| On Wednesday, Musk wrote on X, which he owns: "The number of people
| who are super talented engineers AND super motivated in the USA is
| far too low."
|
| In another post, he said that a "shortage of excellent engineering
| talent" is a "fundamental limiting factor in Silicon Valley."
|
| The following day, Ramaswamy drew a backlash from MAGA supporters
| after arguing in a lengthy post on X that tech companies need
| foreign workers because Americans don't have a good enough work
| ethic and that American culture "venerated mediocrity over
| excellence."
|
| "The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born & first-
| generation engineers over 'native' Americans isn't because of an
| innate American IQ deficit (a lazy & wrong explanation). A key part
| of it comes down to the c-word: culture," Ramaswamy wrote.

What will be the foreign born population in Howard Lutnick's Census.GOV
head count and share of the American labor market in Lori Chavez-
DeRemer's BLS.GOV surveys at the end of Donald Trump's second term and
how does Peter Thiel expect VP JD Vance to sell the hard facts on the
ground to legacy American proles who thought they voted against their
dispossession in 2024?

"Institutional Democrats hate Trump, and institutional Republicans
are lukewarm, at best, in defending Trump.  Both wings of the DC
UniParty fear Trump.  Extreme efforts at control are always a
reaction to fear.  I make my case not on supposition, but on
empirical reference points that most should understand." - Sundance
