The default Mongers Part 2: A puppet show of false delight While real wealth slips out of sight The chaos merchants spin their tale Of strength that’s built on shifting shale The people sweat, the markets strain While profiteers count stolen gain
This isn't the first time these mill owners have gamed in sugar. The problem is that the structure is so distorted due to protections and cateralization that these millers and dealers are able to dictate the prices. Hence the need for a free market of sugar.
پنجاب میں جو ڈپٹی کمشنر حضرات دوکانوں پر چھاپے مار کر مہنگی چینی فروخت کرنے والے دوکانداروں کو گرفتار کر رھے تھے ۔ کیا وہ شوگر مل انتظامیہ اور اکبری منڈی کے آڑھتیوں کے خلاف بھی کوئی اقدام کریں گے ۔
The observed number of people killed is the LOWER BOUND, not the estimated average.
More and more people are questioning the “real” estimate of the number of #Palestinians killed by #IOF since October 7 saying it’s a lot higher than the numbers put forward by the Ministry of Health in Gaza. @nntaleb what’s your take? open.substack.com/pub/stevendonz…

Good to see that Trump admin is big on supporting democracy and freedoms around the world, from Hongkong and Brazil to Venezuela — except Pakistan. Somehow Pakistan is where it has chosen to endorse a brutal military dictatorship that has curbed freedoms, upended constitution…
The only ticking time bomb we have are turncoat politicians like you, who'll jump on any bandwagon just to be in power! The audacity of these jokers to 'exceptionlize' violence/extremism with religion as if we aren't facing any other form of extremism, starting from Liberal and…
Pakistan is an extremely volatile country, leadership has little realisation religious extremism is a ticking bomb and if left unabated will lead to a complete disaster…
Real Inerest rates are positive with a huge margin ~37.5% you fool. Once again which default merchant is running this account?
As per the Business Recorder: Pakistan’s central bank aggressively cut interest rates from 22% to 11% in less than a year, capitalizing on inflation falling to just 0.3% - the lowest in 30 years. However, core inflation remains at 8%, rural economy is in distress from falling…
Course grifters have been peddling this BS
There is some confusion regarding tax on profit on debt under Sec 7B—that 5M threshold for final tax has been withdrawn & that any tax deducted wil now be treated as normal tax. No such change has been made in budget.Only change is that tax rate has been increased from 15% to 20%

I recently had a barbell mishap at a very upscale gym. Hardly anyone came to the rescue. People next to me were totally indifferent. In the same town, I had the same type of problem in a downmarket blue-collar gym full of pumped up gymbros. About the entire gym ran to help.
The Default Mongers Part 3: Yet time will strip their masks away False strength dissolves at break of day So heed them not, their tricks are old Their silver tongues will turn to mold For truth, though crushed, will rise anew And break the chains of false virtue
The Default Mongers Part 1: In shadowed halls, they weave their schemes, With whispered lies and hollow dreams. The rupee soars, their voices cry Yet truth is drowned in their supply They trade in fear, they deal in doubt,l With numbers bent to twist about
Always about the money with this lot . Mate they continue to be disappointed. Pakistan hamesha zindabad
Freelancers can retain 50% in FX. Not only that they can use the debit card to spend in FX. We cant expect more FX liberalisation than this.
Pakistan’s Remittance Management The Intervention vs. Market Forces Dilemma Pakistan’s authorities continue artificially managing remittance flows rather than allowing market forces to operate naturally, a practice that July 2025 data shows is creating dangerous economic…
It’s probabaly AI written with specific commands . And it’s probabaly some mid level investor trying to short some bonds or stocks. One could make a more better argument for what his conclusions arec it’s just that his data is lazy . So all in all epic fail

Agreed. Lower taxation is fine for cheaper cars. For luxury items there should be more tax to redistribute wealth. You do know many in the upper class are not truly tax compliant and in informal sectors.
