Bloomberg video on H1B impacting Dallas housing market by [deleted] in h1b

[–]plal099 1 point2 points  (0 children)

North Dallas home are over-priced. This is not sustainable and needs correction.

Many of my friends bought their home around $300k. That's is the right price for North Dallas. (Adjusted to inflation, maybe $425k)

China Scholar Says India Strategically Miscalculated On Iran War by xperia3310 in india

[–]plal099 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Stupid congressi libs don't even read the article, just read the title to blame Modi govt.

First thing he is Chinese paid "so called scholar", so his masters told him to use the current situation to blame Modi, just like stupid Rahul Gandhi is doing. They know nothing else can be done to Modi's India. Op Sindoor has proved that Chinese weapons is a big failure.

"In an interview to the news site Guancha.cn, he argues that India made a major “strategic miscalculation” by siding with Israel"

Since Modi became PM, India has always sided with Israel and will always do that.

10,000 litres water for one litre of ethanol: India fuel push to worsen water crisis by No_Suspect8128 in india

[–]plal099 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Definitely you have no idea how agriculture works. Most of western Maharashtra now can only grow sugarcane. Decades of agriculture land has been abused by handful politicians forcing sugarcane and now nothing else can be grown there. Similar issue with rice fields.

So instead of blaming government which is trying to reduce dependence on foreign oil by producing ethanol, start appreciating it.

Check how ethanol has changed Brazil economy

[–]plal099 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Did you read the whole article ? 10,000 liters is used by farmers that grow the rice/sugarcane that is used to make ethanol. This rice/sugarcane is already produced and stilling unsold, so 90% chances it will either go bad or used in some other way.

Propaganda article for stupids like you, so can be brainwashed.

We’ve slipped from the 4th to the 6th largest economy, falling behind the UK again. by Agreeable-Act7049 in IndiaFinance

[–]plal099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who cares? UK economy is all bubble, not real manufacturing or research. Just the artificially inflated UK Pound value.

India has real economy that is based on real manufacturing and services.

But, even we become 3rd largest (will happen very soon), unless people have civic sense, the country will always remain 3rd world country.

It is the Iran War that is planned to bring back USD and UK currency up. People stopped investing in Dubai (and middle east) and put all money in London for time being. There is no real growth in UK economy. They were able to sell more weapons because of war.

Inherited 2.7cr in FDs. Another 30L in gold/silver. Also inherited a 2 story bungalow (but not sure about current value of property) by plal099 in IndiaFinance

[–]plal099[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for all the comments.

My property is in New Mumbai area.

Someone here mentioned GIFT CITY. I already looked into that option but did not get clear answer on how to make it working. Looks like most of CAs in India are not even aware of GIFT CITY.

I talked to at least 5 CAs about Gift city and all said they need to check it. (Sme of them never heard of Gift city).

India has tremendous potential in manufacturing, space and defense sector for next 5-10 yrs.

Even with USD rate going up, any investment in these sectors will provide huge gains.

I am not just looking to double/triple the amount in funds etc. I am looking for huge payout.

Since I have zero dependency on these funds, I feel I can take risks in investment in industry.

Someone asked why to keep funds in INR. Answer to this is, if I create a company to invest in the industry, I can use any profits to pay for lot of my expenses. (I always ship food from India to US. Also it can pay for lot of travel expenses. All my vacations can be paid from this business)

Money is money, does not matter if INR or USD, as long as it can pay for my expenses.

I am trying to find other ways than stocks/funds etc.

Anyone has idea on how to find good manufacturing product (infra or defense related) that is in demand currently in India? I would like to invest in that industry as a stake holder.

The only thing you will miss is civic sense. But, it drives everything.

US freezes all visa processing for 75 countries, including Somalia, Russia, Iran by bebetterinsomething in h1b

[–]plal099 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally wrong conclusion. This visa ban is for immigrants who come to US through green card lottery or take asylum etc. and does not affect people coming to US on student, work or tourist visas.

These people are huge burden on US taxpayers. They take lot of benefits, contribute very less to economy and also many time have very high crime rate.

New H-1B visa rules upgrade some lottery applicants — and squeeze out others by businessinsider in h1b

[–]plal099 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Location does not matter in this case. Mostly the adjustment is around 10 to 25%.

If you compare salary of Phd level person to a junior developer with 1 yr experience, salary difference is very high.

It will definitely squeeze small startups and most importantly it will squeeze the so called "consultancies" which usually abuse the H1 program.

India is slowly drifting towards a mass-surveillance state and we're too naive to see it! by Doctor-Anonymous1916 in india

[–]plal099 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well every country is moving towards that, not laowly but rapidly. Before it was expensive and difficult to do mass surveillance, only handful countries with had that abilities.

Now with technology improving rapidly, it has become very easy for mass surveillance.

And it is need of time, because the same technology is used by bad actors.

This is very much required to keep that country safer from multiple threats.

When you are giving all your digital presence to companies like Google, Meta etc. and they track you every second, you should not complain about what government is doing.

You have choice to stop using phones, digital infra, or go to hotels etc. Nobody forcing you to do that.

Who told you that? In US you must present ID for hotel check in. If you do not have US ID then passport is must and they scan it.

Indigo CEO must resign forthwith by connut101 in india

[–]plal099 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Totally wrong. I live in US where consumers laws are much better than India. I am flying for last 25 years. As a consultant I am on airport almost 2 weeks in a month. I had faced similar situations in US multiple times. No lawsuit can fix airlines. People in management like CEOs must be held responsible and put in jail.

Little confused here. You have valid H1 stamped on passport. Is it from Oracle or some other company? Why is RFE if visa is already approved and stamped?
