Thoughts on the recent international student caps?
it hasn’t come quickly enough/imo we’re overrun/can’t set foot in a cityside rental without getting outnumbered by their lot/had seventy of them at the last place/indian by the sounds/*smells* you mean/ha-ha/throw them out! next question!/are we being a bit hasty about this stuff/friends working in unis say massive layoffs aren’t far/oh propaganda and fearmongering that’s all/yeah unis know they’ve messed up/they’re just trying to save their golden goose from slaughter/their fault for handing out degrees like chupa chups/these kids are all scammers gagging for residency/personally don’t have anything against them but they need to stop trying to stay after/same I’m not against them coming but students are meant to stay students not try to become citizens/we’re already full!!/that’s exactly right/amen say it louder so they can hear/say it slower because they barely understand words/it’s annoying that’s what/don’t they have to take some sort of language test before they get here though/they scam it like they scam everything else for sure/I spek eengleesh vary vell sir/cue head nods/aggressive head nods are the worst/their like bad knock knock jokes/they can just stay in their third world countries and learn on zoom if they want it that much/another reason to go back to the 60s I suppose/bet they never had to deal with this stuff back then/the good ole days when you could buy a house and land for a goat and three eggs/the good ole days when you might get an infection and die in a week/I mean I think the 60s weren’t that bad/unless you were anything except a rich white man I guess/yep the 60s a time of great land prices and some miscellaneous societal and health concerns/but no international students/!!!!NO INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS!!!!/my grandpa didn’t live through the crap he did for us to suffer now/get a shitty little overpriced rental or wait weeks for a consult/grandad probably didn’t go to a doc those guys were a different breed of tough/true he always said you needed a stomach of steel to leave your home country and make a life in a new one/I have so much admiration for my grandparents who also came here way back when/mine too/mine too/mine too/mine as well/can’t even imagine how hard it must have been for them.
