THREAD 🧵
Everyone keeps asking the wrong question.

“Why don’t Republicans just nuke the filibuster and pass the SAVE Act / Trump’s agenda?”

Because there is a misunderstanding of how power actually works in America.

Let’s break it down properly.

(Note I had to do some reading to understand the pros and cons - read the thread and let me know what you think) 1️⃣ What people get wrong about 2013 and 2017 Democrats in 2013 nuked the filibuster only for executive and lower-court nominees.
Republicans in 2017 extended that precedent only to Supreme Court nominees.
Both were about confirmations — not legislation.
That distinction matters more than anything else in this debate.

President Trump's Executive Orders combatting the GLOBALISTS Agenda!

A thread 🧵🧵🧵 1. Withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO)

Trump has signed an executive order to withdraw U.S. funding from the WHO, which critics argue has been co-opted by globalist interests to push agendas not aligned with U.S. sovereignty or interests.

What's Your Plan for the Next Four Years Under the Trump-Vance administration?

Here's How to Capitalize on New Policies - Snap into Action!"

🧵🧵🧵 1/ Reduction in Regulatory Burdens

The Trump-Vance administration is expected to significantly cut regulations across various sectors, aiming to reduce the regulatory cost by at least $6,300 per year per American family as mentioned in Trump's campaign promises. This policy could streamline business operations, lowering compliance costs and speeding up market entry.

Opportunities:
Home-based Consulting Services: With fewer regulations, starting a consulting business in areas like compliance or business strategy could be easier. Startup cost: $500-$2,000. Diversify by offering services in multiple industries.

Local Food Trucks: Less regulation might simplify food service licensing. Startup cost: $10,000-$50,000. Scale by franchising or expanding to event catering.

Handmade Crafts Online Store: Start on platforms like Etsy with minimal regulatory oversight. Startup cost: $100-$1,000. Diversify product lines or collaborate with other artisans.

Freelance Services: Use platforms like Upwork for marketing, writing, or design. Startup cost: $0-$500. Scale by hiring other freelancers or specializing in niche services.

Mobile Car Detailing: Reduced regulations could ease zoning and environmental compliance. Startup cost: $1,000-$5,000. Expand by adding services or moving into auto repair.

Strategic Approach: Always stay updated with regulatory changes and ensure your business practices align with the new norms to prevent future compliance issues.

Here's a thread 🧵 🧵 🧵 on the H-1B visa, its history, usage implications, root causes and some solutions: 1/ History and Creation of the H-1B Visa

The H-1B visa was established through the Immigration Act of 1990, signed by President George H.W. Bush. This legislation aimed to address labor shortages in specialized fields by allowing U.S. employers to hire foreign workers for "specialty occupations" requiring at least a bachelor's degree or equivalent. The initial cap was set at 65,000 visas annually, but this was adjusted over the years due to demand:

1999-2000: The cap was temporarily increased to 115,000.
2001-2003: It was further increased to 195,000.
Post-2004: Returned to 65,000, with an additional 20,000 visas for U.S. advanced degree holders.

The rationale was to equip the U.S. with a workforce capable of advancing innovation, particularly in technology, science, and engineering sectors where there was a perceived domestic talent shortage. This is supported by data from the U.S. Department of Labor indicating that from 2007 to 2016, 60% of H-1B applications were for computer and mathematical occupations, highlighting the tech industry's significant influence on the visa's utilization.
