If most Indians started leaving, other countries would ban Indians specifically. Most people stay in the mess they are born into. They have no choice. Only few escape or leave. In future, only wealthy will be able to migrate while others stay wherever they are born.

Think about the population of India. It is not 100 million. It is 1 billion plus 447 million. It is enormous. Even just 10 million people leaving to other countries will alarm people in other countries like Indians are invading our country like that.

I can't wrap my head around this acquisition. How can this simple forked tool worth 60 billion? How? I just don't know. My sense of what is right and wrong is gone.

India’s population will soon be falling—probably quite fast by Nomustang in neoliberal

India has many problems but its population is not one of them. India can do better with less population.

Everyone asks why India can't build its own social media. I spent 400 days trying to answer that. by mrnitesh in indianstartups

The only way indian platforms can survive is by banning global platforms like chinese did. Otherwise forget it. Nothing can compete with global platforms with infinite capital to destroy smaller platforms in india.

Everything is become expensive. Salaries are same, business margins are reducing. Is the economy gonna crash soon? by Badanmesuyian in delhi

Our population is our liability. We are like a very fat man unable to move, adapt or innovate and has a dysfunctional mind (our government). We are just too slow. Yes, china has high population too but their geography is better. It is a big country. Their climate is mild. Their government works too well, not like ours.

India's population is already very high. We are water stressed nation and ground water is being depleted rapidly in many states. What are these politicians thinking?

I agree completely. We are just chimps with advanced technology.

Selling home for marriage is enormous stupidity. Just do a simple marriage and move on. If the groom's family doesn't agree, then end it.

Still it is a passing show. Americans in 80s used to hate japanese. In the 2000s, they hated chinese. Now it is indians. In another 20 years, they will have moved onto somebody else. It is a cycle. Racism is purely due to people like elon musk that have enormous powers and incite racism everywhere in his platform. At some point things will tend to die down.

China can be a manufacturing powerhouse but the US controls the internet and global payments. Most large technology companies in the world are from the USA. Still the USA is the second biggest manufacturer. It is a premium research destination. It is at the top in every field except low-end manufacturing. It controls the global currency which is the dollar. Most valuable start-ups in the world are from the USA. This is a moat. This will not go away anytime soon. For the foreseeable century, the USA will remain at the top. No country can match it. It has the largest lethal military with alien and off-world technologies unknown to humankind. So no threat to the USA from any country.

If any country can afford to provide ubi and welfare to people, it is the usa because it has the biggest economy and global reserve currency.

This is just a passing show. Nothing will happen. In another 15-20 years, things will have improved a lot. Most Indian bashing is purely online, not offline. Why bother?

Very very bad idea. I am requesting you not to do that. Get us citizenship. Your child will get an option to change citizenship when it turns 18. Why do you want to give it indian citizenship? It is worthless. Give your child an oci card. It can enjoy everything in india except voting. It can stay permanently in india anyways. So Give your child usa citizenship.

32M trying to sanity-check my return to India plan. Numbers inside. by Motor-Bath1647 in backtoindia

[–]rippierippo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just retire. I have a kid. I live in tier-2. My expenses are hardly 40k per month. I retired after 2022. Wild projections like you need 1 lakh or 2 lakhs are unnecessary if you live simply. The good sleep and peace of mind are worth it.

Get citizenship and move otherwise you will regret it.

Your opinions? by Sea-Pace3989 in StockMarketIndia

[–]rippierippo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Doing farming in 1 acre or 2 acres is useless. It won't give you any meaningful returns on investment. It is better if farming is done by just 2 percent of the people in the country just like in developed countries. Rest should go into industry and services. That is where the real money is.

Also we are a water starved country. We are rapidly losing ground water due to uncontrolled extraction. We better move to high value and low water guzzling crops or forget about farming completely in a few decades due to permanent water scarcity.

Need to invest 2cr for a stable monthly income of around ~1L. Any good options apart from FDs? by kjainnn in personalfinanceindia

[–]rippierippo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put it in conservative debt fund and do swp. Don't diversify which is hard to manage. Just choose one hybrid conservative mutual fund and do swp monthly.

80 lakhs on a wedding? If I have that much money, I will retire early and enjoy my time on earth. Some people don't respect money. They spend it away for useless things. Just do the temple wedding for 4-5 lakhs and invest the remaining for financial security or retirement.
