Hi everybody, welcome to my sale thread! I've lowered the prices on some anime, most manga sets and light novels. Prices have been lowered on most things over the past week or so. I've tried to answer most potential questions below, but feel free to ask me any questions that aren't addressed.
Please comment on the thread before sending me a PM or Chat message, and make sure your shipping address is updated on your PayPal account before sending payment.
No holds for longer than 1-2 days and throw out the first offer if you want to negotiate, though some prices are firm.
I will not split any sets, except for Tramps Like Us. How I'm willing to split them are outlined in the lists below.
Shipping:
Canada and the USA: Free shipping on all orders $100 CAD (around $75.50 USD) or over. Otherwise, shipping with tracking starts at $11.50 CAD (around $8.75 USD) and goes up based on weight + package dimensions unless stated otherwise.
Europe/International: Starts at $16 CAD for single books and goes up based on weight + package dimensions. Please ask for a shipping quote.
Prices are in Canadian dollars, with the listed USD price provided as a reference as FX rates fluctuate slightly every day. (PayPal will automatically convert your USD/local currency to CAD when you pay.) Local pickup and payment can be arranged if you live in the Greater Toronto Area.

I have an laptop with i7-7700HQ CPU and dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 laptop, however, when playing HEVC files from plex, the plex server is requiring to transcode the files which results in choppy playback experience. Playing other media formats, particularly 1080p plays fine with no transcoding.
The plex server is installed in my TrueNAS server which is running on Intel Processor N100.
My plex client (laptop) is transcoding the video from 4K DoVi/HDR10 (HEVC Main 10) to 4K (H264)—Transcode.

"喜力啤酒將重新開放 60 多家關閉的酒吧
啤酒巨頭喜力將重新開放近年來關閉的 62 家酒吧，並投資 3,900 萬英鎊翻新英國各地數百家酒吧。
該公司表示，向其 Star Pubs & Bars 連鎖店注入現金將創造 1,000 多個新工作機會。
由於生活成本壓力影響了消費者支出，英國酒吧業在新冠疫情期間和之後都因關閉而受到嚴重打擊。
據英國啤酒和酒吧協會 (BBPA) 稱，2021 年至 2023 年間，酒吧以每年 500 家的速度關閉。
Star Pubs & Bars 目前經營 2,400 家酒吧。 2019年，它在英國擁有2,700家酒吧。
Star Pubs & Bars 的發言人表示：“對於任何大型租賃和承租的酒吧公司來說，讓其所有酒吧在同一時間開業都是不現實的。”
他們表示，這個數字會因一系列因素而波動，但補充說：“我們大約 95% 的酒吧在任何時間都營業。”
Star 計劃翻新 600 多家酒吧，據稱選擇的地點反映了有多少顧客減少了前往市中心的通勤頻率。
喜力表示：“隨著在家工作變得越來越普遍，人們希望節省旅行費用，重大整修工作將集中在將郊區陳舊的酒吧改造成本地優質酒吧。”
該公司表示，到今年年底，自 2023 年初以來，英國業務將重新開放 156 家酒吧，「將其莊園內關閉的酒吧數量減少到大流行前的水平」。
新冠疫情期間，酒吧被迫關閉，以防止病毒傳播。當他們被允許重新開業時，他們面臨一系列限制，包括強制性餐桌服務、團體人數限制和 22:00 宵禁。
2021年初，海尼根宣布將在全球裁員8,000人。第二年，它警告稱，衡量價格上漲速度的通膨率“破紀錄”，尤其是大麥和鋁等大宗商品。
這是在 2022 年 2 月下旬俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭之前，該事件導致能源、燃料和穀物成本上漲。
根據英國國家統計局的數據，3 月份一品脫生啤酒的平均價格達到 4.71 英鎊，而 2020 年 2 月，在次月大流行封鎖之前，每品脫啤酒的平均價格為 3.76 英鎊。
同時，BBPA 的數據顯示，英國酒吧數量已從 2019 年新冠疫情爆發前的 47,200 家減少到 2023 年的 45,350 家。然而，酒吧數量一段時間以來一直在下降。十年前，營運中的飛機數量為 52,500 架，比 2023 年增加了 7,150 架。
喜力重新開業的一些酒吧已經關閉了四年多，其他酒吧已經關閉了 12 個月。
位於巴恩斯利沃斯伯勒的這艘船於四年半前關閉並處於休眠狀態，直到耗資 37 萬英鎊進行翻新並於 2024 年 2 月重新開放。
德比郡的Ashford Arms 餐廳被Star Pubs 形容為“新冠疫情的受害者”，該餐廳於2020 年3 月關閉，但在該公司與峰區獨立酒店企業Longbow Venues 聯合耗資160 萬英鎊進行翻新後重新開業。

「新冠受害者」阿什福德武器公司已關閉四年多
卡萊爾的 Coach & Horses 關閉了一年，據 Star Pubs 稱，「聲譽不佳，顧客很少」。
據酒吧的授權商蘇珊·格雷厄姆(Susan Graham) 稱，「人們多年來一直避開這家酒吧。」此後，該酒吧耗資30 萬英鎊進行了改造。 ，他們的下巴都快掉到地上了，」她說。
喜力希望其酒吧的改造能夠吸引飲酒者和食客回來，包括使用“微妙的分區”讓顧客能夠享受不同的活動，例如觀看體育比賽和用餐，“而不會互相干擾”。
該公司表示，將使用分隔螢幕以及照明、音響系統和家具風格的明顯改變來「幫助劃分區域」。
喜力的這項宣布是最新跡象，顯示英國酒吧業在受到疫情和生活成本危機的重大打擊後，出現了成長跡象。
上週，大型酒吧連鎖店 Greene King 表示將在 2027 年之前開設價值 4,000 萬英鎊的新啤酒廠。
以 Abbot Ale、Greene King IPA 和 Old Speckled Hen 等品牌而聞名的 Greene King 表示，此舉代表了「對英國釀酒的長期承諾」。
這家擁有 225 年歷史的公司於 2019 年被香港營運商 CKA 出售，在英國擁有約 2,700 家酒吧、餐廳和酒店。
西班牙達姆啤酒公司最近宣布將投資 5,000 萬英鎊在貝德福德新建一家啤酒廠。它於 2022 年從嘉士伯馬斯頓啤酒公司 (Carlsberg Marston’s Brewing Company) 手中購買了該場地。
BBPA 執行長艾瑪·麥克拉金 (Emma McClarkin) 表示，這些計劃「表明了投資英國啤酒和酒吧行業的信心，這將有助於促進英國當地經濟急需的成長」。
她補充說：“本屆政府和下一屆政府需要製定更長期、更有支持性的財政和監管框架，以釋放進一步的成長和投資機會。”
在 3 月的預算中，財政大臣傑里米·亨特 (Jeremy Hunt) 宣布凍結酒精稅將持續到 2025 年 2 月。
他還將零售、酒店和休閒企業的營業費率提供 75% 的折扣，直至 2025 年。
喜力旗下的 Star Pubs & Bars 今年將重新開幕的部分地點包括：
謝菲爾德埃克斯菲爾德的黑牛
斯托克波特 Cheadle Hulme 的 Hesketh 酒館
南約克郡 Wombwell 的交界處

