They can't work low skilled positions because they're too qualified but they also can't work high skilled positions because they're unqualified, so what are Americans supposed to do?

Or maybe what will actually happen is we're just going to go full on mid century because the Saxon learned to hate.

This is a large part of it. A big part of it is also defrauding parts of the tax code by putting out impossible hiring standards so they can show to the government that they're "growing", when the job never could be filled.
@@ASNS117Zero They also use the excuse they can't find local talent to cover that position to apply for H1B visas with lower than standard requirements, then you have to train someone underskilled who is getting underpaid under threats of being fired and deported who got in through that H1B.
My husband has seen this from both sides, as the interviewer and the person being interviewed. In the end, a lot of time it’s HR that writes the job descriptions, not the manager who’s looking for a new hire. When my husband was a manager, he’d complain a lot about how HR screens applicants b/c he was the kind of manager who cared more about an applicants ability to learn rather than solely experience. He said he’d be happier with a candidate who could learn something rather than the one who ticks boxes, but has no motivation to go beyond what they already know. He’d complain to HR a lot about sending him ‘no resumes’ even though he was hiring for a sought after position. He’d wonder how it was possible that nobody applied and then he’d talk to HR and they’d be like ‘nobody passed the initial screening’. He works in IT.
@@paxandlux This infuriates me. I work in IT and I lost my job in october. I'm a junior with 3 years of experience. I'd say one of my strengths is learning quickly and my seniors liked me a lot for it in my previous jobs. But right now, I can't even get an interview because all jobs are only hiring 5+ years of experience people. I'm getting filtered by automated systems who don't see the keywords they're looking for. It's true there's a lot of garbage applicants (I'm Canadian and the lying immigrant stereotype exists for a reason), but refusing to hire juniors because of it is simply insane. Even a senior will need to learn the precise tech stack of your company and with how the market is, people hiring juniors will get some loyalty for it. And if no one hires juniors, knowledge won't get passed down to the next generation...
same history here in south america. they say that there is a shortage of employment on people who have only highschool education or lower. but they dont tell you that they basically require you to have a university degree if you want to even be considered for an entry level job. then there is all the race/gender quotas they need to fill on the highest paying jobs (and you have nepotism, which basically makes it impossible for non-connected people to get in unless you are a quota holder) then they complain the youth are leaving the country so we need to import more people. they are malicious, not dumb

"Americans won't work the high-skill jobs. They also won't work the low-skill jobs. Clearly this is a problem with Americans, not with our hiring processes!" - Billionaire jeet
AI is coming for your job, but we need India for their tech workers. And we need Mexico for their laborers to build houses for all the foreigners that are coming. What? Every single aspect of America would improve immediately if they were all sent home. More homes, more jobs, more food, less strain on every part of infrastructure, prices would drop for everything, pay would rise, land would free up, less farmland would be needed, less production would be needed. In one simple move
keynesian economics is like running downhill, you need to run faster and faster otherwise you'll fall. Also the key metric they use is GDP, which does improve if you bring immigrants since it measures spending and not productivity; if they produce nothing at all and live on welfare the government is going to print money for that and it will be positive for the GDP anyway
As an American you can also apply the same to the U.K. they should be encouraging Brits not filling every hotel and castle with people who don't want to be British. Neither country needs India for the tech workers... America and the U.K. have plenty of tech workers who should be paid instead of importing lower quality workers for less. There are people who are not white who considers themselves to be American or British. Mexico is currently being exploited for their workers and I wonder if Trump this will put a dent in that.
My department was literally shut down for an all Indian vendor that my company hired.I haven't been able to get a job in 8 months and every recruiter I have spoken to for US in-person high skill jobs have *OPENED THE CONVERSATION* in hindi. I personally know five or six guys in the same situation and another guy who just graduated with a masters in EE last year - all have been unable to get any work in tech for over 8 months. Every where *IS* hiring, they're just not hiring White Males.
Layman question here - what obstacles prevent you and the other White guys you know are in the same situation from networking together and pooling your knowledge and resources to build your own rival companies to the ones excluding you? Aside from cost-of-living and the necessary start-up funds of course. Do you need administrators, legal advisors, etc.?
When Elon said to “think of America as if it were a sports team,” the disgust I felt.. I’ve used that as an example of how we got to where we are. Sports team are absolutely nothing but a name, logo, and colors. Everything else is completely interchangeable, including and especially the players, regardless of where they’re from. The Celtics roster probably doesn’t even have a single player from Boston in it. Sports teams are soulless in the truest sense of the word. And that is exactly how Elon perceives countries. There are no Americans. There is the American sports nation with its flag, colors, and logos. The people it’s currently comprised of are completely interchangeable to people like Musk. If everyone is just an American without their paperwork yet, then there are no Americans. If being American means having certain principles or ideologies, then real Americans that have been here for 200 years aren’t even American to him.
Being a "prepositional nation" sounds a lot like communism to me. I'd prefer one based on history and heritage with the ability to explore ideas without being declared unAmerican.
Does the economy exist to serve people or do people exist to serve the economy? Your answer to that question puts you on one side or another. Each side is mutually exclusive of the other and only one has the strength of numbers. Money doesn't trump numbers or Trump wouldn't have had the numbers. Those who believe otherwise are the enemies of We The People. Vivek and Musk can get on the program or get out... one way or another, they'll be out. Nobody buys their narrative anymore. Nobody is buying any narrative anymore. The West showed too much of its hand during the "Disease or Uknown Origin". America isn't its territory, it's its people. To go against its people is to label oneself Persona non Grata -- with extreme prejudice.
I've applied for hundreds of jobs in my area. Literally hundreds (not an exaggeration I've applied at Krogers, Walmart, Target, ect all the businesses in my area). Not one has hired me. I've had only a handful of job interviews and all of them except one ended well. You can't convince me Americans are "demotivated" while people like me are being sidelined for foreigners. It's not fair to my parents, to my grandparents or my ancestors who built this country.
What was the position you applied to? Have to also understand the rising phenomenon of fake job postings that is happening in the market. First of all, it allows the companies to shift through all the best candidates when they actually need employees months in the future. Second, it creates the impression of constant growth by constant hiring. Some job posting websites offer to post a job for free (Linked In) with absolutely nothing to lose from doing so.
@CuriousScholar13 yea man totally, being in a similar position watching the places you apply to hire and fire the ppl they hired over you makes me totally feel loke its my fault.
@@CuriousScholar13 I'd agree if it was only happening to me, but I personally know at least six or seven other young white men who are in the same boat. I'm assuming it has to do with companies using employment agencies to deal with hiring and how discrimination suit laws prevent the agencies from hiring someone ASAP or just hiring on simple merit. If you have the experience they're willing to look past the fact you're white but otherwise they want to avoid discrimination suits by prioritizing meeting racial quotas.
not only are they low skill, they mostly have a non-existent work ethic too. Every time I come to a jeet doing customer service, they do absolutely jack all but say what they think will make me go away without even trying to solve my problem.
The problem is that Elon is lying. People dug up h1b applications from Tesla and it showed quite clearly that Tesla is undercutting american salaries when recruiting for manufacturing engineers from India and other places. That's not allowed in our system. The salaries listed there even for an associate engineer are well below market rate. I know this because I'm a hiring manager for technicians and engineers at multiple manufacturing plants. I pay entry level techs (as in electricians and mechanics) a higher salary than what Elon is paying for Engineers from India. That's ridiculous. Elon is gaming the system. Tesla should be investigated for this.
Literally every company is doing it because (((beurocrats))) in banking and govt agencies only offer the best tax and loan rates to businesses that prioritize the hiring of s**tskins.
What did you honestly expect from musk and ramaswampy, if there was really an education problem and not a salary problem then these h1b workers would be making more not less than their american counterparts
@@notubist This is why a person like Trump (lion) should be in charge. He uses people like Elon for efficiency in government while protecting Americans.

