50+ Good Things from the Biden Administration

Just a list of 50+ good things the Biden Administration has done in the last 4 years because I’ve been hearing too much rhetoric that it doesn’t matter who you vote for. It does make a difference.

Increased access to healthcare and specifically codified protections for LGBTQ+ patients against discrimination. (x)

Strengthened women's reproductive rights by increasing access to reproductive health care, improving confidentiality to protect against criminalization for patients receiving reproductive care, and revoked Medicaid waivers from states that would exclude providers like Planned Parenthood, and more. (x)

Expanded healthcare and benefits for veterans through the PACT Act (x)

Cemented protections for pregnant and postpartum workers through the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act and PUMP for Nursing Mothers Act.

Improved access to nursing homes for those who receive Medicaid services and established, for the first time, a national minimum staffing requirement for nursing homes to ensure those in their care receive sufficient support. (x)

Lowered healthcare costs for those with Medicare which capped insulin for seniors at $35 a month, made vaccines free, and capped seniors’ out of pocket expenses at the pharmacy through the Inflation Reduction Act.

Fully vaccinated 79% of American adults against COVID-19 (I know this is old news now this is a big deal)

Banned unfair practices that hide housing fees from renters and homebuyers when moving into a new home (x)

Reduced the mortgage insurance premium for Federal Housing Administration (FHA) mortgages and clarified that inflated rents caused by algorithmic use of sensitive nonpublic pricing and supply information violate antitrust laws. (x)

Increased protections for those saving for retirement from predatory practices. (x)

Helped millions of households gain access to the internet through the Affordable Connectivity Program. (x)

Restored net neutrality (net neutrality is a standard which ensures broadband internet service is essential and prohibits interna providers from blocking, engaging in paid prioritization, and more.) (x)

Increased protections for loan holders as well as increased access to loans (x)

Cut fees that banks charge consumers for overdrawing on their accounts. (x)

Reaffirmed HUD’s commitment to remedy housing discrimination under the Fair Housing Act (which was– surprise, surprise– halted under the Trump administration). (x)

Rejoined the Paris Climate Accords.

Listed more than 24 million acres of public lands across the country as environmentally protected and has channeled more than $18 billion dollars toward conservation projects. (And revoked the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline amongst others).

Invested $369 billion to reduce greenhouse emissions and promote clean energy technologies through the Inflation Reduction Act. Through the tax incentives under the Inflation Reduction Act, renewable energy (such as wind, solar, and hydropower) has surpassed coal-fired generation in the electric power sector for the first time, making it the second-biggest source of energy behind natural gas. (x)

Strengthened protections against workplace assault through the Speak Out Act. (x)

Increased protections for workers during the union bargaining process (x)

Is making it easier for passengers to obtain refunds when airlines cancel or significantly change their flights, significantly delay their bags, or fail to provide extra services when purchased. (x)

Invested $1.2 trillion into roads, waterlines, broadband networks, airports and more allowing for more bridges, railroads, tunnels, roads, and more through the Inflation Reduction Act (which also added 670,000 jobs). (idk about you but I like driving on well maintained roads and having more rail options).

Strengthened overtime protections for federal employees (x)

Raised the minimum wage for federal workers and contractors to $15. (x)

Strengthened protections for farmworkers by expanding the activities protected from retaliation by the National Labor Relations Act and more. (Previously anti-retaliation provisions under the National Labor Relations Act applies mostly to only U.S. citizens) (x)

Invested $80 billion for the Internal Revenue Service to hire new agents, audit the wealth, modernize its technology, and more. Additionally, created $300 billion in new revenue through corporate tax increases. (x)

Lowered the unemployment rate to 3.5% — the lowest in 50 years.

Canceled over $140B of student debt for nearly 40 million borrowers. (x)

Strengthened protections for sexual assault survivors, pregnant and parenting students, and LGBTQ+ students in schools through an updated Title IX rule. This updated rule strengthens sexual assault survivors rights to investigation– something that had been gutted under the Trump administration, strengthens requirements that schools provide modifications for students based on pregnancy, prohibits harassment based on sexual orientation or gender identity, and more. (x)

Revoked an order that limited diversity and inclusion training. (x)

Cracked down on for profit colleges. (x)

Reaffirmed students’ federal civil rights protections for non-discrimination based on race, national origin, disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender in schools. Specifically, the Department of Education made clear students with disabilities’ right to school, limiting the use of out of school suspensions and expulsions against them. (x) (x)

Enhanced the Civil Rights Data Collection, a national survey that captures data on students’ equal access to educational opportunities. These changes will improve the tracking of civil rights violations for students, critical for advocates to respond to instances of discrimination.

