  • Oh I thought it was just a couple random people getting squicky about trans ladies using the ladies room? So you admit that it's an organized effort. I don't think I've ever seen someone move their goalposts in the wrong direction before lmao

    Outlawing gender affirming medical care has zero impact on sports, you willful liar. No, the truth is that the people behind this movement are targeting trans people because they're the most convenient vulnerable group to rally hateful bigots around right now. Gay people are acceptable, the dog caught the car on the abortion "debate," and they need a new boogeyman to leverage to whip votes

















  • He's not 100% wrong about the H1B being indentured servitude. By many accounts, the only employees Twitter was able to retain were those here on H1B, which doesn't allow them to change employers without renewing their visa status. A good friend of mine was stuck in a bad employment situation because she was here on H1B. Employers definitely exploit that visa status, pretending that paying the visa processing fees gives them the right to abuse the employee.

    But heaven forbid we just reform it to give the H1B visa holder greater employment rights and more freedom to switch jobs easily. Never forget that "meritocracy" is always code for rich. Those who can afford the best schools, the best tutors, who have the best social connections to achieve in their careers. A "meritocratic" system absolutely would not be more fair.
