If you have drug addiction what does doctor recommends

a) 100% ban on drug
b) or Take few sips of drug instead of full dosage ?

No Doctors says 100% ban , you strap yourself to bed and don't get drugs
That is what Pakistan's import /export body needs to do

100% BAN on certain questionable categories of items

** No one will loose their life if these items are banned immediate effect for 12
months 15-18 Billion we will safe will balance our state bank reserve and rupee

Why can't we grow our own tea?

We can grow tea and China tried to show us how but gave up bc literally "it was too much work".

The problem in Pakistan is not that we have fancy tastes .But that people r lazy. Poor people beg or bother relatives overseas and expect them to susbidize a middle class lifestyle. And the middle class live like we r in Victorian England. Housewives have three servants to do different things. Drivers are common. Lastly they tolerate so much shit instead of rioting. Like how on Earth is it normal for public school teachers to not teach anything in the school then everyone pays those same teachers in an "academy" afterwards. Anywhere else u would have huge protests.

Ban Automobile Import------------------------------: Save 2.6 Billion Dollars

cant do this. local companies are crap, they are already ripping people off. until the industry is regulated, this must not be done. btw it includes certain automotive parts not being made in pakistan, like electronics and some engine parts.

12 Month ban on sale of new car will not , cripple Pakistan

• Main Issue is stabilization of National Reserves , Dollar figures in State Bank of Pakistan
• The 2.6 Billion will remain in State Bank

For short term the impact would be local demand of second hand car sales will spike
and may be demand for car parts will rise for repairs on used cars , these parts are made inside Pakistan. This is actually good for local Parts manufacturing companies

If Engine/Transmission dies and their is no replacement the person will just have to take Bus like every one else.

Government can introduce Government Sponsored Buses in city to start to take the load to reduce impact

Users will start to value the Metro Bus projects more when that will happen and buy a Monthly Bus Pass to go to work and office or school

Reducing Petrol Cost by 50%
For fuel it is simple what uses more Petrol

Hypothetical 1 City of Pakistan
200,000 Motor bikes per city
or
500 Buses double Decker buses


Typical Motor Bike Capacity = 13.5 litres
Bus fuel capacity = 600 litres


Fuel Consumption in 1 city 200,000 bikes = 2.7 Million litres of Fuel
Fuel Consumption in 1 city 600 buses = 300,000 Litres of fuel


If we ban motor bikes across 20 cities of Pakistan and replace them with Buses
automatically we will reduce fuel consumption by 35-50%


If same ratios are maintained for 20 Cities of Pakistan

Motorbikes fuel consumption 20 cities of Pakistan = 54,000,000 Million Litres of fuel
Bus fuel consumption in 20 cities of Pakistan = 6,000,000 Million Litres of fuel


54,000,000 > 6,000,000

89% More fuel consumption in Motor Bike economy vs a Bus Transit economy
