Forget Twitter’s problems. Can Musk’s Tesla last?
By Paul Krugman
Opinion Columnist

If you’re one of those people who bought Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency near its peak last fall, you’ve lost a lot of money.

Is it any consolation to know that you would have lost a similar amount if you had bought Tesla stock instead?

OK, probably not. Still, Tesla stock’s plunge is an opportunity to talk about what makes businesses successful in the information age.

And in the end, Tesla and Bitcoin may have more in common than you think.

#Cancer
GROWING CANCER BURDEN.
Cancer is primarily a disease of older people, hence, as life expectancy went up, cancer incidences too went up, said Dr. Mallath, a senior consultant of Digestive Oncology.

Maximum increases will occur in the most populous and least developed States, where the facilities for cancer diagnostics and treatment are grossly inadequate.

The types of cancers in India are also undergoing a transition, similar to a report from Japan five decades ago.

There has been a decline of cancers caused by infections, such as cervical, stomach, and penile cancer, and an increase in cancers associated with energy intake, physical activity imbalance and ageing, such as breast, colorectal and prostate cancers.

#RussianArmy
RUSSIAN MILITARY POWER.
Russia and India have about the same annual military budgets. Look at what the Russian budget supports, and we know what we have got. The Russian spend about a third of what the Chinese do.

The Global Firepower Index shows Russia at second place.

Like India, Britain, France, Germany and Japan have similar annual military budgets. Yet on a budget like that Russia is willing and able to deploy power in far away places.

Its new nuclear attack submarines now prowl all the oceans. Its long range bombers project power deep into the neighboring skies. Clearly power is something more than just money and manpower.

One definite factor is military exports.

Problems facing the country.

Biggest problem facing the country is the concentration of wealth in the hands of few and their complete lack of confidence in the the economy going forward.

What has happened over the last eight years is that Modi has followed an agenda of making people poor (to make them dependent on the government and thus appear as their savior when giving free ration, etc.) and transfer the money into the hands of the rich.

Taxes have been socialized and profits have been privatized.

But this has had a bad effect on the economy. The purchasing power of the masses has eroded and that has led to fall in sales of products and services of the big corporate entities.

Is Gautam Adani too big to fail?

What will happen if Gautam Adani's empire collapses?

Many people are asking these questions. This is because the group is heavily into debt, some 2,20,000 Crores of it.

And there are fears that it may not be able to service this debt and may collapse.

But when it collapses, what will happen to the share holders?

The big relief is that retail investors are not holding too much equity in his companies.

That is why the prices could be manipulated and prices could be raised. Most of the equity is held by the promoter. What would be interesting to know, how much of that equity has been pledged to the banks and how much money has been borrowed against those pledged securities.

I tend to agree.

There is no alternative to Narendra Modi.

Like who else can screw up so many times and still keep winning elections?

Let us look at the alternatives.

Like Mamata Banerjee is well ensconced in West Bengal.

She has tried to contest elections in Goa but met with a complete wash out.

Arvind Kejriwal is an alternative that is because he is the smaller version of Modi being promoted by RSS.

For India, that would be like jumping from the fire into the frying pan (I know the proverb is other way around but then this situation is other way around too).

Like Nitish Kumar is a spent force. He can't even control Bihar.

Same goes for Akhilesh Yadav and Mayawati.
