The United States government, or at least half of it, literally wants the populace as stupid and malleable as possible.
No, I get it. But clearly the comment I replied to doesn’t relate to the article. The zero-effort comments belong on Reddit.
This article doesn’t support the notion of promoting consumerism at all. It does support the argument that the US has a gun violence problem that’s now scaring people away and a work-life balance problem. In addition to the immigration system being inadequate at best.
Students seeking a visa via schools here get screwed by schools as there’s a limited pool of these visas and schools are much more expensive to international students — so on this, why wait for the visa lottery only to be raked over the coals for a ton of money?
Another option is the H1B program which some people have argued is argued to have too low of caps, but until you’re able to wait out the greencard backlog, you’re at risk of getting laid off and forced to go back almost immediately. Kinda sucks for those wanting to start a life here.
Bro you're talking about zero effort comments and you literally dropping .... Huh?'s.
The response is succinct and adequately serves to express my belief that the comment does not relate to the content of the article.
