Great thread with a last post that hits home.
Who's the worst cartoon character?
I vote Henry, the dad from Dennis the Menace. He's a mask deliberately invented to whitewash the identity of his creator, Hank Ketcham, one of the worst men to ever make comics.
It's gonna take a thread.

The minions of the Divider-in-Chief decided to boycott Turkish products—a country with which we have a trade surplus. They can't vent their anger on China as they're far superior, so they decided to channel all the energy to Turkey, with whom we have a flourishing trade.

Some Hindutva regimes are running their own little extreme versions of it apart from the large one we see through Union government.
The directions come months after violence broke out in Sambhal on November 24 after a group of Muslims objected to a court-ordered survey of the Shahi Jama Masjid in Chandausi town.

Although the malpractice mentioned here is of a different kind but the very first such instance was reported in the Bihar 2020 assembly election. If all the parties had been steadfast in their demand at that time, it would've been easier to fight it now when the malpractice is rampant.
INDIA parties are pooling ‘technical expertise’, exchanging information and coordinating behind the scenes on the alleged vote rigging by the Bharatiya Janta Party.

Unlike a lot of people, I don't think these comments are signs of one being senile; rather, it's a corporate push to relax labour laws in favor of corporations and increase working hours altogether.
L&T chairman says labourers are unwilling to work or relocate for jobs due to the availability of welfare schemes and a preference for comfort.
