@ylecun @ylecun : Excited to see this. When are you expanding to London?

@compliantvc You have way more disposable income in US than EU and anyone arguing against it has either not lived in both places or just want engagement farming.

[Jatin Kakani @jatin007k]

@compliantvc $3500 🤣🤣

My car payment was $750 a month for a brand new crossover bigger than an SUV in EU and at the end of 4 years I owned the car. The interest rate was 1.9% with $0 down. EU has its own positives but affordability is remotely not one of them.

▪️A public interest litigation (PIL) has been filed in Supreme Court seeking directions to introduce preventive safeguards against false complaints, fabricated evidence, and frivolous criminal cases. The petitioner, Advocate Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay, argues that misuse of criminal law is clogging the justice system and violating fundamental rights.

▪️The plea urges the Court to direct Centre and States to install display boards at police stations, courts, municipal offices, panchayat buildings, and educational institutions mentioning the legal provisions and punishments for filing false complaints, giving false evidence, and making false statements.

▪️According to the petitioner, such public disclosures are necessary to protect the right to life, liberty, dignity, and reputation under Article 21. The petition argues that innocent citizens suffer irreparable harm due to malicious prosecution, even if they are ultimately acquitted.

▪️The PIL also seeks directions requiring authorities to inform complainants, before registering complaints, about the penal consequences of filing false or malicious cases. The petitioner contends that prior awareness would act as a deterrent and reduce misuse of criminal law.

▪️In addition, the plea proposes making it mandatory for complainants to submit an undertaking or affidavit affirming that their allegations and evidence are true. This would discourage false complaints and help reduce the burden of frivolous cases on courts.

▪️The petition relies on NCRB data showing a significant gap between registered cases and convictions under several criminal laws. It claims that high acquittal rates indicate systemic issues such as false charges and fabricated evidence.

▪️The petitioner has also cited Law Commission of India Report No. 277, which identified false prosecutions and fabricated evidence as major causes of injustice. The report noted that existing legal remedies are ineffective and that many undertrials spend years in jail before being acquitted.

▪️While acknowledging that BNS, 2023 contains provisions punishing false information and evidence, the petitioner argues that the absence of preventive mechanisms has rendered these laws ineffective. It claims that State inaction violates Articles 14, 19, and 21 by enabling arbitrary and unequal application of criminal law.

▪️The PIL filed through AoR Ashwani Kumar Dubey further seeks a declaration that punishments for false complaints, false statements, false charges, and false evidence should run consecutively.

Authorities should do the necessary investigation and prompt action be taken.

@TheGalleryAuto1 @jadinho97 @GooalMouth I recently moved from US to the UK (for personal reasons) and can attest your assessment is 100% wrong.

What about punishment to women who lie about their well paying job and still ask for maintenance? Strange that courts take a strict stand only if husband lies not when wife lies. Never seen them taking strong stand against implication of all family members

The guy got saved. If one can call off the wedding just because visa stamping date got moved, imagine how they will react after marriage if u lose ur job or need to leave US for any reason (easiest being H1-B expiry). One needs a partner who can be with them through thick & thin.

The Bombay High Court has made it clear that personal grievances cannot justify endless public attacks on a man’s reputation.

Decades after separation, Kumar Sanu was forced to seek court protection against repeated media allegations.

This order reinforces a hard truth: men are victims too, and the law will not allow reputations to be destroyed without restraint.

In the #AtulSubhash suicide case, techie Atul named Judge Rita Kaushik in his suicide note and video, alleging she demanded a bribe to influence his family court case.

Despite the serious allegations of bribery, no FIR or formal inquiry has been registered against her by police, and the investigation has focused on Subhash’s wife and her family.

Instead of facing any prosecution, Judge Rita Kaushik was reportedly promoted to a higher judicial position, and the controversy has not led to any official judicial inquiry being made public.

This is exactly how most Indian women behave today.

@venom1s Aaj ki equality badi selective hai. Rights western, lifestyle western, par bills aur responsibility aate hi sanskari mode on.

Phir koi sawal pooch le toh bolte hain men are scared of strong women.

Nahi, men are tired of double standards.

@ClareRi62674837 I genuinely fail to understand why people here are bothered so much about how anyone else chooses to live. PJs are comfortable and she was just at a supermarket. I moved here from US and maybe that’s why this is surprising to me. Now I see personal liberty is so prevalent in US.

[Ambar @Ambar_SIFF_MRA]

You are completely wrong.

For decades, men were judged only by what they could provide: money, stability, protection, sacrifice.
Our looks didn’t matter.
Our feelings didn’t matter.
Our value was tied to output.

Now that women have their own income, homes, and careers, the script pretends to flip, but here’s the truth:
Men are still judged on finances, status, height, confidence, and usefulness, plus expected to be emotionally available, gentle, progressive, and traditional at the same time.

