Everything is nearly finished, in terms of resources, for India - 1. There is little water left - in urban indian - wow all those highways, apartments and malls eh ?! 2. There is massive loss of biodiversity ignored by almost every indian living inside india 3. There is a slow migration of the poor, running away towards the West, however almost all illegally. 4. There is a clear impact of rising heat and severe winters, which will kill a lot of unprepared and poor peoples. 5. Indians in general are shit unhealthy, especially in the big cities. Aur Khao Aur App Dabao Middle Class Does Jayati Ghosh ji still not get the biophysical limits of the earth - or the 6th ongoing mass extinction. Does she still believe in economics, wealth accumulation, growth and profit much like all the Indians gathered here?

IGL is like "sprite" of all "left" channels. Seedhi baat no bakwas.

[@fun_ghoul]

Hmph. Maybe Sprite is better where you are. If you called me Sprite of x, I'd fight you! 😤

[@miophx8283]

I'd argue that every trade war is a technological war. Maybe every war, period. Wootz steel, gunpowder, cannons, siege machines, muskets, [innovations in ship hulls and sails, navigation and optics which I know nothing about, and so can't enumerate], modern (edit: conventional) explosives, modern firearms, aeronautics, nukes...

Off-topic: How is Chicago treating you? And how are you liking the weather? Definite change in your attire compared to earlier videos... ☃️

I moved last Fall, so it was a nice entry. Soon, the winter started. Now it is getting warmer again- blue sky, bright and long days, and obviously the lake is no longer freezing. I haven't bought much clothes. I don't tbh. But in spring break, I visited a friend at Pittsburg and bought the blue hoodie that you just saw.

[@IndiaGlobalLeft]

Where r u from? And how have you been?

[@AudioPervert1]

Also this year India, especially north and central is going to +2 degree C = Human Kabaab Time. The corresponding years, the average temperatures during summer will cross 50degree C many more times than now.

Almost like global warming has the effect of driving Global South workers northward, thereby assuring Porky a nice reserve army of labour all in one spot...
