One year ago today. Vivek Ramaswamy’s words, real Ohioans.
The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born & first-generation engineers over “native” Americans isn’t because of an innate American IQ deficit (a lazy & wrong explanation). A key part of it comes down to the c-word: culture. Tough questions demand tough answers & if

America does not need more visas for people from India. Perhaps no form of legal immigration has so displaced American workers as those from India. Enough already. We’re full. Let’s finally put our own people first.
Don’t forget that any trade deal with India will require us to give them more visas. I’d rather not pay them in visas and trade deficits. Let Modi see what terms he can get from Xi instead.

This is so dumb. American citizenship grants everyone the same legal rights. Legal rights are obviously different than cultural similarity. It is absurd on its face, not to mention arrogant and insulting, to suggest that someone who’s been here for five seconds is “every bit as
“There is no American who is more American than somebody else” Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy called out some on the far right at AMFest, challenging conservatives to embrace American ideals rather than focus on racial identity: “You’re American or you aren’t.”

Ohio is 64% Christian. Its Jewish population is 1.5%. Its Hindu population is less than 1%. Yet Ohioans must choose between a Christ-rejecting Jew and a Christ-rejecting Hindu conman to lead their state. Neither of you worship the King that the vast majority of Ohioans call
There’s a lot wrong with my Democrat opponent, but her Jewish faith isn’t on the list. Back off, anti-American.

If America is a creedal nation, then everyone who is not a natural-born citizen and who rejects America’s founding ethos and despises its Founders, history, culture customs, and people must be immediately denaturalized and deported. And if you oppose this action, which is

Hyphenated Americans are not more American than Heritage Americans.
Vivek Ramaswamy: "The idea of a 'Heritage American' is about as loony as anything the Woke Left has put up. There is no American who is more American than somebody else. It's crazy talk. We believe in ideals. That is who we are."

Vivek should do the right thing and drop out of the Ohio gubernatorial race. He is trailing a Democrat in a solidly red state while publishing essays in the New York Times that highlight how many of his potential voters want him deported and insist he is not truly American. Every

This is what's been on my mind since Vivek's latest Christmastime attack on Americans, while many other accounts have dutifully outlined the explicit will of the Founders in keeping America homogeneous by progeny; is there not an implicit directive to the question of "what is an
Here is a fatal flaw in this argument, and not the only one: what about an American who can trace his ancestry back 400 years in this country but who DOESN’T fully agree with “the creed of the American founding,” however Vivek defines it? Is he less American than a Somali who

When we say that it's time to "take our country back" this is exactly what we're talking about.
One final observation about the above essay: so much of this was generational. Older white men created a system whereby they'd be fine, but millenials and GenZ would get screwed. Cowardice and evil are a deadly combination.

A lot of people think "DEI" is lame diversity seminars or racial slogans at NFL games. In reality, it was a deliberate program of discrimination primarily against white men. This is an incredible piece that describes the evil of DEI and its consequences: https://t.co/fMiIfvz0qz

don't hire anyone from journalism to help tell your story in tech or brand a few years in that industry irrevocably harms you in the workforce. they are low output, low agency, have weird moral stickups, and mostly believe themselves above teamwork, many such cases let them

"Appointment cancelled."
Imagine flying 20 hours to renew your visa. Then getting an email: "appointment cancelled." No refund on flights. No alternative locations. No answers. Just wait 6 months. That's H-1B life right now.

The city of Austin spent $1.1M of tax $ on this logo. Last week the city threatened us with legal action for creating a parody logo to highlight this waste. We're still using it & we have filed a free speech suit in state court. Time for an Audit? (See Statesman coverage)
