Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
Since when is Amitabh Kant a billionaire?
He was an IAS (Indian Administrative Service) officer and CEO of a think-tank.
Maybe depending on the currency?
He's saying the thought he was paid to think in the tank and testing the reaction. It could also be a broader message to ask for support from other donors.
Folks don't pay attention to what oligarchs do or they think it is non-siniater in its intent. Oligarchs, the politically influential rich folks will continue to linger in the spaces where corrupt politics fester. They make friends with lawmakers and then spend a lot of time with them to plant those seeds of corruption and "reform".
If the poor spent time with politicians like the rich do, laws would be more fair to society as a whole.
