How do Indian immigrants make my life better as an American?

Amazon has officially launched 1-hour shipping in US. Over 100 cities!

about to have the best walk of my life

Rich kids in LATAM really have life on easy mode. They get the best of the US without any of the costs, then they come back and run their family businesses that have insane ROIC because rates are so high it keeps foreign capital out.

Trump just posted this on Truth Social. It’s amazing how the Democrats will do anything to make sure that we don’t have the most simple and obvious conversations about immigration.

🇺🇸 An American young man: I am now in Japan. And when I say that I am American, people look at me with contempt and disgust. And wherever I go in the world and say that I am from America, people look at me with hatred. We are now in a state of humiliation. This is disgusting and shameful, simply.

Canadian PM Mark Carney: It’s my strong personal view that the international order will be rebuilt — but it will be rebuilt out of Europe.

If capitalism truly rewarded skill or intelligence, the richest people would be neurosurgeons, engineers, and scientists. If it rewarded talent, it would be artists, writers, and creators. If it rewarded hard work, it would be cleaners, laborers, and service workers. But it’s none of them.

One of Korea’s leading semiconductor scholars, Professor Seokjun Kwon of Sungkyunkwan University’s Department of Chemical Engineering, said in an interview with Korean media today that China could secure advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment approaching extreme ultraviolet, or EUV, lithography tools by around the mid-2030s, despite being blocked from accessing them by U.S. export controls. He said, “We should neither overestimate nor underestimate China’s technological capabilities. We need to assess them coldly and objectively.” Professor Kwon especially warned that Korea should not take the long-term potential of China’s semiconductor industry lightly. He said: “During periods of industrial transformation, technologies that once seemed unlikely to be used can suddenly emerge. That is what disruptive innovation is. China’s electric vehicles are a representative example. China chose EVs as a way to overcome the long-established ‘moat’ built by the U.S. and Japan in internal combustion engine vehicles, and as a result, it has developed world-class technological capabilities. There is no reason the same thing cannot happen in semiconductors. Across China, Huawei fabs and industry-academia cooperation centers are simultaneously developing EUV alternative light sources, optical systems, and PR, or photoresist, materials. If one of these technologies survives, China could quickly move onto a growth curve backed by its enormous domestic market. A crisis could emerge in which Chinese semiconductor equipment, materials, and technologies begin to have a global impact.” Professor Kwon was particularly concerned about the possibility of China developing next-generation lithography technology. “Today, everyone says that cutting-edge processes below 5nm are impossible without EUV. But precisely because of that, EUV, monopolized by the Dutch company ASML, is also an environment highly susceptible to disruptive innovation. China’s accelerator-based light source technology could become the next-generation technology after EUV. A prototype could emerge as early as the mid-2030s. If that happens, even if SMIC remains around ten years behind TSMC and Samsung Electronics, it could eventually enter the single-digit nanometer process regime, meaning advanced ultra-fine process technology.”
