U.S. Homeland Security probably isn't surveilling jaywalkers, yeah?

This tech is more likely used by USCIS to track non-citizens/immigrants under current administration. The Huxleyan non-conformed "real American" shall be under his eye. That would be less farfetched.

Food for thought during Thanksgiving.

Yes, drivers given tickets end up on aforementioned jumbotron of shame.

Thus facial recognition cameras that automatically deduct social credit scores for litterers, spitters, smokers, and jay-walkers may not be a terrible "Orwellian" path en route to a 文明er 昆明, in contrast to a Brave New 'Merica.

Bravo, awaiting part II.

GoKunming staffs may want to visit the new exhibition center at Green Lake, North of the white/black swans, formerly the Mahjong area. It features an informative media interface detailing future city planning inside and around the vicinity.

This morning I was strolling at a nearby park. Squirrels were chasing one another amid the trees fighting over territory. Like us, our mammalian primates and kin have been coveting neighbors' goods for eons... the innate struggles to optimize survival and to ensure the passing of one's genes.

Social network of friends & acquaintances have virtually triggered that hard-wired instinct, inadvertently opening the Pandora's box of emotions which govern our actions and states of being. Happiness depends on keeping that proverbial lid closed.
