There was an interview with Sam Bankman Fried a few years ago where he bragged he only wore 3 t-shirts. That he didn't care about clothes. But he owned beautiful mansions all over the world and lavish apartments in New York and Paris. So he walks around badly dressed on purpose making the public commons ugly for all of us, while owning beautiful homes he can enjoy in private. It's this attitude that creates the modern ugly world. Make the public areas ugly. While enjoying beauty in private. That's a new thing. Thankfully, we have beautiful cities from a long time ago that never adhered to that philosophy. We have wonderful paintings of people dressed spectacularly. Who cared about the aesthetic commons.

BREAKING: IOWA IS LAYING OFF 200 STATE IT WORKERS AND OUTSOURCING THEIR JOBS TO COGNIZANT, THE #3 H-1B EMPLOYER IN AMERICA. We have covered Cognizant extensively as being a H-1B body shop, importing largely Indian nationals to contract with large American corporations. Cognizant has been certified for 152,483 H-1B workers since 2015. In 2024, a federal jury found the company discriminated against its non-Indian employees. In 2019, two of its top executives were charged with foreign bribery. The state's data centers are moving to the cloud within Amazon, the #2 H-1B employer. The laid-off Iowans are being told they can apply for jobs at Cognizant. Gov. Reynolds claims this saves taxpayers $525M over a decade. The actual contract price was not disclosed. Cognizant is technically headquartered in New Jersey, but their leadership team is nearly 100% Indian, with the top 9 listed on their website shown here.
