Trump supports immigration visas backed by Musk: ‘I have many H-1B visas on my properties’
(nypost.com)
“I’ve always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas. That’s why we have them,” Trump said by phone, referring to the H-1B program, which permits companies to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations.
“I have many H-1B visas on my properties. I’ve been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It’s a great program,” added Trump, who restricted access to foreign worker visas in his first administration and has been critical of the program in the past.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Need to vent, just ignore this. If you don't want to listen to a grown man whine, please just answer the title.
Rant
This country sucks. Everything here sucks. Leaving is too expensive, living is 5x more expensive.
- We can't rent because our credit is too shitty, and we can't get jobs because they want us to live somewhere to get mail. The place we WERE getting mail said they wouldn't keep delivering the mail even though the owner is okay with it.
- We can't afford food, but some food banks are now SO busy they're a 3 hour wait. It's gotten 30x worse this winter; we have started seeing some NICE-ass cars here. Some even say we're too well off for free food because we have a car to sleep in (wow thanks)
- We're "too well off" for state assistance, and somehow not disabled enough for fed assistance (rare spine fusing disorder, I look like a pretzel)
USA is giving hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine. USA is giving hundreds of billions of dollars to Israel.
- Republicans want us to take some imaginary fairy jobs with our super-bootstraps and buy the nearest $12,000 house.
- Democrats want to suck off the establishment regardless of what they do to us (please don't protest unless they're "legal protests!" You have to vote for the man who made homelessness illegal or the scary orange fuher will win!)
If a 3rd party couldn't win THIS election of all fucking elections, it's never happening without intense violence.
- The good thing is that the surveillance state would never let that happen, whew! Really glad we don't have the gulag here unlike that shitty "communist" country that houses everybody /s.
If we didn't get healthcare reform after Trump's covid party, it's NEVER happening.
- Two of our best friends have severe Huntington's disease and their insurance doesn't cover their meds. But at least their insurance company made $90,100,000,000 in profits this year! WooHoo!!
At least stocks are up biggly!
- I'm sure that has nothing to do with inflation and the collapsing USD!
Meanwhile; in burger-fuck-town, our dumbass citizens weren't educated enough to do anything other than guzzle sugar and argue about their side of the culture-war.
- Maybe it's the 3,000 people who own half of the worlds wealth's problem? Nah, it's gotta be trans people!
- Maybe the 1% is the problem? Nah, it's gotta be those dumbass racist white folk in Alabama's fault!
- Maybe corporations are to blame? No, I'm pretty sure it's the student protestors! They should have known better than to break the law!
Our homelessness is ILLEGAL where we live, and fucking SLAVERY is legal for anybody who had the misfortune of being stuck in housing limbo.
- It's very clear the establishment is pushing people into labor camps and torturing anybody who refuses the labor (I mean who gives a fuck if prisoners kill themselves in solitary confinement, AMIRIGHT?)

Top decile probability of death is 55 % over a decade or roughly 0.5 % per month. Thus, biden has 1 month to croak and trumpo has a year to croak, which leads to (1-0.995)*0.95+0.995=...=0.025% chance or 1 in 4000 for both to occur.
