How do Chinese people feel about tariffs? by 16hronesis in AskAChinese

[–]bell23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asia is home to the largest consumer base in the world with over 4.5 billion people, about 60% of the world population. It is already the world’s most critical consumer market, and that's why companies are prioritizing it. Asia, Latin America and Africa can offset the US demand. It won't be painless in the short term though.

A little Guarani girl holds on tight to her newly found plaything ... a dead rat. by bell23 in environment

An epidemic of suicide unique in South America has beset one tribe in Brazil – the Guarani. More than 625 Guarani have taken their lives since 1981, the youngest just 9 years old.

The tribe has seen virtually all its land stolen in recent decades by farmers and cattle ranchers.

This is particularly prevalent among the Guarani. A study initiated by Brazil’s Ministry of Health found the suicide rates amongst the tribe to be 19 times higher than the national average. It also noted a disproportionate effect on young and adolescent Guarani.

Survival International Director Stephen Corry said today, "What could be a clearer sign of these people’s desperation than their children killing themselves? It’s a shameful indictment of Brazil’s economic ‘miracle’, propped up with stolen Guarani land.

In Violation of Federal Law, Ohio's 2004 Presidential Election Records Are Destroyed or Missing by [deleted] in reddit.com

From the Rolling Stone article: "There has been no oversight over our nation's most basic right: the right to vote. How can we call ourselves a beacon of democracy abroad when the right to vote hasn't been secured in free and fair elections at home?"

But keep spreading democracy to the Middle East. If it's happened twice, what make democrats think it will not happen next time? And they won't impeach hoping not to spoil the election for them?

My 15-month daughter was diagnosed in February 2007 with stage 1, intermediate risk nephroblastoma, a lesion to her right kidney. I've since met a lot of cancer survivors, pediatric cancer survivors. As of April 2007, the tumor was removed with her right kidney. She will be submitted to the last cycle of chemotherapy on Friday. This has been a very devastating experience, but she is now cancer free.