"喜力啤酒将重新开放 60 多家关闭的酒吧
啤酒巨头喜力将重新开放近年来关闭的 62 家酒吧，并投资 3900 万英镑翻新英国各地数百家酒吧。
该公司表示，向其 Star Pubs & Bars 连锁店注入现金将创造 1,000 多个新就业岗位。
由于生活成本压力影响了消费者支出，英国酒吧业在新冠疫情期间和之后都因关闭而受到严重打击。
据英国啤酒和酒吧协会 (BBPA) 称，2021 年至 2023 年间，酒吧以每年 500 家的速度关闭。
Star Pubs & Bars 目前经营着 2,400 家酒吧。 2019年，它在英国拥有2,700家酒吧。
Star Pubs & Bars 的一位发言人表示：“对于任何大型租赁和承租的酒吧公司来说，让其所有酒吧在同一时间开业都是不现实的。”
他们表示，这个数字会因一系列因素而波动，但补充道：“我们大约 95% 的酒吧在任何时间都营业。”
Star 计划翻新 600 多家酒吧，据称选择的地点反映了有多少顾客减少了前往市中心的通勤频率。
喜力表示：“随着在家工作变得越来越普遍，人们希望节省旅行费用，重大整修工作将集中在将郊区陈旧的酒吧改造成本地优质酒吧。”
该公司表示，到今年年底，自 2023 年初以来，英国业务将重新开放 156 家酒吧，“将其庄园内关闭的酒吧数量减少到大流行前的水平”。
新冠疫情期间，酒吧被迫关闭，以防止病毒传播。当他们被允许重新开业时，他们面临着一系列限制，包括强制性餐桌服务、团体人数限制和 22:00 宵禁。
2021年初，喜力宣布将在全球裁员8000人。第二年，它警告称，衡量价格上涨速度的通胀率“破纪录”，尤其是大麦和铝等大宗商品。
这是在 2022 年 2 月下旬俄罗斯入侵乌克兰之前，该事件导致能源、燃料和谷物成本上涨。
根据英国国家统计局的数据，3 月份一品脱生啤酒的平均价格达到 4.71 英镑，而 2020 年 2 月，在次月大流行封锁之前，每品脱啤酒的平均价格为 3.76 英镑。
与此同时，BBPA 的数据显示，英国酒吧数量已从 2019 年新冠疫情爆发前的 47,200 家减少到 2023 年的 45,350 家。然而，酒吧数量一段时间以来一直在下降。十年前，运营中的飞机数量为 52,500 架，比 2023 年增加了 7,150 架。

