They are using him for third down only PA said <| sep |> We are one big happy shitposting family 3 <| sep |> Really lucky she got blown off a 60 ft drop , got injured and I think overnight as wellSuper lucky Edit 1 updated news link , she was there overnight northernireland 38089933 <| sep |> It ' s a mad scramble to get a handle on the problem of mulesasiaindia 38011407 expect BBC muh rayciss whiners to try and downplay this . The government is essentially in panic mode with all this , they started off with a good objective but the whole thing has turned into a disaster . Any kind of uncertainty is just really bad for the economy , and the government is making major unpredictable changes every other day . Essentially the rich corrupt people are using poor people to launder their money in a sort of hawala system . So suppose you ' re a rich person with some black money you want to launder into white approach a toplevel dalaal toutagent and instantly get new notes for , say , a 15 % commission . This top level dalaal approaches lower level ones and so on and so forth . Each level of the chain takes a smaller and smaller cut . Finally there ' s 1 poor chap who deposits , say 10 , 000 rupees into a jan dhan account . With the level of poverty in India , people are more than willing to spend all day in lines if they get get 1000 or even 500 rupees out of it . Which is really nothing in the bigger picture . So lets say the lowest level dalaal brings 10 , 000 rupees to 100 such mules . The dalaal gives them the cash in old notes to deposit , the poor person gets that 500 rupees now . The dalaal gives his client 10 , 000 rupees in new notes from his own pocket . All the mule has to do is wait for some time a few months maybe . And then withdraw the cash from their account and give it to the dalaal . If they don ' t they ' ll face really dire consequences . And they are not given much information about who they ' re giving money to just like any hawala system . Now obviously the intensely corrupt income tax officials who will try to make a halfhearted attempt to go after all this will get their share of the pie . Meanwhile the gullible on social media especially facebook and whatsapp are celebrating surgical strike master stroke by modiji or talking about how much money is getting deposited in banks , or linking useless surveys . I guess this class is understandable upset the honest taxpayer , the white collar salaried citizen who is forced to pay tax via TDS . It ' s rather amusing that people didn ' t think this wouldn ' t be happening . I really don ' t understand how people don ' t realize exactly how corrupt India is . I guess living in a bubble must be nice . One big problem with this class is that they are under the impression that corrupt people are stupid . One classic misconception is corrupt bigwig people hoard cash in pillows and under mattresses they don ' t , most literate people understand the concept of inflation . Expect more bandaid fixes as things progress , like fixing a leaky water pipe . I mean this is probably the worst case scenario the best case scenario is that in the long term people will be more vigilant and people will become more honest . The long term consequences might be positive , but we won ' t know . At the very least the implementation leaves a LOT to be desired . To people asking what could the govt have done ? the answer is just not doing this at all , and actually going after extremely high value transactions , rooting out corruption in the income tax dept , and creating the infrastructure for a cashless society which can take decades . And honestly , the mindset of India needs to change too . There ' s a social problem with the moneychasing and selfish mindset combined with lax law enforcement . Maybe it will go away gradually as India becomes richer . Also expect more hawkery vizaviz pakistan to distract the attention of the public . I really don ' t understand why BJP loyalists are pointing out opportunism from the opposition . OF COURSE they are going to do that when you have a massive fuckup like this . That ' s how democracy works in the real world , welcome to reality .
