    on whether Donald Trump will nominate Ken Braithwaite to succeed Carlos
    Del Toro and how much does Amy Swonger estimate it will cost Trump to
    convince John Thune to consent: <URL:https://www.breitbart.com/2024-election/2024/04/29/navy-wants-to-hire-migrants-to-build-warships/>
    | "What we've got to do is open up the spigot a bit, basically, on
    | legal immigration to allow blue-collar workers to come here ... so
    | they can actually work in our shipyards and be employed by the types
    | of trades that are open to shipyard workers," Navy Secretary Carlos
    | Del Toro told a meeting in Arlington Va.
    |
    | Del Toro's call for migrant shipbuilders comes amid a shipbuilding
    | crisis where many U.S. warships are being delivered far behind
    | schedule, sometimes with deep flaws, Forbes reported in 2021 that
    | the United States:
    |
    || builds less than 10 vessels for oceangoing commerce in a typical
    || year. China builds over a thousand such ships each year. The entire
    || U.S.-registered fleet of oceangoing commercial ships numbers fewer
    || than 200 vessels, out of a global total of 44,000.
    |
    | However, the administration's support for mass migration reduces the
    | pressure on state governments and companies to train the next
    | generation of Americans for skilled jobs.
    |
    | The government's inflow of cheap migrants also provides CEOs and
    | investors with an easy excuse to avoid the difficult task of raising
    | per-person productivity. Boosting productivity usually requires
    | executives to manage a painful mix of training, automation,
    | reorganization, risk, and innovation.

    Will GoIAM.ORG's Bob Martinez endorse Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for WhiteHouse.GOV?

    "A problem with the right is that we don't have a media ecosystem
    that's independent of Trump and his Twitter grifters, which is why
    they're able to work everyone into a lather over nothing. Charlie
    Kirk was one of the only media people who did some actual reporting
    amid all this." - Pedro Gonzalez <URL:https://twitter.com/emeriticus/status/1638172645563793408>
