#EconomicSurvey2020 asks govt to slash food subsidy coverage to bottom 20%.

This, when rural India is in pits due to lack of jobs, falling wages and rising food prices. If not for the food security act, we would see many starvation deaths today.

The raging debate over @RahulGandhi s promised #MinimumIncomeGuarantee is a good sign. Happened due to the hollowness of the empowerment narrative of Modi. In a country where future well-being of a new born is decided by where she is born, the role of welfare state is immense
PM Modi tried the market/empowerment route to governance. Eg. Crop insurance for farmers, Skill India.. Most of these programs have failed to bring about real change, so we are back to discussing the role and reach of a welfare state.
When there is surplus food production and still citizens die of hunger, it's time to junk the 'I will teach you how to fish' narrative. But #MinimumIncomeGuarantee at the cost of public health or education may not be a good idea.

#Moodys has pulled down its growth forecast for FY19 to 5.8%. Only surprise is why it’s not even lower. In the past year growth has collapsed from 8% to 5%. /1

On the other hand #CPI is now at 4.6%. The laxmanrekha of 4% has been breached. A mix of drought, floods and unseasonal rain is driving food prices up. Core #inflation continues to fall to 3.7% reflecting the slowdown. /2

The wisemen and women of the economy have only one mantra - Cut, Pray, Hope. When in doubt cut rates.135 bps done but transmission is limited. We are told don’t look at nominal, real rates are still high. A single large cut is required. /3

A little bit (longish) background check:

- In historic terms, definitely has had a dream run but the recent performance of Netflix stocks have been volatile at best with a number of factors are causing investors to be extra cautious when it comes to investing in Netflix.
Most recently, Disney’s latest announcement of Disney+ sent Netflix shares tumbling by 4.5%
