians). Could be both as well.

I doubt they'd do any fiscal spending through safety nets, since they are dismantling them; I suppose bail-outs could be on the table. I've seen some analysts/economists claim that the Trump admin wants to devalue the USD to grow the manufacturing sector, and the admin seems to be pressuring the Fed to lower interest rates. The consensus seems to be that stagflation is what's actually going to happen. I don't quite understand why the admin wants to bring back manufacturing sector, because they're typically low-wage jobs (especially if not unionized), and unemployment was pretty low. Among the billionaire class, there seems to be a concerted effort to shed decent-paying jobs, so I guess the plan is for those people to go work on assembly lines.

These people aren't conservatives; they are christian and white nationalists. Michael Savage was permanently banned from the UK for hate speech.

High quality blades can be professionally sharpened multiple times. Blades from Big Box stores generally cannot. That being said, Diablo's are fine for home user, IMO.

It's probably more interesting to them than watching their kids. I've known people that would work late all the time and sometimes on weekends, or always trying to travel for work to avoid their families.

Not a Republican. I assume Trump is making backroom personal deals to get the world's politicians and businesses to bribe him in some way. Aligns with how he seems to operate with everything else.
