The American Class System
Over the months I’ve written a lot about our life and the issues the poor have that the rich just don’t. I wrote about how we might in the future do without money. I also wrote about what I want to expand on and that’s greed. I want to try and explain why the republican party and the rich think the way they do.

Already a Functioning Anarchy, India risks a Slow Descent Into Madness
India faces perhaps the biggest test since its Independence and Partition in terms of convergence of social, political, and economic crises. With its economy in the doldrums, and its healthcare infrastructure found to be pitifully and worse, disastrously incapable of handling the brutal Second Wave, and with its politicians busy holding elections and pulling down governments, there are no dearth of crises that the country faces. Indeed, the term Functioning Anarchy, that was once used by Western media to describe the country, is now back in vogue, looking at the present situation.

I'm an ex-libertarian
I'd consider myself politically aware for the past 20 years or so. I'm nearly 40 now, but then in my teens I didn't really care that much about politics. I was a person, albeit young then, who thought "politics doesn't affect me". Such a tone vexes me now, since we're all affected by laws or state dictates somehow, so I'd most likely be annoyed with my teen self at this point.

LGBTQ+ characters on our screens changed my life!
Representation of the LGBTQ+ community, not only on our screens but also in music, in theatre, in literature, in the media, feels more present than ever before. But it’s still not enough. ‘Netflix is going through a gay phase,’ is a comment I heard recently. As though it's something temporary and will pass.

Benefits under Texas Workers Compensation
A worker’s compensation insurance provides an individual with income and medical benefits precisely due to any harm or loss incurred while carrying out work-related tasks. In simpler terms, if an employee is injured or ill due to a workplace-related circumstance, they can file claims for any loss or damages. However, in the US, each state has a different requirement for workers’ compensation.
