    ESR on whether Donald Trump will order Kristi Noem to order DHS.GOV
    to ask Big Tech Bros to deplatform the legacy American proles co-opting
    their websites to spew malinformation about the Cheap Labor Lobby: <URL:https://x.com/esrtweet/status/1872404345003692207>
    | I also didn't have to worry that a hiring manager from a
    | subcontinent that shall not be named would laugh at my
    | qualifications because in-group loyalty tells him to hire his fourth
    | cousin from a city where they still shit on the streets.
    |
    | It's a bit much to complain that today's American students won't
    | grind as hard as East Asians when we abandoned meritocracy more than
    | 30 years ago. Nothing disincentivizes working your ass off to excel
    | more than a justified belief that it's futile.

    Will Trump attempt to enlist VP JD Vance to serve as his Deputy Chief Salescritter for Trump's plan to commission Big .EDU presidents and
    deans as Staple as Green Card privateers poaching the 8.1B globe's top
    two quintiles for the Cheap Labor Lobby and does Peter Thiel figure
    its worth the risk to his path to WhiteHouse.GOV in 2028?
