Contractors from a country that does not give a fig about American politics? So plenty of options are on the table.

But... But... That would go against what their platform says!

/s, I know, but: A platform is a mechanism to obtain power, not a prescription for how power is practiced.

I dunno most contractors like to get paid. I’m not sure but the Trump company does sort of have a history of not paying workers. I’m not arguing whether or not they should’ve. But it is kind of a _thing_

But those would then be immigrants, right? And likely will need to come in under H1B or something. How will owners of that platform react to hiring to immigrants?

> But those would then be immigrants, right?

No?! Why on earth would that be the logical conclusion? This is almost funny in how Americentric these threads become. You can outsource your project elsewhere. It's very common. America isn't the only country in the world that has software engineers who are competent.

MAGA hats were pretty famously made in China. That doesn't mean they were made by immigrants (though, I don't know anything about immigration in China)

[satronaut]

Source on this? I thought they were American made but the manufacturer feared for their life so they never publicly said who made them

[klyrs]

Ah, my mistake. The story doesn't appear to be entirely clear-cut, but the hats labeled 'made in china' are apparently knock-offs.
