@NoLore The irony is Naz in a recent interview quoted Orwellβs essay Politics and Religion which basically says ..When people donβt want to engage in debate they call the other a fascist . This causes the word fascism to lose meaning and be a scapegoat to an open debate/seeking truth
@RealSuttice@TheBHentel He is reciprocating by telling him how to win at Boxing and teaching he needs to want to win the match at all costs . AB lesson is harder to stomach thus I get Deen reaction
@athishu_a7@Trevornoah Trevor is embellishing a bit . Maradona said he is not a natural leader which is true in my view. He is phenomenal beyond imagination but at that time he was not a General .
@joseph_kalimbwe Sata complained about him being born in Zim , he had to prove that despite being born in Zim both parents were Zambian . I think itβs That βKaunda β clause in the constitution which was inserted to try and remove KK who had a parent born in Malawi . Guy Scott was a victim of it.
@CiroDeSiena The biltong market is wild , itβs akin to the night club prices for alcohol. Insane mark up compared to fresh meat but your post is making me feel better about my own rip off
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.
@ThabaKoena@MbalulaFikile Zungu owns AmaZulu and it is having one of the club best runs in their history. It has not finished outside the top 8 since he bought it. Is he an ANC member ? Yes Is he a good football owner ?Yes. He is shrewd businessman who has invested in the games,i think he is a good pick
