America has lost ~$450 billion from outsourcing IT to India in the last 6 years alone. I've worked through 15 different technology implementations for healthcare providers over the past 6 years. Small scale to enterprise level. While the data is clear on the amount of foreigners that have been given US based tech employment, what it precariously omits is the enormous scale of reliance on offshored labor. This is an opaque process to most people, even corporate Americans don't understand what is actually happening. Every single project I was involved in used Indian consultants. Scrum masters, data analysts, DevOps & SWEs, project managers - all Indian. The service team - call center reps, client managers, Their work was horrific and constantly needed micromanaging. It would take 6 Indians to complete a simple SQL pipeline for SFTP prep that an American dev could solo in half the time. Project documentation was atrocious, filled with grammatical errors making it largely undecipherable. Deliverables were always late. Firms like Deloitte, Accenture, PWC, EY, Optum and Huron all have what PWC calls "acceleration centers" where these people are employed. Primarily in India, but also in Malaysia, the Philippines and Mexico. Massive corporate buildings that cram thousands of these people to do work that would require 1/10 of the amount of Americans. I often wondered, why? The answer is simple - build a deliverable that (barely) functions but breaks enough to keep the client engaged long term. The money isn't in the project, but all the servicing behind it. Using offshore labor allows these companies to arbitrage labor cost exponentially, meaning massive profitability for shareholders. Example: A company pays Deloitte $400k to build a new inventory software system. After it’s live, they sign a 5 year support contract for $180,000 per year so Deloitte’s team fixes problems, updates it, and keeps it running. That turns a $400k project into $1.3 million total revenue for Deloitte over time. But the devil is in the details. Mostly all of development work for the inventory software is done offshore in India, where Deloitte’s developers cost the firm about $25k–$35k each instead of using American developers who cost $110k–$150k each. In that same $180k per year support contract, Deloitte will use offshore teams in India (costing the firm ~$15k–$25k) instead of Americans (who cost ~$90k–$120k). Every offshore hire means roughly $60k–$90k in American wages that never enter the U.S. economy. Over 5 years that’s $750k–$1.2m+ in lost U.S. wages that will never enter the American economy, from one single project. Scaling of this issue is imperative. An estimated 150,000 projects have been completed by professional firms since 2020. Low end: 150,000 × $750,000 = $112.5 billion High end: 150,000 × $1,200,000 = $180 billion However, these are only first order effects. If we account for second order (wages supporting local economy and everything downstream) we can conservatively estimate a 1x-1.5x multiplier so the real cost for America looks more like this: Low end: $112.5B × 2.0 = $225 billion High end: $180B × 2.5 = $450 billion $35-70 billion per year on IT outsourcing alone. Professional companies are expanding very rapidly on this front, largely through AI marketing slop to blissfully unaware boomer corporate executives, embedding their useless AI into their bread and butter - outsourced service model. There are virtually no indicators that anyone will do anything about this.

This is really pulling the mask off. The previous narrative was "late ballots always lean toward Democrats, it's just demographics" But now we are seeing that late ballots always lean toward the specific Democrat who needs more ballots. That is not possible.

@Babygravy9 It's important for this to not go down like 2020. Fire hoses, tear has, live ammunition. Public statements that the full weight of the government supports self-defense and defense of property.

You can bet money that activist organisations, including BLM, are planning a serious chimpout for when Karmelo Anthony is convicted of murdering Austin Metcalf. They'll claim the entire case was racist, and they'll point to the fact there isn't a single black juror--despite the fact all potential black jurors said they wouldn't or couldn't convict him--as evidence Karmelo Anthony is George Floyd, Emmett Till, Breonna Taylor, yah yah yah.

COLLIN COUNTY- “He was NOT an aggressor, Karmelo was not an aggressor, he was minding his damn business when them boys came up to him” A Karmelo Anthony supporter passionately defends him stating that he is innocent and was simply acting in self-defense. She got extremely aggressive and angry as media began to swarm one of the Austin Metcalf supporters that walked over with his American flag. @Savsays | @TPUSA

@Babygravy9 Replacement rate is nominally 2.1 to account for childhood accidents and gender imbalance in births, but for India it's probably significantly higher because of trains and power lines

A thread on how Emily Wilson misinterprets the killing of the 12 slave women, inverting the poem's logic, and making Odysseus and Telemachos monsters that execute innocent rape victims, rather than protectors of the victims and punishers of rapists and their accomplices. 1/18

Here’s an example of the anti-White incentives placed on schools. Imagine an otherwise excellent school with attainment 8 scores of: • 42 for Black/Caribbean students (above average) • 51 for White students (above average) Ofsted could downgrade the school from “Outstanding” to “Good” because of the high attainment gap of 9 (national average is 4.9), even though both groups are scoring above average. But… If the school posts the same score of 42 for Black Caribbean students and White students achieve a lower score of 48 (6 point gap), the school would be more likely to receive their highly coveted “Outstanding” rating. A compounding factor is the fact that Ofsted uses ‘White British’ children as the benchmark. So Chinese and other higher-performing groups can receive all the help in the world and their high scores won’t negatively impact the school’s Ofsted report. It is only White children that find themselves tethered to lower-performing ethnic groups. Basically the lower the White British attainment score, the better the school’s Ofsted report will be.

Communists control every lever of the state and every institution has been redesigned to disenfranchise White people. Schools prioritise black and brown students over your children. They have attainment gap targets and “anti-racism” frameworks which means that resources, teaching time, mentoring programs, etc are all geared towards helping black students whilst your child is left behind. In fact, because schools are judged on the gap between ethnic groups, the school is incentivised to produce lower grades for White students. When your child applies to university, again, black and brown students will get priority and your child’s application goes straight to the bottom of the pile. If they do get in, all of the support, mentoring and “inclusive” bursaries go to the black/brown students. When they apply for a job it’s the same story, they’re at the bottom of the pile. If they manage to get a job they face mandatory unconscious bias training, diversity targets, “positive action” schemes and ethnicity quotas. If they go for promotion they’ll be beat by an ethnic on a fast-track program because the company wants “better black representation in management positions”. If they complain about any of this, at any point, they’ll be called racist and life at their school, college, university or workplace will become a living hell. They will be told they have ‘White privilege’. It’s heartbreaking to imagine what psychological damage this is having on our children. Demoralised at every step of their young lives… by the state. And we all know what happens if they come in contact with the police. Media, entertainment, the government and public messaging all reinforce this new hierarchy. We need to collectivise whilst we still have the numbers to do so. We need a government that is willing to drag these people out of our institutions and then put the British people first.

@LimaRis213 @C0NV3XXX @TatsuyaIshida9 These are women who committed suicide to avoid being mass raped. You think this is good because you're a sadistic mutant, and communist talk about making things better is window dressing to your real goal, of getting to be a sadistic mutant. The USSR deserved so much worse

It was terrible Mr Vice President what happened. And lessons will be learned. But here’s a thought - maybe concentrate instead on why 44000 Americans died last year from gun related deaths, and what can be done about your dreadful disease before you start lecturing others
JD Vance@JDVance

Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it. Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won’t be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response—the only response—is righteous anger. One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse. It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobody—nobody—should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul.
