USA was never "homogenous". The first settlers were Filipinos in 1587. The next settlement were slavers in Virginia 1607, they came with black slaves. Genocide of Native Americans created pockets of British colonies. The Irish and Italians and later the Eastern Europeans were not seen as part of the homogenous. In fact, "white" identity in USA is post WW2

@vicharabhio It is not just about eating meat. You can have an unbalanced meal with meat in it as well (as most Pakistanis and Americans do).

@narayananh @DealsDhamaka This makes no sense. If it is the same brand and same model, they're not going to setup an entire supply chain to make subpar quality products to send to India.

beyond a certain net worth, negotiating with people less privileged than you (cab drivers, house help, carpenters etc) causes rot to the soul.

just overpay and move on

@RMantri People don't even share their garam masala recipe. Why do these businesses think they'll get access to cutting edge IP?

@iarjuntandon Any process that is easy can never make you wealthy.

@KesariDhwaj You cannot have a 30 or 40 storey office building that is not climatically sealed.

@AadiAchint China also did not beat their drums before they became strong.

As Deng Xiaoping said "hide your strength and bide your time".

Let's do that.

@smitaprakash China brought US to its knees. We didn't.

So let's watch the drama for 5 mins and get back to work.

I know people in Eswatini with mathematics degrees who are raising chickens (and there is nothing wrong with raising chickens).

But in America, those same skills could earn them hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, perhaps millions over the course of a career in fields such as data science or finance.

So please stop telling me Africa is poor because Africans are not educated enough.

A degree cannot create a job where entrepreneurs are not free to create companies that need your talent.

“If you go to China and get out of the few shiny cities, it gets pretty grim pretty fast.”

Grant Newsham just revealed that China is not the juggernaut it pretends to be.

“In actual fact, it’s a very poor country.”

“There’s 600 million Chinese at least who live on $5 a day or less.”

“Youth unemployment is officially admitted to being about 17-20%, when actual fact is probably closer to 50%.”

@MonaADhar For me it is

1. a small house with a garden
2. space enough for a dog
3. Not in the city, but near enough to have access to decent facilities
4. good food and wine
5. the ability to support this lifestyle

[Apollo @Apollo950934]

@DealsDhamaka Yes. If you go with something like Four Seasons, you will have a good experience. Even though they are not boutique or anything.

It's because "allies" is a polite euphemism for vassals, Prof. McFaul. Vassals are by definition inferiors and subordinates. Flunkies.

In a world where power is the only currency that matters, powerful adversaries are worthy of respect. Vassals aren't. Political Science 101.

@MonaADhar I have never seen anyone share a single slice of cake among multiple people in my life.
