China miscounted its population, now the economy is in crisis | If You're Listening
1,027,294 views Sep 1, 2023 If You're Listening | ABC News In-depth
China’s economy is tanking. Similar things are happening across Asia but in China it’s happening extremely fast.
It’s because of the One Child Policy, introduced over 40 years ago to drive up productivity.
Now, after years of fudging the population data, China’s real population has been revealed.
The policy might be over, but the population is going backward, the labour force is retiring, and China is in a world of trouble.

I knew this was coming from the usual people, so it's no surprise to me.
What would be a surprise if the Republicans welcomed home the 5 US citizens after years of imprisonment without bitching about Bidens success in getting them back.
Yes, he released oil revenues that Trump had convescated when he withdrew from the treaty that Obama had made with Iran to limit their production of enriched uranium, and also 5 Iranian prisoners were included in the deal.
To me, it was worth the price to get the hostages home and to open discussions with Iran to again curtail Irans nuclear programs, which now has no limits.
One other benefit is that with a better relationship, maybe that would stop Iran from developing closer ties with Russia and stop giving those cocksuckers drones,

Tens of millions are spent every year by those on the right trying to convince fools that Bill is an evil man, he doesn't look evil to me. Every grifter from Trump to Alex Jones attacks him for trying to save lives and do some good with his fortune. Bill helps brown and poor people and that is his greatest sin in their eyes.
Bill Gates on A.I. Meeting with Schumer & Musk, saving lives, high taxes & lawyers: Melber Intv

Philanthropist, tech leader and billionaire Bill Gates talks with MSNBC’s Ari Melber in this wide-ranging interview about the Gates Foundation's new 2023 "Goalkeepers Report," including efforts to cut maternal mortality and deploy low-cost health technology; global poverty and climate change relief programs; Gates' recent high-level A.I. meeting with Sen. Schumer; the structure, promise and risks of “world-changing” artificial intelligence, and its impact on a range of jobs - including lawyers - plus Gates' call for higher, progressive taxation amidst rising inequality. Melber also reads an extensive text "created" by ChatGPT about Gates, for his response and assessment. This is the extended video of Gates' interview, which aired on MSNBC, and is Gates' third interview with Melber. (Gates previously appeared in the inaugural interview for Melber's "Summit Series" in 2021, where he discussed tech regulation, attacks on him and Dr. Fauci, systemic racism, tax policy and his reaction to being cited in so many rap songs.)

COVID levels are so high, they're approaching 2020's initial peak, as the WHO urges those at high risk to take any booster they can get their hands on
It’s yet another sign that while the official pandemic state may be over, the days of COVID are far from it.

The repukes fought hard against getting those people back too and it wasn't even American money ffs. It was Iran's money for oil sold to S. Korea that was confiscated as you mentioned.
Every day it seems they do something else to show what f'n a-holes they are and they expect to have a chance of winning in '24.

I like this physicist's talks on various science topics.
Are Room Temperature Superconductors IMPOSSIBLE?
Superconductive materials seem miraculous. Their resistanceless flow of electricity has been exploited in some powerful ways—from super-strong magnets used in MRIs, particle accelerators and fusion plants. And then there’s, their bizarre ability to levitate in magnetic fields. But the broader use of superconductors is limited because they need to be cooled to extremely low temperatures to work. But what if we could produce superconductivity at room temperature? It would change the world.

Groundbreaking Study Uncovers Origin of “Conscious Awareness”
The research on infants provides the first quantified observations showing the 'emergence' of agency or purpose in humans. Living things act with purpose. But where does purpose come from? How do humans make sense of their relation to the world and realize their ability to effect change? These fund

Philippines condemns China’s installation of ‘floating barrier’ in South China Sea
Philippine authorities on Sunday condemned the China Coast Guard for allegedly installing a “floating barrier” in a disputed territory in the South China Sea.
In a statement, Coast Guard spokesperson Jay Tarriela said a floating barrier with an estimated length of 300 meters was discovered on Friday during a “routing maritime patrol.”
Tarriela said the floating barrier is preventing Filipino Fishing Boats (FFBs) from entering the area and conducting their fishing and livelihood activities.
“The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) strongly condemn the China Coast Guard’s (CCG’s) installation of floating barrier in the Southeast portion of Bajo de Masinloc (BDM), which prevents Filipino Fishing Boats (FFBs) from entering the shoal and depriving them of their fishing and livelihood activities,” Tarriela said in a statement on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. He included photos of the incident.
Tarriela said the floating barrier was seen being installed by three China Coast Guard boats and a Chinese Maritime Militia’s service boat, upon the arrival of the Philippine Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources vessel. There were more than 50 FFBs spotted in the area on Friday, Tarriela said.
Four CCG vessels tried to drive the BFAR vessel and FFBs away by initiating a series of radio challenges. The crews on the CCG vessels allegedly claimed they were violating international law and domestic law, but Philippine authorities insisted “emphasized that they were carrying out a routine patrol within the territorial sea of BDM.”
Tarriela said CCG crews backed off when they noticed a media presence on board the BFAR vessel.
“The PCG will continue to work closely with all concerned government agencies to address these challenges, uphold our maritime rights and protect our maritime domains,” Tarriela wrote.

How we and America make allies, the more they act like assholes to their neighbors and make territorial claims on everybody from India to Russia and Vietnam, the easier it will be to ring them with allies. Trade will shift to these countries making them economically and militarily strong, Taiwan wants China to make as many enemies as possible in the region. The only place for China to go would be into central Asia and to take pieces of the Russian empire in the east through independence movements. Both Russia and China are facing serious demographic decline with population crashes, and both have major economic problems right now.Philippines condemns China’s installation of ‘floating barrier’ in South China Sea
