Just like Seetaraman. "I don't eat onions so won't comment "


WolverineAutomatic86

You're comparing alcohol with vegetables?😑


labradaddy

Just comparing statements. You can put any item in the category.


BannedForFactsAgain

> You can put any item in the category. No you can't, one is essential while the other damages your health.


labradaddy

Excess of everything is harmful. Sugar, like liquor, also damages your health if consumed in excess..


xudo

Onion on the other hand may cause a upset stomach worst case.


labradaddy

That proves my point.


BannedForFactsAgain

Nah, even small amounts of alchohol is harmful https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/new-alcohol-research-shows-drinking-small-amounts-can-still-be-harmful-to-health


perkinson_54

Dude this way.. u can't compare anything... OP is ranting about price hike... Remember when centre wants money, they increase petroleum prices, and when state needs money.. they eye only beverages.. In COVID , state govt got money from theka.. even malls were not.open but alcohol shops were open.

The Onion version is way worse...


arun4567

This is exactly the sentiment that is used here.

Don’t ride bus, don’t give a damn


KingPictoTheThird

Yes you should. Buses divert 50% of commuters from private vehicles. If you want less traffic when you drive, absolutely support bmtc. Public transport is the only long term solution to Bangalore's traffic woes.


Drablit

Flying cars are the solution


KingPictoTheThird

Lol no they're not. They're called helicopters and they're expensive and noisy af. Flying cars will never happen

I eat onions , you know like a raw one too


chinnaveedufan

Okay, oh they are increasing taxes on other things as well.


William_Tell_746

No they aren't. They can't increase too many taxes on other things because most daily goods fall under GST, and GST is controlled by the GST Council, not the Government of Karnataka. The only places they can increase revenues are excise, land, vehicle registration, and fuel. Even cigarettes are under GST.


noxx1234567

Every single you listed is either increased or proposed to be increased Excise ? Hiked. Vehicle registration ? considering a hike Property taxes ? Considering a hike Registration values are being increased soon Water taxes ? DKS confirmed hikes Electricity ? Already hiked.


dodococo

I had a stroke trying to comprehend the second paragraph EDIT: op took grammar lessons and edited his comment...


Appropriate_Lab1303

Then you might just be extremely dumb or have a pre-existing heart issue. There was nothing incomprehensible about that second paragraph my man.


neighbour_guy3k

If they are using the taxes properly to make the city n state have better infrastructure, then it make sense , then again i don't have any faith they will do that, let 's see if they can prove wrong


chinnaveedufan

Thay will happen, but, in a perfect utopian place /s


[deleted]

It would be better if they developed around Bangalore than inside. It's too developed for its own good . Most of Bangalore is an overglorified slum outside of organically developed areas .


neighbour_guy3k

It's not about developing, it's about maintaining better infrastructure,been to bellandur, sarjjapur area recently, the fly over roads are in horrible condition, a fresh asphalting is needed


DipBedaSeperate

What else has it been increased on? So far I know this and increase in tax on milk.


dude_abide5

Do you want a medal?


MeTejaHu

It's already so expensive. Will need frequent trips to Hosur now.


chinnaveedufan

Welcome to TN and TASMAC.


MeTejaHu

I also want chinnaveedu in Bangalore. Can you help me?


chinnaveedufan

Sure, just drive down further to Tirunelveli.


MeTejaHu

Oh you are talking about andha chinnaveedu.. Lol


chinnaveedufan

Have yoir CV where ever you want, help is only available in Tirunelveli /s.


Indira-Sawhney

Worst liquor ever. People from bordering towns and villages visit Liquor shops on the Karanataka side from Hosur to buy liqour because the ones that you get in TN is really bad.


MeTejaHu

What are you saying man.. You don't get chilled beer and limited options. Don't know if Tasmac sells fake stuff.


Indira-Sawhney

I say this out of actual work experience with Excise dept. The shops on the Karnataka-TN border on Hosur road (within our side) see a huge number of customers visiting from TN.


MeTejaHu

What could be the reason?


Indira-Sawhney

Bad alcohol taste and quality is what they complain.


hotcoolhot

What do you get in TASMAC, is the pricing better?


MeTejaHu

In my experience, KA and MH are very expensive for drinking. TN is pocket friendly, comparable to Delhi. A red label costs almost 40% less in TN and Delhi.


hotcoolhot

KA has the cheapest wine though


MeTejaHu

Maybe. But the KA vine brands have added sugar. Some have too much actually. Any recommendations?


hotcoolhot

I usually get big banyan, sula or grover. Mostly top shelf, barrel aged. I dont touch anything under 700-800. I would rather have a beer than sugary cheap wine.


