    One wonders how the American left judges the virtue of those protests. Just kidding, that's like wondering what flounders think about metaphysics.

    Education is extremely important.

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            @jon-nyc The question is can President Xi hold the COVID policies long enough for this to happen. He is too far gone into it to gracefully back down now.

            To answer my own question - he can hold the COVID policies as long as he wants I think. With the recent 5 year party congress, he has even a more iron grip on the government.

                Has anybody told them that the virus escaped from one of their own labs where they were genetically modifying it yet?

                      Japan Disney story is selling shirts, coffee cups, etc with Winnie the Pooh holding a blank piece of paper.

                      Winnie the Pooh character has become somewhat of substitute for President Xi, going back to this satire

                          Why say anything? All three of our largest problems have significant civil unrest. This is a good thing. Don't fuck it up.

                              Realize how close the West came to this? Especially with the vaccine mandates?

                                The closest the west came to this was Trump flirting with the idea of quarantining NYC.

                                          Because their vaccination rate is low, most who are vaccinated used the homemade version, alot of old people in the population, and somewhat poor healthcare, they are going to go from one extreme to the other in a very short while.

                                          Ouch!!!
