Why They’re Turning On Elon
Just announced the first half of my 2025 tour! Check out https://joshjohnsoncomedy.com/tour for dates and to sign up for the waitlist to be notified when I’m performing in your city.
Hi Friends,
This week I wanted to share my thoughts on Vivek and Elon clashing with MAGA on H1-B Visas. Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk are both billionaires who stand to gain a lot of H1-B visas are expanded as a program.
The annual statutory cap for H-1B visas is 65,000, plus an additional 20,000 visas for foreign professionals who have a master’s degree or doctorate from a US institution.
The majority of H1-B’s seem to, at least at the moment, go to recipients in India.
If you love my stories I have a podcast that comes out every week: https://bit.ly/3NQmpio

Sounds like you guys saved your proto-priest from a lifetime of heartache, honestly. Seminary is… Difficult.
About a third of the people who go deconvert when they learn a bit about the religion.
Another third muddle through and make a living, often deconverting privately but doing it as a job and as a sort of social worker with a funny outfit.
About half of what is left go full on fanatic and believe dinosaurs lived with humans and someone eating a fruit means your mother went through agony to have you.
And the remaining sixth go full on grifter, which is it's own special category of nasty, but if they 'win' at it they get multiple private jets and after making a career of saying homosexuals are going to hell, they're caught giving a blowjob to someone in a van out the front of the church. (True story)
A god belief is one thing, but organised religion is a special kind of social parasite. And it rarely stands up to any kind of honest scrutiny. A night in a strip club is much easier to process than years of seminary teachings and uncomfortable truths.. Or so I would imagine. I've never been into a strip club.
Good show though. Loved the comparison.

Awfully funny that the MAGA types say they want to gut education but the Muskrat is saying the quiet part out loud, t's already been so gutted that immigration is required to fill those jobs competently

All that money, and he uses it to do things like pay professional gamers to play for him so that he can pretend he is good at gaming. He is deeply unhappy.

Am I mistaken in thinking that the reason the supreme Court goes along with Trump so often because he hasn't released files yet? And why is it that every time somebody goes off and shoots up something with somebody it helps Trump's regime? How much time does he have until he won't be able to declare martial law and take away elections altogether?

the other thing CEOs like about these visas? indentured servitude. as in "oh you want to quit this job? are you sure? because that means your h1b gets canceled and you no longer have the right to be in America." all the sudden that job offered by another company for twice the pay? not an option

Lol chom I get the south African joke but we white south Africana( edit meant African but Africana fits too as I'm half Afrikaans) are born and raised in South African. We are south African and nothing else. This is my country and i will die for it. So it's funny to me maga thought it was an insalt calling Elon a south African. Bafetu what are you sayin?😂 Not saying im 100% with Elon just that no one can talk kuk about SA citizens but SA citizens 😂

@beagle808 But you have no education (and even if, only MIT etc is usable….), and then you have multiple answers tests… Logic don't apply to you either, your a trump supporter… Because you do understand that he doesn't make up that Americans are dumb/saying Musk is wrong?
But there is job available to harvest/farming insane construction hours, but maybe not full "minimum wage"
(I bet the idea of minimum wage, really was meant to be the minimum you needed to survive…)
Anyway, you also can work selling perfume on a toilet.. lots of work for dumb people in the US. Packing grocery bags in the store.
If you understand how statistics work, I know you can see what background the people that do best in the best universities? (Asians?!? You think? Because the ones that dropped down to a B in a subject either is at a mental hospital or in a cemetery after seppuku..
Not sure why I tried to explain this. Just listen again and you understand that Elon and Vivek didn't try to be mean to you all, just explain that, well they need smart people…
And a red hat confirm your stupid. I hope last seven months have enlightened you, or you probably may have gotten a job in trunps fascist army, (Idiotiic criminal enforcement, ICE…) I hope you got smart and not being prosecuted in Nurnberg 29.. (This time you will be prosecuted under state law, so noone can pardon you (not that anyone will until in about 100 yr. You all seems to forget history after that. They really trying to eradicate the history too, throw out Smithsonians black culture exhibition, and description of how slaves was captured, transported and tortured to follow orders. Maybe Django and other movies can survive and show you (the tortured souls the way to salvation!
And wouldn't you believe it… I am an atheist… And your constitution say to keep religion out of schools and government. And getting anyone elected to start accept bribes and do what your owners tell you too. Maybe never will happen. Like Ginnis husband. How often do you see a supreme court justice reffered to as someones husband. (Wouldn't have noticed if it been said about K Brown Jackson.
Watch videos of how you treated Muhammad Ali after winning the Olympics.White people are The devil! When argueing the slick guy belittling people in discussiond in 60 70.. not very knowledgeable, but decent in rethoric. Ali wasn't having it. I didn't ask you that!
When not all bad argument, Ali said, for every 1 white man you find that will die for black rights, I find 5000 that will kill to denie the black man his right ükä
