HELP!!
We are going to the world cup match tomorrow and thought we could just uber up.
Turns out uber drops way further.
Is there a way I can drop my wife close to gate B? She has an MCL tear and can't walk much.
Can I drop her at the Walmart and go park somewhere?
Background
Dad – Retired; supports BJP.
Unfortunately, his entire social circle consists of BJP fanatics, and he has been influenced by them. He supports everything from delimitation to NEET and the NEP. He also wants a liquor-free Tamil Nadu.
Reasoning: He cites that inflation has been significantly lower compared to the Congress era, despite multiple global crises. He also points to the stock market performing better under BJP rule and improvements in infrastructure development.
I cited Tamil Nadu’s growth rate exceeding other states and its high literacy rate. His response is essentially that Congress will not return to power at the Center anytime soon and that TN has been on the receiving end of disadvantages because it has no power share. He believes if a state like UP can have 9% growth, TN would do even better under the BJP.
Mom – Homemaker; supports TVK.
Reasoning: She dislikes both the DMK and AIADMK and wants a change. However, the real reason is that she likes Vijay. When I asked why not NTK, her answer was simply, "I never liked Seeman and have always liked Vijay."
Sister – Supports NTK.
Despite working in IT, she is a socialist. To her, NTK’s socialist schemes are attractive, and she hates "freebie culture."
Reasoning: When I queried who would pay for those schemes—especially since his policies are anti-industrial development—her reply was essentially anarchist. She believes that even if everything collapses, it is still for the best, as she feels the entire system needs an overhaul.
Me – DMK.
Reasoning: TN has the best growth rate in India, and a continuation of this government will accelerate that growth. I am against delimitation and the NEP. Our education system and leadership have proven steady growth despite the Center being in opposition.
Accusations against DMK from my family: They cite corruption, "votes for money," and freebies. These are all valid criticisms, and my answer is that they are the "best of the worst." Statistically speaking, DMK has performed well macro economically. I believe BJP policies will cause more issues than benefits for TN.
Current Situation (Probable DMK-AIADMK Power Share)
Dad hates it because he voted for the BJP and against the DMK.
Mom hates it because she feels Vijay is being robbed.
Sister hates it because it affirms her ideology that the system is broken.
I hate it because split CM posts mean we no longer have consistent, continuous governance. Not to mention, this will further cause repercussions in the following elections.
