Grocery delivery and meme game

this week in Pakistan’s business and economics twitterverse

This week there seemed to be a lot of talk about grocery delivery and how the so-called disruptions aren’t disruptions as much as they are old ideas with some water sprinkled on them to make them fresh. We also look at some top notch memes, jokes about fractions, and the joke that is “ Digital ” Pakistan. Ariba Shahid brings you all this and more in this week’s social media roundup

Fawad Chaudry hates being called a boomer but sometimes he does act like one. While Crypto and CBDC are different, the very fact that the SBP is looking into CBDCs should make the ministry also mul over crypto.

Another boomer Meme game on point

The meme in this tweet makes it to our roundup because we’re definitely in awe of @2paisay’s meme game. On that note we also wonder what he does for a living especially considering his witty humor regarding boring old macroeconomic developments.

Some jokes just write themselves. Digital Pakistan is the joke that keeps giving, again and again and again. I mean, if we look at all our social media round ups Digital Pakistan is probably the thing we’ve made fun of the most. Make up your mind. Do you want to be digital or be archaic? It’s that simple. Then again, how can one not expect these taxes, we’re also a country that charges withholding taxes on the fees payable at educational institutions. I don’t know, tax extravagant weddings, clothes, cars- basically everything other than the fees students pay and of course laptops at the very least?

Not so funny funnies

The Ghost of Sparta seems to have a talent for dialogue writing. Maybe in another life this guy is not someone that works in the soul dead financial sector and probably has an artist within him. However, it’s sad that monetary “setting” developments are his inspiration to bring out this artistic side.

Mom is kinda right

We feel our readers at Profit are ones that will appreciate this humor about fractions. Especially considering they probably spend their whole day looking and calculating percentages.

{Editor’s note: Profit bears no responsibility for whether the jokes it’s journalists share are funny or not. It is their personal opinion entirely.} When I told my mom we could vegetables through an app within 20 mins, she said we can get them from the thela wala also with the added benefit of being able to haggle. I then told her she could get milk, tea leaves, and masalas the same way and she said the general store guy sends a shop assistant to deliver things over a phone call. Apparently she didn’t buy the “disruption”. While I’m not trying to downplay ecommerce, my mom did have a point.

Ending the pandemic

The key word here is equity and not equality. The pandemic ending is good for everyone, all countries. Some just need more help than others.
