I'm sad to say that I do not believe the small business owner, who complains his business can't open and make money, that he and his mother have nothing to eat or drink.

I’m sure he’s exaggerating as small business owners do but I’m pretty sure he’s complaining that his parents who are under lockdown in a different city can’t get food deliveries

the difference is that qingdao and shenzhen started their lockdowns at the dozens of cases rather than the hundreds or thousands. shanghai wanted to put that off as long as possible and now they're paying for it. officials are already getting sacked

People just don’t have a sense of scale with China. All those cities combined is what? 55 million people? So less than 5% of the population. Over a billion people living without COVID and without lockdowns in China right now.

Different districts of Shanghai, but effectively a different city with the lockdowns yeah. I guess I'm surprised he can't help them place orders online, but I guess if we're taking him at face value he's fully broke.

Obviously it really depends on your community, but we had a guy who was broke and out of food and we all just paid for his group buys of rice and other staples. Maybe this guy has a more lovely community - I've heard some nightmare stories about communities being lovely to each other.

If his parents and grandmother are elderly / retired, though, I'm a little confused. My understanding is that elderly are being provided with meals and even given at-the-door testing so they don't have to make the short walks to the testing sites.

Hard to say, though. It seems like the biggest fuckup in this lockdown is really that there's no consistent support and policy and you can see wildly different provision of food packages from the government or community support depending on your district and compound / community.

I saw an old lady melting down at the social workers today (but my Shanghainese is zero so no idea what she was on about), so I'm sure there are real meltdowns but like any country the people screaming the loudest at social workers / healthcare workers are usually both not 100% honest and also pretty lovely.

What did he do to piss off all of parliament and all of the supreme court? I know he said it was a western plot against him but unanimous agreement in the other branches seems like a big lift even for the cia

edit: actually "unanimous" is wrong, the vote was 174 to 0 but the full parliament is larger