Another thing Vivek and Elon are missing is that, the 'jocks" did not only become dumb brutes, they become the Warrirors and Fighters, but also the Blue Collar Workers, the Engineers, and the Mechanics... Trying to create a culture that shuns the normal, hard working boots on the ground type sounds an awful lot like the 'Learn to Code" reborn...
It's tech CEOs, not "tech bros", who want this. Regular tech workers understand these workers are not Oppenheimer and Einstein, they are random database admins that are barely competent at best and they will work 80 hours a week for substandard pay.

Zero knowledge, not just bad.

Meanwhile, he spends the whole day tweeting. The guy probably does do any work at all at this point besides lobbying the government to prevent restrictions on China. The only work he does do is tell his indentured serfs to work harder. As soon as they get out of the working society tend to turn into cartoon caricature capitalist tyrants.
Elon orders test tube babies and abandons their mothers and the children themselves within a few years. He has done this enough times to warrant an invalidation of his moral character.
These people tell us we need these workers due to low births and applications from natives while simultaneously telling us they will be replaced in 5 to 10 years with robots.
> The fundamental limiting factor in Silicon Valley is the shortage of excellent engineering talent. 7:32 "Elon's looking for a very narrow constituent that makes up a small number of people in the entire world" Elon's talking about H-1B visas (importing wage slaves) for patent mills and software mills so he can run them like sweatshops and drive down wages with foreign labor, which Americans won't accept, and conflating it with O-1A visas (exceptional talent) for the top 0.000001% of engineering talent, and Sargon falls for that bait and switch.
"America cannot survive on C-average Americans." Vivek Ramaswamy If Vivek is truly concerned about the economic and technological advancement of the Chinese, the US and EU could simply prevent our tech experts from going there and imposing travel restrictions to China. China seems to be a stagnant economy reliant on foreign expertise for any advancement at all because their actual population is stuck working 70-hour work weeks. Never being able to accrue any capital to start up their own enterprise even if the government were to allow it. Plus, the number of _potential_ people for jobs can easily be unattainable if you look at the criteria needed to fulfill a job. It is also revealing that the people advocating for more specialist work visas are the people in a prime position to open institutions to allow people domestically to work towards accreditation to fill those roles. They don't even need to make money if these specialists are so necessary that operating a trade school at a loss to ensure your own future employees seems like a huge net-gain in terms of access to human capital. This exact thing resulting in Elon Musk calling the potential workforce he could have "useless" for taking advantage of at the mere suggestion.
We were all intentionally made stupid in school though like so many people had so many talents and potential and I literally watched it get drained out of them over 12 years
Very well said. What's the point of America wining if it's not even American anymore? Better to be poor and live in high trust, peaceful homogenous nation than live in rich, crime ridden and diverse nation.
Also those pilots needed the math skills because computers are not what they became in the 1980s. They still haven't figured out flying cars... Drones though are a another problem that could end up putting us the path to skynet.
The US "C-student" that he dismisses is likely also much more educated, competent and productive than the rubber-stamped "A+" people churned out of an Indian diploma mill.
We figured out flying cars, they are called planes and helicopters. Issue is that flying gets the government in a tizzy, so the price has been forced up to an absurd degree.
The problem really lies with the tech companies. Elon thinks that they want *the best* talent. That's false. They want *the cheapest* talent. Companies in my fields of expertise, cybersecurity and network security, are always whining and complaining publicly that they can't fill enough positions. It's not because there's a lack of people who want to work these jobs, it's because absolutely nobody is hiring entry level positions with reasonable requirements, and nobody wants to train you on anything. Every job posting has ridiculous requirements in VERY specialized software and/or hardware. They don't want to teach you a damn thing. They want you to hit the ground running, and do so for low pay. That's why so many companies farm H1Bs. They want indentured servants, not American workers.

