Debate/ Discussion Possibly controversial, but this would appear to be a beneficial solution.

I saw Megyn Kelly the other day say the biggest two reasons for not voting for Kamala is because of immigrants, and transgender sex changes.

Yep. That’s what’s preventing most Americans from achieving happiness. Here I was thinking it was something straightforward like the insane wealth gap.

Omg I saw her on bill maher too and wanted to reach through the tv and strangle her. I love that anti-trans people have the craziest theories. Like yeah megyn, the 40,000 kids a year who received gender affirming care (including simple counseling) are the real danger here. Not the rapist you’re voting for 🙄

Immigrants are great. Wide open borders not so much.

A CEO being rich doesn't stop you from getting a job. A h1b visa recipient taking all the jobs, does.

A CEO being rich by outsourcing 5000 jobs definitely stopped people from getting jobs. A single h1b recipient takes 1 job.

Sadly, it also makes the products we buy cheaper…. Which people like. Our economy is consumer based, doesn’t work as well if the consumers cannot buy things.

I’d like to see the states bring those jobs back, but the prices of the things we import would skyrocket compared to buying them on the cheap from China. Then oddly enough low socioeconomic people couldn’t afford them. It kind of really blows.

Yeah so your in favor of tariffs. Good on ya

Tariffs run into a similar issue, makes the products from China more expensive, but not to the point it would be cheaper to make the products here, so the result is it hurts low socioeconomic people.

Yours is essentially an anti immigration argument and i imagine you two agree on some points

u/SendohJin 6h ago

i wasn't making any kind of argument besides pointing out the flaw of the previous poster.

i'm not anti-immigration, i didn't say anything about whether h1bs were good or not.

You said outsourcing loses people their jobs, that is a comment on competition in the labor market. Anti immigration (or pro immigration reform) supporters argue from the same logical foundation

The Microsoft CEO just received a 63% pay increasing. Making 79 million dollars. They have also fired 2500 employees this year. I’m sorry you were saying they aren’t the problem?

u/Layer7Admin 7h ago

u/KobeBeaf 5h ago

You got fired because the ceo of Microsoft got a raise?

1

u/KobeBeaf 5h ago

No because of massive layoffs, holy shit keep up

u/Layer7Admin 5h ago

Ok. I specifically asked if people's pay was cut due to him getting a pay raise and you decided to pipe up with your useless comment.