Provided guidance on how colleges and universities can still uphold racial diversity in higher education following the Supreme Court decision overturning affirmative action. (x)

Issued a federal pardon to all prior Federal offenses of simple possession of marijuana. Additionally, the DEA is taking steps to reclassify marijuana as a Schedule III substance instead of a Schedule I, limiting punishment for possession in the future. (x)

Changed drug charges related to crack offenses, now charging crack offenses as powder cocaine offenses. This is a big step towards ending the racial disparity that punishes crack offenses with greater severity than offenses involving the same amount of powder cocaine. (x)

Lowered the cost of local calls for incarcerated people through the Martha Wright-Reed Just and Reasonable Communications Act as well as increased access for video calls (especially impactful for incarcerated people with disabilities). (x)

Enacted policing reforms that banned chokeholds, restricted no-knock entries, and restricted the transfer of military equipment to local police departments. (x)

Established the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database (NLEAD) which will better track police officer misconduct. This database will vet federal law enforcement candidates who have a history of misconduct from being rehired and will make it easier and faster to charge police officers under the Death in Custody Reporting Act. (x)

Added disability as a protected characteristic alongside race, gender, religion, and sexual orientation. Under the law, police officers are prohibited from profiling people based on these characteristics. …It sadly happens anyway but now there’s an added legal protection which means a mechanism to convict police officers should they break the law. (x)

Required federal prisons to place incarcerated individuals consistent with their chosen pronouns and gender identity. (x)

Expanded gun background checks by narrowing the “boyfriend” loophole to keep guns out of the hands of convicted dating partners, strengthening requirements for registering as a licensed gun dealer (closing the “gun show loophole”), and more through the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. (x)

Increased mental health programs within police departments to support officers experiencing substance use disorders, mental health issues, or trauma from their duties. (x)

Lifted Trump era restrictions on the use of consent decrees. The Justice Department uses consent decrees to force local government agencies (like police departments) to eliminate bad practices (such as widespread abuse and misconduct) that infringe on peoples’ civil rights. (x)

Improved reporting of hate crimes through the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act (x)

Nominated the first Black woman to sit on the Supreme Court

Confirmed 200 lifetime judges to federal courts, confirming historic numbers of women, people of color, and other judges who have long been excluded from our federal court system. (64% are women, 63% are people of color)

Designated Temporary Protected Status (TPS) status for immigrants from Cameroon, Haiti, El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua, Sudan, and more. (x)

Ended the discriminatory Muslim and African bans (x).

Provided a pathway to citizenship for spouses of U.S. citizens that have been living in the country without documentation. (x)

Expanded healthcare to DACA recipients (x)

This one is… barely a win but not by fault of the Biden Administration. The Department of Homeland Security as of Feb 2023 has reunited nearly 700 immigrant children that were separated from their families under Trump’s Zero Tolerance Policy. From 2017-2021, 3,881 children were separated from their families. About 74% of those have been reunited with their families: 2,176 before the task force was created and 689 afterward. But that still leaves nearly 1,000 children who remain tragically separated from their families from under the Trump Administration. (x)

(okay this one is maybe only exciting for me who’s a census nerd) Revised federal standards for the collection of race and ethnicity data, allowing for federal data that better reflect the country’s diversity. Now, government forms will include a Middle Eastern/ North African category (when previously those individuals would check “white”). Additionally, forms will now have combined the race & ethnicity question allowing for individuals to check “Latino/a” as their race (previously Latine individuals would be encouraged to check “Latino” for ethnicity and “white” for race… which doesn’t really resonate with many folks). (x) (I know this sounds boring but let me tell you this is BIG when it comes to better data collection– and better advocacy!).

Rescinded a Trump order that would have excluded undocumented immigrants from the 2020 Census which would have taken away critical funds from those communities.

Required the U.S. federal government and all U.S. states and territories to recognize the validity of same-sex and interracial civil marriages by passing the Respect for Marriage Act, repealing the Defense of Marriage Act.

