    OK, we're middle class and we know state secrets.
    I can certainly put a word in.

    Vancouver has rent control districts for people who have been flownover for a long enough period of time that they need affirmative action. The city understands how important flyover people can be to establishing a desirable culture.

      If it were the US he'd turn out to be a secret drug addicted pedophile. In Russia he'd turn out to be a secret separatist terrorist. In the Arab world he'd turn out to be a secret Zionist heretical spy. In China he'll turn out to be secretly accepting bribes and betraying the revolution.

          I saw the high-rises going up 15-20 years ago. It's definitely not a cheap city.

                      Vancouver is Seattle if Seattle was pretty. In other words, it's Larger Portland.

                        I saw a crazy picture (maybe completely out of context to weave a narrative) that China has resorted to literally piling rocks and dirt in front of tunnels to limit travel in some areas.

                          We'd use tanks. Or stack the bodies of minorities shot by the police during the state of emergency.

                              More people now infected by corona than ever were with SARS. What a stellar job by the Chinese gov yet again. And they still claim to be balancing economics along with health.

                              This may not peak until April, which means I may not get to do my trip and graduate.

                                China today is basically what the US would be after a couple of decades of 100% Republican control.
