i seem to remember that Trump did not want to use the wartime production act, stated that the virus was a hoax, said that masks were not necessary, and created a culture of covid denial, leading to the additional deaths of 100s of 1000s of americans. and a survey showed that a lot of americans will not take the vaccine, a continuation of the trump culture.

couriers always go back to work, on paper, after the spring festival, but things are still messed up for a while. different parts of the courier chain stopped work at different times before the hols so where things are in the supply chain is messed up. there will be a backlog, and guess what, it is not first in first out. it is usually the ones closest to the door first out after a holiday. some orders won't be fullfilled until the suppliers go back on the 9th. and even there there will be a backlog. some supply chain workers just have not been able to get back to work yet. normally for cny things get messed up, this year especilly so. no surprises or need for concern.

right wing dogma, every civilised country has a tax threshold before people pay tax.. even if poor pay tax it. leaves it open to the argument that if the peasants cant expect the same as shanghai because they dont pay shanghai taxes. poor paying taxes does not mean they will demand better services, just because you a middle class educated person would, huge assumption there, just more dogma. as already said, poor are often ignorant as to h;ow govermwent works

also society can be compartmentalized. leading to thinking of why waste energy thinking aobut things that you have not control over. a bit like karma but also a bit of picking battles you can influence. almost confuscian idea of knowing ones place and sticking to it

research suggests they most wont upsticks to a tax haven. some will like branson but they have probably done it already. by the time most wealthy get there, they are middle aged, have kids in school, connections with an area. they dont even move state, or even city. as for the poor caring where the tax goes, many are too ignorant of how governmt works anyhow. then there are some who just dont give a s41t, except that it is gone. most poor are disenfranchise by system, hence the recent populist waves