Reversed Trump’stransgender military ban.

Proposed investments in a lot of programs including universal pre-k, green energy, mental health programs across all sectors, a national medical leave program for all workers and more. (x)

Last… let’s also not forget all the truly terrible things Trump did when he was in office. If you need a reminder, scroll this list, this one mostly for giggles + horror, for actual horror about what a Trump presidency has in store, learn about ‘Project 2025’ from the Heritage Foundation. I know this post is about reasons to vote FOR Biden but let’s not forget the many, many reasons to vote for him over Trump.

So, there it is, 50+ reasons to vote for Biden in the 2024 Election.

Check your voter registration here, make a plan to vote, and encourage your friends to vote as well.

All in all, yeah… there’s a lot of shitty things still happening. There’s always going to be shit but things aren’t going to change on their own. And that change starts (it certainly doesn’t end) with voting.

Go vote in November.

#politics #us politics #election 2024 #2024 elections #joe biden #biden #get out the vote #vote biden #(I say somewhat begrudgingly tbh but you better believe I'm voting)#posting this one more time #because I think it's important and I have no shame when it comes to talking politics into an abyss

Buy Best 2 Crore Term Insurance Plan Online In India 2025

Why Buy a ₹2 Crore Term Insurance Plan? When it comes to securing your family’s future, there is nothing better than having a solid financial plan in place. A ₹2 crore term insurance plan ensures that your family will not be left in a difficult situation in case of any mishappening. The maturity amount is paid to your family if anything unfortunate happens to you during the policy term. But why should you consider this specific coverage amount? Let us understand:

Affordable Premiums Unlike other life insurance plans, a ₹2 crore term insurance is designed to provide pure life cover without the investment components found in other types of life insurance. This means you are paying only for protection. So, if you are a healthy, non-smoking 30-year-old, you can get a ₹2 crore term insurance policy with premiums starting at just ₹1000 to ₹2000.

Comprehensive Coverage With a term insurance ₹2 crore, your family can manage a range of expenses like home loans, educational fees for children, or even long-term medical care. The term plan’s comprehensive coverage can also help clear major debts like mortgages and cover daily expenses.

Flexibility and Customization You can tailor your term insurance policy to suit your unique financial situation or personal circumstances. For instance, many insurers offer specialized and customized plans like term insurance for NRI. Moreover, you can add optional riders like critical illness cover, disability benefits, waiver of premium, or accidental death benefits, to extend the protection even further.

Save More on Premiums In addition to affordable premiums, term insurance plans allow you to save money with tax benefits. Premiums paid for a ₹2 crore term insurance policy are eligible for deductions under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. Also, the payout your family receives is tax-free under Section 10(10D), further boosting your savings.

What is a ₹2 Crore Term Insurance? A ₹2 crore term life insurance plan is a type of life insurance policy that provides a coverage amount of ₹2 crore to your nominees or beneficiaries in the unfortunate event of your demise during the policy term. Term insurance is characterized by its simplicity; it offers a life cover without any investment or savings component. This means that if you (the policyholder) pass away within the policy tenure, your family will receive the predetermined sum assured, which in this case is a substantial ₹2 crore.

Get U.S. Residency Through Investment From Hyderabad

How Do You Set Up a U.S. Branch Office From Hyderabad?

Expanding operations internationally is a strategic move for businesses aiming to stay competitive and access new opportunities. The United States, with its booming economy, world-class infrastructure, and diverse consumer base, remains a top destination for global growth.

For businesses based in Hyderabad, setting up a U.S. Branch Office From Hyderabad is more than just a milestone—it’s a wise investment in the future. Hyderabad’s vibrant tech and entrepreneurial ecosystem makes it a natural fit for tapping into the U.S. market. A branch office provides direct access to one of the world’s largest markets and makes it easier to collaborate with U.S.-based clients, building stronger relationships and fostering trust.

A U.S. presence boosts business credibility, signaling a commitment to international standards and opening doors to new clients, investors, and partnerships. By taking this step, Hyderabad businesses can position themselves for long-term success on the global stage.

First Step in Establishing Branch Office In US.

