It is reasonable for A and B to not like each other, yet both A and B favor C. The moment we reduce reasonableness to consistency, we run into issues. That's why we have judges, courts, etc; otherwise, just an algorithm would solve pro

The other major factor: exporters from foreign countries don't want to exchange real goods with Zimbabwean dollars. However, all countries in the world want to exchange real goods with American dollars or Euros. That's the advanta

This game of getting OPT,CPT, H4-EAD candidates and putting them though some boot camp and free housing is at least 24 years—remember Y2K and dot com. Indian and Chinese international students in the USA know about it.

Indian offshoring companies like Wipro, TCS, etc pay $500 per month for fresh graduates from the engineering colleges, where lecturers are incompetent. In a team of 10, only two are capable, all others are for billable hours for these compa

Revolving door and prosecutorial discretion is one kind of legally authorized corruption. That's why when one files a complaint with FBI/DOJ/etc, it will be leaked immediately to the higher echelons of FAANG companies. Why do
