Popcorn And Fingernails

What that "war" looks like: And it’s mostly over H1-B visas which, you know, have a down side:
… Bannon: “This whole thing from Musk about ‘Oh, they’re only geniuses - H1B Visas’, that’s not what it’s about. It’s about taking American jobs and bringing over essentially what have become indentured servants at lower wages. The thing’s a SCAM by the oligarchs in Silicon Valley to basically take jobs from American citizens and give them to what become indentured servants from foreign countries, and pay them less.” 
… Ann Coulter: “American workers can leave a company. Imported H1B workers can’t. Tech wants indentured servants, not ‘high-skilled’ workers.” 
… I feel like I need a shower after agreeing with Steve Bannon and Ann Coulter.
"Indentured servants” is a bit severe but, yeah, lose your job and you have a short window to losing your visa. And Elmo the slasher of Twitter jobs is hardly a friend to labor (how many of them had visas?). One more reason Twitter has lost 80% of its value since Elmo bought it.

But Twitter is the weapon he has. Which is what he’s going to war with. From the 9th floor of the Desert Inn.
