US bureaucracy will continue to have people with anti India and anti Hindu mindset. Once you add in pro pakistani administration to the mix and problems would prop up on a regular basis.

The US budget for FY2021 has not been approved. There is a Continuing Resolution (CR) until 11 Dec 2020. If Biden wins in November, expect another CR until the 3rd week of Jan 2021.

Folks - my question was not to trigger an election discussion but more towards understanding the political mindset of the voters in the US.

It will come down to if Trump supporters vote in large numbers. In most polling, Biden will win if he is ahead by twice the Margin of Error (MoE). At this time, Biden will win Michigan and Wisconsin. Pennsylvania is very close, but Biden will win it as the Green Party is not on the ballot since the ...

Folks what's up with these poll numbers every poll is showing biden up by 5pc or more but the crowds at trump's rallies are huge. What's this paradox?

Mainly it forces companies who use H-1B to pay higher salaries. The renewal rejection rate for H-1B and L-1 will increase. If the administration was serious, they would have done it in 2017 instead of an election stunt.

CA has gone off the deep end. Particularly the Bay Area. The middle class can’t afford to live there. CA as a whole is now experiencing middle and lower income people leaving the state.

36 Rafales need to be ordered and 200 Tejas Mk1 and Mk1A. The cost effectiveness of production on the Tejas won't be realized until there are over 100 ordered and put into production. The GoI has been dragging its feet on placing these orders while shopping for other foreign arms.

There is a reason why USCIS is processing the backlog. Rejection rate for renewal of H-1B and L-1 visas has increased considerably.

Of Covid patients, 41% don’t develop sufficient antibodies. Regeneron claims it signifcantly helps those people and lessens the viral load. Trump having multiple comorbidities, and with this drug being given to him, indicates that multiple scientists and doctors think it will be helpful.
