Healthcare workers calling in sick due to fuel prices – union​

A UK union has warned the cost of fuel is stopping care workers from going to work

We’re actually hearing of people who would rather phone in sick because they don’t have the money to fill up their cars and do their jobs,” Unison General Secretary Christina McAnea told The Guardian

Coming soon to America minus the unions.

They are very mistaken. The 80s generation were the ones burning flags, storming the embassy and holding NATO NAZI signs during the Belgrade bombings of the Chinese embassy. The 90s generation is widely regarded as the most nationalist since Mao.

It's not about nationalism.

The current generation were formed from tumultuous and frankly vicious experiences during the Cultural Revolution.
The next generation during the calmer and more stable times from the 1980s onwards.
And the following millennial generation from 2000s onwards, which was even more calmer and stable.

The appetite and experience of violence becomes less as time has gone on.

What is China's future or possible counter moves if and when Japan somehow manages to be accepted by NATO? Should China let the membership unfold knowing what possible dangers it entails for China especially when it's clearly being used by both Japan and U.S. + Europe to meddle in the Taiwan issue. We can harangue and argue about NATO operating out of it's geographical sphere but we all know that double standards isn't lost on these Anglo-Saxon dominated countries. This is almost a redux of the 8 alliances VS China during the Qing Dynasty but only this time China has nukes and is building additional ones.

If on the one hand China reacts by upping it's military budget countries on her periphery would use that as further proof of China's Hegemonic desires in the region if not globally. But if China does not improve her military budget it's almost sending a quite signal to the western world that it's being acquesiced by their strategy and bullying which would emboldened the crazies even more. Either way, China is clearly being boxed in politically so that it would run out of diplomatic options/leverage so that it will inevitably be pushed into using the use of military force FIRST which would finally justify US led forces like NATO to wage war against China. Ultimately, the 800 pound gorilla for the US and it's European lackeys is the subjugation and defeat of China. Once defeated China's political system will be replaced, and the predictable chaotic consequences ensure China will never rise to prominence ever again to threaten western led global order.

The people with accounting background here, at 8.6% inflation rate, what kind of price should we put on the values you think?
While inflation is rising steeply in the U.S., the life expectancy is going the other way:

Uncle Sam isn't going to be happy with this

Marcos said he would sign bilateral agreements with China regarding the issues of South China Sea. Hopefully he will carry through, and China and Philippines can explore the resources of the SCS together, setting an example for other countries.

A very serious warning from China's defense minister: China will not hesitate to start a war for the reunification of Taiwan!

I know that this was an act of terrorism, but I still can't help but laugh at the incompetence and stupidity on display here. I'm surprised it wasn't Florida Man.

But seriously, these embassies need to significantly beef up their security. Today it was this idiot, tomorrow it could be a McVeigh. It's to be expected as the US descends into lawlessness and chaos.

I don't think people should worry that much about the new generation.

It's not like young people will end up heading and leading the nation, there's a good reason why the country is led by like people in their 60s.

And getting up there in power/position, is a many year/decade long process as well.
Agreed, we would never see a CCP general secretary in China to be as young as obama for example
