I am not a fan of the psyop or fed accusation, but if you mean ‘useful idiot’ whether out of ordinary malicentives or intentional manipulation then I agree. The right and left each have their share of useful idiots. The only idiots that aren’t that useful are the undecideds,…

I’ve known dozens of guys who did a similar thing. Usually the rent is covered by the guys who live there, and the vending machines, pool tables, bar, are sources of revenue. All you need is a few friends, enough for a big security deposit, and a homeowner that has experience…

Context: Current debate between some right wing and musk et al over H1B visas.
1) false criticism: “in addition to the last comment you do realize universities discriminate against white men in favor of women and “minorities” already living in America.” Because answered with (a).
2) false accusation: “You are completely wrong about the nature of the problem.” not so per (a)
3) Straw man fallacy: attempt to amplify your false criticism to favor your bias by the combination.
Also:
4) Fact: foreigner dominated staff biases against the domestic population.
5) Fact: much cheaper workforce.
6) Also: I have built and sold two $100m tech consulting companies. My company was hired by msft to do the original white papers on analysis of overseas tech outsourcing.
7) Also: use perplexity or other engine to collect data and don’t disagree with me unless you have. I have been wrong. Its just historically uncommon.Reply addressees: @RichardArion1

THE ANSWER TO THE H1B DEBATE? (a) US colleges are selecting against white males.
THE ANSWER TO THE H1B DEBATE?
(a) US colleges are selecting against white males.
(b) US colleges are selecting in favor of foreigners b/c $.
(c) The IQ distribution in China means that with a much larger population they will produce as many +130 as the USA and Europe combined.
(d) The IQ distribution in India means that while they produce around the same total +130, they are more likely to pursue USA jobs given the asymmetry of rewards.
(e) Net is that we (the west) do not produce enough +130 to compete in science and tech without SUPPLEMENTING our +130 with theirs.
(f) Policy must be:
– i) to exhaust the US supply before including foreign students in colleges and universities,
– ii) and Visa must be limited to top talent,
– iii) and birthright citizenship and chain migration must be prohibited.As in all things demographics drive everything.
That’s my understanding of the data.
Thanks

Nope. You can’t ‘shut off your taps’ without total economic and political collapse. Numbers are what they are. The USA on the other hand knows that those who can pay the tariffs will, and those that won’t will die. And the impact on the people would be devastating. And the USA can source from anywhere. The worst that happens in the USA is we shift to buying basic resources from somewhere else, and companies that manufacture in canada would repatriate to the usa.
