america was never sane
The sudden and severe immigration restrictions imposed on passport holders from seven Muslim countries could seriously demonstrate the law of unintended consequences. The president wants to restrict some Muslims but the effect could be to damage America's most important and profitable sector: technology.
Google has recalled around 100 of its affected staff from overseas. Microsoft has warned its shareholders that curbs on immigration could have a material impact on its business.
The technology sector relies heavily on highly skilled and well-paid workers from overseas on H1-B visas. If there's a risk, however small, that that brainpower could be restricted in some way or scare off others who may feel unwelcome, the big tech companies may have to rethink where they place their key staff in future.
It's the fictional cyberpunk year of 2017 and free travel is permitted only for higher level employees of a few giant tech corporations, most of whom claim citizenship within a network of partially VR-based corporate citystates physically located in giant steampunk airships floating above the San Francisco bay

President Trump is right. I built a wall along Israel's southern border. It stopped all illegal immigration. Great success. Great idea 🇮🇱🇺🇸

there's a kind of classic 80s sci-fi sleaze to trump, this garish propaganda taking the form of a late night shopping channel infomercial really hammers it home.

CyberBrecht posted:thousands of people showed up to shut down multiple major airports across the country today. i'm willing to bet most were young, and i think the ruling class is going to regret letting trump energize this cohort & give them practical experience of (provisional, contingent, w/e) successful resistance. make accelerationism great again.

current mood: significant liberal uproar is because trump& did something that affected "the good ones". Not migrant workers who have been deported by millions, but actual wealthy people's lives. this doesn't discount from the value of last night's airport action but just a note that the Shumer and the other parasites are suddenly Socialist Gods to these clueless fucking dorks
current mood also: there is probably no other way beside years of brutal police repression before these people stop fucking about and start getting jiggy with it