A strong foundation must be laid before establishing a U.S. Branch Office From Hyderabad to ensure long-term success. The first step is assessing business viability by conducting thorough market research to understand industry-specific demands in the U.S. This research will help identify growth opportunities, target markets, and challenges. Businesses must engage in meticulous financial planning to account for expansion costs, operational expenses, and the resources required to sustain the branch office.

Another aspect is selecting the appropriate legal entity for the U.S. operation. Businesses must weigh the differences between a branch office, a subsidiary, and a representative office. A branch office directly operates as an extension of the parent company, while a subsidiary functions as a separate legal entity, often offering tax and liability benefits. A representative office, on the other hand, focuses on non-commercial activities like marketing and research. The right structure depends on the business’s goals, operational scope, and long-term strategy. Making qualified decisions during these preliminary steps sets the stage for a smooth and successful expansion into the U.S. market.

Immigration and Visa Requirements For U.S. Branch Office From Hyderabad

Securing the right visas is important in setting up a U.S. branch office In Hyderabad. The L-1 visa is often the preferred choice for transferring employees from the Hyderabad office to the U.S. This visa is designed explicitly for intracompany transferees and has two main categories: the L-1A for managers and executives and the L-1B for employees with specialized knowledge. To qualify, the employee must have worked for the Hyderabad office for at least one continuous year within the last three years and be coming to the U.S. to fulfill a similar or higher role. The application process involves filing Form I-129 with supporting documentation and typically takes several weeks to a few months, depending on USCIS processing times. Premium processing can expedite the timeline for an additional fee.

Alternative visa options may be suitable for roles not meeting L-1 eligibility criteria. The H-1B visa, for example, is commonly used for specialized professional roles, while the O-1 visa caters to individuals with extraordinary abilities in their field. It’s also important to consider visa requirements for dependents. Spouses and children of L-1 visa holders can apply for L-2 visas, which may allow them to work or study in the U.S.

Legal and Regulatory Compliance For U.S. Branch Office From Hyderabad

Legal and regulatory requirements define the ways to establish a U.S. branch office. The process begins with registering your business in the state where the branch will operate. This involves selecting a business name, filing the necessary paperwork with the state’s Secretary of State, and designating a registered agent to receive official correspondence. Once the business is registered, obtaining an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS is essential. The EIN functions like a business’s Social Security Number and is required for tax filings, hiring employees, and opening a business bank account.

U.S. tax obligations are equally important. Branch offices are subject to corporate taxes on income generated within the U.S.; additional taxes such as sales tax, payroll tax, and state-specific taxes may also apply. It is important to work with a tax professional to ensure compliance with federal and state tax laws and take advantage of any applicable deductions or credits.

Businesses must adhere to local and federal laws governing their operations. This includes complying with employment laws that dictate hiring practices, wages, and workplace conditions and obtaining the necessary licenses and permits to operate legally in the chosen state or city. Compliance with these regulations avoids legal complications and establishes a foundation of trust and legitimacy for the new branch office.

Setting Up Operations After Establishing a Branch Office in the US

For establishing operations of your U.S. branch office requires strategic planning to ensure a smooth transition and functional setup.

Selecting the right city or state is a first decision and should align with your industry and target market. Factors such as proximity to clients, access to skilled talent, tax incentives, and overall business climate play a significant role. For example, tech companies may gravitate toward Silicon Valley, while logistics firms might prefer hubs like Atlanta or Chicago. Once the location is finalized, businesses can choose to lease or purchase office space based on budget and long-term plans. Ensuring the space aligns with operational needs and scalability is vital.

Opening a U.S. business bank account is essential in managing your financial operations. This requires documentation such as your EIN, business registration details, and proof of identity for authorized signatories. A U.S. account simplifies handling local transactions, payroll, and tax payments. Businesses must plan for managing international transactions and currency exchanges, often involving collaboration with banks or financial institutions that offer favorable rates and low transfer fees.

Building a team for local operations requires effective recruitment strategies, including online job portals, staffing agencies, or leveraging professional networks, which can help identify qualified candidates. It’s equally important to adhere to legal hiring practices, including compliance with U.S. labor laws, equal employment opportunity standards, and work authorization verification through the I-9 process.

Funding and Financial Planning For Opening a Branch Office in the US.