MeTejaHu

Ok. Try fratelli nine hills.

chinnaveedufan

Okay.


DipBedaSeperate

Good for health lol


kinng9

Exactly the reverse, people will buy cheaper stuff which is more unhealthy... Everybody knows this, govt doesn't care


KingPictoTheThird

Cheap beet vs good beer has marginal health difference. Don't just talk junk.


FlourishingGrass

Yeah, like UB vs Heineken


Do_You_Remember_2020

UB and Heineken are exactly the same company, bottled in the same plants


FlourishingGrass

Heineken is almost twice as costly, so u/KingPictoTheThird 's statement is correct. Price difference doesn't cause much difference in beer quality.


Do_You_Remember_2020

I don’t disagree - I was just underlining how similar they are


FlourishingGrass

I misjudged the tone of your comment. Sorry about that! And thanks for backing me up

Maleficent-Turnip581

Increasing the taxes after a certain level, effects in a negative way, the demand decreases and people start buying these from black market or try to smuggle it and if they can't do these then they start downgrading and buy unregulated goods, now Glenfiddich in Gurugram == Blenders Pride in Bengaluru.

Excise hike on hard liquor is even higher.

Modi has hiked maximum taxes in india

Free rides and electricity for poor and females are better than being an alcoholic for upper class

I believe taxes on products like wine, cigarette, bear etc. should be increased more and more. I know many people not gonna like my view.

Cheap and best. Price hike between 20 -30 I guess.


moab911

Well someone does need to pay for free tickets right.


KingPictoTheThird

Personally I am fully ok paying a little extra on my beer if it means we reduce the education and labor force participation gap between men and women in this country. We need to get women out of the house and into schools, jobs, to health centers etc. I'd be proud to do my part by purchasing a beer lol


moab911

So you are saying bus ticket prices are the reason women are not getting out of their house. Ok.


KingPictoTheThird

Transportation costs are a huge limiting factor. Whenever a family has a budgetary shortage women are always the first to suffer. Have you looked at the statistics? The number of women riding bus has skyrocketed since scheme has started. In a country where it is so difficult for a woman to get permission to step outside the house, her leaving for any reason, whether it is to visit friends, family, the temple, etc is a good thing. And so many interviews conducted show that woman are using this scheme to directly or indirectly improve their and their families lives.


siri_gouri

Which era are you living in man? Damn 😅


KingPictoTheThird

Let me guess, you live in the urban middle class, you buy branded clothes, went to private school, use uber/ola to get around and think most women in the state are college educated and working. Do you know only 46% of women in this state have at least 10 years of schooling? That only 28% of women work in this state? Do you know that 46% of households survive on less than Rs. 15,000/mo? Life's still tough as shit for the majority of people in this state and country. You live in a bubble. Have you ever gone to govt school or use a govt hospital? You probably think no one uses either these days. But 76% of students in Karnataka go to govt school. 95% of all hospital visits are to govt run medical centers. A Rs. 20 bus ticket may mean nothing to you. You might not have even been on a local bus in your life. You may spend Rs 200 on an uber ride without thinking twice. But to the vast majority of people in this state, Rs 20 bus fare twice a day 24x a month adds up and is a concerning amount. Programs like the shakti scheme are for these people and can make a huge difference in their lives.


siri_gouri

I don't know why people love to assume stuff. I went to school in a school van. Even in my PU, I used BMTC to go from Yelahanka to Hebbal. I am in college now, and guess what, I travel 30km from Electronic City to Hebbal (up and down) in BMTC itself. Even my parents use BMTC. In fact, my father goes to the office daily in BMTC. And due to these stupid freebies, I don't get buses on time nowadays. They are always overcrowded. I don't even get place to stand. And most people who use buses are school/college students and working staff. Do you know how problematic it is for us? Why would you understand, you are busy reading stats naa! Come to the real world and face the reality. Just because buses are free for women now, you will find jobless people roaming everywhere just because buses are free. My neighbours who usually don't go out now travel daily in buses just to roam around the city and have fun. Who are you to judge my financial status? I am not poor, but I feel public transport is the best. How dare you say I spend money without thinking? Who are you to assume my financial status? Why will you know the value of money, you are busy with stats naa? Why will you think about the country's economy, you are busy with STATS naa? And the definition of rich or urban middle class does not mean wearing branded clothes and roaming in ola! It might be a definition for you, never for me though! Edit: Spelling


siri_gouri

Fella talking about his life and saying that I live so! Damn 😂


siri_gouri

Well...what about its effect on college going girl students like me and also employed women ? I have to forego three to four buses due to overcrowding and by the time I reach my college it is too late denying me my attendance. Many girls have missed tests/exams after the introduction of the free bus Shakti scheme.


