Similar things happened in West bengal in the late 1990s which my family faced in real life, my father bought a business in an industrial suburb of Kolkata during a period of widespread closures. He envisioned restructuring the business and creating a surrounding ecosystem for its success. However, despite attempts to navigate the political landscape through bribes, the venture ultimately failed. This wasn't due to the business itself being unprofitable, but rather due to constant public unrest and a barrage of frivolous lawsuits. While the lawsuits held no merit in court, they created a significant obstacle to long-term sustainability and ultimately prevented the restructuring efforts.My father died in late 2000s. later due to security reasons we stopped restructuring efforts and rented the infrastructure at very cheap price to smaller companies. all the other companies doesn't even employ half of the people when we run the business and the net Value addition is not even 1/4 th of it right now.

[@vatsalchandarana6347]

They are not stupid. They are corrupt marxists. The so called Ivy League universities are teaching Marxism and Marxist ideologies which have failed not just once but multiple times. And the puppet masters know it very well. But the puppets who are being controlled by puppet masters don't know it. Why do they not know it? Because most of them are very dumb. And the rest minority is very corrupt. And why are the majority puppets dumb? Because they are eating chemicals in the fast foods that the elites approve. Literal chemicals. For example, the baby formula that you feed to babies contains variety of chemicals which are very toxic and harmful. So naturally their brain development will not happen as it should. This will deprive them of critical thinking skills. Add to that the brainwashing that happens in schools. Add to that the media controlled by George Soros. Not to mention that drugs that are proven to have bad effects on overall health have been decriminalized in democrat states. And who is the puppet master of all this? The Jewish lobby like Rothschild, Soros and literal devil worshipping people who sacrifice babies in fire in honour of Satan and the Chinese Communist Party. If you think that the part of babies being sacrificed to a giant owl is false, then look it up yourself. Alex Jones is a person who literally recorded that video when he snuck into the Bohemian Grove in earlly 2000s when there was no deepfake AI or etc. And he was the same guy that predicted 9/11 like 2-3 months before it happened. He has been right about lots and lots of issues. Still don't believe it? Search up Operation Mockingbird by CIA. Listen to people like Robert Kennedy Jr and Vivek Ramaswamy and Patrick Bet David and Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan and Elon Musk and etc. Then what's the solution? The solution is that you have to stop watching porn, stop drinking alcohol, stop smoking cigarettes and Cigars, stop doing dr*gs, stop social media addiction. Eat very very healthy food, Do meditation, Don't watch mainstream news, get educated about the real history and improve critical thinking skills. Now figure out how are you going to do this all to prevent becoming a slave. And lastly make a ton of money. And so vote responsibly. Hint - The democrat states are a complete mess like California New York etc.

Inheritance tax != Hating the rich. If you agree with the entirety of the video then you'll also agree that inheritance tax doesn't discourage builders. As a wage earner I'm tired of footing the bill on everything while a person inheriting money doesn't have to pay any tax. While you can protect builders, you also have to take care of workers. You can't only appease a single side and suck out the blood from the others. What incentive does that leave for a talented worker to not move out of India to a place that has lesser taxes. You have to balance both sides and inheritance tax is one way to do it while also uplifting the weaker section of the society. I don't hate the rich, I hate cronies which are multiplying every day in India, if electoral bonds issue isn't proof enough I don't know what is.

Protectionism is a double edged sword in most case, reducing the protected sectors performance to worsen compared to global companies, best example is India's Steel industry. It can also lead to inflation due to increased costs as domestic manufacturers don't have to worry about competing with cheaper foreign alternatives, affecting downstream industries also. Although it makes sense that some trade protections are necessary against a country like China, once even minimal protectionist laws are brought in place, they can be expanded rapidly, and really hard to get rid of.

This video lays out one aspect of why the US is declining. In my view, one of the BIGGEST reasons for this decline is throwing away meritocracy in favour of DEI initiatives and meritocracy was the primary reason people from Asia, Africa and many other Eastern European countries moved to the US until the late 2000s. China was communist and an economic basket case and once they embraced the Singaporean model of meritocracy they leaped ahead to where they are today. The list of reasons for the decline of the US is long. Homelessness, Lack of community, NIMBYism and I’ll even blame people such as BlackRock who are buying up homes and are becoming predatory. While we can debate about the number to which billionaires must be taxed, the real reasons are often something else. East Asia still holds more meritocracy but they have a different set of problems such as low birth rates (0.7 in South Korea!)