The valediction of my high school was also the star football player. Most of the jocks were in honors and AP classes. The idea that jocks are dumb meatheads is outdated and wrong, and this was in the early 2000s.
Correct, they are disproportionately high IQ and positive high positive personality traits. As ever the stereotypes are a sort of covered confession via projection by the sort of people who end up in media jobs, namely leftists and a group highly entrenched within the wider elite.
Mid 90’s my Senior class Valedictorian, as well as 2nd and 3rd ranked students were all varsity multiple sports athletes and all three were starters on our football team. Valedictorian went to Stanford on a full academic scholarship and started on their football team all four years. Then went on to get a graduate degree on a fellowship in China, and founded several tech businesses. Both the second and third ranked went on to earn PhDs one to become a doctor at Duke where he started on their football team. The other went to West Point, played multiple sports, qualified for the Olympic wrestling team, served as an officer in Iraq and Afghanistan, then went on to earn a PhD at Harvard and is now a tenured professor there. All white “jocks” from one HS class in one year from a small town in South Carolina. Their kids are just as smart of not smarter, just as engaged, just as athletic, just as motivated, just as well raised. Yet, they’ll never have the same opportunities or even get into the same schools their parents did, Becker they’re not the “right color” or from the “right countries”. It’s disgusting.
Jocks I find later in life were the real smart ones and the spiteful dorks who deny that are only "smart" insofar as they can memorize useless information.
America once venerated the intelligent, but not as the "Nerd", but as the Greeks sought, the Olympian, the Astronaut was the ideal American Hero of the space age, joining the ranks of cowboys, pioneers, minutemen, settlers. The ideal was someone who was a scientist, and a physical specimen of envy. Warriors who were intellects, has been a thing of honor since the Assyrians, to be merely a brute or merely a feeble scholar has never been honored by worthwhile cultures. America has progressively had people that wanted to shun the "Olympian", and instead chose to throw barriers in between those with promise, and those who have shown little promise have been given great aid. Rather than playing to strengths, we've scorned strength from the system level, not the cultural level, we've always loved success, we've loved our olympians. It's not that Americans lack the will, it's not that Americans have the wrong culture, it's not that Americans can't cut it, it's that the Americans with promise are told to take up massive debt while any aid is yoinked away, while we take those who are worse, be they foreign or domestic but of the right demographic, our education system has been set up to make people who are effectively illiterate. Instead of recognizing the system has actively worked against the native, and created barriers and sabotaged development, they want to merely discard us as broken, for cheaper, lower quality foreign products.
Fantastic comment. This is the spirit of the age, and ironically, it's tragic. To take this further, we can say that America has traded Greece for Rome; Achilles for Crassus.
“The society that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting done by fools” The notion that men of strength are intellectually stunted is ridiculous. This is just cope from intelligent men who lack courage and moral strength.
Elon's 'clarification' about only wanting the top 0.01% was extremely disingenuous. THAT subset is covered by the O-1 Visa, as a CEO of 4 tech companies he absolutely knows this, and for 2 days the entire conversation was about H1B Visas.
Seems he wants to expedite that process, but I dont doubt that his scope is larger and more generally motivated by importing people whom America can work harder and pay less; the illegal immigrant argument.
Have work with Jeets Jeets can barely program Jeets have negative communication skills Jeets have a bias to hire their own Jeets are hired cause they are cheap and desperate Your boomer MBA manager and activist HR just want to save cost at the cost of skill cause they don't know the difference between a highly skilled vs low skill knowledge worker.
Can confirm. I flipped my dung at my manager the other month when we started to outsource tasks to India. After a week I said it wasn’t working. The deliverables they gave us were subpar and needed multiple amends even with me hand holding them. We don’t use them anymore.
You can add: Cannot admit they don’t know how to do something and, instead, will come up with a non-sensical solution Cannot accept even the slightest hint of criticism Will shamelessly assign blame to others for their failings (especially non-jeets). Will cover up the mistakes of other jeets when non-jeets are involved.
How is it that one of the "Smartest men in the world" was genuinely surprised by the fact that a movement based on protecting American culture from immigration... wants to protect American culture from immigration? For a "genius", Elon sure is stupid sometimes.
Elon is a diagnosed autistic and an H1B immigrant himself. In only a few short days, he has shown that he has not assimilated and he holds making money, not his country of citizenship, in higher regard than anything else. His lack of social awareness has caused him to meltdown and double down on his terrible position. He cannot "read the room". It has no excuse at this point. He didn't stay and fight in South Africa so he isn't a patriot, and he wants to import more H1Bs to keep wages low. He wants globalism, internationalism, and has no apparent sympathy to White Americans who have been getting crushed under these policies for the past thirty years. He has an opportunity to walk back his remarks, but I have a feeling he won't. MAGA Patriots are savaging him and that foul snake Vivek (who has shown his loyalty is only to India, not America). MAGA needs to continue, and shed both Elon, and Vivek if they do not bend the knee and apologize. MAGA is about putting Americans first, no one else.
@@JohnDoe-pt7ru then its even more nonsensical, maga has pushed for little to no immigration since its inception so why back them if he's supportive of immigration (even if it's h1b)?

Have you gotten concrete feedback from interviews? In the past I've found you can if you ask strongly enough. There is clearly gonna be tons of hiring in that area, so I strongly encourage you study/practice/learn hard, like a few focused hours each day, more if you can (depending on age/family/employment situation), and make sure you can demonstrate a high level of skill. I'm 100% opposed to Elon and the tech bros on this, but I don't things have gotten nearly to the point where it's hopeless for someone with the right skills.
@@yiani31 Semiconductor engineers are an incredible rarity, you need to understand that these people are more akin to surgeons than they are a typical office worker, interviews are typically merely a formality in the hiring process for them. The only time an issue may come about is if they need to qualify for a security clearance. If it is not for being ineligible for a clearance, the reasons for foregoing a hire in that area are likely due to some form of impropriety.
These are desperate times. I'm a Technician at a recycling plant. Literally work in trash and squallor. HOWEVER I make 90k/year (in an area where the average income is 35k) and got certified on like 5 different types of heavy equipment, learned FCAW welding, intermediate troubleshooting of industrial electronics and mechanical systems, etc. My job is going NOWHERE. Other than my boss I'm the single most valuable employee in my plant lol. If tech won't take you I and tradesman like me will gladly take you and pay you well for showing up and keeping up.
@@BrosanXIII Computer engineers likely won't be interested in trade jobs, that isn't what they studied for, the issue is where the jobs they have studied and trained for are being provisioned. Your job is only secure because not even Indians from a country with an average IQ that is sub 90 are also unwilling to perform your work. If they were, you too would be gainfully unemployed. I get you are trying to be nice, and encourage people to better themselves, but people who spent years dedicated to their field and training in it, learning everything they can all the while they are being told that they are needed; are suddenly told that they are inadequate for the job. Naturally, they'd have a bitter taste in their mouth. Imagine knowing everything you do about your line of work, and one day your boss walks up to you and says; "sorry buddy we need someone more adept at this role, we're going to have to let you go", as he completes this statement you see your brownskinned replacement walk by and mocks you for your supposed incompetence. I am pretty sure if this scenario transpired, and all of your skills were suddenly declared to be superfluous and trivial after having spent so much time to acquire them. I'd imagine you'd be demoralized as well.
@@RenascencePerennial Are you saying there are very few of these jobs and if Caleb isn't "in" already he should give up? I'm not plugged in, but Musk basically said "the U.S. semiconductor industry alone needs over 320,000 engineers by 2032"
I used to think kindly toward people regardless of who they were or where they came from, but life experience has taught me to be way more skeptical. Most nations believe that it is fine to lie, cheat and bribe your way through existence. Until recently my country, mostly taught its children that this is an abhorrent way to conduct oneself. As time has gone on this mindset seems to have been caste aside in favoure of rampant consumerism and downright dishonesty. My husband was approached at the university he attended by a wealthy Indian student who suggested that he could organise for someone to do my husband's assignemnts, just as he did, for a fee.... I also refuse to do business with people who bare face lie to you in order to gain a contract, as has happened to me multiple times..... I no longer will subject myself to "doctors" from these countries as there is no guarantee that they actually did their training. I'm sorry if you find this offensive but this has been my actual experience AND THIS IS WHAT CHANGED MY THINKING. Cultural perspectives inform ones behaviour and some don't mesh well. That does not in essence make them bad, just different and sometimes best done separately.
lol this is really true and something people need to acknowledge. obviously there's corruption and liars in the US too but the extent I witnessed lies, bribery, and counterfeit shit in Asia is on a whole other level. many Americans are very naive and seem to think other cultures are as honest as ours, I think this is why the world has taken advantage of us and our stupid naive business people/politicians and now we are in the place where we are. now, America has TONS of corruption on the higher levels and they think they hide it well... but the constant corruption, facing scams, people in stores outright lying to me, etc I faced in many Asian countries was exhausting. just day-to-day schemes, lies, and corruption at your local stores haha. I think it stems from the EXTREME competition people face in India or South Korea or whatever... I mean anyone who was an ESL teacher in Asia can tell you the amount of English textbooks that apparently "Harvard" or "Yale" created or approved that were riddled with English mistakes. hahaha. I have fond memories of telling my Korean students "these books are not really approved by Harvard. look at all these mistakes. kids... who do you trust more with English, me or these books?" then I threw them on the ground and they laughed hahahaha.

