The DMK & Congress Farmer Loan Waiver Model for Tamilnadu: How farmers were fooled!
After coming back to power in 2006, DMK announced Loan waivers for all farmers. Total loans taken in 4000 Co-operative societies was ₹6526 Crore.

Dharmapuri MP Dr. Senthil Kumar in the Floor of Parliament said that the Public Distribution System in TN was introduced by Annadurai. PDS in Tamil Nadu was introduced in 1964 when Bhaktavachalam was CM. DMK came to power only in 1967
Niti Aayog report says TN has PDS since 1964. As always, DMK continues to take credit for every welfare measure implemented in the past. https://t.co/ht8JtE4EE6
Farm loans were waived off in 2006- Cooperative societies were not paid back in full as per their commitment to pay back. Only 20% paid back.
Electricity for farmers was introduced in 1984 and properly enacted in 2004.

Save Kattupalli?? From whom?
Yet another Flip Flop of DMK
Most print media including the Wire & News Minute had taken up the expansion of Adani’s Katupalli port.
The National Herald had also reported this with a political flavour. But vital details missing in all these.
The Kattupalli port received approval & began construction during the DMK Regime. Surprised to see questions posted by them now on the need of this port when chennai already has 2 ports. EIA submitted in 2008 by L&T and the port became operational in 2013 https://t.co/YQVsmdBE19
The EIA submitted in 2008 had clear mention of no fishing activity near the coastal areas.
The future expansion plan also was part of the initial proposal that was submitted.
Also find the proposed development plan. Now compare it with the initial proposal. No change at all.
See the biased reporting of The Wire.
As per the application for environmental clearance submitted by MIDPL in 2018, 1087 acres of sea area will be reclaimed by using the dredged sand but Wire reports it as 2000 acres.
https://t.co/ie7KR3J1tK
Total proposed area of expansion is 5238 Acres as per the report, Wire calls in 6111 acre master plan. Not sure where they got these information.
And the most important point to note in all these is MIDPL expansion proposal submitted by L&T, even before Adani acquired it.

To people who are under the impression that you can get rich quickly by working on an app, here are the stats for https://t.co/az8F12pf02
📈 ~12000 vistis
☑️ 109 transactions
💰 353€ profit (285 after tax)
I have spent 1.5 months on this app. You can make more $ in 2 days.
🤷♂️
I'm still happy that I launched a paid app bcs it involved extra work:
- backend for processing payments (+ permissions, webhooks, etc)
- integration with payment processor
- UI for license activation in Electron
- machine activation limit
- autoupdates
- mailgun emails
etc.
These things seemed super scary at first. I always thought it was way too much work and something would break. But I'm glad I persisted. So far the only problem I have is that mailgun is not delivering the license keys to certain domains like https://t.co/6Bqn0FUYXo etc. 👌
omg I just realized that me . com is an Apple domain, of course something wouldn't work with these dicks

“We don’t negotiate salaries” is a negotiation tactic.
Always. No, your company is not an exception.
A tactic I don’t appreciate at all because of how unfairly it penalizes low-leverage, junior employees, and those loyal enough not to question it, but that’s negotiation for you after all. Weaponized information asymmetry.
Listen to Aditya
And by the way, you should never be worried that an offer would be withdrawn if you politely negotiate.
I have seen this happen *extremely* rarely, mostly to women, and anyway is a giant red flag. It suggests you probably didn’t want to work there.
You wish there was no negotiating so it would all be more fair? I feel you, but it’s not happening.
Instead, negotiate hard, use your privilege, and then go and share numbers with your underrepresented and underpaid colleagues. […]

"we don't negotiate salaries" really means "we'd prefer to negotiate massive signing bonuses and equity grants, but we'll negotiate salary if you REALLY insist" https://t.co/80k7nWAMoK
