Signs and Their Spending Habits During Economic Plot Twists

Signs and Their Spending Habits During Economic Plot Twists

Time of India05-05-2025
When the economy does the cha-cha slide (read: inflates, deflates, then ghostwrites a breakup song), every zodiac sign reacts like it's living in a different season of
Succession
.
Aries
sees a recession and raises it a spontaneous shopping spree. Financial downturn? Sounds like a challenge. Aries buys a leather jacket in June and calls it 'investing in confidence.'
Taurus
survives economic collapse through hoarding artisanal candles and oat milk. Even if everything burns, Taurus is going down in a tub surrounded by eucalyptus. Priorities.
Gemini
goes from budgeting like a finance bro to blowing half a paycheck on concert tickets—within the same 30 minutes. Every economic headline sparks a new financial identity. Duality, but make it broke.

Cancer
cuts expenses like it's a soap opera betrayal. Cries over unsubscribing from a streaming service, then makes a spreadsheet of coupon codes. Extreme couponing becomes therapy.
Leo
keeps spending like the recession is just a bad PR rumor. Leo
will
buy designer sunglasses during a blackout sale and film an unboxing video while the stock market crashes in the background.
Virgo
has a spreadsheet, a backup plan, and possibly a bunker. While others panic-purchase air fryers, Virgo calmly reallocates funds and subtly judges everyone's lack of fiscal discipline.
Libra
doesn't cut spending—they just rebrand it. That overpriced perfume? 'A necessity for emotional balance.' Libra balances budgets with vibes, not numbers.
Scorpio
pretends to be unaffected, but secretly starts a side hustle selling scented daggers or luxury bathwater. Cash flow is important, but mystery is non-negotiable.
Sagittarius
hears "
economic downturn
" and books a spontaneous trip to somewhere with questionable Wi-Fi. Financial logic doesn't apply when wanderlust kicks in. If the plane ticket is discounted, it's destiny.
Capricorn
builds a portfolio while everyone else builds panic. Capricorns are the ones buying real estate during a meltdown. Not emotional support candles—land.
Aquarius
invests in cryptocurrency, solar panels, and whatever the latest eco-fintech hybrid is. When the world ends, Aquarius will barter NFTs for water.
Pisces
makes a budget, forgets it, buys six pastel journals, and writes poetry about inflation. The vibe is poor, but romantic.

'Game-changing': Piyush Goyal lauds India-UK FTA; calls it 'stepping stone towards dream of Viksit Bharat'

NEW DELHI: Union commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal on Saturday hailed the newly signed free trade agreement with the United Kingdom and said that the deal was signed on India's terms. While addressing a press conference, Goyal claimed the FTA to be "important" and "game-changing," stating that 99 per cent of India's exports will be able to go to the UK duty-free. "Prime Minister Narendra Modi and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer signed a Free Trade Agreement. Cabinet approval has been given in India, but Parliamentary approval in the UK is pending," Goyal said. "It will be a game-changing FTA that will give immense opportunities and benefits to India's farmers, businessmen, MSME sector, youngsters, and fishermen. Out of all FTAs signed so far, the India-UK FTA has been the biggest, most comprehensive, and most important. This FTA has been signed on our terms. Ninety-nine per cent of our exports will be able to go to the UK duty-free,' he added. — ANI (@ANI) This comes after India and the UK signed a historic trade deal in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and UK PM Starmer. The deal was finalised during PM Modi's visit to the United Kingdom. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Salma Hayek, 58,Shows Her Huge Size In New Photos Boite A Scoop Undo The agreement aims to boost bilateral trade to $120 billion by 2030—effectively doubling the current trade volume between the two nations. Taking a swipe at the previous UPA government, Goyal criticised its trade strategy while highlighting the Modi government's approach to FTAs. He also said that the comprehensive deal will help advance progress towards a Viksit Bharat. Goyal said, "UPA government signed FTAs with our competitors, with those countries who would sell their products in India for cheaper prices to destroy India's manufacturing sector... The FTAs signed during the UPA rule were not in the best interests of the country. FTAs signed by PM Narendra Modi are with Mauritius, Australia, EFTA countries, UAE, and now the UK." "Talks are going on with other developed countries. India now signs FTAs with countries which do not compete with us, but complement us. The UK-India Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement will prove to be a stepping stone towards our dream of a Viksit Bharat," he added.

Meta picks ex-OpenAI researcher over Yann LeCun as chief scientist of AI superintelligence unit

Meta has been stealing away talent from its biggest rivals as it gears up to become a serious contender in the AI race. And now, after putting together a team, CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced that Shengjia Zhao, a former OpenAI researcher and one of the co-authors of the original ChatGPT paper, just been named Chief Scientist of Meta's newly minted Superintelligence AI who quietly joined Meta in June, was instrumental in OpenAI's early successes, from building the first reasoning model, o1, to helping shape ChatGPT itself. That o1 model, incidentally, is the very one that sparked the 'chain-of-thought' craze, later picked up by the likes of Google and CEO Mark Zuckerberg confirmed Zhao's promotion in a post on Threads, calling him 'our lead scientist from day one.' He went on to explain, 'Now that our recruiting is going well, and our team is coming together, we have decided to formalise his leadership role.' Zhao will now work directly under Alexandr Wang, the former Scale AI CEO who joined Meta in June as its Chief AI Officer. Wang has been tasked with nothing less than steering Meta towards artificial general intelligence (AGI), systems capable of reasoning and thinking at human or even superhuman Superintelligence Lab, which Meta unveiled in June 2025, is the centrepiece of this new ambition. It operates separately from FAIR, Meta's long-established AI research unit, which remains under the leadership of AI veteran Yann LeCun. LeCun now reports to Wang, giving the latter clear oversight of Meta's two-pronged AI research AI hiring binge has been making headlines all summer. In just a couple of months, the company has lured away more than a dozen leading researchers from OpenAI, Apple, Google and Anthropic. That includes high-profile names such as Apple AI scientists Tom Gunter and Mark high-stakes AI talent hunt didn't stop with Shengjia Zhao. As The Information first reported in June, Zhao joined alongside three other influential OpenAI researchers: Jiahui Yu, Shuchao Bi, and Hongyu Ren. The tech giant has also brought in Trapit Bansal, who previously collaborated with Zhao on AI reasoning models, and recruited a trio of engineers from OpenAI's Zurich office, each with expertise in make it happen, CEO Mark Zuckerberg has personally taken the reins of recruitment, reportedly reaching out to candidates via email and even hosting potential hires at his private Lake Tahoe retreat. Not your average job interview venue. According to the reports, some offers have been eye-wateringly generous, with compensation packages reaching eight and nine figures. And Meta isn't playing around, many of these are 'exploding offers,' designed to pressure top researchers into signing within just a few present, Meta's most advanced open-source model, LLaMA 4, is still lagging behind rivals like OpenAI's GPT4 and Google's Gemini. But the company is betting big on a new model, codenamed 'Behemoth,' which is expected to debut later this year. Zuckerberg sounded bullish about what's coming next. 'Together we are building an elite, talent-dense team that has the resources and long-term focus to push the frontiers of superintelligence research,' he Zhao now in the driver's seat and a growing team of AI heavyweights, Meta clearly wants to make sure that the next big breakthrough in AI has its logo stamped all over it.- EndsMust Watch
