Two races are going to go to November in #MontereyCounty. The Sheriff's race and the D2 County Supervisor Race.

A number of people are making money and enabling to corrupt/sleazy candidates - Joe Moses and Kimbley Craig. They are functionaries of the Panetta machine. I gave

Leon Panetta a lot of wiggle room over the years as he slowly revealed that he isn't into Monterey County politics for the greater good. Leon is into MoCo for the benefit of a select few and those interests reach DC and, unfortunately, beyond.

Moses and Craig are

obviously benefactors of the Panetta net. Look at their donors - it's the same people every time. The same people who backed Steve Bernal - a 12 year deputy with an apple pie look. He even plays guitar on the weekends. Dennis Donohue, in his sordid run to unseat Jane Parker.

Finally, the #GoldacreReview is published! (During Parliamentary Easter holidays, mid-ping-pong on the #HealthAndCareBill...)

It's 221 pages - each PDF page is a double page spread - so this could be a lo-o-o-ong [Thread].

First point to note, in the Terms of Reference (p5), is that this is about "access to #NHSdata by #researchers, #commissioners, and #innovators" - i.e. #Planning and #CommercialReUse - so it is directly relevant to the operation of millions of people's #NationalDataOptOuts...

Are you buying Insurance this year just to save taxes?

DON'T. 🤫

It could cost you more than it saves in taxes!

Here's how ⤵️

Suppose there is a Mr Rahul who gets Rs 7.5 Lakh a year as his salary (with no other sources of income).

➡️ In India, if you earn more than 5 Lakh, you have to pay taxes.

#taxpayers

But there are ways by which you can reduce your Taxable income. Some of them are:

° By investing up to 1.5 Lakh in PF, NSC, ELSS, Insurance, etc (80C)
° By investing up to 50 Thousand in NPS (80CCD)

@KantKrishna30

It seems tax-payers will continue to be responsible for bulk of #AirIndia debt even after #privatisation. AI had total debt of around Rs 62,300 cr FY20-end of which only Rs 15,300 cr is being taken over by Tatas. Rest will be the liability of us #taxpayers.
#airindiadisinvestment

So in effect Tata Sons is getting aircrafts worth Rs around Rs 32,000 crore for Rs 18,000 crore. This is over and above landing & parking slots and the #AirIndia brand. This must be one of the best deal for Tata Sons ever.
#airindiadisinvestment

Less than 2% of #AirIndia net losses in last 10-years were from operations. Rest were due to interest on debt and depreciation for its aircrafts. Ex these, Air India was profitable in FY20 and reported cumulative operating loss of only Rs 917 cr since FY11

"Can you describe the journey of four years of GST with melodious music, qua a tax payer?" - Asked by a music afficianado.

Thence, I excogitated this thread with befitting songs in background.

It's harmonious!

During the course of migration of #taxpayers from old regime to #GST, everyone was ecstatic.

#Taxprofessionals were reminding for migration and clients were reaching to them, happily.

There was a great hope for 'ease'.

After implementation, it was an adventurous task to face the ill-wille portal.

Tax payers constrained to pay hefty late fees due to such faulty portal.

By frequently paying the late fees similarly due to kitschy portal, taxpayers became kvetchy like...👇

*The time has come when a pan-India organization of taxpayers should be formed*

*Which will be the largest organization in the world !!*

*A Tax Payers Union should now be formed in the country. No matter what the government may be, without the approval of that union, neither

free electricity, free water, free distribution, or loan waiver can announce anything, and nothing else can implement it.*

*If money is our tax, then we should also have the right to know how to use it.*

*The parties will continue to covet anything for votes,*

*Which one is going out of his pocket?*

*Regardless of the blueprint of whatever scheme is made, take consent from us and it should also be applicable to their salary and other facilities.*

*Is democracy limited to just voting ??*
*What rights do we have after that ??*

Who is investigating HAs use of furlough? We’ve paid twice: once through rent & service charge, once through taxes. Where’s our rebate from the HA? @PeabodyLDN furloughed 103 staff. I paid for those staff TWICE. Money back now please. insidehousing.co.uk/news/news/thou… @ukcag @LondonCAG

@RishiSunak

There’s a tool in that article to look up your HA and see how many people you’ve paid for twice, my fellow #taxpayers & #leaseholders (I thought I’d address you twice too). @RishiSunak what are you doing about this? #EndOurCladdingScandal #notjustcladding @EOCS_Official

Greed?
What's there to say about greed?
There's something grubby about it.
There's something weak & pathetic about it.
It's almost servile; a kind of inner grovelling neediness.
You make yourself the saddle in which THINGS ride.

So why are so many people so greedy?

Corporate greed:

United Utilities has the hard job of transporting water from the Lake District to Manchester.
In the last 6 months it made monopoly profits of £292m.
In the last 5 years the boss took home £12m.
Is that greedy enough for you?

Corporate greed:

Greedy enough for you?

Recently, I was asked to give a seminar for @mhclg’s planners on the challenges faced by local authority planners delivering against the #climateemergency, because I work with lots of councils & I’m also Cabinet Member for Forward Planning at @CotswoldDC. So I know some stuff.

First up, I did the ‘we’re all doomed’ bit. You know, the rollercoaster graphs steeply going up and the even steeper graphs of how emissions need to come down.

Then I mentioned about how most plans are running for about another 10-15 years and they need re-writing immediately because most of them pay diddly-squat attention to the ‘what goes up must come down graphs’ from the ‘we’re all doomed’ bit.

On 6 occasions, #Military officials failed to send Devin Kelley’s records to @FBI while the @USAirForce investigated, court-martialed, and imprisoned him for abusing his wife and stepson.

Rather than being an anomaly, the preventable failures that contributed to the massacre are a symptom of a vast problem spanning the entire federal government, according to two experts with decades of experience—Daryll Prescott and Don Lueders.
