#TwitterBanInIndia

A man driving on the highway was stopped by the highway patrol
Cop: Do you know why I stopped you?
Man: Coz you're a Brahmin & this is #BrahminicalPatriarchy at work?
C: No! My caste has nothing to do with this. You're driving on the wrong side of the road

@Twitter

M: I work for @Twitter & our community standards guide tells us we have to drive on the right side of the road
C: That guide was written in USA. You're now in India. You need to drive on the left
M: Though it's not the international standard, I'll strive to drive on the left

2/

C: No, no. If you drive on the wrong side I'll have to write up a ticket
M: Ok. I'll strive to drive on the left & tie up with India's opposition & NGOs to advocate we drive on the right. Can I go now?
C: I'm done! I'm writing a ticket
M: Now you're intimidating me! Fascist!

Think about this & connect the dots
1 There's a growing feeling the #CCPVirus leaked from the lab & didn't jump from animals in Wuhan wet market.

2. If it was a deliberate leak, it makes more sense to experiment with the smaller & hostile Vietnam or the puppet State of

North Korea or even Taiwan & bring them to their knees. Even their long-pending invasion of Taiwan would have been possible.

3. But Wuhan (China's industrial heartland & pharma manufacturing hub) being the epicentre, shows it has to be accidental

4. Also, if the leak had been deliberate, China would have known EXACTLY what the next steps would be & wouldn't have been caught off-guard. They were lost & confused in the initial days. And, no. They weren't pretending.

@Mahesh10816 @JumbuTweeple currency as they needed provided it was backed by assets, typically Gold, for it easily liquid and a store of value

This was called the Gold Standard. It meant that if you return $1000 to the US Fed, they would have to give you $1000 worth of Gold

@Mahesh10816

@Mahesh10816 @JumbuTweeple Under Nixon, it was suspected that the US was printing currency but not putting an equivalent amount of Gold into their reserves

The French got wind of this and started returning US$. This meant, at one point of time, the US would run out of Gold

Nixon announced that the US

@AIADMK

I explained you were in BJP & as per your alliance, @AIADMK was contesting Thanjavur
They thought for a moment & said, "In that case, DMK!"
I was shocked & asked why & without any advice from @PrashantKishor , they said, "Because they're winning this election!"

You can win the next election, if you do these 10 things:
1 Stand alone, not as part of an alliance with corrupt AIADMK: There is a widespread belief in TN that all politicians are thieves எல்லோரும் திருடர்கள்
