The Night of the Dull Sporks has begun

And by that I mean the Rightoids are eating each other.

It all started when President Musk said Immigrants maybe werent so bad.

Naturally the Puppet from the Saw series(that happened to be blowing Dementia Daddy) chimed in

Which led to Chuds being big mad

Which being us to President Musk's austistic butt not backing down.

He speaks with such unearned authority that he does not have. He is not a politican. He's an insecure loser incel who works for Putin. God I hate this 3 year old XXL tub of rancid mayonnaise. I hope he pushes it until trumps ego implodes and he does something stupid so Putin has to intervene. They're all just Russian assets anyway.

"free markets fail" does not come close to implying that "free markets should be managed with a firm and steady hand" - this is just Nirvana fallacy. And this context (h1b hiring) is a particularly spectacularly bad example to justify regulation, because you have obvious motivated reasoning from morons explaining why tech companies can't actually be trusted to hire employees properly. If a DEI grifter said that not having your 15% of your SWEs be obese black lesbians represented a "market failure" we would treat these words as some sort of magical argument-winning bullet, we would instead realize that this was just a convenient excuse from someone who doesn't actually have a vested interest in the success of the organizations that they're prescribing advice to.

No, development of healthcare.gov was a market failure. Countless horror stories from the trenches represent market failures. It's not comparable to your strained analogy, when someone complains that 15% of coworkers are sexy Indian dudes now which is bad because, it just is, okay? It's people complaining that cleaning shit up after sexy Indian dudes takes more effort than if they wrote it themselves in the first place.

Then, we know that imperfect information is like the textbook cause of market failures https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Market_for_Lemons and so on, and we can observe it at work here: ordinary programmers can grumble about sexy Indian dudes over a beer all they want, but they won't do that where the upper management can overhear them, so the CEOs don't know, the stockholders don't know, nobody tells them because nobody wants to be called a racist and blacklisted from the industry.

So for example we have this funny situation right here, with all the shit that is being flung at Elon, somehow nobody says in the open that sexy Indian dude programmers suck. The elephant in the room is completely unmentioned. Your counter-argument, that firms are perfectly capable of taking into account long term effects of incompetent programmers, is your own invention because you have never seen it in the wild because nobody has called sexy Indian dude incompetence out in the first place.

So yeah, I'm not very optimistic.

Ordinary programmers literally can go and short companies that hire jeets, start competing jeet-free companies, etc. The idea that the market cannot convey this signal does not pass the laugh test, and arguments to the otherwise are literally the "am I out of touch? no it's the people who actually have direct financial incentives to be correct that are all wrong" Skinner meme.
