#Governments don’t serve the people. They serve themselves to get richer and to gain more power.

#Governments like their citizens to be dumb, ignorant, misinformed, never ask questions, never protest against their policies, never disobey their mandates.

April 20th - Solar Eclipse in Aries with Rahu
So the most fearsome time of the year has finally arrived. You will soon start seeing the effects. Everyone will feel its negative effects in some way or the other. Nature will also show her anger . #solareclipse #governments

As this Solar Eclipse is happening in Aries and being aspected by Saturn you really have to be careful.
Take care of the health of father and fatherly figures. This Eclipse is going to be extra powerful because Rahu is with the Surya

Surya represents leaders and Rahu represents extremes and events that are shocking and surprising. The Eclipse will be the set off period which will keep on showing adverse results till the end of this year.
🧵The #fiscalconservativemyths around good government being dependent on #balancedbudgets and ridiculous comparisons of government budgets to household budgets is about to arise yet again. Let's check these myths out.
Do economists believe that the budget should be balanced each fiscal year? No, a budget should be balanced only on average; it can be in a deficit during a recession and offset by surpluses when the economy is doing well.
A balanced budget refers to total budget expenditure being equal to the total budget receipts. Adam Smith and other classical economists advocated the concept of balanced budget. They claimed a balanced budget is the best since it has a neutral effect on the economy.
There’s always a constant struggle between the #Government and you the citizen. The larger the government, smaller the citizen. Governments tend to get larger with time increasing their powers, increasing their departments and spending.

[2/19] To begin, if you are completely unfamiliar with #CBDCs and the #Ripple solution, here is a nice place to start:
[3/19] One important reason for using a private version of the public #XRPL is that a central #bank needs to be able to control the #money supply.
Why use a private ledger ❓
▶️ Central banks and #governments must be able to mint and destroy #currencies.

My big wish for #European #energy in 2023 is that the @EU_Commission and European #governments push the rollout of #smartmeters and #smarttariffs across the continent.
Why do I say that? Because #smartmeters and #smarttariffs give #energy customers the ability to control their own destiny by enabling them to switch off and on devices depending on how expensive #powerprices are.
#smartmeters and #Smarttariffs enable new #businessmodels such as what @OctopusEnergy are offering. In addition, #digitalisation will allow the smoother and quicker integration of #EVs into the system as well as smart #heating.

Some say the OG was telegraphy, which allows us to share messages globally through electrical signals.
Others say it was the first network of local computers from the 1950s...
In any case, these pseudo-internets are certainly part of the recipe.

1️⃣The new #governments emerging from #web3
What do governments do?
They collect #taxes and #buildpublicgoods such as roads, bridges, dams, etc.(this is oversimplified)
They also print money cause inflation and taxes people indirectly!

2️⃣who is deciding which public goods to fund?
Mostly by the government representatives who are elected by the people. Most of the government's representatives, don’t represent people's interests most of the time because of personal biases, and corruption.

As the strength of the chain depends on the weakest link. The weakest link in the current government power structure are the corrupted representatives who make decisions in favor of their personal benefits.

#PSX losing charm every passing day? Activity at the bourse says so…

While in we are aware of lack of interest in equities, I did some working on turnover in PSX. It’s a disappointing one (see chart below). #PSX is trading $45mn p/d on avg. these days – just a notch above what we used to trade back in the end of 1990s. Yes, let that sink in.

While this is saddening, this shd be questioned! #Tech has picked up which shd hv made investors’ access easier; businesses are making money, thus attract investors; both buy & sell side of capital markets hv grown in size. Yet why have we only fallen down rather grow?

But we also heard a lot about #DigitalPublicGoods (#DPGs). Like... A LOT a lot.
So, what's the connection between #DPGs and a just, #inclusive #DigitalTransformation? Why have so many #donors, national #governments, and #tech experts alike expressed interest in #DPG solutions?

Well, they all agree that #DigitalTransformation is at a tipping point globally, with the divisions between wealthy and developing nations especially stark: 96% of the world's unconnected people live in developing countries.

DIAL thinks about #partnerships in everything it does—in fact, were founded in 2015 by a partnership of #global #donors seeking to connect incredibly promising #DigitalDevelopment efforts that had failed to achieve #scale.

Gifts cannot be priced.
#Governments that offer #dole as part of the economic programs are akin to such gifts.
By adding a price ticket to every incentive awarded as a gift, a lot of waste can be screened and saved.
Leads to better management of public financial resources!

This principle of the national minimum is a political economic gift that can bankrupt a sovereign nation and completely distort its national psyche and narrative.

Yesterday, after a long discussion with a close family member who is a US MD phd, we agreed that with world's best #contagion models (% masks & social interaction) available in world today, the covid take-off could at best have been predicted 7 to 10 days before it exploded...2/
2/covid #Covid Pragmatic suggestion is to ban all #Social gatherings of > 7-10 people (indoors & outdoors), till curve turns down, but don't stop economic activity (w cumplusory masking, distancing). Once curve flattens, outdoor gathering restrictions can be eased with masking
