Jets open as three-point underdogs vs Dolphins
The New York Jets are coming off another loss, their 5th in a row, this one coming in a dismal Jets performances as the Jets were dominated by the Seattle Seahawks, 23 - 6. Mike White was ineffective, inaccurate and indecisive all game, leading an inneffectual Jets offense that never gave the team a chance. According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the New York Jets open as 3 point underdogs on the road against the Miami Dolphins next Sunday. Even if White is not so bad, I just don’t see the Jets beating the Dolphins in Miami. The moneyline odds are New York Jets +140/Miami Dolphins -165.

PTI’s packages

All these packages contain so much money if spent wisely on all the projects which so far has not been even started. This government has completed half of its term while announcing such packages, but when will this money be released is remain a question. So the fate of all these packages is at stake.

Economy tanks amid deafening political din
Unprecedented events lashed the political waters to madness as the stakeholders tried to steady the ship amid a chorus of downbeat predictions of the country’s economy facing a vertiginous collapse. “It came to an end because the military finally decided that it was too much burdensome for the institution, country, economy and they couldn’t carry on with the experiment,” the expert said. “Pakistan’s politics is hurting the economy, populist politics is hurting the economy and the elites’ interests are hurting the economy,” Zaigham said. “Pakistan’s power elite, political parties, economic elite and establishment are all responsible for the crises we are in and facing in the next year. Once again political parties are bickering about the rules of the game, which leads to political and economic crises time and again.

The New Year
Share:Not many will dispute the fact that 2022 was a rather eventful yet horrid year for Pakistan. This past year has been a handful and the hope is that a more optimistic future is to come. In the backdrop of this, successive policies led the IMF programme to be delayed indefinitely, pushing the country to the verge of a default. 2022 has been a problematic year and it is one we would rather not have had to include in our history. We need better policies and better guidance and focus must be redirected towards uncovering how this can be achievable.
