  • I went through a few cheap quartz clock because it drain the battery so quick i started to wonder if the battery i bought is bad. Then i decided to get an ikea one, which cost just a little bit more and the same brand of battery still running the clock a year later.

    It kinda reminds me of the clock when i was a kid, we didn’t really need to change the battery for two years. Thing nowadays is so cheaply made it’s basically buying plastic and ewaste.




















  • But alas, China isn’t a true communist country. Just like many socialist country, their economy still relies on capitalism, and this issue is much more complex than say housing should be free, because the issue they’re facing right now is there’s way too many supply and there’s not enough demand(or simply unaffordable).

    Housing price falling might be a good news for people who’s looking to buy one as their forever home, but beyond that, it will make upper-middle class and upper class people spending less as the mortgage they’re paying doesn’t match the housing price in the current market, which could have a cascading effect toward the economy as a whole. Another issue is, when the demand is too low and the housing development company stop their project, ten(or even hundred) of thousands of blue collar will also affected. Now suddenly a “good news” doesn’t sound as good as it is. The article explain it better.

    And i’m not even talking about the multimillionaires that can escape when they want to.