If you are thinking rich people are evil just by thinking they have more money then you are really dumb to save you. Finally, a hard earned money is real money, irrespective of any loop hole.

This is scary how people advocate to give more money to a billionaire. What is more scary is what people think brings value to a company or a country.

Steve jobs, Elon musk and Elizabeth holmes are good at theatrics and believe in fake it till you make it (Steve jobs and Elon musk got away with it while Elizabeth got caught). Steve jobs was so full of himself that he felt he knew better than the doctors and refused proper scientific treatment for his cancer and died. Anyway I digressed, getting back to Elon, on the one side you have an egotistic billionaire who keeps taking credit for the work done by brilliant engineers and scientists. As a leader he has failed time and time again, he has never meet a product dead line, 1 year miscalculation is acceptable, but everything he promises is delayed at least 5 years, this shows that he doesn't have good understanding of the workings of the company, yet he proclaims he knows more about mass production than anyone in the world and people believe and even applaud this guy, even though the evidence show otherwise. On the other hand you have smart engineers who try to make a decent car despite a fool running the company setting impractical deadlines because he doesn't understand intricate complexities that might arise that an experienced engineer can anticipate. What sets Elon Musk and Steve jobs apart from other boring logical CEOs, is that they keep believing they are geniuses even though it is not evident, so much so that other weak minded people also start believing it. One might argue that they are in fact geniuses because they are the richest people in the world. But, they are successful because majority of the people are not critical thinkers and are drawn to the personality that they portray rather than actual positive impact a person has on the society, a certain historical figure from Germany comes to mind as an example. A country will be successful if they figure out a way to reward brilliant problem solver rather than phony charlatans who become billionaires by shady practices. I hope people think critically and avoid becoming a fan of anyone.

You are right and wrong. It seems you never created something difficult enough. I may be wrong but it could be the case. I can say you should try and create something years ahead of others imagination, and then see if you'd expect people to appreciate the product you deliver or despise you for the deadlines you missed. The deadlines are abstract entities, that hold no intrinsic value in themselves other than acting as system milestones for process pipelines. What he delivers matter much more than when he delivered. And the umbrella statement of "everything was delayed 5 years" is also a misguiding statement, when in-fact none of his competitors outproduced him before him. He sets his own deadlines years ahead of his competition, then gets delayed, yet he remains years ahead of competition. So his delays have no inherent flaw. You are the one who is flawed in valuing a run of the mill CEO of claiming 10yrs to make something and taking 10 as smarter than someone else claiming 2yrs to make something and delivering in 7, that too a superior product in most cases if not all. I urge you to pick absolutely anything and try to create it from scratch.

@@suyashneelambugg It is really presumptuous of you, and you totally missed the point. I was merely urging people to be critical thinkers and not jump to premature conclusions like you just did. A person who truly understands the problem and maintains good relationships with their employees will know how long it will take to create something difficult. Yes, I would consider this person to be smarter than the self-proclaimed genius (usually a sign of stupidity) who sets outrageous deadlines and exploits their employees, who are probably smarter than him, sacrificing their personal time to meet the deadline. To create something difficult, you need a passionate and driven team, an individual cannot do it alone. A person who has actually tried to create something would know that. Does he choose to recognize the contributions of others or take all the credit for the work? That is a question of the character of the person rather than their mental aptitude. You are assuming that the sole reason for Tesla producing decent electric cars is because of a single person. I could delve into why I think Elon is just like Elizabeth Holmes, but I have already spent far more time on this comment section than I can afford (I have better things to do). However, anyone who logically examines the facts rather than blindly idolizing someone can obviously see it.

From 1776 to 2024 it is has only been 248 years and America is already declining. What an embarrassment. Inca and Maya civilizations lasted for thousands of years. Nobody will remember America for how short of a time they lasted.
