Summary
Steve Bannon intensified divisions within the MAGA movement by calling for “reparations” for American workers allegedly displaced by H-1B visa holders, whom he also advocated deporting.
On his show, War Room, Bannon criticized Elon Musk and others for supporting the visa program, claiming it undercuts U.S. workers.
The H-1B program, which allows companies to hire skilled foreign workers, has divided MAGA, with anti-immigration factions opposing it.
Musk’s support of the visas and clashes with conservatives, including Laura Loomer, have escalated tensions, raising questions about his alignment with MAGA priorities.
Certainly assumed you knew that plan demanded sacrifice. Hey, I like the Raspberry Pi idea.
I’m curious if you, like me, own something better than a Pi right now. In which case, we could sell it and buy a Pi for ourselves PLUS some mini PCs for those who could really use them.
If so, we could do that right now but we haven’t. For me, that challenges my stated intentions, because I’m not willing to put my money where my mouth is.
Hmm, I couldn’t do my work with such a low powered machine but what kind of work would I even have to do in a completely equitable world…
Well we don’t currently have a good path to equitable distribution, but ever since I was a teenager, I have always held on to still working PC parts instead of immediately selling them when I upgrade. Beyond using the old ones as various servers, I’ve most often restored them and given them away to folks who were too poor to afford a PC but needed one. I’ve also fixed countless laptops only asking for the people I help to pay for their own parts, my labor was free to them (I have always felt the cost of PC repair is prohibitively expensive to the elderly who live on a fixed income). So I certainly feel like I’ve done my bit in that regard.
But as for computer stuff, I actually have quite a bit of equipment at the moment, but that has a purpose and plan. One, the aforementioned “lab” of old equipment that can be hacked together into stuff that is needed, and two considering the realities of a future where we really need Mutual Aid networks and figuring out how I can contribute by having the tools, parts, and knowledge necessary for things like a community mesh & ethernet LAN network. We need to restore citizen communications networks like the barbed wire telephone networks of yesteryear.
