ONLY A BANKER WOULD THINK LIKE THIS
The CEO of Euro Exim Bank Ltd, Kaushik Punjani made economists think when he said:
′′A cyclist is a disaster for the country's economy: he doesn't buy cars and doesn't
borrow money to buy them. He doesn't pay for insurance. He doesn't buy fuel.
He doesn't pay for maintenance and repairs. He doesn't use paid parking.
He doesn't cause major accidents. He doesn't require multi-lane highways.
He doesn't become obese." "Healthy people are neither necessary nor useful to the economy.
They don't buy medicine. They don't go to hospitals or doctors.
They add nothing to the country's GDP." "On the contrary, each new McDonald's
outlet creates at least 30 jobs, in fact it employs 10 cardiologists, 10 dentists,
10 expert dieticians and nutritionists, in addition, of course, to the people who work in the outlet itself."
PS: Walking is even worse. People who walk don't even buy a bike.
