  1. Senator Eric Schmitt (R). What a piece of ISHT!

    Says America is for (white) descendants of Christian Pilgrims.. and follows that up with worse clarification on his position.

    Senator Schmitt is the kind of rot we need to remove from our government.

    The Missouri senator suggested true Americans are “the sons and daughters of the Christian pilgrims that poured out from Europe’s shores.”

  2. I hear talk of folks from India getting these jobs at lower pay than what is posted. I have no evidence of that. But, who in our government is checking/monitoring that?

    Employers are NOT required to post the job in the US first, before sponsoring a foreign worker.

    They should be required to.

  3. I would add the HB-1 visa group to this image. This group is taking jobs we send our kids to college for. We, and our kids carry college debt, only to watch good paying jobs for companies like Intel to foreigners.

    Those are the jobs "immigrants are taking". It's not getting much media attention.

  4. The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

    Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

    The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

    Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

    See the problem?

  5. I grew up in the ’60s and ’70s as a proud American, feeling sorry for people in the Soviet Union forced to live under a system of crushing corruption and cruelty. We’re those people now.
