United States doesn’t have talented people to fill jobs domestically.

And that's why I'm raising the H1 visa fees to a ridiculously high $100K.

I call it the Art of the Deal.

Fortunate to see up close and in person this sight of #Udupi #Krishna (this and each of the last 3 days).

IMHO:
1. If you find this picture excellent, the sight in person is easily million times better.
2. If you see it in person, there's virtually zero chance you are satisfied with just one look.

Probably #juvenile of me, but I'm guessing the name Dick for a sperm whale was no accident. 🧐

Wow. #India #women successfully chase down Australia's monster 338 runs in ODI Word Cup #Cricekt semis.🏏👩

Seeing the target and hearing of two India wickets falling at ~80, I was fairly certain India would lose this but boy did they show how to chase.👏
