It feels like we Indias are losing their morals at a steep pace
Every few days, we see another horrifying story.
Partners killing each other over relationships, betrayal or money.
Road rage turning into assault within seconds.
Children growing up surrounded by anger, comparison and pressure.
People becoming lonelier despite being constantly connected.
Scams everywhere.
Fake reviews. Fake food. Fake promises. Fake lifestyles.
Public spaces are treated as nobody’s responsibility.
Rules are followed only when there is fear of punishment.
Corruption feels increasingly shameless.
Officials, politicians and govt officials accumulate unimaginable wealth while ordinary citizens struggle for roads, drainage, schools, hospitals and basic dignity.
At work, people are exhausted.
At home, relationships are breaking.
Online, everyone is outraged.
On the road, everyone is impatient.
Everyone seems to be running.
Very few seem peaceful.
We are richer in consumption, but poorer in trust.
More educated, but not necessarily more civil.
More connected physically, but less compassionate.
More ambitious, but deeply unhappy.
GDP can grow.
Cities can build skyscrapers.
People can buy bigger homes and luxury cars.
But can a society truly progress when basic decency is collapsing?
Why are we becoming so angry?
Why has cheating become intelligence and honesty become foolishness?
Why are we unable to disagree without hatred?
Who is teaching our children empathy, patience and integrity?
And most importantly:
Are we building a successful country, even. Or merely an, angrier, unhealthy and more distrustful one?
1) We build a bridge worth 40Cr (that's Capex in the economy).
2) It turns out to be defective. So, we spend 1Cr demolishing it (that's Capex for infra improvement).
3) Net addition to GDP 41Cr.
That's the precise problem with the economy.
Great headline numbers.
And, 0 accountability.
People have high hopes from the budget: but, budget simply talks about the allocation of resources.
It doesn't solve fundamental issues of incompetence.
"Skin in the Game: Let the unemployed & those earning below some threshold decide on minimum wage, not some virtue signaling bureaucrat." - Nassim Nicholas Taleb
If your income is 1 Crore, you will roughly pay 40%+ tax in India.
(Plus indirect taxes)
Next year ---let's say-- you lose your job.
And your income goes to 0.
You will get 0 benefits.
Let me clarify the context:
- You won't send your kids to government schools.
- You won't avail treatment in a public hospital.
- You won't avail free ration.
Therefore there is no (REAL) safety net for people paying taxes in India.
This puts a lot of stress, pressure & a feeling of injustice.
That share your upside.
But, no one will give a shit about your downside.
And, this is what is precisely wrong with our taxation.
🚨🚨Joe Rogan is waking up to the tyranny that is currently running the world and the push for CBDC’s/Social credit system:
“I’m hoping that enough people are waking up to AT LEAST slow it down - These people are obviously pushing us in a very specific direction!! They want digital currency and a social credit score system that they’ll probably connect to some #Vaccine app - It’s very spooky!! We know that the government was involved in silencing people, it’s so OBVIOUSLY DIRTY SHIT!!!” 🔥🔥🔥
These people must be stopped!!👇

ONE man from a hundred years ago can shed light on what's happening
GK Chesterton inspired George Orwell, Orson Welles, Gandhi—and will inspire you too:
“Pity the nation whose people are sheep,
and whose shepherds mislead them.
Pity the nation whose leaders are liars, whose sages are silenced,
and whose bigots haunt the airwaves.
Pity the nation that raises not its voice,
except to praise conquerors and acclaim the bully as hero
and aims to rule the world with force and by torture.
Pity the nation that knows no other language but its own
and no other culture but its own.
Pity the nation whose breath is money
and sleeps the sleep of the too well fed.
Pity the nation — oh, pity the people who allow their rights to erode
and their freedoms to be washed away.
My country, tears of thee, sweet land of liberty.”
― Lawrence Ferlinghetti
Keep #Bitcoin in mind and listen to the below video👇
All we gotta say is, “Just as no society wants you to be wise, no fiat system wants you to embrace #Bitcoin.”

Humans certainly create huge amount of pollution... but villainizing carbon dioxide for climate change is unadulterated rubbish
& people, esp. kids are being fed this pseudoscience day in & day out. It's like a disease in their minds now

Dear @theliverdoc
If my tweet hurt someone’s feelings, I'd have no issues apologising for it. My presence on twitter is emphatic and bold, but it is not without heart.
However, these are not normal circumstances and you aren’t just “someone”.
