Why China's Elite Tread a Perilous Path

Wealth, power and fame are no defense against the arbitrary power of the Communist party. "In China, the rich, famous and powerful are all vulnerable to disgrace, disappearance, or worse."

A nightmare version of tall poppy syndrome. They start with the rich, famous, and powerful but how long before any sort of self-improvement is viewed as a threat to the Party?

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Just a reminder - Joe Biden is an anagram for "I need job"...  The descent into our world of "fake news" really accelerated when The Daily Show with Jon Stewart became the defacto source of news for many young people. Snark became a replacement for facts... Who knew? In the early 1970's North Korea actually had a higher GDP than South Korea. Tell me again how socialism/communism is better than capitalism?...  Quote for the day: George Bernard Shaw when asked to name a deceased man he missed the most said, "The man I miss most is the man I could have been"... Just saying but if Trump wins re-election the folks who make Trumpy Bear are going to have a huge Christmas season... "If I had a nickel for every woman who finds me unattractive, they would eventually find me attractive." The author of that quote is unknown but I really want to attribute it to Hunter Biden...
