Maybe. But India is not the safest place in the world for girls. She must always be in some male company for her safety, atleast at night. I don't like her being in close proximity with other males. I don't think she will flirt back to anyone, ever, even if someone tries to hit on her. I do trust her. But I should be the one she relies on for safety, not some other men. I do trust her. I don't trust the men around her. The whole situation feels wrong to me. P.S you said in your 3 part video series on sexuality that having more sex for a woman decreases her value. Well in a stage blue partriachal country like India there are loads of girls who are adamant that they lose virginity only after marriage. I am merely exercising my options by wanting a "high value" girl. How does that make me needy? My only pain is going to be that I wasted her time and my time with breaking up.

She tells me everything once she is back home. But she doesn't like to be called on phone when she is out. The point is that she likes to be in positions where she may not be loyal.

Beautiful. There is no description of reality. Reality is itself. -
I can't be the only one who thinks this is a serious problem. Why do liberals act secretly act as conservatives in shadow? Why is that they show no intention in realising the progressive vision, when it's they, who are the one that have to give up? Maybe this is the clue for us to stop wishing that politics would work fine, only if the "other side" didn't exist. Instead to focus on ourselves and where we can change.

USA in many ways has two parties both of which are, right wing, for all practical matters. But yeah, relativistically @Terell Kirbysaid, left is less rooted in fear and preserving status quo. There are slightly better than right. But they don't embody what they stand for. There is still too much ideological biases in the left. And this must be talked about!! -
Everytime I raise an argument to tax the billionares in an attempt to reduce inequality and give power to the people, I get thrown the same question. The billionares net worth isn't tied up as cash. Instead their net worth is only becaue their stocks in their company is so large. So we can't tax them directly. Honestly it is a good question. For eg: If I have a T-shirt that is worth $30$, my net worth is also $30. Now lets say I got it signed by Roger Federer and now everyone wants it. People are willing to pay it $100 million for my shirt, but I haven't sold it yet. But my net worth also increased to $100 million. How shall I be taxed then? I want the most detailed and elaborative answer. Thank you.

Well it's the exact same timings for me too. 8.30-6 Pm and sometimes it can go further. The best option is for you to be strategic as fuck. Play the corporate game. You are in it anyway. Plan 10 years ahead. Use the little time you have in between work to prepare for exams or coding or whatever that can get you a good job. You can utilise your weekends well. Right now your priority isn't enlightenment or spirituality, but to have a solid foundation for life. I know exactly the kind of thing you are going through, because I have the exact same timings. But it won't be like this 10 years down the road.

What is your opinion regarding taxation backfiring? This is also the major right wing talking point. What if the rich simply leave taking away the jobs with them? Isn't that going to hurt everyone. Is practicality undermined when we dicuss taxation? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/dec/31/france-drops-75percent-supertax France taxed at 75% income earners above $1M and it led to 42,000 millionares leaving the country. Later it was scrapped. "In 1990, twelve countries in Europe had a wealth tax. Today, there are only three: Norway, Spain, and Switzerland. According to reports by the OECD and others, there were some clear themes with the policy: it was expensive to administer, it was hard on people with lots of assets but little cash, it distorted saving and investment decisions, it pushed the rich and their money out of the taxing countries—and, perhaps worst of all, it didn't raise much revenue." What is your opinion regarding taxation backfiring? This is also the major right wing talking point. -

@Leo Gura I think you are focusing on the end result too much. Of course we all want free schools, colleges & healthcare, funded by taxes on the top 1%. But the whole problem is that the top 1% is EXTREMELY GREEDY & MANIPULATIVE that they are not willing to redistribute their wealth. That's why we need a foolproof strategy to tax the rich. If you don't know how to deal with how to tax my $100m shirt, I am afraid you won't be able to touch billionares. Because that's how billionares avoid taxes in practice. I am NOT talking about some out of touch with reality abstract world. The only change is that they use fancy watches and fine art to evade taxes, instead of a shirt. You cannot sell a "portion of your shirt" like you do with stocks. Watch this video for more : But I get the idea with stocks. Above a certain degree of net worth( say $10m) , billionares must sell a portion of their stocks to pay wealth tax. I am sure that there will be some practical difficulties with implementing this as well, we have to discuss about this more as vast majority of people still think that billionare still hold billions of dollars in cash lol. This is just a projection of themelves. -

Distributing 199 billion isn't as easy since that money isn't tied up as cash. Instead that's the price of the stocks in Amazon. He can convert that money only if he sells those stocks. Please don't think so simplistically.
