There's a lot of hate aimed at Indian Hindus in America right now, so seeing posts like this is a good reminder of reality. Plenty of patriotic Americans, like Joe Click here, genuinely respect the Hindu community in the US and appreciate how hard-working, peaceful, and positive Indian origin Hindus are. Always good to see people standing up for decent, law-abiding neighbours. 🇺🇸🇮🇳
🇮🇳 496 MILLION INDIANS.
That’s more than the entire population of the United States and Russia combined.
According to the latest World Bank report, India has lifted an estimated 496 million people above the poverty line between 2011 and now.
The numbers are extraordinary:
Extreme poverty: 27.1% → 2.6%
One of the fastest declines in poverty anywhere in the world.
Think about the sheer scale of that achievement.
A country of 1.4 billion people has accomplished one of the most remarkable poverty reductions in modern history.
There is much more work to do but progress of this magnitude deserves global recognition.
India isn’t just growing economically. Hundreds of millions of its people are moving forward.
And THAT is a story worth telling. 🇮🇳
But Dinesh, the Republican political base has made an enemy out of every Dinesh in America.
H-1B visas are merely the pretext. The real target is the very same LEGAL, law-abiding immigrants who have spent years, sometimes decades, trapped in immigration limbo, waiting for their chance to become Americans.
Their only crime? Following the same legal process you did, just 20 years later.
The same pathway. The same laws. The same American dream.
Yesterday, they were celebrated as the embodiment of legal immigration. Today, they’re vilified as the enemy.
What changed? Not the law. Not the immigrants.
The political narrative changed. And suddenly, doing everything legally wasn’t enough.
I am a second-generation American. I was BORN in the United States. I was raised here. This is the only country I have ever called home.
I grew up believing in mostly conservative principles. Individual liberty, meritocracy, personal responsibility, and the American Dream. I believed these were values worth defending.
But somewhere along the way, something went terribly wrong.
I watched fellow Americans being told they didn't belong because of the immutable characteristics like ancestry. I watched patriotism become a test of ethnicity. I watched people who spent their entire lives loving this country being treated like outsiders in their own homeland.
And perhaps the most heartbreaking part was the silence of people we once considered political allies.
Let me make something absolutely clear.
My American identity is NOT conditional on my skin color. My citizenship is NOT diminished by my surname. And my patriotism does NOT require validation from anyone.
I can disagree with you on immigration, economics, foreign policy, or virtually any political issue. That is democracy.
But I will NEVER entertain a debate about whether I belong in the country where I was born.
No political party is entitled to my unconditional loyalty. Especially not at the expense of my dignity.
I did not come to America. I was born in America.
And I refuse to spend the rest of my life proving that I belong in my own country.
I am an American. Not a guest. Not a foreigner. Not a second-class citizen.
An American. Full stop.
@RajeevSharma00 H1-Bs ONLY have 1 way of coming to the united states and it is the “Legal” way/ the “right” way/ the “fully-documented” way / the “fully-vetted” way
Claude called this feature launch "a solid launch." Enterprise opt-outs were 6.8%, double the average, and it had no way to know.
I'd asked Claude for a results writeup on a launch at a fictional company. It only knew what I'd typed.
Then I connected it to product analytics through MCP and asked: How did last week's Smart Reminders launch do, and what should I do next?
It pulled the data on its own and split the result by segment. Overall adoption was 23% (1,106 of 4,812 workspaces). SMB, 82% of exposed workspaces, adopted at 24.6% with a 1.9% opt-out rate. Enterprise adopted at 15.8% with a 6.8% opt-out rate.
Its verdict: a solid SMB win and a weak enterprise result. Next step: pause the enterprise expansion and interview a few enterprise admins about the opt-outs.
Same model both times. The difference was one connection to the data, and that's step two of building a Personal OS, the harness you build for yourself.
Agent = Model + Harness. The harness is everything that isn't the model.
H-1Bs are good for America.
They help America retain the world’s best talent, fuel innovation, build American companies, and create opportunities for American workers.
The H-1B is arguably the greatest visa program America has ever created.
When the world’s brightest minds build their futures in America, America wins.