喜力的这一宣布是最新迹象，表明英国酒吧业在受到疫情和生活成本危机的重大打击后，出现了增长迹象。

他还将零售、酒店和休闲企业的营业费率提供 75% 的折扣，直至 2025 年。每家企业的价值高达 11 万英镑。

"Heineken se terġa' tiftaħ aktar minn 60 pub magħluq
Il-ġgant tal-birra Heineken se jerġa’ jiftaħ 62 pub li ingħalqu f’dawn l-aħħar snin u jinvesti £39m fir-rinnovament ta’ mijiet ta’ siti madwar ir-Renju Unit.
Il-kumpanija qalet li l-injezzjoni ta’ flus kontanti fil-katina tagħha Star Pubs & Bars se toħloq aktar minn 1,000 impjieg ġdid.
L-industrija tal-pubs tar-Renju Unit intlaqtet ħafna mill-għeluq kemm matul il-pandemija tal-Covid kif ukoll wara hekk kif il-pressjonijiet tal-għoli tal-ħajja taw piż fuq l-infiq tal-konsumatur.
Bejn l-2021 u l-2023, il-pubs għalqu b’rata ta’ 500 fis-sena, skont il-British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA).
Star Pubs & Bars bħalissa topera 2,400 pub. Fl-2019, kellha 2,700 pub madwar ir-Renju Unit.
Kelliem għal Star Pubs & Bars qal: ""Ma jkunx realistiku għal kwalunkwe kumpanija ewlenija tal-pub mikrija u kerrejja li jkollha l-pubs kollha tagħha miftuħa f'kull ħin.""
Huma qalu li n-numru jvarja fuq firxa ta 'fatturi, iżda żiedu: ""Madwar 95% tal-pubs tagħna huma miftuħa fi kwalunkwe ħin.""
Star qed tippjana li tirrinova aktar minn 600 pub, billi tagħżel postijiet li qalet tirrifletti kemm mill-klijenti tagħha naqqsu kemm-il darba jivvjaġġaw lejn iċ-ċentri tal-belt.
Heineken qal: ""Bil-ħidma mid-dar aktar komuni u nies li qed ifittxu li jiffrankaw fuq l-ivvjaġġar, ristrutturazzjonijiet kbar se jikkonċentraw fuq it-trasformazzjoni ta 'pubs għajjien f'żoni suburbani f'lokal premium.""
Il-kumpanija qalet li sal-aħħar ta 'din is-sena, l-operazzjoni tar-Renju Unit se tkun reġgħet fetħet 156 pub mill-bidu tal-2023, ""tnaqqas in-numru ta' pubs magħluqa fil-proprjetà tagħha għal livelli ta 'qabel il-pandemija"".
Matul il-Covid, il-pubs kienu sfurzati jagħlqu biex jipprevjenu t-tixrid tal-virus. Meta tħallew jerġgħu jiftħu, iffaċċjaw numru ta’ restrizzjonijiet fosthom servizz obbligatorju tal-mejda, limiti fuq id-daqs tal-gruppi u curfew fit-22:00.
Fil-bidu tal-2021, Heineken ħabbret li se tnaqqas 8,000 impjieg globalment. Is-sena ta’ wara wissiet l-inflazzjoni – li tkejjel il-pass taż-żidiet fil-prezzijiet – kienet “off the charts”, b’mod partikolari fuq komoditajiet bħax-xgħir u l-aluminju.
Dan kien qabel l-invażjoni tar-Russja tal-Ukrajna lejn l-aħħar ta’ Frar 2022 li neħħiet l-ispiża tal-enerġija, il-fjuwil u l-qamħ.
Il-prezz medju ta 'pinta ta' lager lager laħaq £ 4.71 f'Marzu, skont l-Uffiċċju għall-Istatistika Nazzjonali, meta mqabbel ma '£ 3.76 fi Frar 2020 qabel lockdowns pandemiċi mifruxa ix-xahar ta' wara.
Sadanittant, in-numru ta’ pubs fir-Renju Unit naqas minn 47,200 fl-2019, qabel Covid, għal 45,350 fl-2023, turi dejta mill-BBPA. Madankollu, in-numri tal-pubs ilhom jonqsu għal xi żmien. Għaxar snin ilu kien hemm 52,500 joperaw li huma 7,150 aktar mill-2023.
Xi wħud mill-pubs li Heineken qed tiftaħ mill-ġdid ilhom magħluqa għal aktar minn erba’ snin, oħrajn ilhom magħluqa għal 12-il xahar.
Il-Vapur f’Worsbrough, Barnsley għalaq il-bibien tiegħu erba’ snin u nofs ilu u baqa’ rieqed sakemm ġie rranġat bi spiża ta’ £370,000 u reġa’ fetaħ fi Frar tal-2024.
L-Ashford Arms f'Derbyshire, li Star Pubs iddeskrivew bħala ""diżgrazzja tal-Covid"", ingħalqet f'Marzu 2020 iżda reġgħu nfetħu wara rranġament konġunt ta' £1.6m mill-kumpanija u Longbow Venues, negozju indipendenti tal-ospitalità fil-Peak District.
Star Pubs & Bars The Ashford Arms f'Derbyshire Star Pubs & Bars
""Diżgrazzja tal-Covid"" Ashford Arms kienet ilha magħluqa għal aktar minn erba 'snin
Il-Coach & Horses f'Carlisle kien magħluq għal sena u, skont Star Pubs, ""kellu reputazzjoni fqira u ftit klijenti"".
""In-nies evitati l-pub għal snin,"" skond il-liċenzjat tagħha Susan Graham. Minn dakinhar ġie mġedded bi spiża ta '£ 300,000. ""Il-geddum [tal-klijenti] laqat l-art meta raw il-bidla,"" qalet.
Heineken tittama li t-tiġdid tal-pubs tiegħu se jħajjar lil dawk li jixorbu u lill-ikel lura, inkluż l-użu ta '""zoning sottili"" biex il-klijenti jkunu jistgħu jgawdu attivitajiet differenti bħal jaraw l-isports u jieklu ""mingħajr ma jfixklu lil xulxin"".
Qalet li se tuża skrins diviżorji u bidliet distinti għad-dawl, is-sistemi tal-ħoss u l-istili tal-għamara biex ""jgħinu biex jiġu delineati ż-żoni"".
It-tħabbira minn Heineken hija l-aħħar indikazzjoni li l-industrija tal-pubs Brittaniċi qed tara sinjali ta’ tkabbir wara daqqiet kbar mill-pandemija u l-kriżi tal-għoli tal-ħajja.
Il-ġimgħa li għaddiet, il-katina ewlenija tal-pubs Greene King qalet li se tiftaħ il-birrerija l-ġdida tagħha ta’ £40m sal-2027.
Greene King, magħrufa għal ditti bħal Abbot Ale, Greene King IPA u Old Speckled Hen, qalet li l-mossa tirrappreżenta ""impenn fit-tul għall-produzzjoni tal-birra Brittanika"".
Il-kumpanija ta '225 sena, li nbiegħet lill-operatur ta' Ħong Kong CKA fl-2019, għandha madwar 2,700 pub, ristoranti u lukandi fir-Renju Unit.
Damm ta’ Spanja dan l-aħħar ħabbret li se tinvesti £50m f’birrerija ġdida f’Bedford. Hija xtrat is-sit fl-2022 mingħand Carlsberg Marston's Brewing Company.
Emma McClarkin, kap eżekuttiv tal-BBPA, qalet li l-pjanijiet huma ""dimostrazzjoni tal-fiduċja li wieħed jinvesti fis-settur tal-birra u tal-pubs tal-Gran Brittanja li se jgħin biex jiġġenera tkabbir tant meħtieġ fl-ekonomiji lokali madwar ir-Renju Unit"".
Żiedet tgħid: ""Dan jista' jkun ikkargat b'qafas fiskali u regolatorju fuq perjodu itwal u ta' appoġġ li dan u l-gvern li jmiss jeħtieġ li jdaħħlu fis-seħħ biex jinfetħu aktar opportunitajiet ta' tkabbir u investiment.""
Fil-Baġit f’Marzu, il-Kanċillier Jeremy Hunt ħabbar li l-iffriżar tad-dazju fuq l-alkoħol kien se jkompli sa Frar 2025. Kien stabbilit li jintemm f’Awwissu.
Huwa estenda wkoll skont ta’ 75% għar-rati tan-negozju għal ditti tal-bejgħ bl-imnut, tal-ospitalità u tad-divertiment sal-2025. Huwa jiswa sa £110,000 għal kull negozju.
Uħud mis-siti li Star Pubs & Bars, proprjetà ta’ Heineken, qed jerġgħu jiftħu din is-sena jinkludu:

"免費水、住房、食物：莫迪4000億美元的福利賭注贏得印度選舉
巴拉拉姆·巴拉維 (Balaram Bhallavi) 和他的家人可能最終能找到一個合適的棲身之所。
多年來，印度中部中央邦一個陽光普照的村莊裡的一間鋪著瓷磚的棚屋一直是巴拉維先生、他的妻子和四個正在上學的孩子的家。廚房裡有一條泥地板門廳、幾把塑膠椅、兩張繩床和磨損的晾衣繩。
經過三年的等待，巴拉維一家去年從莫迪總理政府實施的一項計劃中獲得了 12 萬盧比（1,445 美元；1,136 英鎊），使他們能夠開始建造新房子。
自 2016 年以來，根據名為 Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana（總理住房計劃）的農村公共住房計劃，已經建造了超過 2500 萬套住房。這是莫迪先生在大選期間依靠的 300 多項聯邦計劃之一來增強對印度人民黨 (BJP) 的支持，因為他的目標是在第三個任期中追平創紀錄的任期。
「生活很艱難。但我很感激能從政府那裡得到資金來建造我的第一棟房子，」42 歲的巴拉維先生說。

