FOULING THEIR OWN NEST, AND THEN FLEEING IT:

FUN FACT: Zuckerberg's wife, Priscilla Chan, donated $750,000 to oppose the recall efforts against Newsom in 2021

Obviously they have the money to flee the consequences of their bad decisions, unlike most Californians https://t.co/irVtx7S5l1

SHOCKER:

Turns out, when you deport 500,000 people and 2 million more voluntarily go home, Americans line up for the jobs they were doing—and companies have to pay them more! How Trump repudiated the Democrats' addiction to cheap labor: https://t.co/FL8HJMuhwk pic.twitter.com/0n6Oybswsz

THE HORROR. THE HORROR.

You know how many jobs I’ve worked where I didn’t get to eat for 8-12 hours?
