Discussing issues like women safety or unemployment have unfortunately becomes Political issues in India now.

If you raise valid questions. And, ask for accountability on such basic things, you will be tagged as an anti-national, librandu and whatnot.

Worse: the failure of previous governments are brought into the mix. As a defence.

Okay, great. What does that solve exactly?

It is like if your mom asks: why did you fail your math test?

Your answer: well what about my friend, who also failed? Why don't you discuss that first?

If we don't even have the guts to acknowledge that problems exit, how will we solve?

Building great airports on public money is awesome (that's the easy thing). But, what's the point? If the safety standards are bad for international female travellers, who would stop coming.

And, every time the topic is brought up: an army of defenders come. And, troll people who are actually talking about that problem.

Illegal immigration needs to stop, but I’m super in favor of greatly expanding and simplifying legal immigration.

Anyone who proves themself to be hard-working, talented and honest should be allowed to become an American. Period.

Chandrayaan-3 Mission:
The Rover completed its assignments.

It is now safely parked and set into Sleep mode.
APXS and LIBS payloads are turned off.
Data from these payloads is transmitted to the Earth via the Lander.

Currently, the battery is fully charged.
The solar panel is oriented to receive the light at the next sunrise expected on September 22, 2023.
The receiver is kept on.

Hoping for a successful awakening for another set of assignments!
Else, it will forever stay there as India's lunar ambassador.

Finance Influencers DO NOT make money consistency.
So can you share your 3 year history?

Sure: there you go 👇

[I had already published my verified PnL; max option on Zerodha was for 360 days, which was done.

When option for 3 year comes, I will do that as well]

And, you can match this (screenshot) to verify yourself, if it is fake or not.

Meanwhile, please understand:

a. Not many people have the guts to share their PnL.
b. Not every finance educator is a fake influencer.
c. This is not a push that you should FOLLOW me. That is your call, whom you wish to consume your finance content from.

As an intelligent audience, push: that your MF managers, PMS, RIAs, Journalists should ALL disclose their personal verified portfolios.

This solves transparency problem in this space. And, we would NOT need to over-regulate.

People should play on MERIT, not LICENCES.
Encourage transparency, not 'more, more, more' regulation on everything.

A simple retweet from you would help this cause.

@Akshat_World @Akshat_World This is the same case here in the US, where media houses are party aligned just like in India.
I guess at the end it is a business and all businesses care is from where they get the money.

[Akshat Shrivastava @Akshat_World]

One of the biggest problems in (social media, media, and the world today) is the fact that we don't even want to listen to other people's viewpoint anymore.

Forget about healthy debates. Or thinking objectively. We start considering 'other' people's DIFFERENT opinions as pure poison.

[1] If we like party x; the social media feeds us 'pro party x' info all day.

Our belief system gets re-enforced. And, we think our thoughts > any thought.

We live in our bubble.

[2] We share that same bubble with millions of other people, who form a CULT.

And, they reenforce each other's *SAME* viewpoint.

By now, you have a social proof to the stupidity being peddled at scale.

This is what modern day brainwashing looks like.

[3] When a fraction of a population is brainwashed, you can't convince people with arguments anymore.

It is just hate spewing, trolling and justifying heinous crimes like rape & outright murder by using 'what-about-ery'

When we collectively kill human intelligence at scale. What will we be? A brain dead society.

I think the current generation is done already.

To preserve our future, I really wish that parents going forward, sensitise their kids towards social media consumption. And, being open to considering other people's different opinions.

And, teach them (literally teach them): how to THINK!

Elon Musk fired 6,500 employees at Twitter.

A little birdie told me it's down to:

- 2 designers
- 6 iOS developers
- 20 web developers
- Around 1,400 sales and operations people

How is it possible that we are still using this website?

Two words:

Parkinson's Law.

Have you ever wondered why seemingly simple tech companies have tens of thousands of employees?

Sometimes, it's because they have huge sales forces or tech support/operations people.

But often it's also due to Parkinson's Law.

Parkinson's law is like lighter fluid for bureaucracy.

It's a business tapeworm that slowly eats away at companies, making them less and less efficient and innovative over time.

Parkinson's Law is the idea that the work will generally expand to the amount of time, budget, and number of people allocated to it, and no matter how many people you allocate to it, those people will feel busy.

They'll feel busy because, due to the excess time/slack in the system, they'll start focusing on less and less important tasks.

Here's how it manifests on an individual level:

Let's say you have a report due in a week.

The report might only take you around five hours to finish if you really focus and work efficiently. However, because you know you have a week to complete it, you might find yourself spending a lot more time on it than you need to.

You'll be more prone to distractions, take longer breaks, or perhaps decide to add more details, tables, graphs, and so forth.

Essentially, the task becomes more complex and time-consuming purely because you have more time in which to do it.

And here's how it manifests across organizations:

Imagine a big tech company. A social media company with various departments. Each department has tasks that it must complete to contribute to the overall productivity of the company.

Now, suppose each department is given a budget and a set amount of time to complete its tasks for the year.

According to Parkinson's Law, each department will use its entire budget and the entire allotted time, even if the tasks could have been completed more efficiently.

This is because as resources and time increase, departments tend to become more complex and less efficient.

For example, a department might add more steps to its procedures, requiring more approvals and creating more paperwork, which slows down the process.

Or it might use the full budget on additional personnel or equipment that doesn't necessarily improve productivity.

The department might also use the full budget to justify the same or larger budget for the next year, since budgets in many organizations are often determined based on the previous year's spending.

This is a phenomenon known as "budget padding" or "spend it or lose it" mentality.

Inefficiencies can also develop in staff allocation. If a department expands, it might add managerial positions that aren't strictly necessary.

More employees are hired to manage, creating layers of bureaucracy that may not contribute to productivity and can even slow decision-making.

I have seen this occur over and over again in my career. The larger the team, the larger the budget, the longer the timeline, the less gets accomplished.

I'm very curious to see how many more tech companies come to this realization.

So often, good times + revenue growth = Parkinson's Law.

Excellent article on the decades old Dependent care FSA limit, its like punishing the people paying taxes and contributing to the economy. High time @POTUS to do this change. Paying more than 20k/yr. https://t.co/I79S2oJ43s

Interesting piece by @Forbes looking at a possible solution to address the employment-based immigration backlog.

A band-aid, but a step forward nonetheless. https://t.co/z2tH6esq5m

[Pramila Jayapal @PramilaJayapal]

It’s past time for a humane immigration system that provides a path to citizenship and respect, dignity, family unity, and real opportunity for all immigrants.

I hope we can finally get it done this year.

#GCbacklog My letter to @DrSJaishankar & @OIA_MEA requesting them to issue a travel advisory for F1 & H1-B.The environment in the US is not suitable for Indians and it is our moral duty to educate students and high-skilled workers against traveling & engaging with US institutions

[Sindhu Mahadevan @theusdropout]

Indians considering a move to the US MUST educate themselves about the serious immigration issues in America. The US is no longer a welcoming place for Indians. Better countries exist in the world where Indians are not blatantly discriminated against in immigration.

[Pramila Jayapal @PramilaJayapal]

It took me 17 years to become a citizen – and that was when waiting times were shorter.

The EAGLE Act would move to a first come first serve system that would no longer discriminate by birth country, without harming anyone currently in the backlog.

Introduced a bill with @SenKevinCramer to end arbitrary caps on employment visas. Let’s get it done!
