India's Debt: Not Risky as China's, But rather Still a Concern

India’s debt is a complicated issue with a long history. The country’s debt-to-Gross domestic product proportion has been on a consistent ascent lately, and presently remains at 81.9%. This is like China’s debt-to-Gross domestic product proportion of 83%. In any case, the dangers related with India’s debt are not so perfect as China’s. India has a more youthful populace and a higher development…

More debt. And more debt. And still more debt. Soon enough, America as we know it is dead.

Ive been having lots of talks lately with my mom abt politics n the state of the world, Good conversations to be sure, and theyre great bc we both make good points and can compare different experiences and all -- but good God the fact that she's still seems to have. More subconscious faith in the moral integrities of the nebulous concept of a government or corporation More than she has faith in the the moral integrity of the nebulous concept of our societal peers. She talks about it like the Second a group like that is founded, its set of ethics just Miraculously appears out from the ether + just happens to Always be morally sound by default. I cant seem to find a way to word things that with like... idk. Help it Click that those corporations are still run by People and are therefore just as fallible 💀 technically More so but she's convinced capitalism is Never going to go away so she doesn't care about the whole "company's and governments in power, as they exist today, Have A Monetary Incentive To Lie To Us As Much As They Can" thing cuz shes such a damn pessimist and assumes All people have been doing that Forever 💀💀💀 SIGH it's nbd i just needed to put it in words bc its been on my mind on and off

So, what do you think will happen if our federal government keeps borrowing and spending?

Living with someone who reads news.com regularly is so tiring sometimes. "oooh we pulled out of the Commonwealth Games because the premier is shifty and there's absolutely something he's not telling us" actually no it's because the estimated cost tripled and you can't take on infinite debt for a project that generates near zero revenue, sometimes it really just isn't that complicated. "but why did he accept it a few years ago then???" Because he's a politician so for some reason he trusts completely unrealistic cost estimates and revenue projections, they literally all do because they're idiots surrounded by other idiots

I'm already seeing advice from people in the US to purchase queer books and other banned or "controversial" books on paper as a way to combat the wave of government censorship that is coming. While this is a good idea (it is! absolutely!), it's not accessible to everyone, and truly, we're not going to be able to consumerism our way out of this one.

If you can buy the books, do. Whether you can buy the books or not, borrow them from your library.

Borrow the paper versions. Borrow the ebook or audiobook versions. Request the titles you want that your library doesn't have. The more a title circulates or is requested, the better librarians are going to be able to defend keeping it if and when it's ever challenged.

Use libraries like @queerliblib too. The more members they have, the better they'll be able to fundraise.

Your community resources depend on you using them. Borrow the books before they go away.

InB4: Piracy is not the solution here. We're trying to keep community resources available, not make sure individual people can read individual books. Different problems.

The books are still available. Borrowing them from your library and returning them on time and in good condition will help keep them that way.

“The fantastic—and profoundly damaging—Faustian bargain of total security in exchange for total control that has been the premise for the incredible growth of government and government oversight over the past century is coming to a close both because we cannot afford it and its false promise has been exposed.” (From my blog archive)