中央邦：巴拉維先生的房子
2014 年上台後，莫迪擴大了印度的福利計劃，特別是針對婦女和農民。這包括提供烹飪燃氣、免費糧食、房屋、廁所、自來水、電力和銀行帳戶，以及加強長期的就業保障計劃。
許多福利——退休金、補貼、貸款和獎學金——都是透過現金轉移到與超過十億印度人持有的生物識別身份證相關聯的銀行帳戶來提供的。莫迪先生以他的個人「保證」宣傳這些計劃的巨幅海報佔據了主導地位。
莫迪表示，過去十年，他的政府已花費超過 34 兆盧比（4,000 億美元；3,160 億英鎊），為低收入家庭提供直接現金福利，惠及 9 億多人。每年向超過 1.1 億農民發放 6,000 盧比，這是世界上最大的現金轉移計畫之一。官員聲稱，這些轉移減少了腐敗並削減了成本。
經濟學家阿文德·薩勃拉曼尼安（Arvind Subramanian）將此稱為莫迪的“新福利主義”，為廁所等基本私人項目提供資金，而不是擴大初等教育和醫療保健等公共產品。
誠然，「新福利主義」有別於歐洲或美國的傳統福利模式。
美國傾向於縮小政府規模和降低稅收，從而帶來適度的社會轉移支付，而歐洲福利國家則更為慷慨。斯堪的納維亞半島等社會民主國家傾向於在增稅的支持下提高社會支出。
在莫迪先生的暗示下，印度各黨派都感染了約翰霍普金斯大學的德維什·卡普爾（Devesh Kapur）所說的「跨邦和政黨間存在眾多計劃的現金轉移病毒」。
該國各州政府目前實施了 2,000 多個現金轉移計畫。 「印度的每個政黨都知道福利對選票至關重要，」卡普爾先生說。

不過，這是一個由執政的Trinamool 國大黨組織的福利營，領導者是一位富有魅力的地區領導人瑪瑪塔·班納吉(Mamata Banerjee)，迄今為止，他已經擊退了莫迪領導的東部邦人民黨，該邦擁有超過1 億人口。
班納吉女士在第三個任期內優先考慮福利舉措，實施了大約三打計畫。其中包括免費自行車上學、為女孩提供獎學金、經濟援助、為婦女、老年人和殘疾人提供退休金，以及全民健康保險。

印度：“福利就在你家門口”
「我們在這裡提供從出生到死亡的福利，」地區高級官員納齊魯丁·薩卡(Naziruddin Sarkar)說。
為了減輕前往遙遠的政府辦公室和與無助的官員打交道的負擔，班納吉女士的政府實施了一項名為“Duare Sarkar”的福利外展計劃，意思是“政府就在你家門口”。官方數據顯示，光是過去三年，就有超過 1 億人在 23 個地區的 65 萬多個此類營地透過不同計畫登記領取福利。
比什努普爾的難民營提供了受益者生計的概況。
肖巴·蒙達爾 (Shobha Mondal) 說，她正在用遺孀的養老金供兒子上學。莫妮卡·蒂蒂（Monika Tithi）以農民、部落居民和婦女的身份，使用三種不同的退休金來經營鄉村雜貨店。另一位寡婦迪帕利·蒙達爾 (Dipali Mondal) 用她的養老金製作和銷售街邊小吃。
「當年老或喪偶的婦女有錢時，她們在家裡會受到更多尊重。退休金給了她們尊嚴，」高級官員 Choten Dhendup Lama 說。

在數百英里外的印度南部安得拉邦沿海城市維沙卡帕特南，Y Laxmi 將希望寄託在福利上，以確保她的孩子們擁有更光明的未來。
她與失聰且有語言障礙的丈夫、兩個正在上學的兒子以及喪偶的婆婆住在一起。他們每月依靠丈夫的殘疾和婆婆的寡婦退休金總共 6,000 盧比的救濟來維持家庭。

Y Laxmi 和她的婆婆 Y Saraswati 依靠福利生活
YSR 國大黨領袖 YS Jagan Mohan Reddy 領導下的州政府資助了二十多個福利項目。其中包括對婦女自助團體的援助，甚至每月向腎臟病患者支付透析費用。
潛在的改變遊戲規則的是“Amma Vodi”或“母親的膝蓋”計劃，該計劃每年提供 15,000 盧比的支持，幫助像拉克西米女士這樣的母親送孩子上學。她 17 歲的兒子瓦姆西 (Vamsi) 渴望進入該國頂尖的工程學校印度理工學院 (Indian Institute of Technology)。
「政府提供的資金有望幫助他實現夢想，」拉克西米女士說。

莫迪繼承了印度的福利制度——免費食品、電力和農業補貼、農村住房和農村就業計畫——並使其規模更大。
調查顯示，選民認可執政黨的福利計劃，自十年前莫迪上台以來，自稱使用清潔烹飪燃料、廁所和婦女使用銀行帳戶的家庭數量有所增加。向各州的學校和大學的女孩免費分發自行車增加了教育的機會。

