Reply to comment by BroForceOne in Daylight Saving row leaves Lebanon on brink of two timezones by chiliaan
The benefit of daylight savings time (shifting the clock forward an hour during summer) is that work/school start closer to the earlier sunrise you get in summer, which also means you get more daylight from the time work/school ends until sunset to do outdoor activities.

Between the two, it makes sense for a small country like Honduras to do this, China has more perks than Taiwan

LOL your post has managed to really confuse the CCP trolls. Their responses to you are obvious, trite, and downright embarrassing. I almost feel bad for the people who either made the posts or made the bots who made the posts - tough to tell with the Chinese.

Why pay to fix tomorrow's problem? Hasn't that been humanity's motto for some time?

He was voted in because Israel hates Palestine and the Middle-East more than a right-wing authoritarian government.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 77%. (I'm a bot)

Judicial independence is important and good especially in the case of Israel. Hopefully enough anger will reverse this course or at least but opposing forces in enough of a possie to be able to overturn when they get an opportunity to.

I'm an American living in China for nearly 7 years. My wife is Chinese. We're having our first kid in a few hours, in fact.
The negative view that so many people who live outside this country have of the average Chinese person is completely insane. It would be like if every American was stereotyped into being a MAGA, school shooting, capitol rioting terrorist just because some of those people exist.
In all my time here, my experience with Chinese people has been beyond pleasant. The people I've known, the friends and family I've made, and even the strangers on the streets have been awesome. Are there things to complain about? Sure, of course! Is it an Orwell's 1984 dystopian nightmare full of craven, evil robots? Of course not.
People here want the same stuff everyone else wants. To live happily, have a good life, give their children a better life than they had, and just enjoy what there is with the time they have.
I will say this, I've never felt more safe walking on a street at anytime of day as I have in China. Now, driving is another conversation! I definitely miss driving in the States!

You really think they're that ignorant? If you were to ask a Chinese person they'd probably tell you that they already have a democracy, as the government works for the people above all. Your idea that they're all oppressed but just too stupid to realize is false.

They're used to their stricter legal system. If they lived under a democratic system with more personal freedoms, they would 100% feel oppressed as hell right now in China under it's current authoritarian "keep your head down and you'll be okay" system.
Also, the Chinese people have a unwritten deal with their government to sacrifice personal freedom in exchange for rapid economic growth.
Once economic growth slows down, China needs to rapidly pivot to offering sweeping "human rights improvement" legislation. If they fail to do this (I seriously doubt they'd actually pass democratic reforms), the Chinese people are going to flip out and go ape shit.

I wonder if the United States could bring some resources to the resistance there, just like we are bringing resources to Ukraine. Both deserve our attention.