So when men ask, “What do you bring to the table besides independence I already have?”, they’re mocked.
When men say “I can’t find anyone”, it’s called entitlement.
When men talk about isolation, it’s a “male loneliness epidemic” joke.

So no, the script didn’t flip.
The rules just got heavier for men,
and society calls it equality.

"Kaunsa career? Gali-gali football khelte the"

That’s it? After 20+ years of fame, medals, and applause, this is the level of maturity you’ve arrived at?
Mocking the very man who stepped back from his own career so you could chase yours without obstacles.

The same “gali-gali” footballer who stood behind you when there was no spotlight, no sponsors, no guarantees—only sacrifice.
And your summary of his contribution is that he “didn’t earn a single rupee”?

This isn’t confidence. This is arrogance powered by success and protected by a biased narrative.
When support is invisible, sacrifice is ridiculed—and men are reduced to disposable stepping stones once their role is over.

I get why people want a billionaire tax... The anger isn't irrational; it's a response to a system that feels rigged to some.

When someone worth $10 billion pays a lower effective tax rate than a schoolteacher, something feels wrong, and the system isn't broken by accident, it's working exactly as designed, and that design can be rethought!

If people knew the actual mechanics of how taxes work they would probably be even angrier. If Jensen Huang passed away tomorrow, it would be insanely sad, and-
His estate would pay roughly 40% in federal estate taxes, though with the right setup a lot of that could be avoided. His kids would inherit the remaining tens of billions in Nvidia stock with the cost basis reset to current value, erasing all the appreciation for tax purposes. They could then borrow $100M a year against it, and never pay income tax on any of it. It doesn't feel fair to the teacher paying income tax on every dollar or the software engineer taking home 55% of their paycheck. The frustration is justified.

It feels unfair to the teacher paying taxes on every dollar and the software engineer taking home 55% of their paycheck (California wtf!). The frustration people feel around that is justified! I think I pay too much in taxes too! But we have to pay them, and I think we should strive to build a tax system that is more fair.

But California's "one-time 5% billionaire wealth tax" is a terrible way to go about it
It doesn't stop the borrow-die-inherit cycle
It forces an exodus of exactly the wrong people
It creates perverse incentives without fixing any underlying problems.

Most people seem to have not read the act - here it is: https://t.co/DedQND6Rc9
it's bad and poorly written.

It's a residency trap. Pick a date, pick a line, and you create one giant incentive to leave. You only need a few top taxpayers to go (sounds like Thiel and Brin are getting ready), and California loses years of income tax, capital gains, and the gravity that keeps companies anchored here.

It unfairly punishes the wrong people. A founder with $1B on paper in a Series E startup isn't actually rich yet, that company could go to zero, they can't sell without losing control, and they're still working. A wealth tax forces them to find cash they don't have... you can say "they could sell shares" but not every company is even liquid enough to do that. Meanwhile, someone already liquid can structure around it with better lawyers.

The cheering from @RoKhanna "I will miss them very much" is shortsighted. Celebrating capital flight is celebrating a smaller tax base and bigger deficits. People who start companies are the growth engine of our state and country. Making them your enemy isn't progressive, it's self-defeating.

There's also a practical problem: net worth isn't a clean number. Public stock is easy. Everything else becomes a valuation fight. You'll create a cottage industry of appraisals and litigation.

If we want to address the unfairness, target the specific moves that make the system feel rigged.

Two ideas that actually map to the problem and are palatable IMO:

1. Tax large loans against appreciated stock above a high threshold (say $10M). If someone borrows $50M against stock to fund consumption, that's functionally income. This targets the "borrow to avoid taxes" play directly.

2. End step-up in basis for large inheritances (say above $10M here too). Step-up basis is why "they never pay." Ending it at high levels keeps incentives for entrepreneurship while reducing dynastic wealth transfers that were never taxed.

Those approaches don't punish illiquid founders. They tax moments when wealth turns into spendable cash, and they tax gains that would otherwise be erased.

TBH I don't know if $10M is the right number, just throwing a number out there that seems in the ballpark.

Finally - before we invent new taxes with big second-order effects, we need get our house in order. Middle-class people still pay enormous amounts in taxes, and we are wasting it. I'm not sure that 20% of the budget is fraud (what @elonmusk says) but we definitely have a bloated budget, both federally and in California. As we know from DOGE, it's really hard to fix. In California there is a lot of low hanging fruit though... we need to cut what isn't working and stop treating every problem with "we just need a new tax on a small group to make it work"

I'm not against wealthy people paying their fair share, and I don't think most of us are! I am against feel-good policy that backfires, shrinks the base, and makes the state less competitive. If we want fairness and a tax system people trust, we should go after unfair loopholes, not a headline.