There’s no shortage of engineers in America. There’s a shortage of tech slaves that Elon wants to work 100 hour weeks for $150K/year. To find those slaves, he needs immigrants from India and China.
I'd work for $150,000 a year, but not a second longer than 40 hours per week, and much of that time will be soent procrastinating. Much less of that time would have been spent procrastinating 5 years ago when $150,000 bought twice as much, now it's realistically not substantially much better than my true value adjusted starting salary. If I'm not going to be paid in true value terms substantially more than I was paid when I started out despite several years more experience and specialist knowledge under my belt, I don't see why I should bother trying to do more per week than I did when I started. If they want me to do more, I demand a wage increase exceeding inflation, barely or not even keeping pace with inflation means I'm just not going to put in the work and they're just going to have to deal with it.

What is the point of Italy if there are no ethnic Italians? Would anyone seriously argue that a language space alone is enough to justify a political entity? Surely there must be more to it than just Indians and Bantus speaking English within the political entity called England while having line go up...
Consider the ideals of the globalist elite: national boundaries are an inconvenient leftover of a bygone era, the future is a politically unified humanity in a single global market. The differences created by language and geographic distribution need to be smoothed out to achieve this goal, complaints against this are just negging from narrow minded luddites and racist.

Elon is starting from a utopian view of the tech world. "Permanent shortage" means he thinks there should be an infinite amount of said talent. All resources have limits. Deal with it, tech bros. The rest of us don't exist to fulfill your dystopian cyberpunk fantasies.
We don't live in a zero sum world. Infinite growth is achievable. Assuming they assimilate, there is no problem importing labor to catalyze the industries that improve are lives.
@@NA.NA.. Yes, we do live in a zero sum world. There are only so many people on the planet. There is only so much time in a day. New things can be made, but they require an investment of time, energy and manpower, all of which are limited. Elon thinks he's entitled to all of it now and forever, in perpetuity, exponentially increasing, with no negotiation with the other human beings that fill the world around him and uphold the rest of society. That's utopian. Also, they don't assimilate, and they don't improve *our* lives.

Thank you. I'm glad there are others willing to acknowledge this. Its time to reckon that if we are gonna gonna advocate for our self interest. Meaning our immediate domestic populations. Its not always going to align even to those having similar persuasions. Because there are differences to what they want. Which isn't always what we want. Its time to get to brass tax here if we want our civilization to be inherited and maintained by OUR populations and not foreigners that are taking advantage of the door being opened by our globalist political elites.
My concern with doge is that instead of actually downsizing the government bureaucracy, elon just creates more government contracts to outsource bureaucratic work to private companies. So instead of actually reducing government spending, he just made govenrment spending go into the hands of unaccountable private entities that don’t have the same disclosure laws as govenrment institutions. It may be a bait and switch. I never have trusted elon, as his fortune has been entirely dependent on govenrment subsidy, whether it be for electric cars or space exploration
If it's being done by a private firm INSTEAD of a government agency, that would save money in most cases. NASA's shuttle program vs. SpaceX is a good example. Outsourcing wouldn't mean the government bureaucracy would still keep functioning at its current size in ADDITION to a private contractor doing the same thing, that makes zero sense. Outsourcing means the original producer of the good or service in question gets *replaced,* not *added to.*
@@freespeechenjoyerthere are trade offs to privatization beyond just the financial aspect. The biggest downside is the lack of direct government accountability for outsourced work. Think about the difference between hiring a publicly funded army vs an entirely mercenary army from private contractors. A mercenary just cares about a paycheck, not defending a country. Private companies don’t need to be as transparent as the government, as foia would not apply for a private entity. Not are private companies necessarily required to care about the public interest. It’s the same logic as hiring an Indian worker for 30% less with no additional support vs hiring an American/British worker a market rate wage with investment in career development
@@freespeechenjoyer That assumes there's a lack of corruption. (Fun fact: Local construction companies demonstrate that there's plenty of corruption) When powerful people give the contracts to people with kickbacks, and motivation to be ineffective. The job ends up done over years instead of months, and faces the risk of needing to be redone (Possibly by the same people) as I saw in my high school.

I have a few degrees in engineering, and let me tell you, there isn't a western "shortage" of engineers, it's purely a pay/training problem that companies don't want to front the costs for. I never went into the industry after I got my second degree because I was faced with the prospect of "get a £15,000 uni degree and then after that, be forced to take a 40h/week 4 year contract for £23,000/year" or just work in a supermarket and make £25,000/year and be provided free food on top of that. If companies weren't offering engineers terrible pay for awful work they would find that there are literally THOUSANDS of them doing nothing right now. Engineers are problem solvers by nature. If they aren't taking the bait, it's because we are literally trained to min/max and to be able to spot a good deal when we see one... My personal experience was that I either take the typical path of earning at a net negative for the first 6-7 years (very typical in the field these days) or I take an RAF sponsorship which required being locked into a 5-10 year contract that didn't prohibit active service... all that for £26k/year.

I think the confusion over this issue is that men like Musk and Ramaswamy assume that what's good for their business is automatically good for America. It's not. If there's a Venn diagram of those two things, they may overlap. They may even overlap to a large degree. But they don't completely match up and this is one of the most important areas.

@Ambander-p3x We gotta be realistic. Its gonna take several generations to fix our cultural messes. And as much as we must resist globalism, Japan is a great example of an empire that opened its borders.

28:40 _He still doesn’t get it._ The true goal of these people isn’t societal _change,_ it’s societal _upheaval._ Okay, here’s an example that should suit you; you know those Christmas villages that you once saw in the shopfronts of major stores, with all the elaborate wooden buildings and people, and even a little train going round and round? Now, imagine someone gets a bug up their bum about how this innocent little thing meant for children is _actually_ enforcing systemic heteronormative standards, and takes it upon themselves to go in and flip the entire thing over, before declaring it a victory for the oppressed classes. _That’s_ the kind of mentality we’re dealing with here-the kind that sees destruction as the only path to redemption.
In my family, Christmas is a 20-person affair. Uncles, Aunts, and all their children, and recently a few grandkids as well, get together at my grandmother's house every 2 years.

Just apply to hundreds of exclusive internships, work a full time job to fight off the college debt, apply to work full time lower level entry positions in your field, take 15 - 20 credit hours with project work, and try to find a partner and live on your own likely for the first time. All while you are entering the adult world and becoming about the lowest status age you'll be on your life.

