Re: Understanding the US - Again

And the forum for discussing our own political developments had to be hived off to a separate resource. Why does it matter to I...

what was the objective of the F-16s and how much did the achieve?
It is quite brave of the PAF to respond with F-16s knowing they'll likely lose some, and they did lose one.

Re: Indian Economy News & Discussion - Nov 27 2017
Touching the slab would mean giving up 12.5k from all taxpayers. That's a bigger hit for revenue.
For the ones who can't get below 5L taxable, Std exemption increased by 10k should help.
80c should be expanded to 2 or 2.5. 2 kids at school means you are already close to or over 1.5

Re: Indian Economy News & Discussion - Nov 27 2017
people whine a lot when inflation is high, but don't appreciate it when it is low.
People get used to things, especially the good things and take it for granted.
There's a reason why parties use fear and outrage to motivate people to vote.

what sort of work were they doing? gas station, subway stuff, or a level below H1 jobs, like $15/$20 per hr chota mota IT contract jobs.
looks like some used up the OPT period and still were not getting a H1 job, or maybe failed in lottery..not sure what is the make up of the cases
