We are not all wealthy pensioners. The majority of pensioners have their state pension and a small private pension that takes them over the threshold to claim pension credit. Most of these MPs and presenters are very well paid and seem to forget the majority of pensioners are struggling. Reinstate the Winter Fuel Payment for all pensioners. It is disgusting that MPs and economic migrants get free heating whilst pensioners get the cold shoulder. You are told to save for your old age and when you do the government punish you. I am not of state pension age yet because the government moved the goalposts. Why does the government appear to begrudge the pensioners a retirement.We have money for Net zero, wars, foreign aid but nothing for farmers and pensioners. This country is a disgrace.
we pay huge amount of tax during our working lifewhilst we plan and save for our retirement, only to get taxed again on our savings and pension. It is time for this to stop and to at least reward those who save and plan with no tax on our pensions, If this does not happen then, why bother to save at all?
I'm 72 and a widower. I have a small annuity that as from the last pension increase is now being taxed, after the next pension increase it will probably all go in tax! Unfortunately being an annuity I can't "cash it in" so the Government will benefit from me trying to safeguard my old age!
I have personally benefited from ASTA’s training. ASTA's programs focused strictly on education — teaching me how to analyze markets, manage risk, and build discipline. At no point did I receive stock tips or advice on what to buy or sell. I support this petition because mistaking educational training for investment advisory could unfairly restrict access to legitimate trader education. I respectfully urge SEBI to acknowledge the difference and support quality financial literacy for retail traders. Empowering retail traders with disciplined, independent decision-making skills strengthens the market ecosystem. A clear regulatory distinction will help genuine educators continue contributing to financial literacy in India.
if openAI really does purchase pinterest, i’ll be leaving the app with no hesitation. i’ve been on pinterest for almost 8 years, and i consider it my safe side of the internet. pinterest holds a special place in all our hearts, because it’s real. it’s real people sharing real photos and gathering new ideas. it’s inspiring and community-based. i’ve already report and hide any generative AI photos that come up on my feed, because there is no reason for such slop to even be posted. if this app is stripped of it’s authenticity and is forced to be another soulless app with no real depth because it’s all intertwined with AI features and AI posts, i may as well switch back to tumblr and flickr. good riddance.
I have been using Pinterest since I was probably 12 years old. For years I have carefully curated boards with photos of my own, and others for inspiration or ideas. I have a recipe board, a craft board, the point is I use this every day to collate ideas from the world and inspire myself to be creative and organise my life! It’s such a great place to browse without rotting your brain and it’s customised to each user. You can personalise your Home Screen and it’s so great because Pinterest is what it is because of all the users that create things to publish on it. Sure maybe OpenAI will plan not to change the way it works, but we don’t want them to have access to our data. We don’t want them to allow the infiltration of mass amounts of Ai generated content on here. Pinterest is supposed to be a network of human creativity and design. Somewhere where you can search a wonderful brain full of people’s photos, recipes, art, etc. WE DO NOT WANT OPEN AI ANYWHERE NEAR IT