瑪麗卡·卡爾（前中）和她在西孟加拉邦的家人收到了大量施捨
但福利轉化為選票的證據更為複雜。印度選舉的勝利不僅取決於單一因素——種姓、人口和宗教認同是政黨支持率的其他關鍵預測因素。
2019年，民調組織Lokniti-CSDS的一項調查發現，由於莫迪的支持率上升以及福利計畫的影響，印度人民黨在當年的大選中吸引了更多女性選民。然而，西孟加拉邦最近的一項研究得出的結論是，在解釋印度人民黨在該邦日益受歡迎的原因時，「意識形態和身份政治」超過了福利考慮。
去年，在越來越多的腐敗指控中，印度人民黨儘管推出了一系列福利計劃，但還是在卡納塔克邦的選舉中失利。在以社會流動性高而聞名的安得拉邦，由於缺乏就業機會且基礎設施薄弱，人們懷疑僅依靠福利舉措是否足以讓雷迪先生在今年夏天獲勝。許多人抱怨福利有損職業道德。
「領導人從這些計劃中獲得了政治利益。但隨著時間的推移，回報遞減。治理和其他事情開始變得更加重要，」薩布拉馬尼安先生說。
他還警告不要出現“競爭性民粹主義”，強調過多的福利計劃對公共資金造成壓力。根據國際貨幣基金組織的數據，印度聯邦和邦政府的公共債務超過 GDP 的 80%。去年12月，國際貨幣基金組織在報告中指出印度「公共債務水準和或有負債風險升高」。
「各國正在玩火，」薩勃拉曼尼亞先生說。 “這些計劃已經成為永久的權利。我不知道這將如何結束。”
關於「新福利主義」是否損害了財政，目前還沒有定論。專家也警告說，這些計劃不足以讓人們擺脫貧困；醫療保健和教育方面的投資也至關重要。
然後，大肆宣傳的計劃也出現了下滑。在維沙卡帕特南，儘管拉克西米女士的家人得到了充足的救濟，但由於缺乏自來水連接，她的家人還是花了一大筆錢購買飲用水，並去鄰居的公寓上廁所，因為他們沒有廁所。
此外，通貨膨脹和收入下降往往意味著福利有其限制。巴拉維先生在中央邦得到了一份救濟來建造自己的房子，每天透過建造磚房賺取 500 盧比。儘管擁有農場，但反常的天氣和高昂的化肥價格使農業無法生存。
他表示，他還需要補充住房貼，並以年利率 12% 的利率從鄉村放債人那裡額外借入 80,000 盧比來建造自己的房子，這突顯了獲得負擔得起的正規信貸的持續挑戰。
Bimal Thanhachan Lakhpati Bai Bhallabi - 中央邦Bimal Thancanachan
在中央邦，拉赫帕蒂·白 (Lakhpati Bai) 無力負擔補充燃氣的費用，只能依靠她的舊粘土爐做飯
他的妻子拉赫帕蒂·白 (Lakhpati Bai) 表示，儘管他們享受了兩年烹飪燃氣補貼，但由於天然氣價格上漲，他們很難補充空餘的氣瓶。 「我們大部分的烹飪都是在黏土爐上進行的，」她說。
2022 年，印度內政部長阿米特·沙阿為其政府的福利方針辯護。
「我們已經提供了天然氣連接、電力連接，並由他們[人們]來支付賬單。我們為他們建造了廁所，但他們必須維護它們......我們所做的是提供幫助來改善他們的生活- 這就是賦權，」沙阿先生告訴《印度快報》。
印度用於醫療保健的支出不到國內生產毛額的 1%，教育支出也大幅削減。將免費糧食計畫延伸至 8 億多人直至 2028 年，也顯示農村經濟陷入困境。卡普爾先生認為，現金轉移「已成為一種簡單的短期解決方案，而更困難的長期解決方案，例如對農業、教育和醫療保健的充分投資，則被忽視了」。
「所有這些都需要製度建設，這是一項艱鉅的任務。因此，儘管新福利主義有很多值得稱讚的地方，但人們擔心這可能會以建立對長期生產力和增長至關重要的製度為代價， 」他說。大多數印度人都會同意。

"免费水、住房、食物：莫迪4000亿美元的福利赌注赢得印度选举
巴拉拉姆·巴拉维 (Balaram Bhallavi) 和他的家人可能最终能找到一个合适的栖身之所。
多年来，印度中部中央邦一个阳光普照的村庄里的一间铺着瓷砖的棚屋一直是巴拉维先生、他的妻子和四个正在上学的孩子的家。厨房里有一条泥地板门厅、几把塑料椅子、两张绳床和磨损的晾衣绳。
经过三年的等待，巴拉维一家去年从纳伦德拉·莫迪总理政府实施的一项计划中获得了 120,000 卢比（1,445 美元；1,136 英镑），使他们能够开始建造新房。
自 2016 年以来，根据名为 Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana（总理住房计划）的农村公共住房计划，已经建造了超过 2500 万套住房。这是莫迪先生在大选期间依靠的 300 多项联邦计划之一来增强对印度人民党 (BJP) 的支持，因为他的目标是在第三个任期中追平创纪录的任期。
“生活很艰难。但我很感激能从政府那里得到资金来建造我的第一栋房子，”42 岁的巴拉维先生说。
0:42
中央邦：巴拉维先生的房子
2014 年上台后，莫迪扩大了印度的福利计划，特别针对妇女和农民。这包括提供烹饪燃气、免费粮食、房屋、厕所、自来水、电力和银行账户，以及加强长期的就业保障计划。
许多福利——养老金、补贴、贷款和奖学金——都是通过现金转移到与超过十亿印度人持有的生物识别身份证相关联的银行账户来提供的。莫迪先生以他的个人“保证”宣传这些计划的巨幅海报占据了主导地位。
莫迪表示，过去十年，他的政府已花费超过 34 万亿卢比（4000 亿美元；3160 亿英镑），为低收入家庭提供直接现金福利，惠及 9 亿多人。每年向超过 1.1 亿农民发放 6,000 卢比，这是世界上最大的现金转移计划之一。官员们声称，这些转移减少了腐败并削减了成本。
经济学家阿文德·萨勃拉曼尼安（Arvind Subramanian）将此称为莫迪的“新福利主义”，为厕所等基本私人项目提供资金，而不是扩大初等教育和医疗保健等公共产品。
诚然，“新福利主义”有别于欧洲或美国的传统福利模式。
美国倾向于缩小政府规模和降低税收，从而带来适度的社会转移支付，而欧洲福利国家则更为慷慨。斯堪的纳维亚半岛等社会民主国家倾向于在增税的支持下提高社会支出。
在莫迪先生的暗示下，印度各党派都感染了约翰·霍普金斯大学的德维什·卡普尔（Devesh Kapur）所说的“跨邦和政党间存在众多计划的现金转移病毒”。
该国各州政府目前实施了 2,000 多个现金转移计划。 “印度的每个政党都知道福利对选票至关重要，”卡普尔先生说。

莫迪继承了印度的福利制度——免费食品、电力和农业补贴、农村住房和农村就业计划——并使其规模更大。
调查显示，选民认可执政党的福利计划，自十年前莫迪上台以来，自称使用清洁烹饪燃料、厕所和妇女使用银行账户的家庭数量有所增加。向各州的学校和大学的女孩免费分发自行车增加了受教育的机会。

