That, or they'll learn body slamming instead. Either way, interesting times for the US ahead.

And if students would learn body slamming in school (instead of, the more "boring" stuff like science, mathematics, and other nerdy stuff), I guess the headlines "X slams Y" would make more sense.

american students are the smartest in the world! what? standardized test results show them as worst in the world? DUDE, you're breaking kayfabe!

This is off topic, but I wanted to make a joke about Chyna being appointed as the US ambassador to China. But uh, I just found out she has already been dead.

Chyna - Wikipedia

still lives on with how trump says the word China.

chaosghost: Not sure that's how she wants to be remembered by, but a legacy is a legacy, I guess?

faramond: i think some of the schools over there have wrestling as their P.E. but i think it's more of olympic wrestling.
they can also learn history by making analogies to wrestling storylines.
chaosghost : trump would disagree on that.

I mean with how Dana White is also in trump's circle, wrestling is super gonna be important cuz in MMA it's one of the stronger bases to have your foundations in MMA in

so yeah, pencils down, wear your unitard, get on the mat

great slogan hahaha!
trump sure has a lot of weird contact sport connections haha! and yeah, from what i've seen, being a pure striker is hard if you're an MMA fighter.

speaking in RPG terms, even if you start as a striker you need to multiclass at least one level into wrestler so you can get Defensive Wrestling, which lets you know how to stop getting taken down so easily

ukifuneritsu: That'd sound really enticing for the typical American "sporty kid". No more boring classrooms. All classes are now held in the gymnasium, by a former WWE wrestler. History? yeah! get in the ring and learn about the second royal rumble!!!

if you're not built for it, too bad, into the tesla factory you go!

basically if they do remove federal standards and whatnot, you'll see graduates of entire States be passed over for recruitment in favor of graduate ls from States that still value that the world is round, and it's older than 6000 years, and that dinosaurs didn't live alongside cavemen

chaosghost: ehh, I think that'd be true outside the US. inside the US however, since people will no longer be able to "legally get in" (even if they wanted to), I suppose there's still a need for workers, and US workers is all they've got.

the US' lead in R&D and science might disappear, but it would take a while as the talent already in the US would take some time to get out, or might actually be prevented from getting out (if you get out, you won't be able to get back in).

in manufacturing, i don't think you need workers with critical thinking skills. they just need to follow instructions, so it might get by.

chaosghost: good RPG comparison there!

i lol'ed when i saw this too. well, at least the WWE is patriotic USA USA USA!

Someone also pointed out that US unemployment is really low right now, so if they do get rid of all the undocumented workers, there'd actually be no one to physically replace them even if they did accept the long hours and super low pay for it

chaosghost: hmmm~ no worries, Elon Musk is already making the robots

I've heard about 'em. The fake robots with people talking pretending to be robots in that expo

chaosghost: No no no, you don't understand, it's just to pwn the libs. The actual robots are already being manufactured, and will be unleashed in January.
In Musk we trust™

faramond: "Musky papaano, meron kaming robots."

ukifuneritsu: That's such a vile pun!

ukifuneritsu: hampas umariba ka naman

aira_chan: what? is she not the wife of the guy who trump body-slammed back in the day? xD
