Fixing deficit!

Warren Buffett says one law could fix the deficit overnight. Why hasn't Congress passed it? Warren Buffett made the statement during a CNBC interview when asked how he would fix the national deficit. His answer was simple: pass a law that makes all sitting members of Congress ineligible for re-election any time the deficit exceeds 3 percent of GDP. He said the problem would be solved almost immediately because lawmakers would finally have personal consequences for overspending. The quote has resurfaced repeatedly over the years, especially as the deficit has continued to grow. As of 2026, the U.S. federal deficit is estimated at over 6 percent of GDP, more than double the threshold Buffett proposed. Under his rule, every current member of Congress would be ineligible to run again. No version of the proposal has ever been introduced as legislation.

Air hostess in Sneakers!

They walk miles every shift, serve hundreds of passengers, and handle emergencies at 30,000 feet. The least you can do is let them wear comfortable shoes. Japan Airlines officially allowed cabin crew and airport staff to wear sneakers on duty starting November 13, 2025. The policy applies to flight attendants across six JAL Group airlines and approximately 14,000 ground staff at 96 airports worldwide. Previously, staff were limited to black leather shoes, heels, or pumps. The decision came after years of employee feedback about the physical toll of long shifts on their feet. Staff must provide their own plain black sneakers. Platform styles are not permitted. One employee said the change would help create an environment where people can work long term while taking care of their health. The shift is part of a broader trend. KLM, Finnair, SAS, and Iberia already allow sneakers. Japan's #KuToo movement, which campaigned against mandatory heels in the workplace, helped push the conversation forward nationwide.

Toll-Free?

Chief Minister of Punjab Bhagwant Mann has taken such a bold step which is heard all over the country and the general public is considering it a big victory. They have permanently closed the state's 19 toll plazas, reducing the burden of millions of pockets of common citizens. The Chief Minister's argument is very straightforward and effective that why should he pay repeated toll to walk on the same road when a person pays a heavy-paid 'road tax' while buying a vehicle? The decision is a major injury against private companies who have been filling their vault with the hard earned public for years. This move is not only saving people's money but also reduced the problem of traffic jams on the roads and the journey has become pleasant. People from other states are now demanding the same from their Chief Ministers to stop this 'double recovery' in the name of toll tax. This decision of Bhagwant Mann proves that if the intentions of the government are clear, he can give real and great relief to the public. This is a great example of good governance and accountability towards the common man.

Innovative Taxing!

Amidst the success claims of Digital India, the government is preparing to tax internet usage which will be robbed on the pocket of every smartphone user who has broken the record of 229 billion GB data last year. This 'Internet Tax' will not only be a major obstacle for online learning and freelancing youth but also cost the internet to millions of people who are now dependent on data for their basic needs. Where the whole world is working towards making the internet more accessible and free, the idea of imposing per GB tax in India can deepen the digital divide which will lead to poor class behind. The government should find other ways to increase revenue and not burden the technology that has become the biggest backbone of the country's development today because this tax could slow down the pace of digital revolution forever.

Watch yourself!

Who messed-up!

WORLD LEADERS TO TRUMP: YOU STARTED THIS MESS — YOU DEAL WITH IT Donald Trump spent days bragging that the United States had already “won” his disastrous war and telling allies we didn’t need them. Now that the consequences of his reckless decisions are crashing down, he’s suddenly begging the rest of the world to bail him out. There’s just one problem: they’re not interested. One after another, world leaders are making it clear they’re not rushing to rescue Trump’s failing operation in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump doesn't want this information out there, so be sure to spread it far and wide. Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi shut the idea down directly: “We have not made any decisions whatsoever about dispatching escort ships. We are continuing to examine what Japan can do independently and what can be done within the legal framework.” Australia also made it clear they’re staying out: “We won't be sending a ship to the Strait of Hormuz. We know how incredibly important that is, but that's not something that we've been asked or that we're contributing to,” said minister Catherine King. South Korea signaled no commitment either, saying: “We will communicate closely with the U.S. regarding this matter and make a decision after careful review.” Even Britain, one of America’s closest allies, is distancing itself from Trump’s war. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he would not be “drawn into the wider Iran war” while discussing alternative approaches to shipping security. Across Europe, the response has been even colder. Germany’s defense minister Boris Pistorius delivered perhaps the most blunt response: “What does Trump expect from a handful of European frigates that the powerful U.S. Navy cannot do? This is not our war, we have not started it.” Italy says diplomacy is the answer. Greece says it won’t participate in military operations. The European Union is discussing its existing naval mission but is not expected to expand it to the Strait. Trump started this reckless war, alienated allies for years, bragged he didn’t need anyone’s help—and now that the situation is spiraling, he’s begging the same countries he insulted to come rescue him. And they’re saying no. This is what happens when a president spends years insulting allies, threatening NATO partners, and bragging that America can go it alone. When the crisis hits, the relationships that used to form the backbone of U.S. global leadership are gone. Trump broke them. Now he wants them back—right when he needs help. The world isn’t buying it.

Gluten problem with modern bread!

For thousands of years bread has been one of the most fundamental foods in human history. Archaeological evidence suggests humans have been baking bread for at least 5,000 years, with some early flatbreads dating back even further. Ancient bread was simple. Grain was ground into flour, mixed with water and salt, and then left to ferment naturally. The fermentation process was slow, often lasting many hours or even days. Natural sourdough cultures containing wild yeast and bacteria would break down parts of the grain before baking. This slow fermentation had important effects. It partially broke down gluten proteins and complex carbohydrates, making the bread easier for many people to digest. It also reduced compounds such as phytic acid and certain fermentable sugars that can cause digestive discomfort. Modern bread production looks very different. Today most commercial bread is produced using industrial processes designed for speed and efficiency. Instead of fermenting for many hours, dough can be prepared and baked in just a couple of hours using commercial baker’s yeast, dough improvers, emulsifiers and preservatives. The wheat itself has also changed. Modern wheat varieties were bred to produce stronger dough and higher gluten levels, which helps industrial baking processes but may affect digestibility for some people. Because of these changes, some researchers believe that digestive problems often blamed on gluten may actually be linked to other components of modern wheat or the way bread is produced. For example, wheat contains carbohydrates known as fructans, part of a group called FODMAPs. These compounds can cause bloating and digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals. Slow fermentation can significantly reduce fructan levels, which may explain why some people tolerate traditional sourdough bread much better than modern industrial bread. Another topic often discussed is glyphosate, a widely used agricultural herbicide. Some critics suggest that chemical residues could contribute to health problems, although scientific evidence directly linking glyphosate to gluten intolerance remains debated and controversial. What is clear is that bread today is not the same as bread centuries ago. Traditional bread was made slowly with simple ingredients and natural fermentation. Modern bread is often produced rapidly with industrial techniques and multiple additives. For many people the difference may matter. Some who believe they cannot tolerate bread at all report that they can eat long-fermented sourdough or bread made from ancient grains without experiencing the same digestive issues. So the real question may not be whether humans suddenly became allergic to bread, but whether the bread itself has changed.
