      @JoshJohnsonComedy No one ever seems to remark so I am going to; Thank you for having a sign language interpreter signing at your live shows. For the disabled this is such a huge gift and opens up the world of standup comedy to so many more to enjoy. Your mother did a fine job of raising her son and I'm sure many viewers wish they had a son as amazing as you.
      May the new year bless you and all your loved ones 🙏🕊️✌️

      I lived in SA (Pretoria East actually - every near to where Elon grew up) in the late 1990s and then a few years ago. Played rugby against Pretoria Boys too a few times. As a former SA private boys school kid who partied and played rugby with Afrikaners every weekend - you have to understand that this guy has never been been exposed to anything else but servants if you are looking for some kind of empathy there for some kind of just world.

      Completely untrue! Black people get away with murder in America, they are given everything for free, given passes when they break laws, etc. They don’t try to better themselves because the scams that they run keep working.
      All of this racism and many other cultural problems in America are because of the Rothschilds/Israel influence being pushed on us from a very young age. AIPAC owns over 90% of seats in congress and most DA’s , judges, etc.
      They are what causes us division, not whites being racist. Whites are the only people on earth that aren’t racist, although that is changing now that everyone is figuring out the truth. Whites have never been loyal to their kind like every other race is.

    Great conversation. I work in tech and have seen both sides of the H1B issue. I have had a lot of great coworkers that were here because of H1B, and I have seen a lot of US citizen workers laid off because they cost too much, then replaced with lower cost H1B workers that can be pressured to work more for less.
    It’s almost like the H1B isn’t the problem. It’s the companies abusing the system to exploit workers for their bottom line.
    H1Bs are ostensibly to be used when companies “can’t find workers with the right skills”. How it’s used in practice is “we can’t find the right skills for the below market rate we want to pay.”

      Or a company will make it very hard to apply for the position, or include required skills that are totally bogus.
      I've seen places hiring for jobs in Texas that run an add in the newspaper in a small town in Iowa, requiring you to apply via mail or fax.
      Or another company that included the ability to repair a certain model of printer from 20 years ago on every job posting, regardless of type of position (Software Engineer, General IT, Project Manager, etc)... And posted said job postings to a site that listed the job details in a 1" tall scrolling text box with 6pt font.

      The issue could be resolved by simply respecting a proper minimum wage for the position. If entry for an American hire is $25/h, for example, then entry for the H1B hire should also be $25/h. Any imbalance is going to cause problems, as we are seeing, so something needs to be done.

      I love the two levels: if you are young you just hear the African part and it's funny, and if you are old, you remember Afrikaners are the racist Dutch colonizers that owned all the land and resources and kept black South Africans segregated and getting lower quality services, if at all, despite being the majority. And, on top of it all, when the whole world was shouting at them, desegregate or you will never do business outside your country again and the South Afrikaners were just like Musk: lost in their own egos and self-righteousness.

      ​​​@@vivil2533 ASL has it's own inflections the same way spoken English does! It comes across more in signing during songs/concerts: saw a Pearl Jam concert once where they had an ASL interpreter signing along the entire time and she was having so much fun. Visually it looked like she was conducting an orchestra. A college friend's sister was an interpreter for decades before having to retire with carpel tunnel syndrome; conveying verbal inflection is a lot more physically nuanced than "textbook" ASL in the same way conversational Japanese is vastly different than textbook. It might sound like you're saying less but once you get the inflections down (hard for anyone not raised with a primary language that's less tonally nuanced, but not impossible) you can get stuff across a lot easier.

      Absolutely. I saw the minute he went on Joe Rogan the very first time the ego switch. He saw the normal dudes were interested in what he did, he was probably tired of the weight of the responsibilities and dealing with the regulation authorities so he began to act up and a certain crowd responded a certain way so he went all in on trying to seem like "I'm cool guys I'm totally into what you're saying" and basically is who ego combined with whatever that massive sinkhole in his heart is morphed into the Elon we now know. Pre 2019 Rogan interview Elon and Post interview are two totally different people. The new one you can blatantly tell is trying to just cram a void full of the acknowledgement and acceptance he never got up till this point even after all he had accomplished.

