मक्खन / Butter – Kaushal Kishore

बॉस या किसी व्यक्ति को मक्खन लगाने का काम,
है जिंदगी के लगभग हर एक दायरे में बहुत आम…
लेकिन ऐसी झूठी चापलूसी से खुश हो जाने वाले,
याद रखें: रखते हैं एक चाकू मक्खन लगाने वाले…
🧈 🧈 🧈 🧈 🧈 🧈
Buttering up the boss or someone with flair,
Is quite common in life, almost everywhere…
But those who revel in sweet praise so rife,
Must remember: butter is spread with a knife…

When Trump says he’s going to ‘protect’ women, we know he means ‘control’ | Arwa Mahdawi | The Guardian
Could Republicans take away a woman’s right to a credit card?
“Hello, I’d like a line of credit, please.”
“Well, before we can even consider that, are you married? Are you taking a contraceptive pill? And can your husband co-sign all the paperwork so we know you have a man’s permission?”
That may not be an exact rendition of an actual conversation between a woman and a US bank manager in 1970, but it’s close enough. Before the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) was passed in 1974, it was considered good business practice for banks to discriminate against women. It didn’t matter how much money she had – a woman applying for a credit card or loan could expect to be asked invasive questions by a lender and told she needed a male co-signer before getting credit. All of which severely limited a woman’s ability to build a business, buy a house or leave an abusive relationship.
…Is there any chance that, if Donald Trump gets into power again, we might see Republicans take away a woman’s right to her own credit card? It’s certainly not impossible. Trump’s entire campaign is, after all, about taking America back. The former president has also cast himself as a paternalistic protector of women.
“I’m going to do it, whether the women like it or not,” Trump said at a rally on Wednesday. “I’m going to protect them.”
Of course, we all know what “protect” really means in this context: it means “control”. Should he become president again, Trump and his allies seem intent on massively expanding the power of the president and eliminating hard-won freedoms. Conservative lawmakers and influencers want to control a woman’s access to reproductive healthcare. They want to control the sorts of books that get read and the type of history that gets taught. They want to control how women vote. They want to control whether a woman can get a no-fault divorce. They might not take away women’s access to credit, but they will almost certainly try to chip away at a woman’s path to financial independence.
