Today 75,000, a new record. Also this https://www.ft.com/tour. https://www.ft.com/content/58e...27-887a-e50afa934b92 As of Wednesday, the floods had displaced 490,000 people in Sichuan, damaged 165,000 hectares of cropland, destroyed 2,155 buildings and caused Rmb16.4bn ($2.37bn) in direct economic losses, according to statistics from the official national disaster database. _________________________ NRA Endowment Member _________________________ "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." -- C.S.

| 10mm is The Boom of Doom  |
Since the 3G damn hasn't burst, can it at least be said to have reduced the extent of the flooding? The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People again must learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. ~ Cicero 55 BC The Dhimocrats love America like ticks love a hound. | |||

Damn, I helped start up a new plant in Liuzhou, Guangxi several years ago, and have friends there. Also a really good friend in Chengdu, Sichuan, and I'm currently working on a new plant in Chongqing, Sichuan. | |||

Liuzhou friend says it's raining and river is high but no flooding. Chengdu friend says it's OK now, but government will have to step in a to help fix things. The humanitarian relief agency she works for can't do much. They help kids after disasters building schools and libraries and such. | |||

The 10,000 year Chinese calendar doesn't start when our does. Even so, this thing lasted about 6000 years less than they said it would. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||