One of the biggest things Elon Musk appears to be missing is how the U.S. Healthcare System factors into this. It's no secret anymore that if you want Healthcare in the U.S., you either need to be blindingly rich, or bafflingly poor. Obviously, if you're rich you can afford the best Healthcare no problem, but if you're poor, the government feels sorry for you and bends over backwards to provide you free Healthcare, because they can't exactly make you PAY for it... But if you're in the middle class, you are just absolutely downright FUCKED because you're not privileged enough for them to offer you good deals and you're not sad enough for them to give you anything for free. You're a sucker, and they're going to squeeze you for everything they can get. So the middle class is looking at their poor neighbors who slack off and do nothing and get FREE HEALTHCARE and it's no fucking wonder the Working Class doesn't wanna WORK anymore. They're being ACTIVELY PUNISHED for trying to participate in society and make a living. Meanwhile, people who give up and leech on the system are rewarded with free stuff. Americans ARE Lazy, Elon. The problem you fail to realize is that the Healthcare system ENCOURAGES that, and people like you who COULD do something about it are doing FUCKING NOTHING so FUCK OFF.
I swear, one of these hacks had to be keeping this term "woke right" in their back pocket in the event they lost. I have never heard anything so ridiculous.
They try anything to find weaknesses they can wiggle their way through. Like that attempt to get us to accept communist manifest by changing a few words. But those tactics doesn’t work because we’re not a cult.
The Renaissance-man is what we should aspire to produce. People who value both physical and mental excellence. The weak nerds are not the best leaders/role-models no matter how smart they are if they're feeble weak men who thinks that they have the right to force others to do their dirty work. I really hope that Vivek isn't going to plant himself on this hill though.
A complete missunderstanding of other important skills athletes have too. Skills that go beyond physical. Team-work, leadership, discipline, strategic thinking, etc. Sports are so good for human development. That was the stupidest thing Vivek has ever said, but not surprised, coming from a tech bro. They're all arrogant and think only tech matters.
Anyone who has been out for job interviews in the past 5 years knows that there is no labour shortage. And they also know that the 'skill shortage' is actually an 'unwillingness to create skill' issue with companies. It is really ridiculous. I've seen tech companies care more about one's ability to make a presentation than their programming talent and experience.
Exactly! I've known many talented people who have been close to a year, trying to find work, once laid off. The idea that there is a worker shortage is a joke.
They got rid of honors classes and gifted student programs here over the last 5 years. Went all the way to the supreme court. Wonder why there's a lack of local homegrown talent. It's by design
From my experience, the good looking jocks at school were always perfectly pleasant and whenever they hurt someone it was by accident. It was the nerds and the alternative kids (me included lol) who were kind of bitter and twisted at times and who would do each other vindictive harm. And the actual bullies weren't usually jocks. They were troubled kids from violent families. The thing is that all the TV and movie writers were nerds in school, jealous of the jocks and so when they grew up they made jocks villains in their screenplays as a sort of revenge fantasy.
The valediction of my high school was also the star football player. Most of the jocks were in honors and AP classes. The idea that jocks are dumb meatheads is outdated and wrong, and this was in the early 2000s.
Always accurate. You should judge a book by the cover because its most of the time accurate. Its always the alternative (SMELLY) kids that are the savages and they make no effort to hide the ugliness inside.
100%. I had a foot in both worlds in school - I was an absolute nerd and computer geek, but I worked out in the school gym and took all the physical education courses because my family knew the guy in charge of the PE department. Can confirm, this was overwhelmingly the case. The bullies and the sports kids almost never overlapped. There were *some* exceptions, but they could be counted on one hand. The bullies almost always came out of families with some sort of bad home life, and were basically just acting out because of the abuse they were suffering.
Close to 440,000 students graduate from stem fields every year in America. If companies can't get those engineers trained up to their standards thats a problem. Theres no such thing as "skilled foreigners". Foreigners are not biologically inclined to be more skilled then any other human. The cost to take a regular foreigner and make them skilled is cheaper over time than it is to do the same with an American. Its about time our policy be updated to make foreign workers exponentially more expensive than domestic ones. Our tax dollars subsidize foreign workers.
I make 120k working with oracle ERP materials data in the biotech industry. I 100% guarantee you if these guys get there way my wages will plummet due to competition from indian folks who will do the same work for half the value, live 8 to an apartment and ship all the money back home to india.
Funny cuz this is the first time most Americans have heard there's an engineer shortage. Never tell them it's a problem, blame them for the problem. But one thing's for sure, I don't want temporary people making permanent decisions that all Americans have to live with forever just because of 'x problem we just found about'

I work in workforce development... where I work in the structures and with funding determined by the state and federal government in the US. there are MANY people who approach me that want to up their skills... but the limitations are harsh and discouraging for many who just can't pull it off due to low income and other barriers. people that I know would be hard working and contribute well to the US society, and are citizens right here. there are MANY Americans that want to better themselves and learn more for their future and their family and their nation... but the sad fact is our education and skill training is out of cost for a lot of people (WHY is it so expensive compared to other nations??? education of our populace should be number one priority). then you see the discouragement reflecting in people... men who once had dreams end up turning to drugs or video games because there REALLY is more doors closing in their faces than before. it's a doom spiral down the toilet. we NEED to address our EDUCATION and university/skill training here. we NEED to expand aprenticeships and I would argue there needs to be a huge project to improve our infrastructure similar to what America did in the 1930s under FDR. it would add jobs, train many with real experience, and improve our infrastructure that has been crumbling to dangerous levels (be careful driving on bridges people) for 30 years now. unfortunately we know our government doesn't function as well as those times, and are not be trusted as much... so I highly doubt a national program like what FDR did would run well. maybe Trump can cut some corruption and fix this who knows...

@@Nylon_riot you may be right. but I would argue with the huge investment in infrastructure (building highways, bridges, etc to help trucking and transport) and jobs to build it all as a response to the Great Depression primed our economy to get roaring for the war effort of the time. perhaps it was a combination of the two, with the WW2 economy being what pulled us up the most. regardless... I hope we avoid a huge war as well. although day by day I'm wondering if it really will take something huge to fix our vast web of issues that almost seems insurmountable at times here. whether this really is another Great Depression or what who knows...

Ironically (although I don't know that it's like this now), I had my best opportunities in China, 2011-2016. I was able to build my resume in a way that I wouldn't have back home. Many Westerners started off as ESL teachers, then were able to pivot into better roles, where they were able to develop better skills. Of course there are next to no permanent residency visas being awarded to foreigners, nor citizenship (not that I'd want it), but opportunities for Westerners are better found (ironically) in Asia. Dubai is another place. It's crazy that Westerners are needing to leave their homelands to pursue options elsewhere, yet here we are.
Legally, there are no tech jobs exclusively for foreigners. However, if the job requirements are intentionally impossible (ala many "entry level" listings), then they are permitted to search internationally (with more lax requirements and credentials).
while I was attending university for a CS degree I noticed that any time there was an Indian or Chinese professor all of their TAs and lab assistance would be Indian and Chinese respectively. While the white professors would tend to be more balanced and "diverse". The reason why the tech space is become less American is because of nepotism.

My husband has seen this from both sides, as the interviewer and the person being interviewed.
In the end, a lot of time it’s HR that writes the job descriptions, not the manager who’s looking for a new hire. When my husband was a manager, he’d complain a lot about how HR screens applicants b/c he was the kind of manager who cared more about an applicants ability to learn rather than solely experience. He said he’d be happier with a candidate who could learn something rather than the one who ticks boxes, but has no motivation to go beyond what they already know. He’d complain to HR a lot about sending him ‘no resumes’ even though he was hiring for a sought after position. He’d wonder how it was possible that nobody applied and then he’d talk to HR and they’d be like ‘nobody passed the initial screening’. He works in IT.
@@paxandlux This infuriates me. I work in IT and I lost my job in october. I'm a junior with 3 years of experience.

