@Kate3015 In Singapore, people usually say, “You work till you drop dead.”
And damn, I hated those discretionary right turns. We have a lot of them here.
@RitaPanahi And you want the same retarded orange-man worshippers to lead Australia?
All he was good at was clusterfucking conservative right-leaning politics.
I saw this on News24 today. The anchor was almost thumping his chest, saying that people don’t even know who these guys are.
I told my wife, “What exactly is he so happy about?” People have voted for them, and many will vote for them again, without having absolutely any idea who they are, let alone evaluating them based on their actions.
No wonder we are in such a sorry state of affairs when it comes to choosing our leaders.
I’ve been in tech and finance long enough to have seen several of these cycles. I’ve been axed myself, and I’ve also survived and thrived through others.
I’ve also seen senior management make some absolutely baffling decisions that seem to make no business or economic sense. Jobs get moved out of India, to a very high-cost location, hundreds of employees are let go, and five years later the decision is reversed.
And yes, Australia being a very high-cost location is part of the problem. Labor costs keep rising, and productivity doesn’t rise with them, Australia inevitably has become less competitive.
I think the opposite is possible. With the right policy settings, if we can make Australia even slightly more productive and competitive, some of those jobs can come back, because I have seen that as well.
Large scale manufacturing probably will never come back though.
I went to France 24 home page expecting to read up on the riots last night and see the police and Macron's response. Instead, I kid you not, the lead story (yes lead) is:-
"Indian opposition parties stage mega rally seeking election chief’s resignation."
Why on earth would French people be interested in this?
The next story is "How far will 'Cockroach' movement go? India's youth-led protests defy Modi government" and "India bans march on parliament by ‘Cockroach’ activists, risking a standoff".
Can't see anything on the riots in France on its home page. Absolutely bizarre.
@Zmqp1232@cturnbull1968 That's why I said in my original post, electing democrats will be unfortunate for US.
Many Indians didn't support them in the last election.
This time republicans are having a brain fade moment.
Any country has the full right to decide who comes, how many can come, and how the influx impacts locals.
The US has the full right to stop Indians from coming to the US. It should simply make the policy changes without the rhetoric.
Immigrants who came legally, were vetted, and approved by the US absolutely do not deserve hate from locals for a failure of their own leaders.
That’s all my point was.
I don't think people realise how big a deal this is.
If you have cancer, or somebody you know has cancer, there is a company in Hyderabad that wants to build a personalised cancer vaccine for you.
Try approaching any big pharma company and asking for a personal vaccine. If they even reply to your email, this is the response you'll get: we don't do that here.
PopVax, on the other hand, takes your tumour sequencing data (or a sequence you've designed), designs candidate neoantigen vaccine sequences with their AI pipeline, produces the mRNA, encapsulates it in their LNP formulation, fills vials, and runs QC, all in 8 to 10 weeks. They’re publicly committing to capacity for 100+ of these over the next 12 months and asking people to email them their cancer type/stage and sequencing details.
What a time to be alive.
