If you want US to get involved in a war with China over Taiwan you are a disgusting Neocon.

Haha predictions from a irrelevant anonymous poster less than 1/1000 times successful compared to VR. Keep up the good work.

Yours is easily the most intelligent post in this thread.

He got a scholarship. The fact that it was a Soros scholarship was irrelevant, but providing that context was burdensome.

I totally understand it. It created an insinuation that did not exist.

The ole “seems to have” bit. Now that’s great journalism

That, and using "Soros" to scare the binary-brained checklist voters out there.

There is so little about Vivek Ramaswampy out there that it is worth reading.

Eh, anyone who's worked in IT for any length of time has dealt with their share of Ramas from Accenture and Cognizant. One thing in common about the culture is that the answer to any question at least 80% of the time is "Yes".

The execs like what they're hearing and the price sits well in the budget. Eventually the reality of owning software produced by people in barns balancing laptops on ewes sinks in.

The fellowship (currently) maxes out at 90k over two years, was created by Paul Soros and his wife (George’s brother, not George himself), and is to help with one to two years of grad school education. Vivek received that money 12 years ago when he was going to law school. If you think that means Vivek the billionaire owes George Soros something, you’re being ridiculous.
