    see Joe Guzzardi for the Gettysburg Times on who Susie Wiles
    recommends as Donald Trump's campaign surrogate on the National
    Question: <URL:https://www.gettysburgtimes.com/opinion/staff_columns/article_0602a49a-29d6-53a7-8edc-c5a05342d1b2.html>
    | The SVB fallout has been headlines since Day One; the story is
    | evolving. But, behind the scenes, the Biden administration is
    | working feverishly to grant more favors to his tech pals. The tech
    | industry, led by Lyft, Meta, Twitter and Amazon, has fired at least
    | 150,000 workers. Among those laid off were foreign workers in the
    | U.S. on temporary H-1B visas. The visa allows for a grace period of
    | up to 60 days for those laid off to find another employer sponsor or
    | they must return home. Before coming to the U.S., each H-1B visa
    | employee knew and agreed to the guidelines which included the
    | possibility that, if laid off and unable to find another job, they
    | would have to leave.

    Does Wiles worry that Ken Griffin and Lachlan Murdoch will allow Ron
    DeSantis to outflank Trump from right by calling on Kevin McCarthy
    and Mitch McConnell to dismantle the Cheap Labor Lobby's scab worker
    import pipelines?

    "Cernovich will be mauled for this but he's right and both things
    are true: the story of January 6 as an insurrection was always a
    sham *and* Trump had the opportunity to preemptively pardon the
    people who now are in prison or are facing prison but didn't. https://t.co/zNGnTwWaFR https://t.co/bwKDLVmrwd" - Pedro Gonzalez <URL:https://twitter.com/emeriticus/status/1632962894122872832>
