Bro honestly, I can only echo this sentiment. For all of my kids, the first thing I did was get them a Nicop. And people always asked why? What value does this document have? PTI had engaged overseas Pakistanis like myself. I can speak for myself, until recently, I didn’t even believe that...

Through Indian well-wishes for PDM govt. you won’t find such sentiments when IK was in power.

Pakistan probably has more gas and oil but not discovered and no chance it will be developed either. This is because gas at the very least is priced so low so as to make the discovery and development of it unprofitable. Increase the price you pay for local gas, and this will solve at least gas...

Energy input defined differently. Energy absorbed by pellet (2013) Total Energy in laser (now)

It’s eyewash bro. Define net energy gain.

From 2013 https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-24429621.amp If you want, we can descend into game of the difference between energy absorbed vs energy of the lasers vs net energy etc

This is an older milestone that the NIF seems to republish every so many years to generate publicity to get more funding. It’s all eyewash. This is not the first time it’s happened- happened about maybe a decade ago at the NIF. Here is BBC article from 2013 about the same...

Overseas Pakistanis will only come back after PTI comes back. Simple as that. Otherwise, no one will invest their money with a bunch of crooks.

He “borrowed” the scientific method from ibn Al Haytham. Since the earliest times, we have not been against empiricism. The Ismailis promoted this idea of evolution well before Darwin. It was accepted by some prominent sufis well before Darwin too.

There are several reasons for this. None of them have to do with ideology. All of them have to do with political and economic factors. In general, technology and scientific progress is tied to economic and political stability, not ideology. Here are some key reasons:- 1) Abbasids promoted a...

1st source says there is no shortage of houses but of quality of housing. Might be a valid point of view. Goes on to suggest essentially commie blocks. 2nd study says there is a shortage of housing that will grow by 10 million in 30 years. So actually supports the 10 million houses needed...

Subsidies were only supposed to last a couple months. Then they would have been forced to increase the prices of gas as Tareen revealed. In the meanwhile, they were finalizing deal for Russian oil. You may disagree with the wisdom here but there is a logic to this. It is not logical however, to...

I think there are only two models for affordable housing that have worked in the past. 1) Commie blocks or some govt organized housing projects (like Turkey for example) -these actually make sense for us as govt would be able to plan public transportation too and plan these out better. 2) high...

I think for me, I am holding out for a much more aggressive Khan when he comes back to power now again. Previously, he had that 1-page idea and didn’t want to step on establishment toes as much as he could. He was practicing pragmatic politics but I doubt he would do that in his second term...

The reason that we have to import food now has more to do with how agricultural products are priced internally and discriminatory water pricing that feeds the input to agriculture. The feudals get access to water at unreasonable prices that they waste growing water intense crops like rice and...

No young Pakistanis like me have not accepted anything. If you have a problem with land grabbing, that’s good. You can increase local tax on real estate. Introduce Texas like laws. Problem will resolve itself. This is a case of elite capture for sure. But developing and building new housing...

Yea PTI does need to start democratic principles internally. But PTI is not corrupt- at least not like PDM parties are. Hard to argue that there are not corrupt elements though. They definitely need to be cleaned out.

I think that we have a pathway to getting our country back. PTI gives us a vehicle to do this. The country is at an impasse but there is a lot to be hopeful for. After all, it is very likely that the next time PTI takes power, it will be the first time we have a genuine nationalist middle class...

This doesn’t seem concerning tbh. Foreign debt as percent of GDP is stable. And most of the debt is long term so servicing costs are small. For Pakistan total foreign debt is the same about but all of it short term, so we owe 73 bn$ in next three years vs 7-8 bn$ than Bangladesh owes which is...

But statiscal tie still goes to PTI Don’t worry - Noonies are losing support day after day. They are in fix. If they were to hold elections today, it would be anyone’s guess who would win, in 3 months, it will be easy PTI seat
