Bernie Sanders Wades Into MAGA Civil War to Trash Elon Musk
www.thedailybeast.com
The veteran senator said Musk is “wrong” about the visa debate causing chaos in Trumpworld.

Summary

Senator Bernie Sanders criticized Elon Musk over his support for the H-1B visa program, calling it a tool for corporations to replace good-paying American jobs with lower-wage foreign labor.

Sanders cited data showing U.S. companies laid off 85,000 American workers between 2022 and 2023 while hiring 34,000 H-1B visa holders, arguing this undermines U.S. competitiveness.

Musk, who credits the visa program for his success, defended it, stating he’s ready to “go to war” over the issue.

The debate has divided MAGA conservatives, exposing rifts within Trump’s coalition.

    What if I told you that illegal immigrants are essentially slaves, and far cheaper to hire than visa holders?

          words are hard

          You’ve made it this far while entirely avoiding taking a fucking hint so expecting you to read words and be permitted to interpret them yourself is just completely unfair, so here is the definition:

          No shit, Sherlock:

          • That is or was completely obvious or self-evident.
          • The ironical reference to the famous fictional detective Sherlock Holmes is meant to emphasize that the thing mentioned did not require any great intelligence or deduction to determine or know.

          What you said, that I responded, “no shit sherlock”, to is superfluously obvious. It required literally no work of thought to comprehend.

            So here’s how I handle posts that start by linking to dictionary.com; I assume the person on the other end is a pretentious douche, I stop reading, and I reply to explain why so they don’t waste any more time writing things I’m not going to read.

              Lol, maybe next time just think before you type. It’s not hard. And maybe the fact that you have met so many “pretentious douches” should tell you that maybe the rest of the world isn’t as pretentious as you are simple. Maybe the common denominator in all of your experiences with assholes is you. And maybe outsourcing your critical thought to everyone around you makes you an incorrigible drag on society. Good thing you didn’t read this though.
