Are Conservatorships A Problem?
For every positive, there is a negative. Some negatives can give you a false positive and I am not talking about pregnancy tests. What I mean is, a lot of negative people, negative feelings, and negative behavior hide behind the guise of coming from a place of love or working towards the greater good. This type of behavior is manipulative, misleading, and a form of gaslighting.

The ever-increasing fuel prices in India.
India is not new to inflation, especially when it comes to fuel prices. The ever-increasing petroleum and diesel prices are taking a steep upward ride in recent times. Currently, petroleum and diesel prices stand above Rs.100/L in almost all the states. It’s well above 100/L in all the metropolitan cities. As of 1st November 2021, the oil prices have increased for the sixth consecutive day. Diesel prices have gone up 30 times in the last 38 days. Every 6 a.m. in the morning new prices become applicable and it changes every day. The increase in recent times is almost frightening.

The BBC Is Dead
We live in truly extraordinary times. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is falling apart. The institutions which we have come to trust as the standard bearers of British culture and history have since eschewed their responsibility to those who pay their wages and chosen to sacrifice their integrity at the altar of expediency.

Tucker Carlson is Incomprehensible to Outsiders
Fox News host Tucker Carlson has a vast audience that comes to him for information even though his reporting often takes the form of raising questions and then not answering them. I went into this planning to jump on the bandwagon of mocking his “Just asking questions” routine. But then I read the opinion piece 'Let's go Brandon' chants are demonstrations of pro-Biden unity. And I was really struck by something: I didn’t understand what he was talking about or what point he was trying to make.

Entire Dutch Government Quits
Over a nationally televised address to the nation last Friday, The Netherlands' Prime Minister Mark Rutte and his entire cabinet resigned citing political responsibility over the government's welfare scandal. The scandal started when the Dutch parliament instituted new policy in order to crack down on child welfare fraud, however the policy implemented did far more harm than good for the Dutch people. When parents would apply for welfare, a simple clerical error or misfiling would result in the parents being accused of fraud and forced to backpay payments to the government, plunging them into financial ruin and while COVID-19 dominates the world.
