Decrease. Decreasing revenue is a big ****ing deal. Don't start a business.

Did my link not answer your question? If you need more info - YOU can look up declines in grad students, healthcare workers and STEM. Have fun.It's easy if the results are misleading. The H1-B visa is an employer-sponsored visa, in which the prospective employer certifies that it needs a foreign individual because that individual has special skills and such skills are not available in the current US labor market. And the fact that there are "only" 350,000 Indian registrations for it isn't a terrible thing. Only 121,000 Indian registrations were moved forward for consideration for 85,000 visas. For this year, the 85,000 cap has already been reached.
How many registrations were there from all of the other countries? Oh, and in 2024, before Trump was elected, before DOGE existed, there was a 28% drop in the number of registrations.
Again, did my link not answer your question?So we'll only have $169 billion in foreign tourists. Given the rioting being done by the leftists and anti-Semites this year, I'll be surprised if we even get that number.
Your claims and the numbers you use to support them don't worry - or impress - me.
After reading this thread, it seems the extreme anti-Trumps are disappointed ICE is being directed to go in a new direction, much easier on farm workers, hotel and restaurant workers.
It makes fiscal sense that they would go easier if businesses are suffering. Trump has already acknowledged that these policies were affecting farmers and hospitality businesses by removing "very good, long-time workers" who are difficult to replace. It's economically understandable why Trump has changed course. It's a matter of preventing economic disruptions. Makes more sense to go after criminal activities like human trafficking and drug smuggling.
The list I referenced was from a government contracting tracking organization. It showed all the program factors including the applicant's original grant justification. You can spend some time checking it out, if you're really curious.Are they? It's not like you ever actually learned any kind of details about them. Someone circulated some list on the internet and you just... believed them. LOL.
Well, THAT was totally meaningless.… pausing raids on Republican businesses that have ponied up the ‘campaign donations’ to Trump.
Two junk posts in a row. Wow!Wasteful Spending: Voodoo Windfall Tax Cuts to Billionaires ;
Billionaires Who’ve Been Donating to Republicans Since Reagan
No.Are we supposed to believe thus just occurred to them?
If that's true, they are really, really incompetent.
Yes, it did. But it didn't show the panic you seem to feel.Did my link not answer your question?
It declined to about the normal annual level. If you expanded your business on the basis of one higher year, you'd be a fool.If my business declined over 20% in one year, I'd be concerned.
I did. They're included in the 85,000. Take some time to read up on the H1-B visa. You could learn something.Did my link not answer your question? If you need more info - YOU can look up declines in grad students, healthcare workers and STEM
I can't believed you typed this with a straight face. The impact on these industries was 100% predictable.After reading this thread, it seems the extreme anti-Trumps are disappointed ICE is being directed to go in a new direction, much easier on farm workers, hotel and restaurant workers.

As usual, you totally ignored the post you were responding to.No.
The word salad queen is incompetent. Joe Biden, who the Democrats covered for was incompetent.
Glad I could help.
Why do you people always project emotions onto others?Yes, it did. But it didn't show the panic you seem to feel.

MAGA always seems to have trouble noticing they are being ridiculed... libs are "disappointed"I can't believed you typed this with a straight face. The impact on these industries was 100% predictable.
Yep. See my previous post.MAGA always seems to have trouble noticing they are being ridiculed... libs are "disappointed"
And how many can you point at as being some kind of problem? What percentage of total USAID spending is a problem for you, and why does that justify cutting off food aid to starving children?The list I referenced was from a government contracting tracking organization. It showed all the program factors including the applicant's original grant justification. You can spend some time checking it out, if you're really curious.

Maybe for the same reason you people try to make something out of nothingWhy do you people always project emotions onto others?
Do you have some kind of delusion that I'm going to go through that list and analyze each one so that you can make some smart-ass comment about my analysis?And how many can you point at as being some kind of problem?
We're talking about taco's reversal on his immigration policies. What are you talking about?Maybe for the same reason you people try to make something out of nothing
The ones who are really going to be disappointed are those Trumpers who hate Hispanic immigrants. Trump promised to get rid of them all, now he’s reneging on that promise.After reading this thread, it seems the extreme anti-Trumps are disappointed ICE is being directed to go in a new direction, much easier on farm workers, hotel and restaurant workers.
Yes, but what it proves is that Trump is acknowledging that he either is an idiot or that he has been lying to you all along by trying to make people believe that most immigrants are murders and rapists and only some are good people. You can choose which. Hint, the latter is the correct answer.It makes fiscal sense that they would go easier if businesses are suffering. Trump has already acknowledged that these policies were affecting farmers and hospitality businesses by removing "very good, long-time workers" who are difficult to replace. It's economically understandable why Trump has changed course. It's a matter of preventing economic disruptions.
Which has nothing to do with immigration. BTW…that’s part of what the California National Guard was doing before Trump ordered them to LA.Makes more sense to go after criminal activities like human trafficking and drug smuggling.
Says the dijon mustard and tan suit crowd lmaoMaybe for the same reason you people try to make something out of nothing
It isn't a "culture war whim" to cancel wasteful spending at a time of $36 trillion debt. The silly programs of USAID are well known now, and they are indefensible. But less well-known are the research programs cut, and the reasons for them. For example, a university research program for the treatment of a specific brain cancer was cut. But, as I pointed out in another thread here, there are at least half a dozen other university and cancer center programs on-going into the same cancer, and at least as many are already in clinical trials. Cutting one of many such programs isn't a "culture war whim."
If their "opinions" become militant actions (e.g., Mohamed Khalil) they may well have their visas, granted for the purpose of academic study, withdrawn. And why shouldn't they? Would you tolerate an openly hostile guest in your home?
No, you weren't. You referred to others projecting their feelings.We're talking about taco's reversal on his immigration policies. What are you talking about?
The Christian right has nothing but contempt and resentment towards poor people. Especially if they are foreign or brown.I mean soft power is quite defensible actually.
Not really hard to defend usaid at all.
perhaps you dont understand it because its not bombing someone as an answer
Haven't worn a suit for 30 years, and use Coleman's mustard.Says the dijon mustard and tan suit crowd lmao
"Soft power" doesn't involve funding comic books or puppet shows pushing transsexuality.I mean soft power is quite defensible actually.
