Putin’s words must be taken seriously – Merkel. Heeding what Moscow says is “political wisdom” and not a sign of weakness, the former German chancellor said (if Merkel still in office, Germany will not be in the sorry state today) 普京的話必須認真對待 – 默克爾。這位德國前總理說,莫斯科所說的是“政治智慧”,而不是軟弱的表現(如果默克爾還在任,德國今天就不會處於令人遺憾的狀態)

SF Chronicle: Trouble in paradise: How remote work changed Hawaii.
When the pandemic hit, Hawaii turned from tourist destination to an alluring remote work magnet. A program called Movers and Shakas even offered a free flight in exchange for working with nonprofits. Hundreds of San Franciscans made the move, according to IRS data.
The new residents lifted the economy as tourism plunged, but they also brought some familiar challenges to the islands: exacerbating already high housing costs and putting more economic pressure on locals, as my colleague Chase DiFeliciantonio reports. One of the most prominent examples: Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg buying 110 acres in Kauai for $17 million late last year, adding to his already huge compound on the Garden Island.
As some companies have called workers back to their continental offices, the tide of arrivals in Hawaii appears to have slowed, with Movers and Shakas seeing a dearth of applications. But even as change has slowed, the islands remain a desirable destination, and an ongoing challenge is how to meet that influx of newcomers in a sustainable way. As the Bay Area shows, it’s a tough change to handle.

Many top artists in China are Uyghurs. No sign that they are being tortured or became slave labors like US & EU claimed. Grapes that are not for you to eat is sour. 中國的許多頂級藝術家都是維吾爾人。沒有跡象顯示他們正在遭受酷刑或像美國和歐盟聲稱的那樣成為奴隸. 吃不到的葡萄是酸的!
