Effective tax rate on petrol and diesel is between 40 and 45%. Diesel price in Pakistan is 33% higher than in India and 42% than in Bangladesh. This is unfair and unjustified.
Before #FIFA start pumping the propaganda tonight and telling us all how amazing this #WorldCup has been, let’s remember they oversaw:
- highest ticket prices ever and took a cut from resale sites.
- did nothing about Somalian referee and dozens of staff who were banned from entering the US for no legitimate reason.
- stood by as Iran were forced to train outside the US and travel in on match days.
- overturned red cards after phone calls with the president.
- Americanised the beautiful game with hydration (TV) breaks and 25 mins half time in the final
- guided Argentina through the tournament with less travel, VAR support and blatantly turning a blind due to their aggression and foul play.
🦧💔 Uno de los videos más desgarradores sobre la deforestación muestra a un orangután solo, estirando su brazo para intentar detener una excavadora que destruye su hogar.
LA HUMANIDAD DA MÁS ASCO CADA VEZ MÁS...
Germany and Britain are evacuating their diplomats from Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. The US has advised its citizens to leave the Middle East region. A lot of indications that massive escalations are being prepared.
Argentina are the only team out of all 48 participants not to have a single VAR intervention against them, despite committing the most fouls in the tournament. Do you even realize how insane that is?
Seeing one of gods most majestic and divine creatures, fight so valiantly against the destruction and rampaging of his home should do untold psychic damage to your psyche. We should be radicalized by this.

BREAKING: Iran sent a private message to JD Vance during Switzerland talks, warning that Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff were "abusing" negotiations — more interested in profiting from insider knowledge than reaching a deal, per Drop Site News.
Iran calculated $9 billion in profits from market manipulation by "individuals close to Trump" — and formally requested $4.5 billion of that sum be allocated to Iran through intermediaries. The Iranian official added: "The exchanged texts will ultimately become part of the historical record."
Iran also raised concerns that Kushner and Witkoff "talk almost every day to Netanyahu" and the Mossad chief — feeding Israeli intelligence with inside information from the negotiations.
The Trump administration denies the claims. Iran says the evidence will be made public. If confirmed, this is one of the most significant financial scandals in modern diplomacy.

How can the government afford to give Ukraine money while its own economy is dying?
