Globalization was sold like it was going to make everything better. Mostly it just made it easier for companies to leave and never come back.

Supply chain “resilience” talk is hilarious when the entire model still prioritises cheap labour and just-in-time over actual security.

There is no data center on Earth that's worth the bees, water, and trees.

Paying ₹3,600 a year just to receive a bank OTP, is this really a Mobile Service or an "OTP Tax"?

Today, a Mobile Number is required for almost everything important

Banking
UPI
KYC
Credit Cards
Insurance
Government Services
2FA / OTPs

If your SIM becomes inactive,
access to several essential financial and digital services can become difficult.

But if someone does not need Mobile Data, already has Wi Fi at home,
and uses the SIM only for OTPs, SMS and incoming calls,

why should they still have to pay for expensive bundled recharge plans ?

Imagine a family of 6

₹3,600 × 6 = ₹21,600 per year.

Just to keep their mobile numbers active.

If people already have Wi Fi at home,

why should not there be a ₹500/year basic plan that provides only essential services like incoming calls and OTP or SMS ?

Telecom companies have every right to make money by selling data
that’s fair.

But here’s the bigger question

In Digital India, should people really have to spend thousands of rupees
every year just to maintain access to essential services like Banking,
KYC and 2FA ?

If a Mobile Number has effectively become part of our Digital Identity,

should not there also be an affordable basic plan simply to keep the SIM active ?

Maybe it’s time for TRAI to seriously consider this.

There needs to be a total clampdown on what MPs can claim on their expenses. It is unfair when people are struggling for MPs to have domestic costs of living paid for by the taxpayers

Guys every generation was promised that hard work builds wealth. This is the first one where hard work mostly just services the wealth of previous generations.

We should all be worried about "dynamic pricing."

That's when companies change their prices in real time.

If it's hot out, the cost of ice cream could go up.
If it's cold, tea bags could go up.

It's a way for giant companies to squeeze you even more.

A salaried employee pays tax before receiving their salary.

Then pays GST while spending it.

Then pays tolls, registration charges, property taxes and countless other levies.

How much taxation is enough?

Millionaires & billionaires collecting Social Security to get what they paid in? We only lean on it this hard because the rich killed pensions and locked us into wages too weak to build real wealth.

There are senior citizens like my father who have been paying income tax since almost 5 decades, they still have to pay IT on their pasive income.

What did government give them in return ?

Nothing. No healthcare, no social security, NOTHING

Hatred for IT payers is real

You work full time, pay rent that takes half your check, and still can’t save enough to ever leave. They call that “adulting.” I call it designed precarity.

An Amazon worker is seen using a powered trailer spotter

With this tool, Amazon can have workers move these massive trailers around a yard. It is much cheaper than having a truck driver do it and no CDL or licensing is required

This means a yard worker making $19 an hour can do this job as opposed to a licensed trucker which can cost significantly more and needs a CDL

On bribes(.)fyi, police is already leading in bribes with 50% share of the complaints.

We can completely expect the government to take the right steps to correct this - which is to shut down this site instead of stopping bribes.

My grocery bill is higher every single month and my paycheck is not. At some point this stops being “inflation” and starts being theft.

[aster 🌼 @themermacorn]

I think these food borne outbreaks are also demonstrating the illusion of choice here. You think you have all these brands to choose from meanwhile it’s all the same shit just different logos slapped on

[𝕯𝖞𝖑𝖆𝖓™ @Dylanszn01]

We canceled cable to get away from ads, only to have them follow us online while the bill keeps getting higher.

You log into your apartment's mandatory online tenant portal to pay $1,800 in rent.

You select "Debit Card" or "ACH Bank Transfer" and hit submit.

• Base Rent: $1,800.00

• "Online Portal Processing Fee": $45.00

• "Technology Maintenance Convenience Surcharge": $12.50

You're being charged $57.50 a month just to send digital money to a corporate landlord who refuses to accept a physical check.

They didn't digitize property management to make your life easier…….they built an automated toll booth on the payment method they force you to use.

Thats the thing -

Tesla is not a car company. Its a stock company.

Tesla has cumulatively made about 450 billion dollars from selling cars in its entire 23 years on this planet.

Tesla stock however is 'worth' 1.5 TRILLION dollars right now. (P/E ratio 300+)

Fraudulently pumping the stock has earned @elonmusk WAY more money than selling cars ever did - which is why that's all he cares about now. Puff after puff.
