Joe-metric View
Добавлен 28 мар 2020
Alternate views, plurality of opinion.
I've been a journalist for four decades (hit that milestone in October 2024 😊). A good part of that journey has been in the enlivening atmosphere of The Economic Times. Worked in Kochi, Mumbai, Coimbatore, Thiruvananthapuram and Chennai through these years.
The Joe-metric View channel idea was triggered when a roughly century-old mango at home came crashing down on a March day in 2020, crushing small and big trees under its trunk, branches and foliage.
That prompted a video on how the rampaging Covid-19 was impacting different sectors just like the fallen mango did to the vegetation underneath.
That vlogging journey continues, past the fourth year milestone in March 2024.

How Kerala beats Delhi, doing nothing! | #delhi #pollution #kerala
Kerala's trade unions are traditionally blamed for two things: that their aggressive methods drove away people and drove away industries.
Take a closer look and they may actually be darlings (tongue firmly in cheek 😊).
When Keralites went outside en masse they created a global Kerala diaspora that in turn sent copious amounts of foreign remittance into the state. In 2023-24, foreign remittance into Kerala is estimated at Rs 2.16 trillion. That is Rs 61,000 per capita for Kerala's 35m population.
When industries were driven out, it ensured clear skies and fresh air. Today while an industrialised region like Delhi-NCR is caught in a gas chamber, Kerala breathes easy.

Where have all the Keralites gone? To every part of the globe. How have they been doing? Pretty well, one must assume. The old joke is about Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin finding a Malayali tea shop on the moon. The new reality is that Keralites are extending their presence across the world. In the 1960s and 1970s, Keralites were migrating to Persia and Malaysia. In the 1980s and 1990s the gr...

everyone with brain knows it. communist and congress vote bank is muslim whose demand is not devlopment but a religious state for islam. so if congress focus on them, they dont have to do anything but give a false word secularism to appease and do nothing. 2nd they keep industry out and educate genral class more so they go out and bring money. win-win situation and it will not change for many years.
Tamilnadu villages are still buried in caste n fuedal system .. 😂 the higher caste r doing well but down the system all under poverty
I liked the last sarcasm.. Probably making reels, is one job opportunity that will be available irrespective of the government of the day.
😊
Most malayalee people are very lazy .when they stay in kerala...once the malayalee people go out of kerala. They work hard. And alot of malayalee people work hard outside kerala. But gradually gulf county jobs are also going down in kerala
Did you know that Kerala’s ground water is the most polluted ground water in India. You might like to check out this information.
It is idiotic to say the least to think that heavy industries are not flourishing in Kerala due to trade unions. Manufacturing industry and even service industries will for sure go to places where they will get cheap labour land and energy. Kerala is one of the highest population density regions in india. It is a stretch of land between sea and mountains which geographically unsustainable for heavy manufacturing Salary of manual labourers are highest in India. Trade unions started in USA a century back along with industrial growth. Trade unions will be more if industries flourish. It’s a world wide phenomenon. That is trade unions are not a product or an idea of communism but it is very much an idea ingrained within free market economy. So dear ammavan it is time for you to shut up . Get a life
This is a theory I've kept talking about since many years. Kerala is the Germany of India minus technology and infrastructure development.
Interesting thought
You don’t know anything about either Kerala or Delhi. Delhi’s pollution is mostly due to stubble burning in Punjab and Haryana rather than any industry. Farmers in Kerala are educated enough to turn their stubble into Hay and sell it to make money.
Here the politicians, bureaucrats, government staff,trade unions do nothing at all for ages. Their brains are frozen since ages. Union workers sleep and wake when there is nokkukuli(see wages) the first if its kind in the world 😂
'Frozen' 😊
Congratulations to the Communist govts and their never ending list of unions.
😊 The Congress unions, too
@@joe-metricview6035 Sir, IMO, though Congress too hasn't been that great in Kerala, we cannot compare the damage done by the two parties. Even when Congress was in power and wanted to do something, it was the Communists who would be ready there with black flags, depriving the general public of any job opportunities. I know that Kerala's geographical landscape doesn't allow it to have too many industries, but whatever could have been done was put down by the communists alone.
Humorous but reality.
Thank you
🎉 well said...The other rosy side of the trade unions 😅..
Thank you 😊
Kerala model.Dont cook in owns home.Rob it from the neighbours
Kerala will soon become a failed state taken over by outsiders. ALL the youth have to leave the state to find jobs. Kerala has the most educated and entrepreneurial people but they have NO home. It is a real shame
Or rather, the world is their home?
You should try standup 🤣🤣🤣👌👌👌
Appreciate that 😊 Thank you
This guy is more anti Kerala than Modi. I never heard anything good about Kerala from him. It is ok to criticize, but don't make it a career.
True that. Just another 'marunadan ' with a vocab.
Kerala is lucky to have the Arabian Sea as its neighbor to the West, eh? Nothing to do with Commies and Tree Huggers.
Well, the Kerala remittance story could become a false hope in future. The real story is the non resident Malayali's contribution to their place of domicile, only small change trickle to their home state. Industrial Pollution, even if it was there, is not much of a bother in a peninsular monsoon land. Anyway, the clip had the usual flair of good presentation....😊.
Thank you for the appreciation and comments 😊
Now there is another Malayalee who is a tourist, he spends money travelling out of the state or abroad quite regularly.....😊. @@joe-metricview6035
Good observation. At one time Switzerland had one of the highest GDPs by merely doing three things right - manufacturing top quality wrist watches, making delectable chocolates and attracting ill gotten wealth from the rest of the world to their banks !!! You really dont have to be a jack of all trades to succeed. While working in Mumbai in the eighties, our friends from other states used to pull our legs with this joke - Question: Name the three Ns that Kerala exports? Answer: Nariyal ( Coconut), Nurses and Nairs 😂
Interesting points about the Swiss and Kerala's three exports 😊 Thank you

