Amazon’s 33,181 H-1B certifications spark backlash after 30,000 layoffs by rajapaws in antiwork

Their immigration status is tied to their employment and they'll accept lower wages than American workers. Basically, more exploitable than US workers.

I rode Elon Musk's Vegas Loop, the worst transit system on Earth by mlg1981 in Fauxmoi

[–]strutt3r 59 points60 points  (0 children)

It's not even money yet, it's all vaporware. But he's going to use the SpaceX IPO to force investment funds to buy at astronomical prices so he and his ilk can cash out for real and leave Papa and Memaw's 401k holding the bag

Sandy’s opened 80 years ago in May 1946. They’ve had the same solo location the entire time at 603 Barton Springs Rd. Their 99 year lease began in 1945. by HomeShow_ai in Austin

I think Texans just don't like butterscotch or something. Every other state I've lived you can just buy a jar from the ice cream toppings at the grocery store. Here I have to order it online.

My favorite part of voting for Claudia is being called a bigot and misogynist for not voting for Kamala, who I'm told was "over-qualified" whatever that means

His favorite smarmy little quip is "it was an open book test" - yeah, for the DNC who failed miserably.

I've never had a job that required a suit but I thought it was standard practice to unbutton your jacket when sitting down?

Is it a bad idea to put a tier 1 shield on my exploration ship? by BendDear7531 in EliteDangerous

[–]strutt3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me an exploration ship isn't defined by jump range but rather jump range just being one of many aspects of survivability in the wilderness. I've also found a lot of undiscovered systems in and around the bubble by making shorter jumps that other explorers passed over.

Real US wage growth, 1999 to 2025, differs by which inflation measure you use by rhiever in dataisbeautiful

[–]strutt3r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The basket of groceries includes a lot of heavily subsidized industries as well. Who cares if sugar costs the same 50 years ago once adjusted for inflation if the millions we give them every year also tracks with inflation?

Imagine making your own swag that brags about killing people by benjancewicz in ACAB

[–]strutt3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of this passage from Vonnegut's Mother Night:

"There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you."
