> Social Security and Medicare are unpopular to cut, but its easily done, and a necessity to make significant cuts. I think the electorate has given a mandate to the govt to do this, do I expect they'll do it. (Trump campaigned on t

Perhaps. Most certainly the unelected musk / ramaswamy coalition is all about that. It's really up in the air how this will go. With the recent meltdown on X, I await Trump's words and actions. His base is unhappy, as is his

I'm able to thrive under any political system. Globalism is just large scale fascism in my eyes.

I'd prefer to take a pay cut and continue working - that's survival 101, which as a human is my primary concern.

> many of them are no longer hiring in the US, but in India, Poland and Brazil instead to reiterate what i've stated throughout this thread: passing up US workers in favor of hiring foreigners should incur heavy penalties. There is

Then let them go through the immigration system, get a green card and start working in the US. The original thread here is me saying that it should be illegal / there should be penalties for hiring abroad when there are plenty of skill

It sounds like those in Denmark who are rejoicing over this are also anti-globalization, so its a win for everyone then.

Having worked for a startup and lost my job to remote workers in a foreign country because they were cheaper and being told "we can hire 3 or 4 of them for the price of you" has left a bitter taste in my mouth.

> Then make this choice when you own a company Absolutely I would. > What % of your paycheck are you willing to donate to being pro America? This is a tu quoque logical fallacy. I'll cross that bridge if and when I come to it, bu

Yes there are a lot of companies, and yes people and companies can lie. I'm not really sure how this negates what I said or my view on the matter. Globalization is the antithesis of the America First movement.

So be it.

If a company is operating in a foreign nation sure. If a company is operating in America on American soil and refusing to hire Americans because they want to save a buck, they should face penalties. I do not see hiring foreigners as being p

Thanks - I agree that I think the "white male" thing might primarily be getting pushed by white nationals on X (and since I'm a white male, my experiences will of course relate to white males). That's why I'm curiou

Terrible. I've turned to making video games while my wife works. Rough times.

No, I hired them myself at the behest of the company, trained them, and then was fired because they were cheaper.

Indeed - I've legitimately considered creating a fake profile at this point to make myself look more Jr with about 10 years of experience. I don't really have much to lose in trying it.

by w4ffl35 2y ago
That has been my experience as well.

by w4ffl35 2y ago
That has been one of my fears. I've even considered it for myself, but I'm 43 - too late for me.

I strongly suggest the opposite. Collect everything and do on a personal site, do good seo on your pages, expose your content. Go totally anon for anything you don't want exposed of course. But you should expose as much of yourself as

Actually, this makes it obvious why you should keep a page that contains all your links. It's easy to just make an account and pose as someone in order to destroy their reputation. It's also difficult to get unique accounts, often
