Everyday you learn something new. I have heard of 97% IT. Thought that was one of the crazy govt diktat. Only now I understand the nuance of the "97% income tax" in India

Will Europe remain just a museum piece for visiting history or will it transform itself into something to be recognized as a power in the world? Unless it finds it roots and leave all the "politically correct diversity" non-sense, it will deteriorate further.

Interesting that a report commissioned by French & German govt is in English.

I am a millionaire. Axis bank had 3 relationship managers for me! All to sell loans and credit cards Feels good to be chased 😜

Hate always comes to bite those not in the core. True in India. True in the US. Lots of Indians supported MAGA (probably Modi magic pushed it too) thinking it will not affect them. Now it hits them. Same thing happened in India too.

Hi @ejames_c read your recent essay: Is this specific to select “small” mats or applicable to all small mats. I work with Indian IT firms in 2nd tier cities. For long they had enuf “big enuf” market to profit from. But tarriff war & AI is disrupting

Ordering food in train journey in India is possible Recently took a train from Chennai to Karaikudi. Ordered food from a Trichy restaurant via @Swiggy They delivered food ordered on time (train stops for 5 min) Unbelievable "atom & bits" logistics in place for this to happen
