“But there’s a reason. There’s a reason. There’s a reason for this, there’s a reason education sucks, and it’s the same reason that it will never, ever, ever be fixed. It’s never gonna get any better. Don’t look for it. Be happy with what you got. Because the owners of this country don't want that. I'm talking about the real owners now, the real owners, the big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought and paid for, they own all the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I'll tell you what they don’t want: They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. Thats against their interests. Thats right. They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table to figure out how badly they’re getting f****d by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago. They don’t want that. You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it. They want your retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends, and you know something? They’ll get it. They’ll get it all from you, sooner or later, 'cause they own this fucking place. It's a big club, and you ain’t in it. You and I are not in the big club. And by the way, it's the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head in their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table is tilted folks. The game is rigged, and nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. Good honest hard-working people -- white collar, blue collar, it doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on -- good honest hard-working people continue -- these are people of modest means -- continue to elect these rich candysuckers who don’t give a fuck about them. They don’t give a f**k about you. They don’t give a f**k about you. They don't care about you at all -- at all -- at all. And nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. That's what the owners count on; the fact that people will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue candy that's being jammed up their mouth everyday. Because the owners of this country know the truth: it's called the Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it. “

I’m conducting a short, anonymous survey to understand the everyday problems people in Nepal actually face. It takes 3–4 minutes.
Your honest experience would be very helpful: here

I’ve never seen her debate a single bill in parliament; she only speaks during Zero Hour. She seems to lack a clear opinion on actual legislation, which is her primary duty as an MP. Instead of demonstrating a grasp of parliamentary procedure and the law, she frequently loses her temper and acts as if legislative and executive work is no different from street activism

1. Profits can go out of the country

Foreign companies may invest money in Nepal, but later they can take a large share of profits back to their own country. That means Nepal may not keep as much long-term benefit as people expect.

2. Local businesses can suffer

Big foreign companies often have more money, better technology, and stronger marketing. Small Nepali businesses may find it hard to compete and can lose customers.

3. Too much foreign control

If Nepal depends heavily on foreign investors, important sectors like banking, telecom, energy, or mining may become influenced by outside interests instead of national priorities.

4. Unequal benefits

FDI sometimes helps urban areas and rich groups more than poor communities. So the gains may not be shared fairly across the country.

5. Environmental and social risks

Some foreign projects can damage land, water, forests, or local communities if the government does not enforce rules properly.