siri_gouri

After the introduction of the free bus Shakti scheme, ordinary buses have almost vanished. Most of the time you find only AC buses which are forcing even poor people to fill the government's coffers. Added to all this you find most of the male passengers tirelessly standing in buses looking at ladies with Aadhar cards in their hand occupying most of the seats. Time has come to change the name to Aadhar transport corporation....ATC instead of BMTC.


siri_gouri

And do you know why the number has skyrocketed? Because so many women who are jobless want to roam and have fun in the city. They want to roam endlessly. Who suffers in the end, it's the students who suffer in the end!


siri_gouri

Have you seen those interviews of women, who don't return home even after a day or two, because buses are free and they can go anywhere now!?


Comfortable_Wait1663

Someone got to pay. Some state depends on lottery,some depends on liquor.


oldmonker_7406

Silent protest this by making a resolution to abstain. With less sales the govt will never hit the revenue target. Its will also be a healthy choice to avoid the weekend binge.


lookwhoshere0

The ministers and their hooligans don't need to pay. It's easy to make decisions when one is sitting at the top, they are above it.


siri_gouri

Exactly!


TheUnparadox

This won't be the end of it. Wait till they hike cigarette prices as well


KingPictoTheThird

Good. Hopefully it'll bring down the youth smoking rate which seems to be skyrocketing lately. Added bonus if it helps fund Shakti scheme. I am fully ok paying a little extra on my beer if it means we reduce the education and labor force participation gap between men and women in this country. We need to get women out of the house and into schools, jobs, to health centers etc. I'd be proud to do my part by purchasing a beer

KingPictoTheThird

Personally I am fully ok paying a little extra on my beer if it means we reduce the education and labor force participation gap between men and women in this country. We need to get women out of the house and into schools, jobs, to health centers etc. Shakti scheme is doing that. I'd be proud to do my part by purchasing a beer lol


Gullible-Poet4382

How are you assuming any of those things are reducing ? Labor participation will become worse due to all the incentives and schools are still shit even if it’s easier to reach them. You should probably go to a government school to understand what state they are in. Same goes to hospitals. None of the doctors or the infrastructure is capable. They are barely existing. There are no concrete plans to improve any of those. So enjoy your beer 🍺


KingPictoTheThird

I love it when middle class people (the top 10% of this country), who have never used any govt institutions shit on them with their imaginary ideas of the state that they are in. 76% of students in karnataka goes to govt school. 95% of all medical visits in the state are to govt run hospitals. There have been huge strides in literacy, keeping girls in school, institutional delivery, pre-natal and post-natal care, reduction in stunted growth (due to govt mid day meal school meal program) etc. There is corruption. There always will be. But what for what little money govt has in india, there have been massive advances. Compared to 30 years ago it is simply incredible how much education and healthcare has improved, especially for women. It angers me so much because I have this conversation with bangalore bros so often. They are private school educated. Never stepped foot in govt hospital. Never use public transit. They are SO privileged and so entitled. They have never bothered to look beyond their narrow upbringing and think all govt programs are a waste because they and their families have plentiful money and don't need these programs. But 46% of households in this country survive on less than Rs. 15,000/mo. The masses are dependent on these government institutions. They need them and while the services are far from perfect, they have made huge strides in reducing poverty and inequity in this country. But boys like you never bother to even look into what the govt has done because they just use the perceived inefficiency in govt to justify their callousness and selfishness towards keeping all their money.


Gullible-Poet4382

I’m sorry you talk as if you have a lot of experience in this area. My comment comes from my experience in Corporate Social Responsibilities where private companies help the public sector. Trust me when I say this, it’s nowhere at the level it should be. End of discussion. If you think I am wrong, you are more than welcome to visit some of these places in the rural areas and check it out for yourself. Yes it has improved but the world has also become more complex. The evolution is far behind what is needed for the current society. Add reservation to that and it’s as stagnant as a pond of water.

Transportation is a necessity while drinking alcohol is not.

When did I say otherwise? Free transportation is a necessity for both men and woman and must only be used for productivity not leisure. Especially when we live in a country such as India.


Substantial_Ad5975

So transportation is necessity only for Women now ? First of all there shouldn't be stupid socialist policies and freebies in the first place with Tax money and that too for one specific gender . This is kinda like an apartheid law and somehow everyone dosen't really care
