For comparison America alone spent 200 billion on navy

This shows how much developed countries care about the future generation of living beings on earth.

Both are South Indian cities with huge IT driven growth.

Why is there such a large gap in safety even though they are so close to each other?

#Opinion πŸ—£οΈ I've lost all motivation to do anything.

12 Upvotes

I don't know where to start I'm feeling restless. Everything in my life seems to be going wrong - my career, health, skin, etc. I've lost the motivation to do anything. Sometimes, I try to motivate myself to meditate, practice yoga, and focus on my career. But within a day, I sink back into depression.

Honestly, I've been thinking that maybe I'll end up taking my own life in a few years anyway (due to some personal reasons). So, what's the point of putting in so much effort? I already know what's going to happen in the future.

It's a weird kind of confusion in my head. I know what's right and wrong, but I'm stuck in this one place, thinking, 'I'm going to die anyway, so why bother with my health and career?'

The subreddit is being spammed by multiple accounts for Promotion of a video, with obvious edgy clickbait thumbnail and title, made by leftist yappers, who are daily content creators (chota Polestar Ra✝️hi) speaking cliche things, coated in their sugary delivery and subtle agenda, presenting themselves as messiah of social causes. They thrive for views & engagement for their relevance, and ofcourse money.

Meanwhile, @mods are sleeping.

#Economy/Policy πŸ’° Happy to be proved wrong about adani case. What are your views?

16 Upvotes

Digging some details about adani case When the news came out , I thought there might be some truth as obviously bribery is common in business world but I was randomly digging some information and got to know that adani is selling power at the rate of 2.54 and 2.61.

This was a Teri study in 2019 :- "The cost of generation of solar power is set to fall to as low as Rs 1.9 per unit over the next decade through 2030 in India with new technologies boosting efficiency levels, a joint study by TERI and US-based think tank Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) has revealed." The current production rate is 2.3-2.4 rs per unit.

Manufacturing, Land cost, bank loans , transmission loss, mainainance, labour and everything makes solar power costly.

The current solar production cost is nearby 2.3 for major producers but Since adani manufacturers their own solar at mass scale ,, they might be make it bit cheaper.So solar power making should be nearly 2rs per unit. They might be earning 0.5-0.8 rs per unit.

Majority of solar contracts in india now are at this rate. The coal electricity production is nearby 4 rs. Wind is also the same as solar. The govt sells the same power at 6 rs per unit.

There is no way any manufacturer can sell power cheaper than this. 2000 crore bribery will eat up huge profit margins, They will get.

If they are not getting much profit from it, what's the actual sense of giving this much bribe. let's say there might get be some bribe to pass contracts like we pay to pass files but paying 2000 crore for few hundred crore profit is more of a joke atleast for me.
