A career shortage.</br>
An opportunity shortage.</br>
A fairness shortage.</br>
A logic shortage.</br>
An ethics shortage.</br>
A bargaining symmetry shortage.

|content=[[Labor Shortages|There is no engineer shortage.]]
 
Management and investors are gobbling the compensation needed to attrract engineers while attempting to flood markets from abroad by printing visas.
 
Interesting that this error in logic is impossible to remove. So simple, so wrong &amp; so lucrative.

|content=Standing by to hear once again how I just don’t get it from people in the @dnc more focused on carried interest tax exemptions, infinite work visas for non-existent labor shortages, and defunding the police while denying the cupidity of organized identity to replace labor unions.

|content=In my experience @AnnCoulter is actually more genuinely left of center on our needing deep painful labor shortages that bring employers to their knees at the bargaining table rather than the Visa trough, than the fake Left we call the @DNC. Anti-war is another example of this.

|content=You may despise @TuckerCarlson if you are on the Left. But in private, he focuses on US working families. When we on the nominal Left now hear “US working families” we start in like we don’t know our own history.  “Why US?” “Why Working?” “Why Families?”
 
We walked off our post.

Anti-war. Pro-dignity of labor. Pro family. Pro-Patriotism. Anti-censorship. Anti-totalitarian. Pro-freedom. Anti-authoritarian.
 
That’s the core Real Left.

|content=The research university system would start to collapse. And we would at last be forced to conclude that using PRC labor to try to intimidate America’s STEW force into accepting *scraps* to enrich everyone else is probably about the dumbest thing we do as a nation.

Even Soviets didn’t target their own scientists. How about we pay our labor rather than calling it “training” &amp; calling our workers, “workers” rather than “students”? Oddly, you aren’t even a socialist standing for workers.
