    Morris Dees and $PLC certified deplorable, Jason Richwine on whether
    Donald Trump will attempt to enlist Peter Thiel's VP JD Vance as
    Deputy Chief Sales Critter for Trump's plan to commission Big .EDU
    presidents and deans, desperate to fill American classroom seats and
    laboratory stools with the 8.1B globe's top two quintiles of full-
    freight tuition paying strivers, as privateers poaching for the Cheap
    Labor Lobby: <URL:https://cis.org/Richwine/Eggs-Are-Short-Supply-STEM-Workers-Are-Not>
    | Immigration advocates insist there is a "shortage" of workers in the
    | science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields.
    | Elon Musk famously aired this claim during an intra-MAGA dust-up
    | back in December, but it's not new. As Howard University Professor
    | Ron Hira has observed, "unsubstantiated claims that there is a
    | significant shortage of STEM talent" date back decades. It's an
    | evergreen talking point in service of more immigration.

    Has Donald Trump ordered Susie Wiles to release to Thiel and Vance's WhiteHouse.GOV effort Trump's MAGA marketing research gathered by
    her (and Bill Stepien before her (and Brad Parscale before him)) on
    whether legacy American proles prefer Americans over scab workers
    filling American classroom seats?

    "So why was I on this since the 1980s? Very simply: This wasn't
    study abroad. This was not a US failure in STEM education. This
    wasn't b/c science is 'international'. This was a GIANT security
    hole on a scale no one could discuss because ALL leading US
    universities were gorging." - Eric Weinstein <URL:https://twitter.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1242668872123035649>
