No it's all true China and Russia have been looking at ways to destabilise the US economy for decades, they don't like the USA being top dog, with cashless they are able to whittle their economy down, with no cash it may take a few years but they can bring it to its knees, the gold currency is true l assure you, read classified docs on it, of course Berlusconi was a crook he had his fingers in many pies, including subjects we must not discuss, dictators are never far away one day you don't have them the next you do, every single one has stolen power that way, incidentally there is a good chance they will have their farms stolen under Modi just look what he did with the currency it became worthless over night, he does not give a dam about poor farmers especially where corporate profit is concerned.

[Karl Fenn]

If you look at Modi and his track record he has made massive cuts to the poor, on education, large cuts to health care, and many other social economic cuts, he wants a dominant central government and privatisation much in common with Margret Thatcher comming from similar background, and a good former friend of Donald Trump, his hands are dirty because his cuts have lead to the Indian health care chrisis they now face, and lower education, he is certainly not in favour of improving the lives of the poor, massive tax cuts to the already rich, and imposing sales taxes on the less well off.

[Arschloch]

I was of the impression that Modi was quite opposite of what Trump was trying to stand for. Anyway I hope you are wrong and they don't succeed to turn their farmers into a large scale conglomerate. While you may need a large organisation to bild complex industrial machinery, you may not need it to grow good organic food.

The US is doing a fine job of destabilizing its own currency.
Actual inflation is at least 10 times what the gov't reports.

[Karl Fenn]

Well don't you think it's the same in the UK of course the BBC give them a helping hand, they seem to think people are stupid and can't note the prices week by week, if you want a good intelligence dossier on Modi just look on wickapedia.

All they have to fight this mutation with is proper mask technique, hand hygiene and try to maintain personal space. Modi opened up too soon and didn't emphasize the importance of these simple steps to slow the spread.  There is a lesson here for the rest of us. All the vaccine in the world won't help if your personal behaviour accelerates the spread faster than the innoculations can be given. Wear your mask, get the jab, don't give mutations another breeding opportunity within your own skin. The good news is that the CiC is trying to get vaccines flowing India's way. Brazil is another hotspot not getting attention, and it's within driving distance from us. Until around 80% of us have gotten the jab, mask up and slow the spread here. There's nothing stopping a new Covid mutation from being 10% lethal instead of 1%. Be responsible and do your part.

Modi did the "right" thing this time to open up, which is why he got "f***ed" by his so called friends who sold him onto the cashless society crap. I think everyone actually knows it.

Wow. Bodies piling up in the street and it's all the fault of becoming a cashless society, not proper attention to appropriate public health strategy by an elected, sitting official. That's some real ultracrepidarian thinking you have going there. Is the cashless part come in to play where they can't buy enough firewood to cremate their dead fast enough? Or maybe where the farmers can't afford the Monsanto/Bayer gene-edited self-sterile seeds designed to survive the Monsanto/Bayer designer herbicide/pesticide regimen they have been sold? As Gizzo pointed out, the poor of India are the consumable commodity; but people for some reason really resent it when you try to kill them off, and now they can vote.

...100% correct. Monsanto/Bayer likely been promoting the cashless society too. They benefit on expense of the little farmer + pay a "controlable" tax.

Well this is the problem they are already pushing up taxes and making draconian cuts, in the UK there is such a shortage of affordable housing in a decade much of the young generations will be homeless, they are all living overcrowded with family, five cars to one house it's madness, local government keep pumping up taxes to pay for their golden plate life styles and the poor fall deeper into the abyss with no hope of securing a future, all these governments are highly skilled in hoodwinking and deception.

According to our news media, the same thing is happening in California and especially in the San Francisco Bay Area, where it is tough to find a home at anything less than $1 million. And if you do find one at that price, there are 20 other people who want it and are willing to bid against each other to buy the home.  A friend of mine tried to buy a nice little cottage about 10 miles north of Oakland with an asking price of $1.5 million. 25 bidders raised the final selling price to $2.5 million!   

Our politicians tell us that the only way the problem can be fixed is with lots of government spending to build "affordable" (whatever that is) housing. The latest news is that the mayors of California's largest cities want the legislature to give them $4 billion a year for the next 5 years and they will solve the "homeless" problem in our state. They say they know how to do it and all it will take is lots of money. The legislature appears posed to provide that money by "taxing the rich" (who already provide around 50% of the state's income) even more than they do now. No one has asked if the rich that will be taxed even more will include the Governor.

Same thing in Sweden, the politicos have a wast intresst on forever rising housing prices. Who eventually leaves is the wealthy company owners and builders and those who can´t afford the rent. Global warming solved = place depopulated, although the population density / sq. mile is almost next to nothing already today. Due to the environmental conditions you can´t exactly survive in a tent. So what exactly those Gretas are trying to achieve is oblivious, probably just trying to compete with some idiocracy like they have in California.

The solution for the rich in this state is to just move and relocate to a state like Nevada where there is no income tax or to Texas where they don't give a shit what you do as long as you have a "big iron" strapped to your hip.

Texas sounds great, I bet the "big iron" strapped to your hip inflicts mutual respect between the citizens. Everyone should wear one in Sweden since the corrupt serucity pigs and polise run around and blackmail everyone all the time.

[Karl Fenn]

Well sweeden is not the only place the police run lawless and blackmail, we have it here to and they get the help of the crooked courts and bent lawyers to which there are a never abundant supply, they are a corrupt club who have the capacity to destroy people's lives, a real mafia very real, with plenty of dodgy reporters to help them along the way, of course sooner or later the shit will hit the fan with this housing crisis homeless people are pilling up, but rest assured Boris will be over the hills and far away by the time that happens, all we witness now is false promises decade after decade.

...you mean he plans to escape to Argentina and live happily ever after togeather with Mrs. Honecker from the former east germany?
