America loves jocks, and that's why we don't have any good engineers... or something.
The unholy union between the Trump-loyal MAGA right and the opportunistic grifters of the Tech Right have found their first major clash: H-1B visa policies. As the two groups try to sort themselves out, stumbling acrossAccording to Ramaswamy, “Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence,” and it all dates back to 1990s sitcoms and America’s preference for the jock and prom queen over the “math olympiad champ” or valedictorian.
Frankly, this isn’t even the most egregious example of Ramaswamy’s piss-poor media literacy on display in this tweet. He says “More movies like Whiplash, fewer reruns of ‘Friends,'” presumably because he falls into the camp of people who think the abuse J.K. Simmons’ character levies on his young students inis justified because it pushes them to greatness rather than viewing him as a tyrannical lunatic.
Anyway. What prompted Ramaswamy to break out this take was an ongoing battle about H-1B visas, which allow American companies to hire foreign workers for specialty occupations and have become a commonly used tool in the tech industry to attract global talent.
