@tiger: Maybe???
Of course he is. However, the system has been based on hypocrisy for a long time, and the current rage to focus on Trump's buffoonery and arrogant behaviour, although fun, is a dangerous distraction.
@Napoleon: no it doesn't.
How hard is it for you to get through the day?
My bank is 2 blocks from where I live and when I don't have any more cash, I go there and get some more, about once a month. System has worked well for many years.
@lemonlover: what you report sounds fake to me. However,
@dolphin: we are mostly lied to by nonreportage of significant details rather than by the use of outright lies - easier to distort information this way. This is done because those in power in journalism have other interests than simply telling the truth, which is sometimes inconvenient for them.
Then, too, 'the truth' is not simply a matter of a bunch of facts.
No experience with care for children, but I've had good (not perfect - 1 drug was overprescribed) experience with Kunming No. 2 hospital for a potentially quite serious skin problem - which, thanks to them, I no longer have (5 years). Yeah, I had to wait half an hour to an hour to see the doctor several times and I had to run around to different departments and collect test results myself, but so what. Cost of consultation, blood tests, X-rays etc. was very minimal - meds bought at the hospital pharmacy may have been slightly more expensive than if I'd bought them elsewhere.
This followed fairly useless, yet more expensive, experience with the (apparently independent and private) skin disease hospital on Renminxilu.
Problem of phony provincial and local assessments described in Elizabeth C. Economy's 2004 book, The River Runs Black, which covered the situation in other provinces as well. Are things better overall now? Well, very obviously thanks to the production and widespread distribution of private automobiles, among other factors such as massive construction, anybody who's lived here during that period cannot possibly fail to notice the worsening air quality in Kunming. She mentioned illegal logging as well, both in Yunnan and in Myanmar, to provide for construction, as well as the situation of water. The problem, at that time anyway, seemed to be not micromanaging from the central government, but the devolution of responsibility for carrying out central government plans from the center to the provinces. Might this have something to do with expanding privatization and 'cooperation' between local government and developers? Golly, I wonder.
keebler, is this supposed to explain the graveyard finds mentioned in the article? If so, how do you know? Are people in Yuanmou County smaller than their ancestors because they do not believe in God? Anyway, where do you get this theory, and what is the evidence? And what makes you think that smaller means simpler? How long is this supposed to take before we notice it in the human remains that have been found? How long ago was the Flood?
I suppose it is my fault for picking up on Dolphin's remark about lufengosaurus, but note that the point of the article about the graveyard has nothing to do with theories of genetic evolution of different species. The article is about evidence concerning the culture of people - i.e., homo sapiens - in the area several thousand years ago, though of course the bones can be analyzed for analysis of living conditions, food resources, etc. of the people of the time.
I'm not a health foody but the few meals I've had here have been really good and, yeah, I'll be happy to go back alone to sample all the rest of them. It's also not a bad place from which to people-watch the street below.

Swine fever scare temporarily shutters Yunnan pork industry
Posted byI'm afraid the hogs will die young anyway, as that's what they're raised for.
On the other hand, they are tasty.
