Can’t the government see all this? What is even worse is that we know they can see it and understand it just fine. Yet they choose to ignore it which is even worse. It shows some sort of ‘lain dain’ going on.

They were very active in the case of MG. What about the rest? Can’t they ask any type of questions or is the whole bureaucracy in the hands of PAMA? Are they the ones who dictate/decided everything?

This situation is like a house of cards. It will fall someday. The companies, the scalpers, they are all in on it. Someday it will all come crashing down. The worse part is, when that happens, the ones who will suffer, as usual, will be the people. When such things happen, people will lose a lot of money, that means a whole sector of the economy will be in a very bad way. That will mean a lot of lots jobs due to fall in car demand or business closures etc. Again, the awam, who mostly are not even the car buyers, will end up in the firing line.

Read up on the financial crisis of 2008. The going rhetoric is that “no one saw it coming”. The sad fact is, a lot of people saw what was going on and gave a lot of warnings. The banks and the mortgage companies just refused to listen. And the government refused to listen to anyone else because those same companies had the government convinced they were riding the gravy train to profit town and the ride will never stop. Well we all know what happened, the unstoppable greed/gravy train met the immovable (reality) wall. It all came crashing down. The world paid for it. Well, the same is happening here. Greed is over powering all other considerations.

Its like a ticking time bomb. Its a scary scenario, and I hope someone in the leadership does wake up to the reality before it really damages our already very compromised economy.

Works both ways…

In this market you can’t get your cake in peace because of own money or wait times or price fluctuations or price increases during delivery delays. The problems are endless. Any way you look at it, there is no peace in getting your “cake”.

In the same vain, you can’t have your piece of cake with out all the problems I have listed above. Its very problematic.

You just can’t have a piece in peace. 🤣

Piece of cake?
Or you deliberately played on words?

However, in my view as long as there is a demand for a service it cannot be ended because
buyers are reaching out for it, if the buyers avoid choosing it, it is going to die on its own. We all know that there are people who instead of waiting for their turn for getting a car rather pay on, until and unless takers of on services exist no matter how small in numbers that part of industry cannot die.
As for transactions not being realised, well since doing cash transactions has become difficult now therefore banks, F.B.R., auditors, S.E.C.P. and other regulators are bigger thieves. Why they are not doing the job they are supposed to be doing. They should be raising questions over such transactions but they don’t because in my view it is drilling down to one fact, ethics is running away from Pakistani society engaged in doing worldly actions and they are now resorting to unusual
methods for minting money.
