PARAMOUNT x WARNER BROS MERGER ON HOLD

A judge froze the $110B deal after 12 states sued. Paramount agreed to hold closing until 5 days after the cases are decided, or June 1, 2027, whichever comes first.

Two ways this ends badly for staff:

Deal closes. Duplicate teams get merged. Research, streaming, ad sales, comms all exist twice. One side goes.

Deal dies. Paramount eats a $7B breakup fee plus ~$7M a day to WBD shareholders after Sept 30. Cuts come anyway, just without the merger to blame.

Employees know it. One WB veteran said his best outcome is the deal closing, getting cut, and taking 15 months of severance.

Offshoring has been happening for decades, but it is picking up fast.

We published an investigation on this last week. The core finding: no US law requires American companies to disclose the work they transfer offshore.

COGNIZANT CONTRACT WITH IOWA HAS ACTUAL CARVE OUTS FOR H-1B AND OFFSHORING

We got ahold of the contracts the state signed with Cognizant while laying off nearly 200 state workers.

We read all 527 pages so you don't have to. It was shocking to say the least.

On June 10, Governor Reynolds said H-1B visas were "at no point even considered" for the state IT deal, and that Iowa's systems would be "supported by Iowans, for Iowans."

The contract her office signed on June 8 says otherwise:

"H-1B" (or disqualification of Cognizant using them for this contract) appears zero times in 527 pages. "Iowans" also appears zero times. The only immigration clause in the entire agreement is Section 11.1: Cognizant must comply with visa law and run E-Verify. H-1B workers pass E-Verify.

The signed rate sheet has an offshore hourly rate column for "Location 1," identified as India. The rates are already negotiated:

Service desk agent: $60/hr onsite, $18/hr India
Security specialist: $135/hr onsite, $32.62/hr India
Project manager: $146/hr onsite, $37.40/hr India
Solution architect: $160/hr onsite, $45/hr India

Two more offshore columns sit blank, marked "Specify Location."

The job guarantee for the laid-off Iowans is real, BUT it only lasts one year. Cognizant checked a box agreeing to "offer employment with compensation not less than current compensation to all affected staff and guarantee employment for at least one year." Its planning documents count "all 225 resources" including contract workers. Nothing in the contract protects a single job after year one. If a worker declines the offer, Cognizant sources "qualified replacement personnel" with no location specified.

Cognizant also checked a box agreeing to "transform the State of Iowa's IT infrastructure and end user services practice through the application of AI and other advanced automation techniques." Its proposal lists a service desk outcome in writing: "Agentless/no human experience and resolution."

Citizenship requirements exist only for regulated data: federal tax records, criminal justice data, health records, Social Security data. Everything else has no citizenship or location requirement at all. Routing regulated data access through personnel outside the United States is permitted with the state's prior written consent.

196 state IT employees lose their state jobs for good in two weeks. Cognizant takes over August 4. On July 9, the Department of Labor Inspector General named Cognizant in the Project Firewall visa fraud investigation, citing whistleblower concerns.

Iowa will pay $339.2 million to Cognizant and $80.4 million to AWS, $419.7 million total over ten years.

@Cognizant stock is down nearly 50% YTD $CTSH

What do you have to say for yourself, Governor Reynolds? @IAGovernor

$AIRCOIN is quietly doing exactly what strong projects do… climbing while most people are still distracted.

Hope you’re paying attention, because the next few weeks could get wild.

The foundation is being built. The community keeps growing. Momentum is picking up.

Don’t say nobody told you.

💨 $AIRCOIN on Solana.

We're striving to build a memecoin and ecosystem where everyone can win 🏆

$Aircoin is for everyone 🌎

We've built so much and will keep building. It's been 11 months since our CTO. What started as a retail narrative memecoin that relies on nothing but community has evolved into a massive project aimed at bettering the @solana memecoin ecosystem.

Airlock is our rewards/lock feature, which puts supply control in the hands of the community. We're the only memecoin where supply control can grow. Currently, our community has locked 42% of all Aircoin.

Windy is our fast-growing SoFi platform tailored to Solana builders, creators, and communities. @windysofi does EVERYTHING you want to see on a decentralized memecoin social platform. It's only getting better every day.

We're launching our next project this summer with an airdrop to $Aircoin holders and Windy users. This is a forever project. No team tokens. No dev tokens. When the token is used, it will be burned, making it deflationary. Most fees from the token platform will fund prizes as well as $Aircoin buybacks.

Everything we do is for the community. This is a CTO. Nobody is on payroll. No investors requiring ROA.

@SolidTradesz wants a generational wealth play. Well, we're looking for that type of person. If you're chasing 5-minute hype, PFP, or hood tokens, GL. If you're looking for a mid- to long-term 1000x, make sure to DYODD and spend some time researching the Aircoin Global Ecosystem 📚

Everyone complained in the trenches on #SOLANA about the lack of transparency in the launchpads, the vamping of liquidity and the lack of community building tools.

We listened to all the complaints, and instead of just complaining along with everyone we went out and attempted to build and fix and provide the tools users needed, wanted and are now using!

Those that are in the know are utilizing https://t.co/fBWaxOwKTP making their trench experience 100x better. Every... Single... Day.

The question now becomes, "Do I keep complaining and do nothing?" or "Do I join the revolution that is true SoFi on SOLANA."

Trade, Tip, Rain, Airdrop and more all on one easy to use social platform powered by Verified, Whitelisted Tokens on Solana. $AIRCOIN was here first.