玛丽卡·卡尔（前中）和她在西孟加拉邦的家人收到了大量施舍
但福利转化为选票的证据则更为复杂。印度选举的胜利不仅仅取决于单一因素——种姓、人口和宗教身份是政党支持率的其他关键预测因素。
2019年，民意调查组织Lokniti-CSDS的一项调查发现，由于莫迪的支持率上升以及福利计划的影响，印度人民党在当年的大选中吸引了更多女性选民。然而，西孟加拉邦最近的一项研究得出的结论是，在解释印度人民党在该邦日益受欢迎的原因时，“意识形态和身份政治”超过了福利考虑。
去年，在越来越多的腐败指控中，印度人民党尽管推出了一系列福利计划，但还是在卡纳塔克邦的选举中失利。在以社会流动性高而闻名的安得拉邦，由于缺乏就业机会且基础设施薄弱，人们怀疑仅仅依靠福利举措是否足以让雷迪先生在今年夏天获胜。许多人抱怨福利有损职业道德。
“领导人从这些计划中获得了政治利益。但随着时间的推移，回报递减。治理和其他事情开始变得更加重要，”萨布拉马尼安先生说。
他还警告不要出现“竞争性民粹主义”，强调过多的福利计划对公共资金造成压力。根据国际货币基金组织的数据，印度联邦和邦政府的公共债务超过 GDP 的 80%。去年12月，国际货币基金组织在一份报告中指出印度“公共债务水平和或有负债风险升高”。
“各国正在玩火，”萨勃拉曼尼亚先生说。 “这些计划已经成为永久的权利。我不知道这将如何结束。”
关于“新福利主义”是否损害了财政，目前还没有定论。专家还警告说，这些计划不足以让人们摆脱贫困；医疗保健和教育方面的投资也至关重要。
然后，大肆宣传的计划也出现了下滑。在维沙卡帕特南，尽管拉克西米女士的家人得到了充足的救济，但由于缺乏自来水连接，她的家人还是花了一大笔钱购买饮用水，并去邻居的公寓上厕所，因为他们没有厕所。
此外，通货膨胀和收入下降往往意味着福利有其局限性。巴拉维先生在中央邦得到了一份救济来建造自己的房子，每天通过建造砖房赚取 500 卢比。尽管拥有农场，但反常的天气和高昂的化肥价格使农业无法生存。
他表示，他还需要补充住房补​​贴，并以年利率 12% 的利率从乡村放债人那里额外借入 80,000 卢比来建造自己的房子，这突显了获得负担得起的正规信贷的持续挑战。

他的妻子拉赫帕蒂·白 (Lakhpati Bai) 表示，尽管他们享受了两年烹饪燃气补贴，但由于天然气价格上涨，他们很难补充空余的气瓶。 “我们大部分的烹饪都是在粘土炉上进行的，”她说。
2022 年，印度内政部长阿米特·沙阿为其政府的福利方针辩护。
“我们已经提供了天然气连接、电力连接，并由他们[人们]来支付账单。我们为他们建造了厕所，但他们必须维护它们......我们所做的是提供帮助来改善他们的生活 - 这就是赋权，”沙阿先生告诉《印度快报》。
印度用于医疗保健的支出不到国内生产总值的 1%，教育支出也被大幅削减。将免费粮食计划延伸至 8 亿多人直至 2028 年，也表明农村经济陷入困境。卡普尔先生认为，现金转移“已成为一种简单的短期解决方案，而更困难的长期解决方案，例如对农业、教育和医疗保健的充分投资，则被忽视了”。
“所有这些都需要制度建设，这是一项艰巨的任务。因此，尽管新福利主义有很多值得称赞的地方，但人们担心这可能会以建立对长期生产力和增长至关重要的制度为代价，”他说。大多数印度人都会同意。

"Ilma, akkomodazzjoni, ikel b'xejn: l-imħatra soċjali ta' $400 biljun ta' Modi biex tirbaħ l-elezzjonijiet Indjani
Balaram Bhallavi u l-familja tiegħu jistgħu finalment ikollhom saqaf xieraq fuq rashom.
Għal snin sħaħ, shanty bil-madum f’raħal imxarrab mix-xemx fl-istat ċentrali ta’ Madhya Pradesh tal-Indja ilha dar għas-Sur Bhallavi, martu, u l-erba’ uliedhom li jmorru l-iskola. Strixxa ta’ foyer bl-art tat-tajn tippakkja fi kċina, ftit siġġijiet tal-plastik, żewġ sodod tal-ħabel u ħwejjeġ li jfarrku.
Wara stennija ta’ tliet snin, il-familja Bhallavi rċeviet 120,000 rupee ($1,445; £1,136) minn programm immexxi mill-gvern tal-Prim Ministru Narendra Modi s-sena l-oħra, li ppermettielhom jibdew jibnu dar ġdida.
Aktar minn 25 miljun dar inbnew mill-2016 taħt il-programm ta' akkomodazzjoni pubblika rurali, imsejjaħ Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Skema tad-Djar tal-Prim Ministru). Hija waħda mill-aktar minn 300 skema federali li s-Sur Modi qed jxaqleb fuqhom biex isaħħaħ l-appoġġ għall-Partit tiegħu Bharatiya Janata (BJP) waqt l-elezzjoni ġenerali hekk kif qed iħares lejn it-tielet mandat ta’ rekord li jkun ugwali għal kulħadd.
""Il-ħajja hija iebsa. Imma jien grat li nikseb flus mill-gvern biex nibni l-ewwel dar tiegħi,"" qal is-Sur Bhallavi, 42 sena.
0:42
Madhya Pradesh: Dar għas-Sur Bhallavi
Wara li tela' fil-poter fl-2014, is-Sur Modi espandiet il-programmi ta' benesseri tal-Indja, b'mod partikolari n-nisa u l-bdiewa. Dan jinkludi l-provvista ta’ gass tat-tisjir, qamħ b’xejn, djar, toilets, ilma bil-pajpijiet, elettriku u kontijiet bankarji, u t-tisħiħ ta’ programm ta’ garanzija tal-impjiegi li ilu jdum.
Bosta benefiċċji – pensjonijiet, sussidji, self u boroż ta’ studju – jingħataw permezz ta’ trasferimenti ta’ flus f’kontijiet bankarji marbuta ma’ karti tal-identità bijometriċi miżmuma minn aktar minn biljun Indjan. Posters ġganti tas-Sur Modi li jippromwovi dawn l-iskemi bħala ""garanziji"" personali tiegħu jiddominaw il-pajsaġġ.
Is-Sur Modi jgħid li l-gvern tiegħu nefaq aktar minn 34 triljun rupee ($ 400 biljun; £ 316 biljun) fl-aħħar għaxar snin, wassal benefiċċji fi flus diretti lil familji bi dħul baxx u laħaq aktar minn 900 miljun ruħ. Handout annwali ta' 6,000 rupee lil aktar minn 110 miljun bidwi jikkostitwixxi wieħed mill-akbar programmi ta' trasferiment ta' flus kontanti fid-dinja. It-trasferimenti, jsostnu l-uffiċjali, naqqsu l-korruzzjoni u naqqsu l-ispejjeż.
L-ekonomista Arvind Subramanian isejjaħ dan is-Sur Modi bħala ""Welfarism Ġdid"", li jiffinanzja oġġetti privati ​​essenzjali bħal toilets, aktar milli jespandi oġġetti pubbliċi bħall-edukazzjoni primarja u l-kura tas-saħħa.
Biex tkun żgur, ""New Welfarism"" tiddistingwi l-mudelli tradizzjonali tal-benessri fl-Ewropa jew fl-Istati Uniti.
Filwaqt li l-Istati Uniti għandhom it-tendenza li jiffavorixxu gvern iżgħar u taxxi aktar baxxi, li jirriżultaw fi trasferimenti soċjali modesti, l-istati soċjali Ewropej kienu aktar ġenerużi. Id-demokraziji soċjali bħal dawk fl-Iskandinavja ppreferew infiq soċjali ogħla, appoġġjat minn taxxi ogħla.
Wara l-indikazzjoni tas-Sur Modi, il-partijiet kollha fl-Indja qabdu dak li Devesh Kapur tal-Università Johns Hopkins isejjaħ il-""virus ta 'trasferimenti ta' flus bi skemi numerużi madwar l-istati u l-partiti politiċi"".
Il-gvernijiet statali tal-pajjiż issa joperaw aktar minn 2,000 programm ta’ trasferiment ta’ flus. ""Kull partit fl-Indja jaf li l-benesseri huwa importanti għall-voti,"" jgħid is-Sur Kapur.

