The app for independent voices

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾‍♀️.

Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Wow, this came at the perfect time.

Today has been a slog.

No bursts of creativity nor flashes of genius.

Today was all about pushing through and not giving up (even though I really wanted to).

Immigration as an Engineer's Triangle

It’s wrong to call Canada’s “low skill”. Its employment visa’s are pretty equiviliant to our h1bs. Its student program isn’t different then trumps promise to staple a green card to every diploma.

All that happened is they increase quantity and toon away the country cap. That meant getting a lot of mediocre Indians. The talent pool just isn’t that deep in India, they have an average iq of 76 for gods sake.

It’s useless to complain about diploma mills or people gaming the employment visas. The immi…

Canada has never had a country cap in its history. What actually happened comes down to three key factors:

Post-COVID labor demand – The economic rebound and inflation after COVID created the strongest labor demand in decades, making it easier than ever for immigrants to find jobs.

A surge in immigration interest – There was a significant, widespread increase in the desire to immigrate after COVID. This trend appeared across many Western countries, despite differing policies and demographics. Whi…

So bottom line Canada doesn’t have a country cap. The people who want to increase h1b in America proposed doing away with the cap. If they achieve that we will get outcomes similar to Canada.

What’s the bottom line here. Canada imported a bunch of Indians and they turned out to be mediocre additions that were culturally incompatible. Despite “skill based” restrictions that are likely not all that different then we would come up with if we increased the quota.

India does not have a deep talent pool. Quantity up = quality down. You also have to deal with the fact that it’s an incredibly corrupt, nepotistic, and desperate culture.

Western culture is based on a rough equality at a high overall level. India is a caste system in which centuries took place without interbreeding (even breeds of dogs interbreed, but not Indian castes). Most of the population is worthless and the theoretically good ones have spent millennia hating most people of the people they share the sun continent with and trying to separate from them. How do you think someone like that is going to behave in America? I think Vivek gave us the answer.
