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 value of a billion {dollars}, not too long ago provided his tackle why tech corporations are extra inclined to rent foreign-born engineers over Individuals.
In line with Ramaswamy, the American tradition has “commemorated mediocrity over excellence for manner too lengthy.”
“A tradition that celebrates the promenade queen over the maths olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, is not going to produce one of the best engineers,” he wrote.
Ramaswamy then proceeded to attempt to additional make his case by pointing to a slew of 30-year-old sitcoms from ABC’s lineup of TGIF programming.
“A tradition that venerates Cory from ‘Boy Meets World,’ or Zack & Slater over Screech in ‘Saved by the Bell,’ or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in ‘Household Issues,’ is not going to produce one of the best engineers.”
To be honest, Zack Morris went on to turn into the Governor of California whereas each Corey Matthews and AC Slater grew to become academics at their respective alma maters. And Laura Winslow in the end selected Steve Urkel over ‘Stefan.’
So there goes your whole 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 scale back overhead prices and hoarding their income as an alternative of placing that cash again into the economic system.
“Billionaires are the issue.. You place income over individuals and patriotism,” Strickland wrote on X. “I’m not spiritual but when there ever was a satan he works via large enterprise. Imported labor, devalued wages, hoard cash. Completely ruined the household unit for revenue. Huge wage gaps Mother and father work 20 hours a day after which say “go put your youngsters in science camp.”
“You’re so out of contact with the truth and struggles of what a household goes via…. The extent of manipulation and mind washing that billionaires have contaminated this nation with…. You’re the issue…”
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 aim of the DOGE is to restructure the U.S. federal authorities by eradicating rules to scale back expenditures and improve authorities effectivity.
Regardless of displaying his disdain for billionaires, Strickland appears a lot excited to see Musk — the richest man on the earth — completely “gut the government” as soon as Trump is sworn again into the White Home on January 20.
