Last year, when the wheat price crashed, Govt discovered free market principles and did nothing. Now that the wheat price is rising, Govt is conducting raids to recover 'hoarded' wheat. Scamming small farmers is a pillar of PMLN's economic management

A PM in UK visits a hospital ward, the incharge doctor gets angry, asks the PM to leave asap and PM says sorry. Meanwhile in Pakistan, a fkn babu can barge in with his entourage and cameras and harrass any healthcare worker he wants and make tiktoks about it.

Never forget Justice Saqib Nisar started this culture of humiliation & public theatrics. It was cheered & rewarded & that poison spread everywhere.
Now every petty official or politician with a camera team thinks intimidation is governance and public shaming is leadership. +

Oil prices are a scam hand in glove with oil marketing companies!

It’s not an aarti ritual. They’re bringing in the mehndi that is brought in with diyas. Maayoon, mehndi, dholak, ghori charhna, ubtan/haldi/mehndi lagaana, vail dena, and a lot else are all part of our syncretic culture.
60% of Pakistan is Punjabi. These are Punjabi traditions. There’s zero ‘identity crisis’ around them for most people.

- Open a VPS account. Keep allocation at 100% equity, and grow wealth tax free. Get tax credit on salary. Contribute every month
- Avoid direct investment in PSX, unless ETFs. You will not be able to handle volatility, and information asymmetry
- Keep a Savings Account -- if a bank says it cannot be done, push harder
- Keep surplus cash in a Money market fund
- Do not buy a plot. High chance you will lose it all
- Do not invest in apartment project. High chance it will be stranded, and you will lose it all
- Target buying an average of 1 gram of physical gold every month (you can buy every quarter or whatever) -- regardless of price. Do not buy silver, or copper, etc. - unless you manufacture fans for a living
- Max out any available government housing scheme loans; this is the only property you should buy
- Keep renting; this is the most economically efficient decision
- Do not buy anything offered by bancassurance or that says life insurance savings plan. Run for the exit. Block their numbers.
- Do not invest with family.

British journalists tracked down the person behind a viral Islamophobia and anti-Black Facebook account (Britain Today), used by racists and far right extremists. It's a Pakistani man based in Pakistan.

Finally, I was able to visit Khudee Cafe in #Karachi. Found out about it, of course on #ZHK around 2 years back. Had bookmarked it.
A café run by differently abled children. ❤️
Excellent ambiance. Must visit.
A great hangout place.
Do promote.

Famous clothing brand Charcol’s Saddar branch has outsourced security guards being paid just Rs 25000/month for 12 hours shift, 30 days straight, no off. Legal minimum is Rs 40000/month for maximum 8 hours/day + minimum 1 weekly holiday. This is criminal

South Waziristan before and after tree felling. Who is responsible for this criminal act, public must know

[Ahsan Shami @ar_shami]

this is the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen; it must be punished by law. The ground water shouldn’t be used as a dam. The water evaporates overtime, hence resulting in depletion water levels.

This is the misuse of solar energy.

People need to understand the conservation principles…!

We’ve to conserve our water table else we will be left without it.

[MiIdly lntoxicated @payenihari]

38% tax on cement
35% tax on electricity
33% tax on Petrol
35% tax on mobile charges
38% tax on broadband (only one of the few countries to tax broadband)
65% tax on cars
50% income tax
53% tax on mobile phones

Yet they still can't meet their tax targets and you have to pay bribes to every single sarkari entity out there just to do business.
