They forget that in a day or two. They literally have the mental capacity of a toddler.
Toddlers eventually learn though, and progress. Trumpy people a more like dogs: They can appear clever, but only up to a certain threshold. They may even perform useful tasks and tricks for their handlers. But ultimately they need someone to feed and supervise them otherwise they'll eat something they shouldn't and get sick. That same contented trot, and look of purpose you see on a dogs face while their owner walks them is what a republican gets when they're getting walked by fascists. Both the dog and the republican think they're part of a pack. Both the dog and the republican will be euthanized by their masters when they become too burdensome or they've outlived their usefulness.
"No one wants to work" has always had an unspoken "for the paltry wages I am offering" component to it.
Do you know why they don't like remote work? Eventually, you can remotely work for another country that pays more.
They don't like remote work because it means they're wasting money on office space. Rather than fix that problem they want to fill the unnecessary space and pretend there's no problem.
It also means they're wasting money on middle management more often than not. Which scares middle management.
Not even necessarily wages. Sometimes it's, "nobody wants to work with me as their boss."
The pump and dump tech bro immigrants. Fleecing America.
So fitting as DOGE is named after a literal pump and dump shitcoin.
More like a memecoin. DOGE was pretty fun until dipshit Elon hijacked it.
How was it fun?
It was originally created as a parody of Bitcoin. The Doge community used to be mostly people making fun of crypto "investors".
It was fun when it was just pictures of dogs and not a coin
It was just a meme at first mostly making fun of Bitcoin. The community made a lot of funny content and really didn't take itself seriously. What it is now is a polar opposite of what it started as (including its creator)
Yes, and perfectly named because:
Dogecoin is an inflationary cryptocurrency, which means that its supply increases over time. New coins are regularly added to the system through minting and mining. Dogecoin's inflationary system is unique because it adds a consistent 5 billion new coins each year.
It’s both inflationary and a rug puller’s delight.
I was in a band called Rug Puller's Delight.
The first three or four songs of every set were excellent covers of chart topping songs and the rest was a rambling and dissonant 90-minute jazz opera about navel lint.
We never played the same venue twice for some reason.. 🤔
"We have a shortage of engineers!"
How do you know?
"Because they won't work for minimum wage!"
Same way I am currently suffering under an acute shortage of Porsche Taycans.
And they do so for two reasons. The first, and most important, is because foreign labor is cheaper than domestic by far. The second, and arguably the most important for you and I, is because our education system sucks and can't pump out nearly as many well-educated folks in those particular fields at nearly the rate of countries with free, subsidized, or even just cheap education.
So the problem is twofold. The first, rent is too expensive and Americans know it. The second, school is too expensive and Americans know it. Americans also know that we can't actually fix those problems without something changing with how our political and economic systems operate, and that takes a revolution that nobody wants because they don't want to fight and die for their right to be exploited by an employer in place of an immigrant.
Another lemmy user also pointed out the very different power dynamic between normal US workers and H1B workers (which I think is a more "saying the quiet part" than the cost to hire them being less). This is that a normal US worker losing their job (state dependent) could mean wrongful termination suits, compensation packages, and other worker benifits. H1B workers, termination means the runway to getting deported is now very short (because they are no longer working for their sponsor). Its extra leverage against the employee, meaning they can take advantage of them in ways that would make US workers take action against.
The likes of musk and co want workers who they have more leverage over. They can ask them to do more things against regulations, ethics or their own well being, because refusal to do so means they might as well start packing.
I’m not really sure if education is the keystone issue, though. It’s a big part of the arch, for sure, but it’s well documented that economic stress and resource scarcity can take even smart people and make them drop-dead stupid. There are plenty of well educated people who have been so filled with hate and fear that they’ll believe anything and hate anyone so long as it makes them feel like they’ll have some financial security.
Does the education of other countries include “critical thinking”, “propoganda identification”, or a mandatory “basic economics for the regular person so they can understand the concept of indirect benefit”? Do their existing courses even touch on those topics indirectly in ways that someone “who needs a little help” can learn enough to keep themselves safe? Not really, and that’s why we’re even seeing Germany basically make the same fucking mistake as before and it’s not even been 100 years yet.
Ready to fight and die if it’s billionaires were hunting 🤚
Take a guess whose side the militarized police will be on.
A pessimistic view of education is that it's a subsidy for business. We use our taxes to train core skills in the workforce so it's cheaper to hire and use us.
They don't offer education as enrichment, and not even education as a competitive measure... like they aren't grounded in reality and even their fantasies suck.
I heard that from Europeans talking about US schools. Anything in school that doesn't directly help you in your job is a waste of time and money.

While in Europe education is seen as something edifying that kind of raises you to another level.
How do we know they realized anything?
As much as I want to enjoy posts like this one, I always ask myself this and it takes the joy out of it every time. It's just a nice fantasy that reminds me of the "Nobody in this room know I ..." meme.
It's always "MAGAs are losing their minds over ...", but never any explanation or sourcing.
Elon is apparently censoring conservatives who disagreed with him over the immigration issue.
I don't really see much change occurring though. Most conservatives I know will continue deluding themselves.
pssst - that flag and MAGA hat were made in China lol. Go USA!!!
I love seeing economic incels whine
Vivek?.. Vivec... MORROWIND REFERENCE?!?
Vivek is is a fairly common name among Indians. It means "Wisdom". Do what you will with that information.
Man, his parents really got it wrong with him then. The word(s) for "selfish immoral idiot" would have been more apt as his name.
(laughs in Dagoth Ur)
What a grand and intoxicating innocence.
I don't know, my girlfriend bought me a coat.
Hardly. MAGAts learning the truth a couple months ago so what's about to transpire over the next four years was something COMPLETELY different would've been the greatest gift.
THX Elon, you finally did one good thing: start rightist infighting
The real comedy is that they thought they'd get hired EVEN IF Elmo hired Americans. Vast majority of the magats barely even have a GED, let alone higher education
