It will be interesting if they get around to apportioning Lok Sabha seats by population as recommended by Constitution. Last time was based on 1971 census. Will certainly help ruling party as it will add +30 seats in North. Anyway lot of interesting points in that article

MC1 my point was slightly different - you have 13 odd states deciding the outcome of the election irrespective of what rest of the country wants/needs, not unlike India where a few states decide the outcome of the election ( though the conditions for how these states get power is different). Eg Alaska is small state but is more or less irrelevant when it comes to presidential elections.

Well.. Jobs make you miserable while babies make you happy 🤷‍♂️

It is a direct quote from someone who actually knows what he is talking about. How is it bias of WSJ? And what in your mind is WSJ’s bias here? Quote is from Nicholas Eberstadt, an expert on global demographics at the American Enterprise Institute,

This is not as simple . from historic , medieval times population has peaked in areas that provides easy water & fertile land to sustain life. gangetic plain had it all & was always densely populated. This is not a new phenomenon. The FEP introduced by Central government post independence systematically destroyed states of Bihar & Bengal while significantly promoting Deccan, Maharashtra - Gujtat . something which mamta Banerjee has always raised. The landlocked states in any country will always lag severly from industrial perspective as it is too costly to transport products via ports. This is the same reason why mid west landlocked states in US are way more poor than east coast or west coast. Indian landlocked states are still better as they at least provide food grains & agricultural to feed most of the country . gangetic plain of up, bihar & bengal alone produces 70% of grains for the whole country . It is easy to nit pick convenience . Do some research on FEP ( freight equalization policy) u will get ur answers.

It’s been 28 years since FEP came to an end. That’s a pretty long time to get the basics right (law and order, education, gender disparity, social indicators etc.) but governments in most of the BIMARU states did not do much to bridge the gap vis-a-vis South, West (& the northeast which by the way has very little industry to speak of but country leading stats). There are states in this list with metrics that are worse off than sub-Saharan Africa and are the reason why our per-capita has started to trail Bangladesh (even though it might be somewhat transitory). Don’t intend to be vitriolic but governments that win mandates just by appealing to the bases here haven’t done much to advance priorities that are in the broader national interest (incl. the BJP in the case of the farm laws which should be implemented in some form or the other)

Suppose you are 3 months pregnant and interviewing for a job. Would you disclose to the recruiter that you are expecting or is there no need to give that information until after being hired? As for the compensation, if you’ve already been told pre-interview, the salary range for the role, is it appropriate to negotiate a number for the salary if you are asked your desired salary in the first screening interview? Or should you try to hold off on the negotiation after you receive an offer?

But I want to switch to a better role & compensation.

I got an offer from Thoughtworks GGN as a lead consultant. Being a mother, I have anxiety about joining TW, since it is service based.

1. Bcoz of the recession and hiring is not for specific project, is it the right time to join TW or is it risky w.r.t job security?
2. How flexible is TW for WFH or it depends on the client?
3. How is WLB?

Please help..

Crazy ethics issue. Client 1 has VPO against man who later becomes Client 2. This is the 4th VPO this year, previous ones dismissed.

In the meantime, State has filed rape charges against man who becomes Client 2 and A/B charges against Client 1. Client 1 also files for divorce.

Clients reconcile (which is how they both end up clients...) and want VPO dismissed, divorce dismissed, and criminal charges dismissed.

DHS gets involved and want to remove the child from Client 1's custody. (1/2)

Just wanted to share this with people who would understand. Had 4 IEP meetings last week. When the case manager asked one mother if she had any concerns she said her only concern was that her kindergarten son with autism loved me so much she was afraid of him being promoted and being out of my room. I told her not to worry, in our program I will have him for 2 more years. Boy that made me feel good.

My parent is sick with dementia. I can tolerate high level of stress when I'm called names, sent to h... etc.. but I keep everything inside. It's been that way for a long while now. Today my cup of tolerance has overflown when I was giving my parent a bath. I was so angry that I was shaken and I forced my parent to bath... I yelled and said things I would never say otherwise. I know I'm wrong and it's a disease, but I just couldn't help it... now.. the work time comes... I couldn't concentrate... tears just flowing from my eyes. Which I totally deserve. I'm glad I was working from home today. It got to the point that I just don't want to see that anymore... I just don't want to wake up. I just want to escape of my thoughts and my feelings...
