I get how hard it is to cut down on airline emissions. But the strict requirements on budget has significantly improved that number over the past few decades. Aircraft engines today are much less polluting than they were 30 or 50 years ago. Perhaps the goals shouldn't be dropped so easily.

What scares me about this is how lightly climate change is taken. "Yeah, I don't think we can do it. So we're going to just stop trying". Do you even realize what sort of trouble the humanity and this planet is in? Especially for a country dominated by its coastline?

You're going to be disturbed quite a lot. There are a lot of CEOs like that out there. For example, Jeff Bozos thinks that the Amazon warehouse workers are lazy. These sociopaths would be crying with joy if an employee died in the process of making them an additional fifty bucks of profit.

Whenever I see people promoting 'hustle culture' on TV, social media or books, I feel a strong urge to crush their skull with a big wrench. They are predators out to make money by fueling the insecurity of regular people.

They diverted the funding for AI? AI is already a way for rich crooks to steal and make money off public information, if not an outright hype that grifters employ to attract funding for their devious pursuits. None of this is AI's fault. But politicians should understand the type of people they are funding, instead of ignorantly falling for buzzwords.

They got the Mumbai city police to restrict or outright block traffic on some busy streets during the week of the wedding celebrations. The police commissioner describes the event as a 'public event' in his order.

Mumbai is the financial capital of India and its demography consists of one of the biggest metropolitan populations in the world, with everyone from the richest billionaire to the poorest of slum dwellers. The streets and trains are extremely busy and packed to their last square inch even on holidays. And then these filth block off these roads for a week!

Needless to say, ordinary people and business owners are livid. But these scum have so much wealth and even an autocratic government as their servants that they don't care about what others think. It's an obscene display of wealth, corruption, undeserving power and an outright FU to the regular citizens.

The bad laws were in place even before Imran - so that isn't unexpected. However, only a democratic government affords any chance of revisiting it. Arguing that the situation is the same now is completely disingenuous.

It's unlikely in the next 5 years anyway. The "emissary of God" won the elections, but lost the absolute majority. He is now the leader of a coalition government, with a stronger opposition to match.

I don't think that he can unilaterally order a nuke strike. It is decided by a command with a no-first-use mandate. Besides, he isn't the head of the forces. It's the president.

More likely that the giant snake is in a coil around you and with every breath you exhale, you realize that you can't inhale back in. This goes on until you lose consciousness due to asphyxiation. You won't be awake or perhaps even alive by the time the snake decides to start swallowing you.

Narcissists by nature are attracted to power - no surprises there. But remember that India is an electoral democracy. The people voted him into power. An appropriate comparison is that narcissists are like the flame and the voters are the moths. Voters are going to be burned by their choices (sooner than later) - they don't know it just yet. Just like the moths.

You seem surprised. Are you not familiar with his political career?

The rest of the world should sanction these US-based thugs and shame them constantly on the media. It's infuriating to see them commit all these atrocities and then smugly pretend to be the heroes.
