Seriously? After Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy says, why we are not able to get jobs as American is because we are mediocre? Who even want’s to work for them?

What he means is that you are unwilling to work 60+ per week every week. He cannot say it out loud (yet).

Translation: I don’t want to deal with Americans who expect good pay, because that impacts my bottom line. I’d rather hire foreigners on a visa who just want a job and won’t complain, even if they’re whipped.

I 👏 WANT 👏 SLAVERY! 🗣️🔊

Actually, they want to pay these engineers low wages then send them back to their country. It’s not about quantity of engineers, it’s about making the rich richer.

Did not expect MAGA to get hijacked by Revenge of the Nerds 2025. Where is Trump and Vance? Why is an electric car salesman now the leader of “roll coal” idiots? More H1B1 visas is the absolute opposite of what they want or need. What a bait and switch! Getting my passport updated and popcorn ready!

It’s not that we’re mediocre it’s that we can’t be made to work 90 hours a week because we have options.
Every company in America wants 1.5-2 peoples workload out of every 1 employee

We have to confront the TRUTH:

That American political culture has venerated tax cuts and immediate returns over long term sustainability for way too long (at least since the 80s). That doesn’t start in the electorate, it starts on CAPITOL HILL.

A culture that celebrates tax cuts for businesses and reductions in public spending will not produce the best engineers.

Dude’s a fucking windbag that doesn’t have the foggiest idea what the problems he’s describing are caused by. Moreover, it’s such a broad generalization that in my mind it translates as “I can’t juice enough profit out of engineers that value their time and know their worth”.

They want the best talent at the cheapest price, full stop. And Vivek probably wouldn’t even deny that statement. “That’s just good business”.

Imagine a dem saying this

and how hard and long fox and co would ride it like don’s button mushroom dick

We definitely should value academic and intellectual achievement more than we do, but let’s talk about which political party has waged a consistent war on expertise, intellectualism, and education for the past 30+ years??

I’m a tech worker and mildly understand his silly point, but… can I bully this guy for his television choices? Also, Screech? Really?

This whole thing is about them getting the most labor for the cheapest amount. They want 70 hour work weeks while paying 32 hours with no benefits.

They demand excellence while offering peanuts in return. Personally, right out of college, I was a naive, hopeful individual who believed hard work would lead to success. Instead, all it got me was more work and even higher expectations. Now, I stick to doing the bare minimum required for my job, no more going above and beyond just so some wealthy asshat can afford another yacht.

It’s not about mediocrity. It’s about a US born software engineer expecting 200k/year with at LEAST four weeks vacation not including holidays. Import them in and you don’t need to pay them fairly or give them time off.

Jock and prom queen aren’t jobs. Also, US work culture “celebrates” no protection for parental leave or paid time off, all while working excessive hours.

Vivek is saying that that’s not good enough, and if you want to compete with H1B workers, you must be ready for full enslavement.

Typical corpo-brat bullshit.

Imagine being a rabid MAGA Republican and then having the audacity to whine about American mediocrity without a hint of irony 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

This makes sense to me they’d say this, simply because it makes no sense!

They claim they want people who value academic excellence, yet they just paid to elect a president that is so anti-intellectualist he wants to disband the department of education.

This comes back to comments Musk and Bezos have made about wanting fewer regulations. They just want to be able to do whatever the fuck they want without repercussions so they can squeeze more money out.

This man’s entire worldview formed while his head was shoved in a flushing toilet and it shows. 

A bit late to be concerned with anti-intellectualism isn’t it?

The reason that people do not want to be excellent is that, if we prove ourselves to be valuable to you, you will try to enslave us even harder. You will take away all of our free time, force us put work above our families and friends, deny us the pay that we deserve for our work, put us in situations where we cannot retire. You, as an employer, will try to find ways to own us. You will, 100%, try to remove every shred of happiness from our lives if we demonstrate that we are of any value to you.

This is why those of us who aren’t stupid leave our fields and pursue more “mundane” work…so that you, the employer, will leave us the fuck alone and stop making our lives miserable.

The culture of mediocrity is on YOU, Musk. It is ALL on you and your GREED to try to squeeze every ounce of value from us and destroy our relationships with those we love.

Spoken like someone who hires H1B’s to save money.


No, it’s because of a culture that celebrates corporate greed over paying employees worth a damn. You want to pay for far less than someone is capable of, then you get what you pay for.

This is the same guy talking down the need for education right ? (oh, for the poors only)

This guy is supportive of the worst born rich, fail-up, lying POS guy ever to unfortunately win elected office, and partnered with an equally dubious born rich, fail-up idea thief, and tweets this? Lolololol.

“Society has become weak but I can make you strong again” is pretty much fascism 101.
