Quick notes: Erdogan's terror, E-commerce norms...

  • Erdogan's Turkey is Islamic State: Syria’s Kurds, betrayed by the U.S., ask Assad for protection.... U.S. commanders recommend letting Kurdish fighters in Syria keep weapons. The recommendation “is a rejection of Trump’s policy to withdraw from Syria”.


  • Govt tightens e-commerce norms: Forces e-commerce companies to become ‘genuine marketplaces’. "FDI rules do not allow inventory based model of e-commerce".. Move may end Amazon, Flipkart flash sales and discounts.. Amazon may have to sell Cloudtail, Appario stakes.


  • The War on Cars Is Real: It's being led by congested cities. Congestion pricing is just one way cities are actively engaged in reducing the number of cars and the amount of driving.


  • Jobless growth: Manufacturing may not generate jobs at the expected rate. 'The policies were put in the hope that growth of the manufacturing sector will lead to increased employment'.