It's true there's a lot of garbage applicants (I'm Canadian and the lying immigrant stereotype exists for a reason), but refusing to hire juniors because of it is simply insane. Even a senior will need to learn the precise tech stack of your company and with how the market is, people hiring juniors will get some loyalty for it.

Printing citizenship is like printing money. It debases the original holders assets and detrimentally affects the less well off - those who appreciated those assets the most. Those pushing such policies know that they can hedge against the downsides and benefit themselves at everyone else's cost.

I've worked places were the engineers were outsourced to Mexico too. Remote work is a doozy for this kind of conversation
keynesian economics is like running downhill, you need to run faster and faster otherwise you'll fall. Also the key metric they use is GDP, which does improve if you bring immigrants since it measures spending and not productivity; if they produce nothing at all and live on welfare the government is going to print money for that and it will be positive for the GDP anyway
So simple, everything is so easy! Everyone else is so dumb!
As an American you can also apply the same to the U.K. they should be encouraging Brits not filling every hotel and castle with people who don't want to be British.
Neither country needs India for the tech workers... America and the U.K. have plenty of tech workers who should be paid instead of importing lower quality workers for less. There are people who are not white who considers themselves to be American or British. Mexico is currently being exploited for their workers and I wonder if Trump this will put a dent in that.

When Elon said to “think of America as if it were a sports team,” the disgust I felt.. I’ve used that as an example of how we got to where we are. Sports team are absolutely nothing but a name, logo, and colors. Everything else is completely interchangeable, including and especially the players, regardless of where they’re from. The Celtics roster probably doesn’t even have a single player from Boston in it. Sports teams are soulless in the truest sense of the word.
And that is exactly how Elon perceives countries. There are no Americans. There is the American sports nation with its flag, colors, and logos. The people it’s currently comprised of are completely interchangeable to people like Musk. If everyone is just an American without their paperwork yet, then there are no Americans. If being American means having certain principles or ideologies, then real Americans that have been here for 200 years aren’t even American to him.
Even the owner, coach, location, and fan base is replaceable.
Being a "prepositional nation" sounds a lot like communism to me. I'd prefer one based on history and heritage with the ability to explore ideas without being declared unAmerican.
Excellently stated.
Does the economy exist to serve people or do people exist to serve the economy? Your answer to that question puts you on one side or another. Each side is mutually exclusive of the other and only one has the strength of numbers.

I've applied for hundreds of jobs in my area. Literally hundreds (not an exaggeration I've applied at Krogers, Walmart, Target, ect all the businesses in my area). Not one has hired me. I've had only a handful of job interviews and all of them except one ended well. You can't convince me Americans are "demotivated" while people like me are being sidelined for foreigners. It's not fair to my parents, to my grandparents or my ancestors who built this country.
Seems the issue is you. Almost everywhere you applied has hired other people since you applied.
What was the position you applied to?
Have to also understand the rising phenomenon of fake job postings that is happening in the market.
First of all, it allows the companies to shift through all the best candidates when they actually need employees months in the future.
Second, it creates the impression of constant growth by constant hiring. Some job posting websites offer to post a job for free (Linked In) with absolutely nothing to lose from doing so.
If they dont do paper apps they most likely are not hiring a white american.
@CuriousScholar13 yea man totally, being in a similar position watching the places you apply to hire and fire the ppl they hired over you makes me totally feel loke its my fault.
@@CuriousScholar13 I'd agree if it was only happening to me, but I personally know at least six or seven other young white men who are in the same boat. I'm assuming it has to do with companies using employment agencies to deal with hiring and how discrimination suit laws prevent the agencies from hiring someone ASAP or just hiring on simple merit.
If you have the experience they're willing to look past the fact you're white but otherwise they want to avoid discrimination suits by prioritizing meeting racial quotas.

The problem is that Elon is lying. People dug up h1b applications from Tesla and it showed quite clearly that Tesla is undercutting american salaries when recruiting for manufacturing engineers from India and other places. That's not allowed in our system. The salaries listed there even for an associate engineer are well below market rate. I know this because I'm a hiring manager for technicians and engineers at multiple manufacturing plants. I pay entry level techs (as in electricians and mechanics) a higher salary than what Elon is paying for Engineers from India. That's ridiculous. Elon is gaming the system. Tesla should be investigated for this.
Literally every company is doing it because (((beurocrats))) in banking and govt agencies only offer the best tax and loan rates to businesses that prioritize the hiring of s**tskins.

Elon wants American engineers to work 60-80 hours per week, then he wonders why no one is having children.
Meanwhile, he spends the whole day tweeting. The guy probably does do any work at all at this point besides lobbying the government to prevent restrictions on China. The only work he does do is tell his indentured serfs to work harder.

Slight correction.
Elon wants American engineers to work 80 hour weeks for 40 hour pay.
Yep work 80 hours a week on low pay justified by youre miniscule shares you collect the longer you work

Yes. This is exactly it.
Great point needs to make it into the zeitgeist
"America cannot survive on C-average Americans." Vivek Ramaswamy
If Vivek is truly concerned about the economic and technological advancement of the Chinese, the US and EU could simply prevent our tech experts from going there and imposing travel restrictions to China. China seems to be a stagnant economy reliant on foreign expertise for any advancement at all because their actual population is stuck working 70-hour work weeks. Never being able to accrue any capital to start up their own enterprise even if the government were to allow it.
Plus, the number of _potential_ people for jobs can easily be unattainable if you look at the criteria needed to fulfill a job. It is also revealing that the people advocating for more specialist work visas are the people in a prime position to open institutions to allow people domestically to work towards accreditation to fill those roles. They don't even need to make money if these specialists are so necessary that operating a trade school at a loss to ensure your own future employees seems like a huge net-gain in terms of access to human capital. This exact thing resulting in Elon Musk calling the potential workforce he could have "useless" for taking advantage of at the mere suggestion.

We've been venerating the popular set for decades. Our astronauts were military test pilots with PHDs. Vivek's projections are off the charts.
Also those pilots needed the math skills because computers are not what they became in the 1980s. They still haven't figured out flying cars... Drones though are a another problem that could end up putting us the path to skynet.
The US "C-student" that he dismisses is likely also much more educated, competent and productive than the rubber-stamped "A+" people churned out of an Indian diploma mill.
We figured out flying cars, they are called planes and helicopters. Issue is that flying gets the government in a tizzy, so the price has been forced up to an absurd degree.
The problem really lies with the tech companies. Elon thinks that they want *the best* talent. That's false. They want *the cheapest* talent. Companies in my fields of expertise, cybersecurity and network security, are always whining and complaining publicly that they can't fill enough positions. It's not because there's a lack of people who want to work these jobs, it's because absolutely nobody is hiring entry level positions with reasonable requirements, and nobody wants to train you on anything.
Every job posting has ridiculous requirements in VERY specialized software and/or hardware. They don't want to teach you a damn thing. They want you to hit the ground running, and do so for low pay.
That's why so many companies farm H1Bs. They want indentured servants, not American workers.