The first step is estimating the costs of establishing and running the branch office. Expenses include leasing or purchasing office space, setting up infrastructure like furniture and IT equipment, and covering employee salaries, benefits, and onboarding costs. Considerations may include legal fees for registration, immigration processes, and marketing expenses for establishing a local presence. Creating a comprehensive budget helps identify funding needs and ensures that financial resources are allocated effectively.

Businesses have several avenues to fund their U.S. expansion. Profits generated by the Hyderabad office can be reinvested to cover initial expenses. Securing U.S.-based investors through venture capital, angel investors, or strategic partnerships can provide additional capital and local expertise. Businesses may also explore loans and grants specifically available for international companies entering the U.S. market. Many states and local governments offer incentives to attract foreign investment, including low-interest loans, tax breaks, and business grants for international enterprises.

Potential Challenges and How to Overcome Them When Opening Branch Office in the US.

Securing the right visas for personnel and employees can be complex and time-consuming. Issues like visa denials, delays, or compliance requirements can disrupt timelines. To address these challenges, businesses should work closely with experienced immigration attorneys to ensure accurate documentation and adherence to visa requirements. Utilizing premium processing options and staying updated on U.S. immigration policies can also help expedite the process.

Operating in two different legal systems introduces regulatory and compliance challenges. Businesses must know U.S. tax laws, employment regulations, and state-specific requirements while ensuring compliance with Indian regulations for outbound investments. Engaging legal and financial advisors with expertise in cross-border operations can simplify these complexities and prevent costly mistakes. Maintaining clear documentation and regularly consulting with legal experts helps ensure compliance on both fronts.

Distance and time zone differences can hinder communication between the U.S. branch and the Hyderabad head office. To overcome this, businesses should implement robust communication tools like project management software, video conferencing platforms, and shared calendars. Establishing a clear communication protocol, including regular check-ins and updates, helps align goals and ensures smooth collaboration across teams.

Final Word

Setting up a U.S. branch office from Hyderabad is exciting and rewarding. Still, it requires careful planning, strategic financial management, and a solid understanding of legal and regulatory requirements. From conducting market research to choosing the right visa options and selecting the appropriate business structure, each step is supposed to be done diligently for the success of your expansion into the U.S. With the right guidance, the transition can be smooth, and the growth potential is immense.

At Gehis Immigration and International Legal Services, our Hyderabad office is dedicated to providing the legal and professional support necessary for businesses looking to expand into the U.S. Our team specializes in helping businesses with the complexities of U.S. immigration laws, tax regulations, and compliance requirements. Whether you’re handling visa applications, legal entity selection, or managing cross-border legal issues, we offer solutions to ensure your expansion is successful.

Don’t manage this journey alone—take the first step toward establishing your U.S. branch office with the assistance of Gehis Immigration and International Legal Services. Let us guide you through the process, ensuring a seamless and legally compliant expansion into the U.S. market.

Top Tips for Finding the Best Car Rental Company

Choosing the right car rental company is essential for a smooth and enjoyable experience, whether you’re renting for a special occasion, business trip, or vacation. Here are some straightforward tips to help you select the best rental service.

1. Read Reviews and Ratings

Check customer reviews on trusted sites like Google and Yelp to see what previous renters have said about the company. Look for consistent positive feedback on service quality, vehicle condition, and customer care. A high rating with detailed, positive reviews often indicates a reliable rental service.

2. Compare Prices and Policies

Prices vary widely among rental companies, so take time to compare. Focus not only on rates but also on additional fees for things like extra mileage, added drivers, and fuel. Choose a company with clear, upfront pricing and a reputation for transparent policies. Look for rental options that offer value rather than just the lowest price.

3. Consider the Fleet Options

A good rental company will have a well-maintained fleet with various options to suit different needs, from compact cars to luxury vehicles. If you’re looking for a specific type, such as an SUV or a high-end luxury car, make sure the company has it available. A broad selection ensures you’ll get a vehicle that matches your requirements.

4. Check for Flexible Rental Terms

Some companies offer flexible rental options, such as one-way rentals, long-term rentals, or customizable durations. These options are particularly helpful if your travel plans change unexpectedly. Flexibility also includes good cancellation policies, so look for a rental company that provides terms that meet your needs without excessive restrictions.

5. Evaluate Customer Service Quality

Customer service plays a huge role in the rental experience. Ideally, a top car rental company will provide 24/7 customer support for emergencies or unexpected situations.
