Such tragedies after a few days of hyperbole are to be lived as individual sorrows. There will be no mass angst against illegality, comprised building codes, rent seeking state actors and subaltern governance.
Perhaps like in the HauzRani fire of Delhi, where a cook was arrested for the tragedy, here too the guard can be arrested to show semblance of order.
Allan Greenspan was Ayn Rand's most devoted disciples. He was a regular at her NY place, where she held court on philosophy, politics, and economics. He was in awe of her fantasy of Objectivism — the idea that rational self-interest is the highest virtue, that laissez-faire capitalism is the only moral economic system, and that government intervention is inherently destructive.
He mainstreamed Ayn Rand's fantasies into US policy and such was this lure of his that he ended up serving as Fed Chair under 4 US presidents and in other roles under two (Ford and Nixon) and across the divide. What J Edgar was to FBI, he was to Fed.
Ayn Rand's fiction ended up in utopia but Allan Greenspan's ended in the financial crisis of 2008 and from which the world has never really recovered. Most of perverse excesses, prolific inequality and environment degradation that we see in the world today can be traced back to one or many of his calls at some point in time.
His life and role is a tale of caution and that needs deeper debate as he moves on. RIP Allan

@titaneyeplus I've already shared the details that were asked of me. Bouncing the ball back to my court may sound very proactive and meaningful on X but it's really not making any real-world difference.
Bought this @Fastrack frame and lens from @titaneyeplus and it has warped in such a weird way. The store says they cant do anything about it. Such a shame after paying so much to get this response and service
@vfsglobalcare COULD YOU PLEASE HELP ME LOCATE THE TRANSACTION DETAILS OA PAYMENT FOR US VISA B1/B2? THE APPOINTMENT TAKEN ON THE BASIS OF THIS PAYMENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED AUTOMATICALLY, LESS THAN 10 DAYS BEFORE THE DATE. WHAT CAN I DO?
@nothingindia@nothingsupport after the latest update the loud speaker volume of my phone is so low i have to hold it up to my ears to hear anything. The camera has a buzzing sound while recording. Not even been a year since I got Nothing 2 and already so unhappy! I want a refund
@TataPlayBinge@TataPlayin Closure of Tata Play continues to be a nightmare of epic proportions! Serial number of AFTVS device to be collected from us doesn't match their own records! This is a device installed and serviced exclusively by their own network of field agents for yrs
@TataPlayin such pathetic customer service lately! Unable to view channels due to some hardware fault and no one calls or comes to attend. Tickets keep closing on their own. Name change means game change? I remember when tata sky set industry standards in customer care. A shame.
I often think, no Asian American leader who was as stupid and unqualified as Trump would have ever been elected president.
But then I think, that's not a fair comparison. There aren't any Asian American leaders as stupid and unqualified as Trump.
#ClimateChange#AustralianBushfire if this does not wake us up then nothing else will. A joey met a tragic end while trying to escape the bush fire in #Australia . Concern for environment need to become supreme in our choices, values, social order and politics
