    From John D Groenveld@21:1/5 to All on Wed Apr 12 10:50:25 2023
    NDTV's Abhimanyu Kulkarni on whether Susie Wiles recommends Donald
    Trump enlist Narendra Modi as a campaign surrogate for Americans

    | Job cuts are rising as companies try to counter a global economic
    | slowdown and soaring inflation. Several tech giants -- including
    | Google, Amazon, and Facebook -- have drastically scaled down their
    | operations recently.
    |
    | Indians are among those who have been hit the hardest by the mass
    | layoffs in US tech companies. Hundreds of workers, living in the US
    | on temporary visas, have been left jobless with very little time to
    | find a new one.
    |
    | H-1B visa holders who become unemployed can remain in the US legally
    | for only 60 days without finding new employers to sponsor them.

    Does Wiles worry that Ken Griffin and Lachlan Murdoch will allow Ron
    DeSantis to outflank Trump from the right on the National Question
    by calling on Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell to impeach Ur M
    Jaddou and Alejandro Mayorkas for granting TPS to the Cheap Labor
    Lobby's RIF'd scab workers?

    "The funny thing is that this is probably how people around Trump
    who aren't totally brain dead try to pressure him to not go through
    with giving Loomer an official role: go to the Times and generate
    bad press, which typically governs Trump. https://t.co/67XVz8ie9M" -
