Paying $1,000,000 to be in the waning days of the American Empire is a good bit.

[–] tricerotops@hexbear.net 52 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The Trump Corporate Gold Card is issued to a corporate sponsor for one or more of the sponsor’s employees. To apply, the corporate sponsor must pay a nonrefundable processing fee per employee. Corporate sponsors may apply for multiple employees at once. A $2 million per employee gift upon completion of the employee’s vetting is evidence that the employee will substantially benefit the United States. The advantage of the Trump Corporate Gold Card is that corporate sponsors may cease sponsoring one employee and use the gift contribution tied to the prior application as a basis for sponsoring a new employee without a new $2 million gift. The Trump Corporate Gold Card is subject to a small annual maintenance fee and a transfer fee.

ok so companies can buy a bunch of slots for $2 million each and basically have a perpetual pool of visas that they exclusively own. The employees coming in under these visas appear to have no rights. Depending on what that fee is this could be even more abusive than the h1b system.

Wow they made capitalism even more like serfdom

This submitted just fine but then it wanted me to confirm that Charlie Kirk is human and I couldn't get myself to do it sadness

[–] booty@hexbear.net 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

debatebro-l Technically, he was human and is no longer.

[–] Skye@hexbear.net 11 points 4 days ago

A specter is haunting .gov websites - the specter of Charlie Kirk scared

[–] Flinch@hexbear.net 42 points 4 days ago

someone's gonna pay one million dollars for this, get their little gold card in the mail, and get picked up by ICE a week later, I guarantee it.

no refunds! a-little-trolling

[–] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 44 points 4 days ago (2 children)

they should just make .gov domains open to everyone to register at this point

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 46 points 4 days ago (1 children)

hexbear.gov would be an all time bit

"The Anglosphere's most unhinged tankie website, now officially affiliated with the Anglosphere's most prominent McCarthyists! It's safe to post here about reading your theory and joining the local communist party, we pinky promise!"

[–] vala@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 4 days ago (1 children)

One time I pulled a list of every single registered .gov domain and it was absolutely bonkers what they are already allowing.

[–] booty@hexbear.net 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Any good examples? I just looked it up and the vast, vast majority is just shit like "bumfuckidaho.gov"

[–] vala@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 4 days ago

I don't really feel like going through the list again.

For one example though, this redirects to a .com which seems to be privately owned/managed.

Can't cancel your student loans, can do this. The powers of the president are mysterious and inscrutable.

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 23 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The powers of the President are whatever the currently sitting President feels like they are.

[–] Wheaties@hexbear.net 26 points 4 days ago (2 children)

If you pay 5 million to the government, then for a little more than half a year, you don't have to pay money to the government!

big brain hours

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 10 points 4 days ago

Is the target market for that one Saudi princes or what?

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago

Tax evasion is for rich people.

[–] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 20 points 4 days ago

U.S. residency

You don't even get citizenship lmao. Some European tax havens will give you a a passport for a fraction of the price.

[–] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 11 points 4 days ago

can't wait to see how they use this money

Cmon you know better than that. Trump's going to pocket it all in some unprecedented show of unashamed corruption while daring anyone to do anything about it.

[–] tricerotops@hexbear.net 9 points 4 days ago

what is the usual time for that? 180 days? so how much do you have to make for that 90 days to be worth an extra $4 million?

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 17 points 4 days ago

Wow. I wish I could have one of these just for the novelty. That's history.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 15 points 4 days ago (3 children)

I don't know which I like more - the eagle or the "Footer padding".

Ninja edit: It's a tie.

[–] m532@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 4 days ago

That's a pyramid wearing an eagle mask

[–] rubber_chicken@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Construction of the Eaglemid in the smoking remains of Portland will be the crowning achievement of Trump's third term.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Eaglemid

???

smoking remains of Portland

I just had a funny-dark thought. Trump declares martial law in every blue state and when asked why he says "Because I can."

[–] rubber_chicken@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago

The truncated eagle pictured has a square base. Eagle + pyramid = Eaglemid

[–] segfault11@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

is that the fucking pyramids of egypt in the background

[–] miz@hexbear.net 1 points 3 days ago

some of the mountains in America that haven't yet been targeted for mountaintop removal mining

[–] tricerotops@hexbear.net 25 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

did he just rename the EB-5 green card? cause that's $1 million for residency.

im actually kind of confused. who is this for? the ultra wealthy have always had ways of becoming US residents or citizens. Are there a lot of rich people out there who are not able to get US residency?

[–] elpaso@hexbear.net 19 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

The target market is mafia and autocratic regimes fleeing revolution.