Thank you for the counterpoint
Namaskaram, Shri Scariaji It was said that remittances to Kerala would drop now that Keralites are migrating to USA, UK etc where they are being given permanent residency unlike Gulf. How is that the remittances are still rising ? Can you kindly clarify? Regards, Sumal S
Pertinent question, Sumal. All indications are that remittance should fall, given that people are now migrating for good, even taking their parents along and selling assets in India. However, this is yet to happen though it cannot be ruled out. The Indian rupee's consistent decline has also led to a rise in remittance in rupee terms. Most surprising is how remittance swelled even during the Covid years.
So, what about a travel advisory ?
Why not?
. Fantastic presentation ,You did a great job.
Thank you ❤️
The caption of your video is superb. As usual, you were blunt and conveyed a strong message. Beautiful.🎉

Green Trade Unions 🌲🌳🌴- "The Champions of Environment, the real Captain Planet"! 😂🌍🌎🌏
Well said 😊
Trade unions only sleep with sleep wages. Most of their bums and stomach are fused
Here's a suggestion- isnt it better to stick to lakhs/crores for INR and millions and dollars for USD/ international currencies? Millions/Trillions of rupees would only confuse Indian audience - if they actually try to put them in perspective. Or alternatively keep both - crores in brackets
That's a valid point. I too have been juggling it in my mind. Decided to stick to million/trillion keeping the international audience in mind. Appreciate your suggestion
Super hype fellow...what about other linguist group....
Wonderful presentation, as usual. I am a Keralite, living in TN. This extremist behaviour of Keralites will soon end, because we can't expect remittance for ever. Compare with TN which is more progressed than K..without any of the extreme behaviour of K.. and many more.
Thank you for commenting
Progressed? Dude, they still treat Dalits worse than animals in South Tamilnadu and even do North-Indian style honor killings.They are 50 years behind Kerala socially and thats just Tamilnadu.
Sarcasm 🙄?
Mostly
Kerala is the masters of brilliant people and Pareto law..Not doing many things..just doing the right things..I support trade unions for this matter..keep away all the industrial construction from kerala and bring many more trillions of remittance so that we can live peacefully in gods own country❤️💥💪🙏
Thank you 😊
Then how can you live in Kerala? With no job opportunity! Trade unions will not allow any industry or business to come up! So how will you live in Kerala?
Hats off to you sir, for the constructive sarcasm !!
Thank you, Sankar Ramamurthy
Air quality is not good but moderate in Kerala cities so maybe not all that clean as is claimed.
You have a point 👍
Yes, relatively speaking compared to the amount industrialisation we have, the AQI should he way better. Thanks to our obsession with card and lack of good public transport infra.
Humourous, new idea
😊 Thank you
Dude, what's your point??!!
Just give 5 Cr. to every family from the CMDRF, and they will pick up their lives and carry on their own.
They would have been happy with even a tenth of that. Instead, they've been turned into beggars, seeking daily pittance from government officials.
5 cr?
Well said Sir! Of course Politics is the larger Catastrophe! It is indeed worthwhile to remember the saying “Politics is the last refuge of the Scoundrel”
Earlier the citizens realise this the better. Leaders are also man-made!
@@joe-metricview6035 leaders are man made?? Do common people have options????
Political issues cause more harm than natural disasters
Citizens beware about that!