The valediction of my high school was also the star football player. Most of the jocks were in honors and AP classes. The idea that jocks are dumb meatheads is outdated and wrong, and this was in the early 2000s.

Mid 90’s my Senior class Valedictorian, as well as 2nd and 3rd ranked students were all varsity multiple sports athletes and all three were starters on our football team.
Valedictorian went to Stanford on a full academic scholarship and started on their football team all four years. Then went on to get a graduate degree on a fellowship in China, and founded several tech businesses.
Both the second and third ranked went on to earn PhDs one to become a doctor at Duke where he started on their football team.
The other went to West Point, played multiple sports, qualified for the Olympic wrestling team, served as an officer in Iraq and Afghanistan, then went on to earn a PhD at Harvard and is now a tenured professor there.
All white “jocks” from one HS class in one year from a small town in South Carolina.
Their kids are just as smart of not smarter, just as engaged, just as athletic, just as motivated, just as well raised.
Yet, they’ll never have the same opportunities or even get into the same schools their parents did, Becker they’re not the “right color” or from the “right countries”.

America once venerated the intelligent, but not as the "Nerd", but as the Greeks sought, the Olympian, the Astronaut was the ideal American Hero of the space age, joining the ranks of cowboys, pioneers, minutemen, settlers.
The ideal was someone who was a scientist, and a physical specimen of envy.
Warriors who were intellects, has been a thing of honor since the Assyrians, to be merely a brute or merely a feeble scholar has never been honored by worthwhile cultures.
America has progressively had people that wanted to shun the "Olympian", and instead chose to throw barriers in between those with promise, and those who have shown little promise have been given great aid. Rather than playing to strengths, we've scorned strength from the system level, not the cultural level, we've always loved success, we've loved our olympians.
It's not that Americans lack the will, it's not that Americans have the wrong culture, it's not that Americans can't cut it, it's that the Americans with promise are told to take up massive debt while any aid is yoinked away, while we take those who are worse, be they foreign or domestic but of the right demographic, our education system has been set up to make people who are effectively illiterate.
Instead of recognizing the system has actively worked against the native, and created barriers and sabotaged development, they want to merely discard us as broken, for cheaper, lower quality foreign products.
This! Jock vs nerd is a fake dynamic living solely through motif/meme
Fantastic comment. This is the spirit of the age, and ironically, it's tragic.
To take this further, we can say that America has traded Greece for Rome; Achilles for Crassus.
“The society that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting done by fools”
The notion that men of strength are intellectually stunted is ridiculous. This is just cope from intelligent men who lack courage and moral strength.

You miss the point... This was ALWAYS their intent, right down to hobbling us.
Elon's 'clarification' about only wanting the top 0.01% was extremely disingenuous. THAT subset is covered by the O-1 Visa, as a CEO of 4 tech companies he absolutely knows this, and for 2 days the entire conversation was about H1B Visas.
Seems he wants to expedite that process, but I dont doubt that his scope is larger and more generally motivated by importing people whom America can work harder and pay less; the illegal immigrant argument.
And those people, if Elon is running an honest company, make 300k to 500k a year. We aren't talking about those people

How is it that one of the "Smartest men in the world" was genuinely surprised by the fact that a movement based on protecting American culture from immigration... wants to protect American culture from immigration? For a "genius", Elon sure is stupid sometimes.
He's book smart. Not smart street.
His take is communist, so unequivocally f this guy. Never listening to another thing he says, this is a total deal breaker.
Elon is a diagnosed autistic and an H1B immigrant himself. In only a few short days, he has shown that he has not assimilated and he holds making money, not his country of citizenship, in higher regard than anything else. His lack of social awareness has caused him to meltdown and double down on his terrible position. He cannot "read the room". It has no excuse at this point.
He didn't stay and fight in South Africa so he isn't a patriot, and he wants to import more H1Bs to keep wages low. He wants globalism, internationalism, and has no apparent sympathy to White Americans who have been getting crushed under these policies for the past thirty years.
He has an opportunity to walk back his remarks, but I have a feeling he won't. MAGA Patriots are savaging him and that foul snake Vivek (who has shown his loyalty is only to India, not America).

Have you gotten concrete feedback from interviews? In the past I've found you can if you ask strongly enough.

@@yiani31 Semiconductor engineers are an incredible rarity, you need to understand that these people are more akin to surgeons than they are a typical office worker, interviews are typically merely a formality in the hiring process for them.

Much less of that time would have been spent procrastinating 5 years ago when $150,000 bought twice as much, now it's realistically not substantially much better than my true value adjusted starting salary. If I'm not going to be paid in true value terms substantially more than I was paid when I started out despite several years more experience and specialist knowledge under my belt, I don't see why I should bother trying to do more per week than I did when I started. If they want me to do more, I demand a wage increase exceeding inflation, barely or not even keeping pace with inflation means I'm just not going to put in the work and they're just going to have to deal with it.
There's plenty of engineers, but there's a shortage of highly motivated and excellently talented engineers.

Vivek was born to parents who are citizens, how’s he not American?
My concern with doge is that instead of actually downsizing the government bureaucracy, elon just creates more government contracts to outsource bureaucratic work to private companies. So instead of actually reducing government spending, he just made govenrment spending go into the hands of unaccountable private entities that don’t have the same disclosure laws as govenrment institutions. It may be a bait and switch. I never have trusted elon, as his fortune has been entirely dependent on govenrment subsidy, whether it be for electric cars or space exploration
That sounds really smart
If it's being done by a private firm INSTEAD of a government agency, that would save money in most cases. NASA's shuttle program vs. SpaceX is a good example. Outsourcing wouldn't mean the government bureaucracy would still keep functioning at its current size in ADDITION to a private contractor doing the same thing, that makes zero sense. Outsourcing means the original producer of the good or service in question gets *replaced,* not *added to.*
@@freespeechenjoyerthere are trade offs to privatization beyond just the financial aspect. The biggest downside is the lack of direct government accountability for outsourced work. Think about the difference between hiring a publicly funded army vs an entirely mercenary army from private contractors. A mercenary just cares about a paycheck, not defending a country. Private companies don’t need to be as transparent as the government, as foia would not apply for a private entity. Not are private companies necessarily required to care about the public interest. It’s the same logic as hiring an Indian worker for 30% less with no additional support vs hiring an American/British worker a market rate wage with investment in career development
@@freespeechenjoyeroutsourcing usually goes to the lowest bidder in almost every situation. That's not a good recipe for the best outcome

I have a few degrees in engineering, and let me tell you, there isn't a western "shortage" of engineers, it's purely a pay/training problem that companies don't want to front the costs for. I never went into the industry after I got my second degree because I was faced with the prospect of "get a £15,000 uni degree and then after that, be forced to take a 40h/week 4 year contract for £23,000/year" or just work in a supermarket and make £25,000/year and be provided free food on top of that.
If companies weren't offering engineers terrible pay for awful work they would find that there are literally THOUSANDS of them doing nothing right now. Engineers are problem solvers by nature. If they aren't taking the bait, it's because we are literally trained to min/max and to be able to spot a good deal when we see one... My personal experience was that I either take the typical path of earning at a net negative for the first 6-7 years (very typical in the field these days) or I take an RAF sponsorship which required being locked into a 5-10 year contract that didn't prohibit active service... all that for £26k/year.

