Obama in Cuba

Its wonderful to see Obama in Cuba. Very nice move from a departing president. 2016 is truly a beginning of a new era.

Should India be worried when Trump does not say too many times that Indians are stealing US jobs?

Donald Trump mentioned China, Japan, and Mexico as US job thieves many many times in his presidential campaign. India did not appear too many times in that slot. Just a decade ago Indians were considered the top American job thieves. It is well known that Indian students are among the best in the world. The dot busters of New Jersey feared them. Subsequently, the Silicon valley programmers hated Indians. What happened over the years? How did the fear go away? Mainly because Indians were disposable, faced glass ceilings at corporate and academic jobs, and the fear slowly went away. Indians working abroad mainly have an option of living with glass ceilings and making enough money to retire in India. Very few people can pursue their incomplete careers in India. India has very little room for highly trained scientists. India being a huge market can always have sufficient rich people by just taking care of basic needs of their own people. On the other hand, the medical professionals were among the first people to face discrimination in the global arena. They had no choice but to make it good in India. So now India has a medical care system that can compete with any country in the world which has scope of becoming infinitely better. Indian medicine has not sufficiently tapped in to the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda yet, but it is only a matter of time that Indian medicine will be the best in the world. Space, Medicine, and Nuclear energy, where Indian scientists could not export themselves, are the fields that India has done well. But other fields like Computer science, India is way behind China. In conclusion, India is not in Trump's radar because Indians are no longer taking jobs American want. Moreover, China, Japan, and Mexico took American jobs to their own countries. That makes a whole world of difference.

Islam hates America says Donald Trump

Donald Trump says "Islam hates America" and everyone is shocked and protesting. He is supposed to be crazed. But then in a long time now American policies have assumed that Islam hates America. But they say they are only worried about radical Islam. So when they spy on you or discriminate against you if you are Muslim it is only because they are afraid of radical Islam. To say it like it really is - is disgusting. As we all can see from the protests.

The economic numbers of journalists

Its funny how at presidential debates journalists ask presidential candidates questions like how they will bring in 150 million dollars to save social security. These basic expenses costs nothing. But education, health care, and social security are the first places that corrupt governments will want to go because that will create the sense of poverty very effectively. Regular people then do not see the billions of tax dollars that go in to unwanted wars and stupid deals. I agree with Trump that cutting waste, fraud, and abuse will take care of social security. Bringing back jobs or creating new jobs will be more of a challenge.

The GOP presidential race in 2016

I must say the Republican party has given a lot of choice in this election. Kept it very real with a lot of walls falling. If people do not like political correctness, oh boy! The Republican party debates have been anything but politically correct.

Exit interviews for American companies

Perhaps the American govt could have taken steps to prevent mass exodus of American companies from the country. The only companies America has managed to retain might be the software companies. And we see plenty of govt activity in these companies. Moreover, many politicians are stock owners in these industries.
