. It is entirely another topic that at least in a few countries, politicians are more than interested in the running of cricket bodies.

I agree that first class (domestic) cricket is mostly played in 4-day format. But some of the boards such as ECB has recently reduced the number of 4-day matches in their competitions, and increased the number of limited overs matches instead. The BCCI is also going in this direction. During the COVID times, they cancelled the 4-day competition, but kept the limited overs leagues running. For the players also, this is some sort of a relief. Especially for those who need to manage full-time job with cricketing commitments, 4-day is not very suitable.

I'd like to address this idea that having a business is generally better than having a job because with a business you're the boss. It is true, of course, but it doesn't end there. I've known a lot of people who failed or burnt out or simply didn't survive in their business ventures even if they really don't want to work for somebody else.

Having your own business means a lot of commitment, determinations, passion, responsibilities, and so on. If you're really not into it, don't even start it. If you're not willing to make sacrifices, I don't think you'd last. If you didn't last even for a year with your dream job, you really need to seriously ponder on having a business of your own. You know, if you didn't survive with the kind of job that you thought would make you happy and you thought you could live with for the rest of your life, you need to really discover that ideal business.

Every individual on earth has two major desires: power and money. Everyone aspires to be both wealthy and powerful. Making a decision is difficult since you need money to acquire power and power to maintain your money. Evidently, having power is essential since it allows you to exert control over various areas, including the economy. But you can only influence people in your immediate area if you have money. You can empower, employ, and build relationships with individuals when you have power. Power is crucial since it always contributes to character development. Abraham Lincoln says, if you want to know man's character give him power. Power gives you the ability to know a good leader.

The market really need something that can provide storage solution dilemma and we dont have much projects that are targeting this side.

Power and money are two of the most potent forces in the world, but if I had to choose, I would choose power because people value power more than money, and they respect those who possess it. For instance, take Queen Elizabeth as an example. When she passed away, all of England showed her respect by stopping certain activities, including their love of football. However, I don't think they would do the same for the country's richest man.

Money can't be enough for humans. Our search for wealth and needs is numerous. Everyone wants to get the best cars, and buildings, and to have a luxurious life. All that requires enough money to sustain. You can't be spending money living the best of your life, without trying to make more money to facilitate the good life you are living.

Actually, the exit from a bank loan is what the OP is all about about, and what this thread is about. This is for the USA. Other countries will do it other ways.

When did you exit your bank loan? When you prepaid it off, by signing the promissory note before you got the money. The whole loan, and its repayment, was essentially finished at this time. You gave the bank some money (your signed promissory note) and they gave you some money in return (cash or a bank check).

If you make a payment next month, you are telling the bank that you owe them... which you don't. But since you said you do, you do. After all, what can they do? They have to - and want to - believe you when you say that you owe them some money and interest.

I mean, if your next-door neighbor buddy comes over to you in your back yard and says, "I owe you $100,000," and he doesn't really owe it to you, what are you going to do? You will, as his friend, tell him he doesn't owe you the money. But if he insists, all you can do is accept the payments he makes, right? Of course, keep this free money available to return to him for a time when he recognizes his mistake.

Since the banks have told you all this through their money pamphlets, "Modern Money Mechanics" and "Two Faces of Debt," what else can they do when you start to give them free money for nothing? They simply accept it.

Again, search on "Tom Schauf, bank freedom," in various search engines, and figure out how to get yourself free from your mistake of thinking you owe the bank anything following your promissory note payment.

Iranians and Venezuelans are soon to become good guys too

The thing that most people don't understand is what this Ukraine war is all about. Under the whole thing, this war is a fight to the death between two money systems... the debt backed money system of the US and Europe, and the value backed money system of Russia and much of the rest of the world.

The government and banks of the US tricked the people of the US into financing the banks, without even realizing what they (the people) were doing. Most elected US government people don't even recognize it. Even Ron Paul, who for years was on some money committee in the US Federal government, and who speaks out against the Federal Reserve Bank in books that he has written, never speaks out about the real way the US people have financed the banks.

I don't really know if he understands or not, or if he realizes that if people understood how the banks have screwed them over royally, there would be such a big revolt among the people, that it might destroy the US.

Anybody who supports the US, Nato, and the Ukraine, is really supporting a financial system that is screwing the world. The whole US banking system is like a big fat Ponzi scheme.

Are you even talking to me? Didn't I just tell you that anything of value that can be traded is money? So, what are you really talking about?

Do not forget the government are individual persons who make decisions for many people.
Even with all these we are seeing everyday war after war. Country fighting another country, we need to know that all these things are as a result of hatred or disagreement which had lead to conflict and war between nations.

I am not in favor of prostitution; I am against it. However...

We could all avoid a lot of interference by government in money affairs if we simply did this. Set up a trust or corporation or LLC to own our money. We ourselves would be the controller or trustee or president. We would have wording in the 'entity' which gave us the ability to transfer the control to someone else. Simply transfer the control to somebody else when we want to buy something.

The artificial entity still has the money; there was no exchange of money for anything. Since the 'entity' is considered to be a person by government, there isn't any personal tax to it for exchanging money. And, there isn't any regulation for doing nothing.

Many rich people use this method all the time to avoid taxation legally. This shows that power is greater than money.

IDK about all that other stuff, but the scam to me is that the bank is loaning me other people's money. If we go 80/20 in a house for instance, the bank is only putting up part of that 80 because of leverage. So it's using fake money, and you put down real money. But, if you default, they keep the house. Such a strange system, but these days houses are so expensive you don't really have a choice.

You have enough money when you say you have had enough money there is no fixed point, the decision is yours to make. This is why you still see billionaires who have seen enough money in their life still keep going and working to get more because they have not decided that the money they have seen is enough. The question then should become, how much money have you decided is enough money for you?

I want power. Both of them are just similar, but I will go for power because with power you can command and get money, but sometimes even with your money, you may not be able to have the power, especially if the power you are seeking for are with other powerful people who may not be able to release it.
A statement says power corrupts but absolute power corrupts absolutely. Also money does the same thing . But it is better you have both power and money in moderation.

To understand what is happening regarding corruption, we need to first understand what corruption is.

The greatest form of corruption is to not love God above all things... and the second is to not love other people. Corruption is in all of us. But, as bad as things might look, it is being corrected by God.

Let corruption be gradually corrected in yourself. Continually seek God and what He is all about... while at the same time, helping other people.

Note that it isn't only Russia. The Ukraine is made up of people from the same basic location as Russia. They are the same kind of people.

Also note that the fact that the US is behind the Ukraine push shows that there are power-people all over the place. Britain and the Papacy are a couple of big ones, and the Federal Reserve Bank (in the US) is the same.

Thousands of Russians cross the Georgian border so as not to howl in Ukraine. However, many of them supported Putin for the annexation of Crimea. Georgia is at great risk if these Russians stay in Georgia. If a situation similar to the Ukrainian one happens, then they will all support the Russian invasion of Georgia.
