I wouldn't trust those buffoons, Alvind and Krabanaugh to run a public toilet in the middle of NYC, let alone the family buffet. [00:59] schestowitz[TR2] Alvind needs to spend some quality time in the company of the gangstas in El Salvador prison. The experience will give him a whole new meaning about Red Hat after he becomes someone's girlfriend or beetch before being sent home to Uncle Modi.

[00:59] schestowitz[TR2] I wouldn't trust those 2 buff00ns to run a family budget. [00:59] schestowitz[TR2] I understand there is a premium but 11 billion? And that Red Hat mess. Paying 34 billion should have stripped Alvind of Citizenship and sent back to India.

They are complaining that they will lose their US jobs as many work in position that have data restrictions that they cannot work in other countries. [17:14] schestowitz[TR2] They are moaning Thats such a bad timing especially considering so many who are travelling for holiday season right now, especially in India. [17:14] schestowitz[TR2] As a reminder, IBM, headed by an Indian CEO (like Google, Microsoft, etc), had (and has) ZERO ISSUES firing thousands of US employees right before US holidays! Just like RAs right before Thanksgiving and letting them go last week right before Xmas! [17:14] schestowitz[TR2] How's it feel?

Every kid is an Indian. [17:14] schestowitz[TR2] We uproot millions of people from 8,000 Miles away. We are k1lling ourselves with unchecked immigration.
