"Use my product or else." - Oligarch

It is very clear how to sustainably pay for - India isn't going bankrupt wiping fees off UPI.

The problem is that free UPI is infinitely better than Visa and Mastercard and Trump doesn't like it, so he creates problems for the biggest industrialists that fund the current Indian government i.e. Adani, so Modi has to find a way to make Adani happy again.

Something that doesn't find any mention in the reliable western media.

Don't worry, people on this website like pretending to be more informed than their peers.

Marshal plan didn't come about for Democracy. It came about , just as mentioned earlier in the thread, to contain Russia , erstwhile USSR

And there is a reason why Marshal plan didn't invole rest of the world, only western Europe - it is because it was the elite from western Europe who fled to USA during WW2 and had a soft spot for what they still consider their homeland.

In fact, the university towns that supplied to industrial bases Germany were left unscathed and because a lot of allied forces were lead by people who considered them Alma Mater.

On the otherhand, a school was double tapped in Iran recently.

The world doesn't have 2 sides - one yours and other fox news. Most of the world lives outside of USA and Wikipedia has literally turned into a personal fiefdom of random political idiots on whatever is the current trend of Democrats.

The fact that your go-to response is hurr durr fox news bad and you dishonestly ignore that Wikipedia literally is run by people who have "engaged in off-wiki canvassing" and are "not here to constructively build the encyclopedia," - you can have your mod points and you can have your wikipedia.

You would typically post some actual data when making ridiculous claims like this I would typically point out that alimony and child support is not counted under mother's income.

Great, now you are arguing in semantics. So tell me:
- What was the Roman salute?
- What was Roman about it?
- Was it different for Romans and non-Romans living in Constantinople/Rome?

This is the problem with dealing with disingenuous people. You know very well what is colloquially known as "Roman salute". You know very well that it was invented by idiots and used by Nazis who to shepherd idiots. But you want to argue that Roman is a valid adjective for whatever salute happened thousands of years ago so that the Nazis can hide in their make-shift cocoon of being technically correct.

And what did I say?

According to an apocryphal legend, the fascist gesture was based on a customary greeting which was claimed to have been used in ancient Rome.[2] However, no Roman text describes such a gesture, and the Roman works of art that display salutational gestures bear little resemblance to the modern "Roman" salute.[2]

Google-foo for reference. I would assume people would do at least that much before commenting. But it seems reddit has leaked to Slashdot while older generation dies off.

Please man, I want to have some an interesting conversation.

Marx didn't write communist manifest. Can you find a PDF of Das Kapital and search for the word communism in it?

No I am asking you to read a book. Any book.

Tell me you don't know anything about Marx and has not seen Das Kapital in your lifetime without telling me.

Are you trying to be funny? Because you know there is no such thing as Roman salute

You know what is funny? They could fix this using claude

You don't remember everything. As soon as OpenAI had a useful product, Elon Musk offered to buy it out and Sam Altman refused and shopped around for a better investor with more money and less controlling stake i.e. Microsoft.
