Well, a good thing for me, anyway. I\u2019m not above a purely mercenary, possibly even a Nietzschean view, when it comes to jobs.<\/p>\n<p>After all I\u2019ve been on the receiving end for a while now. If some idiot self deports because they\u2019re scared mean old Trump is gonna pull their H1B1 or Green card I\u2019m totally <strong>fine<\/strong> with that.<\/p>\n<p>From a more Nietzschean perspective: In the pursuit of my own interest and survival. There is absolutely nothing wrong with terrorizing H1B1 or Green card holders into <em>believing<\/em> that &#8220;ICE is gonna get \u2018em&#8221;, so they quit their jobs and self deport. Especially if I need a job, and they\u2019re in my way.<\/p>\n<p>I guess in a way I\u2019m trying to move beyond the constraints that have held me back. I was,<em> live &amp; let live<\/em>, I wanted to be <em>liked<\/em>, I wanted to be <em>fair<\/em>, I fell for the absolute <em><strong>bullshit<\/strong><\/em> that suggested it was in our best interests to train our replacements. Or that if we were <em>nice<\/em>, we\u2019d get ahead too.<\/p>\n<p>I was a moron. On its face, training our replacements, (and I\u2019ve done my fair share of that stupid shit,) is the epitome of insanity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pretty much throughout my career I stood quietly by, while incompetent coworkers were promoted due to race, gender, or sexual preference, over me, then I had to do their work too. (The irony of the sexual preference promotion isn\u2019t lost on me either.)<\/p>\n<p>Somewhere along the line I bought into the insanity this was somehow good, because\u2026 \u201cIt\u2019s more fair!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Well, those days are over.<\/p>\n<p>These days, I\u2019m asking, \u201cFair for who?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Oh, make no mistake, I accept full responsibility for my mistakes. I should have fought tooth and nail against the bullshit. I even accept my part in the overall fuck up, that has reduced efficiency, quality, and superiority, of American businesses.<\/p>\n<p>Online, I\u2019m no longer saying, \u201c<em>You don\u2019t have to worry about ICE arresting you in your place of business even if you have a Green Card.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In some online forums I\u2019m agreeing with them. \u201c<em>Yes, Trump and ICE will absolutely deport you! They\u2019re going business to business and just putting Green Card holders on planes to totally random places, then leaving them there with no money, no passport, and they even take their phones!!! Oh my god, it\u2019s just terrible!<\/em>\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If someone is so stupid that they self deport out of fear, we don\u2019t need them. If they can be terrorized into panic then, \u201cSee Ya!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yes, there are actually a surprising number of people that are claiming they\u2019re leaving before ICE comes to get them. It\u2019s hysterically funny. I\u2019m not feeling any remorse in feeding their paranoid delusions.<\/p>\n<p>It just creates more job opportunities for me and other Americans who have been fucked over for decades, displaced by the Kumbaya one world crap.<\/p>\n<p>The funniest are the extreme leftists who think Trump will deport them over their political views, even though they\u2019re citizens. Oddly these people all look very similar. Wild eyes, goofy hair colors, weirdly painted nails, tattoos that look like the tattoo artist vomited, enough metal in their faces that they\u2019d be a hazard during an MRI, and they screech during their all too frequent TikTok rants.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe revoking their citizenship &amp; deporting them, would be good for the country. Lots of them are saying they\u2019re going to Canada.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hasn\u2019t poor Canada suffered enough??? \u201c<em>Apparently not, if their recent election is any indicator.<\/em>&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Well, I\u2019m off to sow more chaos and terror.<\/p>\n<p>Hey, I\u2019ve gotta find fun where I can, and who knows? It might be patriotic to boot!<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\ude18<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since President Trump took office I\u2019ve been seeing more jobs posted.
