China Just Doesn't Give a Shit

The Headline: China anger over death of girl, 14, sent to Covid quarantine

The link: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-63324655

A summary: "Guo Jingjing, 14, developed a fever two days after being taken to the centre in Ruzhou, Henan province last Friday.

Videos of her shaking and convulsing on a bed sparked an outcry online in China which retains strict pandemic controls.

Her family had shared the clips, appealing for help and accountability.

Officials contacted by the BBC have yet to comment on the allegations or the cause of Guo Jingjing's death, which remains unclear.

In his video, her father Guo Lele said workers at the centre had failed to provide any treatment to Jingjing as her condition worsened."

Of course, everything about this is being aggressively censored.

The Worst landlord? Your Government

 "The report from the U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) found that DCHA had let many of the units become damaged by persistent water leaks and mold, had failed to adequately monitor lead risks to child residents, and failed to control crime at authority properties.

Photos included in the report show images of units made totally uninhabitable by black mold, crumbling walls, and missing floor tiles."

If your government wasn't the government they would be held criminally liable for what they do. How can they enc=force rules against landlords that they can't follow themselves?

Your Government Cheats And Cheats

 This is not a discussion of the underlying policy, but rather the unethical and downright mean methods your government uses to implement a policy without any legal authority to do so AND to shield itself from good faith litigation to prevent it.

Moving the goalposts experts they all are.

"How do you challenge a rule that doesn't exist, and that constantly changes with every new blog post? The Biden Administration keeps moving the goal posts to block legal challenges."

Your Government Puts Crazy Cops On The Street With Guns

 Okay, that's a bit of hyperbole, but not that much.

The Alameda police department found that HALF of their officers had failed their psychological testing. Testing that was given BEFORE they allowed them to be armed cops. Luckily, one of those crazy cops shot a couple who was part of a love triangle with him. The subsequent investigation discovered the failed tests.

The response from the county is exactly what you would expect from a government that hates you. We will retest them because tests are better now and they were probably just too immature to pass the test. But NOT immature enough not to give them a gun!?!

China Jailed Over 1000 Political Prisoners In Hong Kong

 From the Hong Kong Political Prisoners Database:

“There have been 1,014 political prisoners in Hong Kong from June 9, 2019, to May 10, 2022… Hong Kong now has one of fastest-growing populations of political prisoners in the world, rivaling Belarus, Burma, and Cuba, other societies where authoritarian governments have recently cracked down on protest movements… Overall, this situation constitutes no less than a grave human rights crisis.”

Your Government Is Delaying Your Flight And Making It Cost More

 "In 2009, after a Colgan Air crash near Buffalo, New York, killed 50 people, Congress decided that airlines could only hire aspiring commercial pilots who already had lots of flight time.

Instead of 250 hours, now they have to have 1,500 hours!

"That never made any sense," says current commercial airline pilot Tracy Price in my new video.

The sixfold increase wouldn't have prevented the Colgan crash. Those pilots had many more than 1,500 hours of flight time. The pilot had 3,379—the co-pilot, 2,244.

That didn't matter to the politicians. "We need to improve pilot training, address flight crew hours and service," said then-Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D–N.J.).

Demanding more pre-hire flight time discouraged people from trying to become pilots. It had "the effect of pulling up the ladder," says Price.

Few people have the time or money to get 1,500 hours in the air before they can even apply for a job. The number of certified pilots fell even as flight demand increased.

The pilots unions didn't object."