      Ive been saying it for quite some time - Josh is on track to become this generation's Carlin. His style, pacing and comedic timing are still not as keenly developed as Carlin at his best, and the result is a lull and loss of interest in small pockets of his act. But thats simply a question of time and experience.
      The pace at which he develops new, topical material is truly amazing, and is a sign of genuine comedic (and social commentary) genius. I suspect that one reason for the "lulls" is that he is still refining the script, and doesnt know which parts will land and which can be dropped. In any case, as a geezer who grew up with George Carlin (as in, back to the Carson era), I cant wait to watch Josh evolve in the same way.

A coworker of mine didn't believe that there's coyotes, in Illinois. I told him "Man, you have to get out of the city, more often." At any time of the day or night, I can look out any window and see a variety of wild animals. Coyotes, foxes, pheasant, deer, groundhogs, buzzards, hawks, an occasional eagle, and somewhat more rare, we even see a wolf or two. People really need to get back in touch with nature. Way too many people still think that chocolate milk comes from brown cows. 😂
      I'd also like to mention the surprised look on city-dweller's faces, when they come through here, break down, and people stop to help them. A lot of them think that they're about to get robbed. 😂 Nope, it's just a small town, where people still look out for each other.

I graduated with my bachelors degree, graduated manga cum laude, have multiple awards, worked in hospitality for 9 years, won awards, became a manager, I had to leave that job due to personal reasons but now that my family affairs are handled I am looking to go back to work. I’ve been applying since November, I’ve been on multiple interviews (all seemed promising and went well) but I can’t get hired. I’m so confused because they always seemed impressed with my experience and knowledge and education and yet I’m not getting called back. I cried to my mom and asked what is wrong with me and she said “there is absolutely nothing wrong with you, society is the problem. These companies are hiring their relatives who don’t even have the same qualifications as you and are usually dumb as hell”. And here you are reconfirming this 😮‍💨

They can be sued for not having provided *qualified interpreter/s for him already. And if your state has licensure, 'qualified' means licensed AND with the appropriate level of licensure to interpret live stage performances.
      So, yes, your local comedy place DOES provide qualified interpreter/s upon request... by federal (& state?) laws, if they're following them... They just may not know it... yet.

I’m a college student and would like to move out of my parents’ place, however, a studio apartment with a single separate bathroom is 1725$ a month + utilities. Gas can be anywhere from 3-8 dollars depending on the state, we have to pay tuition for public colleges and that’s a lot of money, and Americans are usually straddled with a lot of debt. It also sucks that jobs pay fuck all over here too. I work at a place that pays nicely for my age, but I’d worked a job that paid below minimum wage for a year.

      Its the same right now in Silicone Valley, look at the demographic statistics for every major company’s tech department. The worst part of H1B visas for me is that the business loses all incentive to hire Americans, and the culture shifts where literally people are only hiring others from their own country, speaking a foreign language in meetings, enforcing their own social customs even if they go against the company's values (say an asian senior eng who believes their opinion is more important than a juniors because theyre the elder, or expecting the juniors to speak softly or show deference again simply due to seniority), playing foreign games in happy hours and generally excluding the Americans. Ive even noticed elements of socialist mindset play out in how promotions and accolades are doled out in these H1B visa majority orgs - its fascinating. Ive seen it happen repeatedly and spoke to many American engs (many who could be ethnically the same as the H1B visa hires but have very little in common with them culturally and so also get bullied) who feel left out and confused when theyre suddenly transported to another country and expected to follow its cultural rules. Its a serious issue imo.

      Some people have a myopic view of what city people are like. The “truth” is somewhere in the middle. Many people in big cities, like NYC and LA, are transplants from flyover states, rural areas and other parts of the country and world. They grew up in that rural life and left that life behind for the big city. The city folks that can’t identify where water comes from are the caricatures that represent big city elites. It’s not that they don’t know where water comes from, moreso they don’t need to know. If the apocalypse ever happens, city folks will find a way to fend for themselves. The poor and immigrant city folks will fight and scratch to survive because that’s what they’ve always done, especially the immigrants from rural places in their home countries who know how to live off the land. The transplants will use their skills and “Midwest nice” to help the helpless and hapless. The rest will die off. Survival of the fittest being the end game.

      In an effort to try to get a story out, media will cut out anything they don't deem worthy of a story, and one of the first things is motive. If some crime is committed, they don't include the backstory of how never having a chance led to a string of unsuccessful jobs and eventually desperation, but they sure as hell will include the race of the suspect.
      So many people have so little clue what that struggle is like, and how much harder you have to work than everyone else to get the same thing, and so they just believe it must be a racial thing.
