So, Government of India is completely dependent on TAXES from employees?
How can I know where are my tax money going? How are they using?
English
@venkatatweets Because more commission to politicians and authorities?

On what basis is the toll gate rates being increased? The roads are in the same condition. So why are the rates going up?

We are the only species working on making our own jobs obsolete.

Bhanu Chander Reddy lost his job in the US and was unable to find employment again. He was laid off as part of the AI -driven layoffs. What is unfolding is probably worse than what we saw unfold during COVID. Geopolitics, war, AI.

Israel must be destroyed.
Destroyed like the Nazis were destroyed.
Their leadership convicted and hung.
Their ideology rooted out and eradicated.
Brutalized to the point that ever trying it again becomes unthinkable.
Burn it down and salt the earth.

@BaluGorade It may not be just AI. Corps just are greedy and would lay off for short-term gains, too.
English
Amazon and TCS laid off 30k each.
Oracle is also laying off 30k.
If AI is taking jobs, it won't be limited to IT and tech.
Do you still think your job is safe?

@BaluGorade @IndiaNewGen And no need to work, lucky ones.

@CleverlyChic Who said it's the best career path? Certainly not in India when most work for service based orgs. It's just glorified and glamorized with big numbers. The reality is far away.

@mainbhiengineer Wish it happens, but the government doesn't miss any opportunity to tax salaried class.

So many layoffs happening, India should immediately make severance pay tax free. It is ethically, morally, financially wrong to tax someone who is at their worst possible stage of life after job loss.
If you can't support your taxpayers directly, atleast don't punish them.

@Pran10000 @prahladraj85 @NamitaJaiHind There is uncertainty industry wide, and not many are hiring. Even if they do, it is mostly short-term. Absorbing 12k people would be difficult in the current situation. This is not the end, there might be more layoffs in the upcoming weeks.

People who get laid off after 25 yrs experience will still have money/ investments. Oracle has just laid off middle management ppl in the 10-15 yrs experience bracket. Typically this segment has young / older kids, EMIs and expenses. Everyone may not be so well off, 40% Indians are laid off.
Tax on severance pay should not be there.

Tech guys are the highest paid in the country. Have been fortunate enough to earn in lacs. Priority should have been to save & not overspend..Both my uncle's after 25+ yrs got laid off...took retirement at 50...saved loads of money incl land, jewels,MFs etc etc .

Agree 💯
We should use machines for such tasks and make it easier for humans.

Instead of romanticising this, we should talk about how to standardise Health & Safety measures in every business. This is a health hazard that will leave this man disabled for life.

TRUMP: “Americans don’t care about $4.00 gas prices, they’re feeling a lot safer now that we got rid of that madman called Khamenei.”
Translation: “I’m Israel’s bitch and don’t care about Americans.”

The strait was open. He starts a war. The strait closes. The world economy gets fucked. He doesn’t know what he’s doing, he gets bored, he declares victory, and he tells the rest of the world to open the strait, to clean up his mess. He’s such a prick. He’s such a destructive prick.

@dhanesh500 I gave up long ago bro. Investing doesn't make sense when the market just keeps falling. There is no limit to the fall.

You need almost ₹10cr to be a dollar millionaire in India now
If retail investors continue their SIP of ₹50,000 every month, they will achieve this milestone in 108 years
This is the power of investing

@JasonBassler1 Have they even tested it properly to ensure it works as intended?

Let me get this straight…
Palantir now controls:
– 30+ federal agencies
– DHS-wide data fusion
– Health surveillance infrastructure
– Master list database of all Americans
– Law‑enforcement “precrime” intelligence
And now the Pentagon is making Palantir AI its core military system.
One company...
Running government.
Running the military.
Running surveillance on all of us.
What could possibly go wrong?

*taps the sign*
"corporations will create jobs if you give them tax breaks" is the lie billionaires tell so you support giving their companies more tax breaks.

BREAKING: Oracle has reportedly begun layoffs, with 30,000 employees likely to be fired, per the Deccan Herald.

@MeruOnX Nope. They shouldn't stop. Folks should be there 10-15 mins before departure.
English
AI or not, corps simply layoff people to improve their bottomline for the short term and boost their stock prices. It's the quick shortcut theu adopt. But they don't bat an eyelid when increasing package for executives. Cost cutting applies to folks who are not in Upper mgmt.

My mama is at a very senior position at Oracle, Bengaluru, and what he told me today honestly broke my heart, he said the situation is really bad, people he personally knows, hardworking, talented, 15+ years in the company, just terminated like that, and it’s not stopping, today it’s Oracle, tomorrow it’ll be some other company (he even named a few), all this because of increasing AI takeover, and the worst part is they can’t even do anything about it, his WhatsApp and mail are now filled with job requests, people asking for help, referrals, anything… share price is up, sure, but at what cost ? Gave their life to one company, replaced in weeks.

@mshahi0024 Why wasn't the bus slowing down? The driver didn't hit the brakes?

Hope this instills some sense in the authorities mind.

Bengaluru Citizens Stage "Scream" Protest Against Urban Planning Failures Bengaluru #Greenpeace India,together with a coalition of civil society groups under the #BengaluruRising campaign, staged city-wide demonstrations on #AprilFool’s Day to highlight the irony of modern planning failures in India’s high-tech capital. A collective "Scream" echoed across #Bengaluru as citizens protested what they termed the "absurdity" of the city’s current urban development trajectory. Amruta S.N., Climate and Energy Campaigner at Greenpeace India, described "Stupid Projects" as those plagued by massive delays, outrageous cost escalations and a fundamental failure to solve the problems they were originally designed to address. In the lead-up to the #GBA elections, the campaign is urging candidates to engage with these concerns rather than allowing the city to descend into further logistical chaos. The "Scream" interventions drew attention to three sites emblematic of infrastructure stagnation. At the Rajarajeshwari Nagar Arch Flyover, residents protested a project delayed for more than four years. At the Dommasandra flyover, the delay has stretched to nearly six years, disrupting daily life without delivering relief. Meanwhile, at the defunct Mysore Lamps factory, activists opposed a proposal to replace a dense, forest-like urban canopy with a convention center, raising urgent questions about ecological preservation versus large-scale concrete development. The campaign follows months of "Imaginariums" , innovative workshops with students, professionals and residents, designed to capture the divide between official priorities and public needs. By launching these actions on April 1st, activists underscored the irony of a global tech hub relying on outdated, mid-20th-century urban planning models. @greenpeaceindia @Greenpeace @GBA_office @BDAOfficialGok @DKShivakumar
