for anyone who spent 90s in delhi - wont remember 'smog' issue, diwali pollution issue being a major 1 before 2000?

for anyone who spent 90s in delhi - wont remember 'smog' issue, diwali pollution issue being a major 1 before 2000?

There is a very $ reason for it

2000s remember "Call centers" and their mushrooming overnight - all over India?

One of the side effect of "opening economy" is opening it up for all its 'side effects' too

Punjab - not a 'water rich' state.

Subsidized water/electric/ grey market GMOs with promise of more 'profit' to 'poor land owning' farmers and little $$ encouragement

=> voila - rice in NCR is profitable

then time the straw burning with "diwali"

=> perfect receipe

=> locals are 'just wild neanderthals'

==> no one raises the issue of growing rice in land which is parched of water for 8 months

artificial $$

cancer++

"genius whiners++"

'unsolvable mystery much'?

After Thoughts

Thoth:#1

in an iot/ai era - 'farmers feed the nation' implied guilt is kind of oversold

thars, tractors at delhi - by poor/victim farmers?

or just incompetent leaders on wheel - who invest more in pr than 'preventing public property from predictable destruction'?

it is all paid by 1% taxpayer

yet - a 12 pass nepotist, populist, hard to reach ugly guy gets to spent it - without ??

aadhar just works 1 way?

Thoth:#2

vax - genetic hacking - the west intellect has been really about 'owing nature' or nature is enemy - hacking it

gmos - 1st attempt

vax - 2nd

have they got any good?

'side effects' are 'expected results'?

cant really say with billy as lead scientist - windows os really underlines the 'uptime', 'reliability' and no reboots

nature - earth - mother in cosmic terms

sun - cosmic father

some ppl cant seem to 'rely' on them - when that is the only time tested, reliable forces we have...

something baphomet like there?

Thoth:#3

in 90s - it was real 'dense fog' - not smog of today. 😀