One of the biggest things Elon Musk appears to be missing is how the U.S. Healthcare System factors into this.
It's no secret anymore that if you want Healthcare in the U.S., you either need to be blindingly rich, or bafflingly poor.
Obviously, if you're rich you can afford the best Healthcare no problem, but if you're poor, the government feels sorry for you and bends over backwards to provide you free Healthcare, because they can't exactly make you PAY for it...
But if you're in the middle class, you are just absolutely downright FUCKED because you're not privileged enough for them to offer you good deals and you're not sad enough for them to give you anything for free. You're a sucker, and they're going to squeeze you for everything they can get.
So the middle class is looking at their poor neighbors who slack off and do nothing and get FREE HEALTHCARE and it's no fucking wonder the Working Class doesn't wanna WORK anymore.
They're being ACTIVELY PUNISHED for trying to participate in society and make a living. Meanwhile, people who give up and leech on the system are rewarded with free stuff.
Americans ARE Lazy, Elon. The problem you fail to realize is that the Healthcare system ENCOURAGES that, and people like you who COULD do something about it are doing FUCKING NOTHING so FUCK OFF.
I swear, one of these hacks had to be keeping this term "woke right" in their back pocket in the event they lost. I have never heard anything so ridiculous.

Team-work, leadership, discipline, strategic thinking, etc. Sports are so good for human development. That was the stupidest thing Vivek has ever said, but not surprised, coming from a tech bro. They're all arrogant and think only tech matters.
Anyone who has been out for job interviews in the past 5 years knows that there is no labour shortage. And they also know that the 'skill shortage' is actually an 'unwillingness to create skill' issue with companies.
It is really ridiculous. I've seen tech companies care more about one's ability to make a presentation than their programming talent and experience.

From my experience, the good looking jocks at school were always perfectly pleasant and whenever they hurt someone it was by accident.
It was the nerds and the alternative kids (me included lol) who were kind of bitter and twisted at times and who would do each other vindictive harm.
And the actual bullies weren't usually jocks. They were troubled kids from violent families.
The thing is that all the TV and movie writers were nerds in school, jealous of the jocks and so when they grew up they made jocks villains in their screenplays as a sort of revenge fantasy.
Maybe some truth in it.
They were Jews, a race of vindictive nerds.
The valediction of my high school was also the star football player. Most of the jocks were in honors and AP classes. The idea that jocks are dumb meatheads is outdated and wrong, and this was in the early 2000s.
Always accurate. You should judge a book by the cover because its most of the time accurate. Its always the alternative (SMELLY) kids that are the savages and they make no effort to hide the ugliness inside.
100%. I had a foot in both worlds in school - I was an absolute nerd and computer geek, but I worked out in the school gym and took all the physical education courses because my family knew the guy in charge of the PE department. Can confirm, this was overwhelmingly the case.
The bullies and the sports kids almost never overlapped. There were *some* exceptions, but they could be counted on one hand. The bullies almost always came out of families with some sort of bad home life, and were basically just acting out because of the abuse they were suffering.

I work in workforce development... where I work in the structures and with funding determined by the state and federal government in the US. there are MANY people who approach me that want to up their skills... but the limitations are harsh and discouraging for many who just can't pull it off due to low income and other barriers. people that I know would be hard working and contribute well to the US society, and are citizens right here. there are MANY Americans that want to better themselves and learn more for their future and their family and their nation... but the sad fact is our education and skill training is out of cost for a lot of people (WHY is it so expensive compared to other nations??? education of our populace should be number one priority).
then you see the discouragement reflecting in people... men who once had dreams end up turning to drugs or video games because there REALLY is more doors closing in their faces than before. it's a doom spiral down the toilet. we NEED to address our EDUCATION and university/skill training here. we NEED to expand aprenticeships and I would argue there needs to be a huge project to improve our infrastructure similar to what America did in the 1930s under FDR. it would add jobs, train many with real experience, and improve our infrastructure that has been crumbling to dangerous levels (be careful driving on bridges people) for 30 years now. unfortunately we know our government doesn't function as well as those times, and are not be trusted as much... so I highly doubt a national program like what FDR did would run well. maybe Trump can cut some corruption and fix this who knows...

@@Nylon_riot you may be right. but I would argue with the huge investment in infrastructure (building highways, bridges, etc to help trucking and transport) and jobs to build it all as a response to the Great Depression primed our economy to get roaring for the war effort of the time. perhaps it was a combination of the two, with the WW2 economy being what pulled us up the most.
regardless... I hope we avoid a huge war as well. although day by day I'm wondering if it really will take something huge to fix our vast web of issues that almost seems insurmountable at times here. whether this really is another Great Depression or what who knows...
As a English native I have always felt unwanted I have never come across any genuine opportunity to train or progress and become anything better I feel I'm required to be bottom of the pile to do the body trashing crap labour .but I see recently arrived people in good jobs I don't get it .😢
I'm from Maryland in the US and, same brother
Unlike them, we dont have a tribe and a Homeland
They hate us, simple as.
@@glideronthemoon Only because we let our elites sell ours out from under us.
Ironically (although I don't know that it's like this now), I had my best opportunities in China, 2011-2016. I was able to build my resume in a way that I wouldn't have back home. Many Westerners started off as ESL teachers, then were able to pivot into better roles, where they were able to develop better skills. Of course there are next to no permanent residency visas being awarded to foreigners, nor citizenship (not that I'd want it), but opportunities for Westerners are better found (ironically) in Asia. Dubai is another place. It's crazy that Westerners are needing to leave their homelands to pursue options elsewhere, yet here we are.
Legally, there are no tech jobs exclusively for foreigners. However, if the job requirements are intentionally impossible (ala many "entry level" listings), then they are permitted to search internationally (with more lax requirements and credentials).
Vivek is India First.
India doesn't think so
lmao, and you are irish first
while I was attending university for a CS degree I noticed that any time there was an Indian or Chinese professor all of their TAs and lab assistance would be Indian and Chinese respectively. While the white professors would tend to be more balanced and "diverse". The reason why the tech space is become less American is because of nepotism.
Elon should move X to india, all the engineers he could ever dream of!
I'm 28. I spent almost two years job hunting, including applying for jobs I'm overqualified for. I'm not in STEM, I'm in the humanities, but the market conditions are similar at this point.
I have five degrees, including two masters, and I'm currently pursuing a PhD. I am an award-winning teacher and I have years of management experience. I have also published multiple articles over the years across multiple disciplines.
It was like pulling teeth to hear back from almost anyone.
In a sane world you'd be the very top pick, in this world your effort isn't rewarded.
Did America "win" if you import Indian engineers and "win" with them ? What would it mean to be "American" and would "America" be at that point other than simply just a brand.
