What are you gonna do - NOT fly the planes that are trying desperately to kill people? Grow up. Those planes cost money and those tickets make money. The worst that happens if you fly them is a bunch of people die, but think about all the money you'll lose by not flying them.

They bought their tickets. They knew what they were getting in for.

I say, let them crash.

China will effectively ensure and improve people's wellbeing, according to a government work report submitted Tuesday to the National People's Congress (NPC) for deliberation. Chinese Premier Li Qiang delivered the report on behalf of the State Council at the opening meeting of the second session of the 14th National People's Congress on Tuesday morning, March 5.

quote:

China to Effectively Ensure, Improve People's Well-being

"Adhering to the people centered development philosophy, we will make solid progress toward prosperity for all and give our people a growing sense of fulfillment, happiness and security."

China will:

Increase income and employment

Take a wide range of steps to stabilize employment and increase incomes.

Give greater priority to employment and roll out more special polices to promote employment.

Promote employment for young people.

Ensure employment for ex-service members, rural migrant workers and other groups.

Increase the incomes of urban and rural residents through multiple channels.

Enlarge the size of the middle-income group.

Increase the incomes of low-income earners.

Enhance medical care

Increase government subsidies for basic medical insurance by an average of 30 yuan (roughly 4.17 in U.S. dollars) per person.

Deepen the reform of public hospitals.

Channel more high quality medical resources towards lower-level hospitals.

Promote stronger county-township-village coordination in the supply of medical services.

Promote the preservation and innovative development of traditional Chinese medicine.

Advance the Healthy China Initiative and patriotic health campaigns.

Build a strong line of defense to protect people's health.

Enhance social security and social services

The minimum basic old-age benefits for rural and non-working urban residents will be increased by 20 yuan (2.8 U.S. dollars) per month.

Continue to increase basic pensions for retirees and step up the development of elderly care networks in urban and rural communities.

Improve polices to boost birth rates and reduce the costs of giving birth and raising and educating children.

Improve the multi-tiered and categorized social assistance system so as to strengthen and make complete the backstop social security network for ensuring the basic livelihood of the people.

Enrich people's intellectual and cultural lives

Understand and act on an in-depth understanding of the Xi Jinping Thought on Culture.

With core socialist values follow through with practice the pursuit of developments in philosophy, social sciences, the press and publishing, radio, film and television, literature and art, archiving and other programs.

Implement cultural projects in a creative way to benefit the public, and vigorously develop the cultural sector.

Improve national security and social stability

Take a holistic approach to national security.

Improve the level of public security governance with a focus on strengthening production safety as well as disaster prevention and responses at the grassroots level.

Improve governance, law and order

Improve the social governance system, strengthen the service-providing functions of urban and rural communities, and effectively protect the lawful rights and interests of women, children, senior citizens, and people with disabilities.

Work to better prevent and resolve disputes and promote law-based handling of public complaints.

Continue to crack down on illegal and criminal activities of all types, so as to better pursue the Peaceful China Initiative.

Chinese Premier Li Qiang delivered the report on behalf of the State Council at the opening meeting of the second session of the 14th NPC, held at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Tuesday morning.

"Adhering to the people centered development philosophy, we will make solid progress toward prosperity for all and give our people a growing sense of fulfillment, happiness and security. We will take a wide range of steps to stabilize employment and increase incomes. We will give greater priority to employment and roll out more special polices to promote employment. As over 11.7 million students are due to graduate from college this year, we must do more to promote employment for young people. We will also take solid steps to ensure employment for ex-service members, rural migrant workers and other groups. We will work to increase the incomes of urban and rural residents through multiple channels, enlarge the size of the middle-income group, and increase the incomes of low-income earners," said the premier.

The premier called for further efforts to improve medical and health services. Government subsidies for basic medical insurance will increase by an average of 30 yuan (roughly 4.17 in U.S. dollars) per person.

Li said China will deepen the reform of public hospitals, channel more high quality medical resources towards lower-level hospitals, promote stronger county-township-village coordination in the supply of medical services, promote the preservation and innovative development of traditional Chinese medicine, advance the Healthy China Initiative and patriotic health campaigns, and build a strong line of defense to protect people's health.

He also called for efforts to improve the social governance system, strengthen the service-providing functions of urban and rural communities, and effectively protect the lawful rights and interests of women, children, senior citizens, and people with disabilities.

On community-level governance, Li stressed efforts to better prevent and resolve disputes and promote law-based handling of public complaints.

China will also continue to crack down on illegal and criminal activities of all types in accordance with the law, so as to better pursue the Peaceful China Initiative, according to the Government Work Report.

The second session of the 14th NPC will conclude on March 11, with the attendance of nearly 3,000 deputies from across the country.

you're more likely to get a payout if you die in a horrific lithium battery fire while taxiing thats caught on tv start to finish rather than simply ending up as a mysterious debris field in fly-over country so id suggest taking as many short hop flights as possible