Monika Tithi tuża tliet pensjonijiet separati - bħala bidwi, persuna tat-tribu u mara - biex tmexxi ħanut tal-merċa tar-raħal. Dipali Mondal, armla oħra, tuża l-pensjoni tagħha biex tagħmel u tbigħ snacks fit-triq.
""Meta n-nisa qodma jew romol jiksbu flus, huma aktar rispettati fid-dar tagħhom. Il-pensjonijiet jagħtuhom dinjità,"" qal Choten Dhendup Lama, uffiċjal għoli.

BIMAL THANKACHAN Y Laxmi (it-tieni, fuq ix-xellug) tgħid li fuljett annwali ta’ $180 jgħinha teduka liż-żewġ uliedha (it-tielet u r-raba’, ix-xellug) ITTRATTAT PICTUREBIMAL THANKACHAN
Y Laxmi (bilqiegħda fuq ix-xellug ta’ ommha) tgħid li handout annwali ta’ $180 jgħin biex jeduka liż-żewġ uliedha (it-tielet u r-raba’, ix-xellug)
Mijiet ta’ mili 'l bogħod fil-belt kostali ta' Visakhapatnam fl-istat ta' Andhra Pradesh fin-Nofsinhar tal-Indja, Y Laxmi tpoġġi t-tamiet tagħha fuq il-benesseri biex tiżgura futur isbaħ għal uliedha.
Tgħix maʼ żewġha trux u b’nuqqas taʼ diskors, iż- żewġ uliedhom li jmorru l- iskola, u l- ommha armla. Huma jiddependu fuq handouts li jammontaw għal 6,000 rupee kull xahar, mid-diżabilità ta 'żewġha u l-pensjonijiet tar-romol ta' ommha, biex imexxu d-dar.

Y Laxmi u ommha Y Saraswati jiddependu fuq il-benesseri
Il-gvern tal-istat taħt YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, mexxej tal-Partit tal-Kungress YSR, jiffinanzja aktar minn żewġ tużżani programmi ta 'benessri. Dawn jinkludu għajnuna għal gruppi ta’ self-help tan-nisa, anke ħlasijiet mensili lil pazjenti tal-kliewi għad-dijalisi.
Il-potenzjal li jbiddel il-logħba hija l-iskema Amma Vodi jew Mother's Lap li tipprovdi appoġġ ta' 15,000 rupee fis-sena, li ommijiet bħas-Sinjura Laxmi jiksbu jibagħtu lit-tfal l-iskola. Binha ta’ 17-il sena, Vamsi, jaspira li jmur fl-Istitut Indjan tat-Teknoloġija, l-aqwa skola tal-inġinerija tal-pajjiż.
""Il-flus mill-gvern nisperaw li jgħinu fit-twettiq tal-ħolma tiegħu,"" qalet is-Sinjura Laxmi.

