@hseacpa @TrumpUpdateHQ Haha, yet another delusional American. Whole country is full of degenerates.

@TrumpUpdateHQ End H1B, stop offshoring, slap tariffs- they'll fold fast!!!

BREAKING: 🚨 India set to increase Russian oil imports by 10–20% this September.

@TrumpUpdateHQ Orange Man will be shitting bricks 😂

@ProfBabones Prof, I am not sure I follow you. If people working Uber & delivering food (predominantly Indian students) are the cause of falling productivity as you insinuate, how is it that the Indian community as s whole make up 2% of the population but contribute over 5% of taxes?

Why has productivity stagnated in Australia for the last decade? In one forbidden word: immigration. Read the latest Salvatore Babones Newsletter at: newsletter.salvatorebabones.com/p/australias-o…

@tangyoj @TulsiGabbard You sound like yet another MAGA loonie

To all celebrating Janmashtami around the world, I send you my aloha and best wishes on this most auspicious day. Jai Sri Krishna!

@DougWalker109 @TulsiGabbard Sounds like another brainwashed Christian loonie

@TulsiGabbard Isaiah 44:6 (NIV): “This is what the Lord says—Israel’s King and Redeemer, the Lord Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God.”

@oliver_adl @taipan168 It’s not one or the other, it’s a combination of both. I can’t think of a parallel in this regard.

Plenty of countries with tragic histories of their own and similar wealth levels don’t share nutrition related problems with the sub-continent though. And the dietary related health outcomes are shared in the (wealthy) Indian diaspora too. I’d argue it’s just a lack of knowledge on the issue at this point. Anyway; people can learn and get healthier if they wish!

I have had such delicious food in India that I will need to go on a starvation diet and an Ironman training program to recover! This is a Bengali-style thali from a restaurant specialising in Calcutta foods. So delicious! 😋😋😋

@oliver_adl @taipan168 Lack of protein can be attributed to country being majorly vegetarian, although that’s changing. The other point is affordability, as you know nutritious food isn’t cheap. When Brits left in 1947 after 200 years of plunder, poverty was 80%+, that’s how rice & wheat became staple.

@taipan168 used to appreciate Indian cuisine till I learnt macro nutrients and saw how deficient it all is in protein. Unfortunately why diabetes and a belly is so common for those eating this way. Pity because the flavors are amazing. You’d be holding a lot of water weight due to carbs!

@TurkishAirlines Hi guys, why am I unable to bring up my booking? Can you help?

@analyticflying Both the aircraft & the route is something they inherited from the pre-Covid VA. Not disputing what they are doing, PE is not a charity.

@PointsHq How is that different to any airline? They’re a business. Their goal is shareholder value. If it’s purely about the impact on short term profitability, then why operate CNS-HND and take on the B 737 MAX?

Fill a hole in Virgin’s network? Sure, but they could also fill it themselves. This might be a strong indication that Virgin have no willingness or ability to return capacity to NZ. This is one hell of a gift to Qantas & Jetstar.

Aeroplan appreciation Post : I booked Etihad First but will fly Emirates First, thanks to the good folks @Aeroplan Program. Here’s what happened pointshq.com.au/aeroplan-conti…

@analyticflying @British_Airways There’s actually over half a dozen fifth-freedom flights in Australia. And the economics by the look of the cabins appeared sound to me. pointshq.com.au/5-fifth-freedo…

@PointsHq Ever wondered why @British_Airways fly between Singapore and Australia? The economics of fifth freedom flights in Australia & why more airlines don't fly do it! analyticflying.com/what-limits-fi…

British Airways’ fifth freedom flight between Sydney and Singapore tends to fly under the radar. Here’s my experience flying them in First Class. pointshq.com.au/review-british…

@geofferyxc @DerekJGrossman @bagla There is no way in the world so many in India would hold such unfavourable Taiwan view. Something’s not right with this survey.

@DerekJGrossman @bagla Reputable doesn't mean they don't make mistakes, Western organisations still tend to see Asia as a homogenous region, which we all know are not true.

India has a Taiwan problem. 43% of Indians hold an unfavorable view of Taiwan—the highest level of all countries polled. And when India-China relations are in such awful shape. What gives?
