Sean Strickland clapped again at Donald Trump aide Vivek Ramaswamy after the outspoken conservative from Ohio commented on America’s alleged tendency to embrace mediocrity over excellence.
Ramaswamy, who based the pharmaceutical firm Roivant Providers in 2014 and has a reported internet price of a billion {dollars}, lately supplied his tackle why tech firms are extra inclined to rent foreign-born engineers over Individuals.
In accordance with Ramaswamy, the American tradition has “venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long.”
“A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers,” he wrote.
Ramaswamy then proceeded to try to additional make his case by pointing to a slew of 30-year-old sitcoms from ABC’s lineup of TGIF programming.
“A culture that venerates Cory from ‘Boy Meets World,’ or Zack & Slater over Screech in ‘Saved by the Bell,’ or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in ‘Family Matters,’ will not produce the best engineers.”
To be honest, Zack Morris went on to change into the Governor of California whereas each Corey Matthews and AC Slater turned lecturers at their respective alma maters. And Laura Winslow finally selected Steve Urkel over ‘Stefan.’
So there goes your complete argument, Mr. Ramaswamy.
Respectfully, Sean Strickland disagrees
Responding to Ramaswamy’s publish, the previous UFC middleweight champion positioned the blame squarely on the shoulders of billionaires like him who’ve made life tougher for blue-collar American households by importing labor to cut back overhead prices and hoarding their earnings as an alternative of placing that cash again into the economic system.
“Billionaires are the problem.. You put profits over people and patriotism,” Strickland wrote on X. “I’m not religious but if there ever was a devil he works through big business. Imported labor, devalued wages, hoard money. Absolutely ruined the family unit for profit. Massive wage gaps Parents work 20 hours a day and then say “go put your kids in science camp.”
“You’re so out of touch with the reality and struggles of what a family goes through…. The level of manipulation and brain washing that billionaires have infected this country with…. You’re the problem…”
On November 12, 2024, President-elect Donald Trump introduced that Ramaswamy and Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk had been tasked to steer the newly proposed Division of Authorities Effectivity. The purpose of the DOGE is to restructure the U.S. federal authorities by eradicating rules to cut back expenditures and improve authorities effectivity.
Regardless of displaying his disdain for billionaires, Strickland appears lots excited to see Musk — the richest man on this planet — fully “gut the government” as soon as Trump is sworn again into the White Home on January 20.
