your dysfunctional parents need to be scared of you to respect you. you have to show your parents that you are insane & they created a person crazier than them. that is the dysfunctional parent psychology.
Any one who is privileged therefore owes it to the world to work on the most obnoxiously hard problems, not just build a life for themselves, but uplift people by building great companies and employing as many people as they can.
The privileged must risk it all, over and over again, until they are tortured to greatness.
This is my version of socialism, re- distribute risk. The rich have a moral imperative to embrace more risk.
Employee - my appraisal letter said I got 20% hike but I didn't get
Boss - We retrospectively revised your previous salary down, so on the revised base you got 20%
Employee - but im getting 0% more money
Boss - Please don't mix old series salary with new series salary

A tale of two Asian billionaires this week.
Hui Ka Yan. Jailed for life by a Chinese court. All his assets seized. For swindling public money.
Subhash Chandra. Court approved a plan to forgive a massive $2.3B loan amount. Lenders, including public-run ones, look on helplessly.
In the #IndiaFix this week: How India's softness on billionaires is not only unfair, it's harming her economy.

Authorities in Maharashtra are using kids as dummy students during our social audit to cover up the govt’s failures.
Why do you have to stoop so low? Why not just improve the schools?
If an 8 year old girl's shorts trigger your sensibilities, then your sensibilities are that of a pédophile. Imagine getting triggered by a child's legs, how deeply disgusting you must be.
Children studying in @abhijeet_dipke’s native village Santuk Pimpari’s govt school tell him what they would like to see fixed in their school!
❌ No benches to sit on
❌ No drinking water
❌ No clean toilets
❌ No functioning computer
❌ Not enough teachers
After 80 years of being independent, can we at least build good schools for the future of our country? It’s not a lot to ask!
Jantar Mantar protests did a world of good to India and Indians. It empowered students across states. It focussed on education as a need, a demand and a right that should be fought for. Indian students are done waiting. A wave of protests have hit UP, Bihar, Rajasthan, MP, Maharashtra & Jharkhand etc.
In Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh, about 1,500 students, Classes 6-12, staged a 6-hour sit-in at Sarvodaya Inter College. No fans, no library, no computer lab, unsafe drinking water, broken desks. Officials came calling within a day.
In Gays, Bihar, A government school with a broken hand pump, dead fans, shattered benches. Students protested and refused to speak to a junior official. They demanded the District Magistrate himself show up. He did.
In Jalore, Rajasthan, students locked the gates themselves, demanding teachers for grades 1-3 that simply weren’t there.
In Barmer’s Ramsar school, same story. Kids literally not being taught subjects due to staff shortages.
Across MP, Maharashtra, Jharkhand, Similar walkouts reported. Same core demands echoing across states: functional fans, clean water, hygienic toilets, teachers actually in the classroom.
What Jantar Mantar protests achieved is exceptional. India is discussing education, faculty shortages, unfairness, paper leaks, lack of school infrastructure. None of these demands are unreasonable and the minimum a public school owes a child. The fact it took a viral sit in to get it fixed is the real story.
I only wish this continues. We should continue to bring student issues to the forefront. Empower them with coverage, conversations. This can’t be allowed to fade as a one week news cycle. Keep asking. Keep covering. About vacant teacher posts in your district? What happened to the school infrastructure budget? Tag your local officials.
Don’t let this fade.
Please don’t let it fade.