Is-Sur Modi wiret is-sistema tal-benessri tal-Indja - ikel b'xejn, elettriku u sussidji tal-farms, akkomodazzjoni rurali u programm ta 'impjiegi rurali - u għamilha akbar.
Stħarriġ juri li l-votanti jidentifikaw programmi ta’ benesseri mal-partiti fil-gvern, u li n-numru ta’ familji li jirrappurtaw li jużaw fjuwil nadif għat-tisjir, toilets u aċċess tan-nisa għall-kontijiet bankarji żdied minn meta s-Sur Modi ħa l-poter għaxar snin ilu. It-tqassim tar-roti b’xejn lill-bniet li jattendu skejjel u kulleġġi f’diversi stati żied l-aċċess għall-edukazzjoni.
Swastik Pal Mallika Kar (bilqiegħda, fin-nofs) mal-familja tagħha f'Bishnupur, West Bengal. Kar hija armla. Fuq ix-xellug tagħha hemm bintha Manisha Kar u fuq il-lemin tagħha hemm ommha Premlata Dhara. Wieqfa wara hemm il-kunjata tagħha Barnali Dhara u binha, Noel Dhara - studju tal-każ dwar il-benesseri tal-Bengal tal-PunentSwastik Pal
Mallika Kar (quddiem, tan-nofs) u l-familja tagħha fil-Bengal tal-Punent jiksbu għadd kbir ta’ tagħrif
Iżda l-evidenza tal-benesseri li tissarraf f'voti hija aktar imħallta. Ir-rebħiet fl-elezzjonijiet Indjani mhumiex determinati biss minn fattur wieħed - il-kasta, id-demografija u l-identità reliġjuża huma tbassir ewlenin oħra ta 'appoġġ għal partit.
Fl-2019, stħarriġ mill-grupp ta 'votazzjoni Lokniti-CSDS, sab li l-BJP kien ġibed aktar votanti nisa fl-elezzjonijiet ġenerali ta' dik is-sena, minħabba żieda fil-popolarità tas-Sur Modi u l-impatt ta 'skemi ta' benesseri. Madankollu, studju reċenti fil-Bengal tal-Punent ikkonkluda li ""l-ideoloġija u l-politika tal-identità"" qabżu l-kunsiderazzjonijiet tal-benessri fl-ispjegazzjoni tal-popolarità dejjem tikber tal-BJP fl-istat.
Is-sena l-oħra, fost l-allegazzjonijiet dejjem akbar ta’ korruzzjoni, il-BJP tilef l-elezzjonijiet f’Karnataka minkejja għadd kbir ta’ programmi soċjali. F'Andhra Pradesh, stat magħruf għall-mobilità soċjali għolja tiegħu, hemm xettiċiżmu jekk l-inizjattivi tal-welfare waħedhom humiex biżżejjed biex is-Sur Reddy jirbaħ dan is-sajf, minħabba nuqqas ta' impjiegi u infrastruttura fqira. Ħafna jgergru li l-benesseri jimmina l-etika tax-xogħol.
""Il-mexxejja bbenefikaw politikament mill-programmi. Iżda maż-żmien, hemm qligħ li qed jonqos. Il-governanza u affarijiet oħra jibdew jimpurtaw aktar,"" qal is-Sur Subramanian.
Iwissi wkoll kontra l-“populiżmu kompetittiv”, filwaqt li jenfasizza l-piż ta’ wisq skemi ta’ welfare fuq fondi pubbliċi. Id-dejn pubbliku tal-Indja - tal-gvernijiet federali u statali - jaqbeż aktar minn 80% tal-PGD, skont id-dejta tal-IMF. F'Diċembru li għadda, f'rapport, l-IMF indika l-""livelli elevati ta' dejn pubbliku u r-riskji ta' responsabbiltà kontinġenti"" tal-Indja.
""L-istati qed jilagħbu bin-nar,"" qal is-Sur Subramanian. ""Dawn l-iskemi saru drittijiet permanenti. Ma nafx kif se jispiċċa dan.""
Il-ġurija għadha għaddejja dwar jekk ‘New Welfarism’ hux qed iweġġa’ lit-teżor. U l-esperti jwissu wkoll li dawn l-iskemi mhumiex biżżejjed biex in-nies joħorġu mill-faqar; investimenti fil-kura tas-saħħa u l-edukazzjoni huma essenzjali wkoll.
Imbagħad hemm slippages fil-programmi tant hyped. F’Visakhapatnam, minkejja li rċeviet għadd kbir ta’ handouts, il-familja tas-Sinjura Laxmi tonfoq fortuna biex tixtri l-ilma tax-xorb minħabba n-nuqqas ta’ konnessjoni tal-ilma, u tmur fl-appartament ta’ ġar biex tuża t-tojlit għax m’għandhom l-ebda.
Ukoll, l-inflazzjoni u t-tnaqqis fid-dħul jistgħu spiss ifissru li l-benesseri għandu l-limiti tiegħu. Is-Sur Bhallavi, li kiseb handout biex jibni d-dar tiegħu f’Madhya Pradesh, jaqla’ 500 rupee kuljum jagħmel djar tal-briks. Minkejja li jkollok razzett, it-temp strambi u l-prezzijiet għoljin tal-fertilizzanti għamlu l-biedja mhux vijabbli.
Huwa qal li jeħtieġ ukoll li jżid l-idejn tad-djar u jissellef 80,000 rupee addizzjonali b'rata annwali ta '12% mingħand min jislef il-flus tar-raħal biex jibni d-dar tiegħu, u enfasizza l-isfida kontinwa ta' aċċess għal kreditu formali affordabbli.
Bimal Thankachan Lakhpati Bai Bhallabi - Madhya PradeshBimal Thankachan
Lakhpati Bai ma tistax taffordja li terġa 'timla l-gass tat-tisjir, tiddependi fuq il-fuklar antik tagħha tat-tafal għat-tisjir f'Madhya Pradesh
Martu, Lakhpati Bai, qalet li minkejja li gawdew minn gass tat-tisjir issussidjat għal sentejn, qed ibatu biex jerġgħu jimlew iċ-ċilindru ħieles tagħhom minħabba l-prezzijiet tal-gass li qed jogħlew. ""Aħna nagħmlu ħafna mit-tisjir tagħna fuq il-fuklar tat-tafal,"" qalet.
Fl-2022, il-Ministru tal-Intern tal-Indja Amit Shah iddefenda l-approċċ tal-gvern tiegħu għall-benesseri.
""Aħna tajna konnessjonijiet tal-gass, konnessjonijiet tad-dawl u huma [in-nies] li jħallsu l-kontijiet tagħhom. Għamilna toilets għalihom iżda jridu jżommuhom... Dak li għamilna kien li nipprovdu għajnuna biex jaġġornaw ħajjithom - dan hija s-setgħa,” qal is-Sur Shah lill-gazzetta The Indian Express.
L-Indja tonfoq inqas minn 1% tal-PGD tagħha fuq is-saħħa, u l-infiq fuq l-edukazzjoni tnaqqas. L-estensjoni tal-programm tal-qamħ b'xejn għal aktar minn 800 miljun ruħ sal-2028 jindika wkoll ekonomija rurali li qed tissara. Is-Sur Kapur jemmen li t-trasferimenti tal-flus ""saru soluzzjoni faċli għal żmien qasir u soluzzjonijiet aktar diffiċli fit-tul bħall-investiment adegwat fl-agrikoltura, l-edukazzjoni u l-kura tas-saħħa qed jiġu traskurati"".
""Dak kollu jeħtieġ bini ta 'istituzzjonijiet, li huwa slog iebes. Allura filwaqt li hemm ħafna li huwa ta' min ifaħħar dwar il-Welfarism Ġdid, wieħed jinkwieta li jista 'jkun għall-ispiża tal-bini ta' sistemi li huma importanti għall-produttività u t-tkabbir fit-tul, ""huwa. qal. Ħafna Indjani jaqblu.

Hey Steven, I've been working up the BL progressions, would appreciate a form check on my straddle back lever: https://photos.app.goo.gl/vjSHzJLrbYQ6Xve69
I reached here using tuck GH pullouts-> adv tuck GH pullouts-> straddle lower to German hang negatives, currently at 3x3 5s negatives, I wonder if I can just work these up, or if I should just work on the isometrics? My goal is the full BL for about 10 seconds or so, mainly since I want to start crossing off some of the pre reqs for the iron cross.
I've also transitioned out of a full body into in upper lower split, even though I'm not at the intermediate stages in the chart yet, Ive noticed you mentioned your general recommendations are for someone who's 5'9 or so, and 150-160 lbs? There's also a section in Og2 where you mentioned that a full body 3x a week was too intense for one of the athletes that was 215 lbs and was running a push/pull split.
I'm 6 feet and 182lbs, and I've definitely started noticing that my elbows and biceps just feel beat up on 3 days a week of back lever work, so there was a lot of backing off on BL and doing prehab, it's been much better since I've moved to an upper lower split where I'm only doing BL work 2x a week
