" and real estate investment group, she was told"

Sorry pal, you bought the business AND its contracts.

No unilateral changing of terms.

"They are all here legally."

Riiiiiiiight.

I'm sure that's what they told you.

" However, I - and MAGA - are both opposed the H1B program"

You might be, but Trump most definitely is not.

Just ask Elon.

" Why you think you won the argument when you simply came around to agreeing with my initial position is amazing."

Maybe because I had that position before you even started thinking about the issue. It looks like you came around to MY point.

" Are you certain that farm workers are here illegally?"

I've seen TikTok after TikTok from farmers admitting no one is showing up for work.

You tell me what YOUR conclusion would be.

"not for people like you that never had gainful employment."

I stopped reading at that point. Why bother?

" we owe each other so many Cokes."

Facts are powerful things.

And we both saw through Ira's horse manure.

" High skill, high paid jobs were never outsourced to China."

Of course not.

That what H1Bs are all about. Bring others in ... to pay them less.

" how can you continue to support mass illegal immigration into the US?"

I don't, and never have.

What I usually do is rail against the obvious hypocrisy of attacking the symptom, but not the root. How about if we arrest all those farm owners who have admitted hiring illegal workers?

Statements against interest, and all that.

And we'll do it DOGE-style: any farmer who can't get his crops to market, clearly had to use illegal workers in the past. Lock them up!

" Tell me the difference between shipping a job to China and importing an illegal to do the job in the US."

Ship a job there, and it doesn't matter how much you might've paid an American.

" destroyed wage scales due to mass illegal immigration."

Could somebody buy this dumfuq a clue phone?

Wage scales were destroyed when the tax code started incentivizing job relocation to Gyna.

" According to all the waste DODGE has found"

Let me guess: it's the same proof you have the 2020 election was stolen.

"Looks like Mr Musk has some trouble with numbers ..."

He claimed SS was not only a Ponzi scheme, but the biggest one in history.

He's not only ignorant of Ponzi schemes, he's ignorant of the actual equilibrium equation of Social Security.

We know it's an equilibrium equation, because it was in surplus after Reagan changed the withholding rates.

Regardless: THEY WANT TO SLASH $2 TRILLION, SO THEY CAN BORROW TWICE AS MUCH TO GIVE OVER 60% TO THE WORLD'S WEALTHIEST ONE-TENTH OF ONE PERCENT.

Let's see a show of hands: who's for borrowing MORE, so we can give away MORE tax cuts to the wealthy???

"our Dunning Kruger Presidency"

Hey! They all graduated top of their class.

Just ask them!

"FFS can we get facts?"

Is your reaction going to be different if it's 8,874 versus if it's 13,257?

Or is this just a worthless hoop, to avoid addressing the central issue of the way the macro dial is being turned?

"selling off could be a ----- trap, though."

Going bust? Don't knockers it if you haven't tried it!

"never never never never never never..........borrow money to buy a car."

Unless they're offering it at 0%.

"You are over 60. If you can't buy the car with cash at your age..."

Huh? If you can pay cash, a 2% loan is a deal.

Weren't you crowing about 12% annual returns? Wouldn't borrowing as much money as possible at 2% be the goal, if you can turn around and invest it for 12?

Hell, I financed a new car in May 2020, five years, zero percent. Sure I could've paid cash...but why???

" ... rolling in a ----- Outback."

Is that anything like your Trans Am?

"That is exactly what you ------- Democrats demanded. Now you are regretting it?"

That's all you've got?!? I'm not a Democrat. I'm not in favor of the 2% return.

The only thing I'm regretting is getting in a conversation with a moron. G'Night, all.

"Danforth. He's going to prison for murder."

All I have to say in my defense is...

HE HAD IT COMIN'

"No one that has read more than 10 of your posts believes anyone would let you come close to managing money."

Idiots will be idiots.

Meanwhile, my investments made over 20% last year, I got out October 8th, and I could buy a top-of-the-line Outback with the money I haven't lost since then.

And if you don't believe the Trustee part, well...how much are you willing to lose on a bet?

"Social Security ran it last annual surplus in 2009, and began running permanent annual deficits in 2010"

Hmmm... I seem to recall someone posting these exact facts. I wonder who....

"So the government pays for the SS shortfall by borrowing money "

No, not yet. Not until the prior surplus funds run out. Good God, man...how math-ignorant are you?

But since you brought up "borrowing money"...

Since extending the Trump tax cuts represents borrowing over $4 Trillion in new money, to give more than half away to the world's richest 1/10th of 1%...

...are you in favor?

"I don't want to push his nose into ------- or spike the football here "

Holy fkkk. You can't tell the difference between the single-digit amount YOU PROPOSED, and 100%?!?

This moron is rounding first, in his home run trot, before he realizes the catcher is holding strike three.
