BIMARU states have too many disadvantages to be ever competitive in low tech labour intensive industries:
1. Anti women ethos. Without massive women participation. You cannot become competitive.
2. Transportation. Even with “freight equalisation” - costs and time is a big barrier. Factories...
Dude,
Excellent post.
You will find that Ukbengali and I - want more low tech job intensive industries.
Hasina is focussing on a few “prestige industries” to mollify the insecure bunch.
Most of those insecure bunch have taken shelter in PDF. And spout nonsense against Hasina.
You are right in that, strictly speaking, BD is not a tiger economy.
It’s not because of investment.
It’s because of the education and skills levels.
Thanks to the state of BD academia - it doesn’t have the ability to absorb any more investment.
BD has to make massive changes in education...
Another one of the trolls’ talking points shot down - by reality!
But like Trump - shameless hussies will keep denying reality.
In the age of reality tv - more and more people keep denying reality.
Oh, the irony!
This is why we need to end GSP with EU. NOW!
The EU extracts a heavy price (e.g. unwieldy regulations) for GSP - making our garment sector uncompetitive.
Without the burden of GSP - our exports to USA is rocketing...
Let’s see:
1. Two prime ministers assassinated.
2. Current prime minister committed genocide. Introduced NRC/CAA to commit another genocide against Indian Muslims.
3. Even after 75 years of independence they are piss poor.
4. Caste system is baked into law.
5. Backwardness has grown since...
40% dictating to the 60% is called tyranny via the ballot box.
Unfortunately, it has broken down in the U.K.
Northern Ireland never accepted it.
And now Scotland wants out.
Never worked in Bangladesh. The losers gridlocked the country through hartals.
Return of democracy will mean the...
Ultimately Bangladeshis will triumph because we are not blinded by hatred.
We do not give into the dark side.
Bilal is a good guy. He has even, rightly, scolded me for conflating Hindus and Hinduvta.
Bangladesh will never descend into the sort of religious and ethnic bigotry you see in our...
Bro, punitive tariffs only hurt the host country.
This is the Indian disease.
What’s the point of placing tariff on stuff we can never produce competitively.
Instead of putting tariff on Indian products - Hasina is cajoling India to lower tariff on Bangladeshi products.
That’s the win, win...
When you say support? What do you mean?
I hope you don’t mean subsidies!
Businesses want low taxes and unwieldy regulations.
That’s exactly what Hasina has given.
She is diligently keeping government revenue at around 8-10% of GDP.
Which has kept our garment manufacturers super competitive...
My best Mujib quote is,
“Ami musolman, ami bangali, ek bar mori bar bar na”
It showed his contempt for Hinduvta and Mullahs.
It is the perfect definition of a Bangladeshi. And what it means to be a Bangladeshi.
O
Bro, you paint a very colourful picture lol
Snake charmers are dirty people of Hinduvta extraction.
Muslims do not engage in such dirty professions.
Women power will eventually topple mullah power.
Which is why we need more garment jobs - until all our women are working.
Until then RAB...
Mullahs of all kinds are enemies from within.
These bastards always support USA.
Mullahs are like snakes. You might think they are perfect for dealing with the Hinduvta rats.
But the snakes will not hesitate to bite you as well.
Cleanliness is a much better way to deal with rats!
