@AmazonHelp@AmazonAE@amazon All this has happened after your team got in touch. They contacted the company and I was told driver is on the way. So not sure how helpful these responses our.
@AmazonHelp How do you explain these lies. From “driver is near ur house” to “hasn’t gone for delivery” and won’t be. Absolutely pathetic. What a colossal waste of time! @AmazonAE@amazon
As always @AmazonHelp , reiterating that it’s not the individuals. They r doing their jobs. It’s the system that you need to fix. PS: Delivery has still not happened
@AmazonHelp Tossed to 10 agents on 1 chat. TEN. I’ve less coworkers than that. Just to get delivery right which u buggered up 4X. Was a relay race witht a finish line. And it was my FOURTH chat so 5 came before them.. 15 agents on 1 case @amazon@AmazonAE
👏 @sardesairajdeep well said. We shud check what % of time issues like what women wear, singing national song stanzas, etc. consume citizens and media in China, Norway, Singapore, etc.
Create, Educate, Elevate. Not Debate on faltu stuff.
How does that make any difference @LloydMathias ? The attack on @kritisanon was based on what she was wearing and that is entirely her choice. That she is an investor or part owner in GVA is not the issue here at all. Would we ever tell a man who may have a stake in a shirt company what he should wear: a suit, a bandhgala or a T shirt? A celebrity woman is always a soft target.
My wife left me today. She said it was because I “never stop talking.” I said the yen carry trade is a $20 trillion leveraged bet that the Bank of Japan will never normalize rates and she said “I’m taking the dog.”
Let me explain to you what I was trying to explain to her.
For thirty years Japan ran rates at zero. Zero. Free money. So the entire planet borrowed yen for nothing and bought literally anything with yield. Treasuries, Mexican peso bonds, Nasdaq, your uncle’s crypto. That’s the carry trade. It’s not a strategy. It’s a short volatility position wearing a business casual outfit.
Then in August 2024 the BOJ raised rates 15 basis points. FIFTEEN. And the yen ripped, the Nikkei fell 12% in a day, and the VIX printed 65. That was the tremor. That was the trailer.
She said “you said this last year.” I said YES AND I WAS RIGHT, THE MARKET JUST FORGOT, and she started packing.
Japan’s debt-to-GDP is roughly 250%. The BOJ owns over half the JGB market. They are the market. There’s no price discovery, there’s a guy in Tokyo with a printer and a dream. Every basis point higher on the long end costs them real money on debt they can never actually repay in real terms. So what do you do when you can’t default and you can’t pay? You inflate. You always inflate. It’s the only tool that doesn’t require anyone to vote.
She said “our marriage counselor thinks you have anxiety.” I said your marriage counselor doesn’t know what the 30-year JGB is doing and she said “NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THE 30-YEAR JGB IS DOING, THAT’S THE POINT, PAUL.”
My name isn’t Paul. That’s how far gone we are.
Anyway I’ve got canned goods, a Kagoshima yield curve chart laminated above the bed, and nobody left to explain it to. So it’s you now. Buckle up.
Don’t forget that on a day when slow-cutters from a seamer and a part time spinner choked the Indian batters on a dry pitch at Lord’s, India decided to bench their premier spinner and played 4 seamers.
Top Wicket Takers for India in ODIs in the last 5 years:
Kuldeep Yadav - 87 wickets.
Mohammed Siraj - 76 wickets.
Mohammed Shami - 66 wickets.
- None of them in the playing XI.
Taiwan solved tax evasion in 1951 with a trick so cheap it should embarrass every tax authority on the planet.
The problem was an all-cash economy full of small shops. A merchant pockets the cash, skips the receipt, and the sale never existed. Auditors can't catch what was never recorded, and hiring enough of them to watch every noodle stand costs more than the missing tax.
So finance chief Ren Xianqun flipped the incentive. Print a lottery number on every receipt. Draw winners every two months on live TV. Top prize today: NT$10 million, about $310K.
Suddenly the customer and the shopkeeper want opposite things. The merchant wants the sale off the books. The customer wants the ticket. And there are millions more customers than merchants. Every transaction now carries a built-in witness demanding the paper trail.
Year one, reported tax revenue jumped 75%, from NT$29 million to NT$51 million. Seventy-five years later, roughly 70% of Taiwanese still play. Convenience stores redeem the smallest NT$200 prizes at the register, so even a coffee receipt feels like a scratch card.
The elegant part is what the audit force costs. The prize pool runs about NT$7 billion a year, roughly $20 million. In exchange, the government gets 23 million unpaid auditors working every checkout line in the country, forever. No inspector general on earth delivers that coverage at that price.
Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Slovakia all copied it. The most effective compliance tool ever built looks like a game, and that's exactly why it works.
