    I notice that the paragraph on a possible IT Mutt and IT Swami are not spoken out loud in the podcast- somethings can be written ‘OFF’ but not spoken about :)

    I watched the Pronnoy Roy show online. I just failed to understand why he said that election time was time for “Battleground”. I just fail to understand why an exhibition of the ballot should be labelled as something more related to the bullet.

    IT and BT are businesses. Business looks out for itself, not consumers. It pretends to be apolitical. Consciously or unconsciously many of the wonks come down on the side of the exploiters. Don’t bite the hand, etc.
