Rich people think investing in totalitarian countries will make them richer because they have the "the more the worker is oppressed the richer I get" mindset from domestic business and can't break out it.

Blistex posted:they just started the transfer process without following their own security procedures, so there isn't really a way to prove fraud. I'd check to see if it's just "their own security procedures" or some state/federal regulation that they've broken and report them if so. Just for kicks.

Grand Fromage posted:Japan has absolutely bizarrely low reported cases and deaths so nobody believes they're telling the truth. Seems to be like how they keep their murder rate lower by finding "abandoned bodies" but this time it's people dying from completely unrelated normal flu, definitely not coronavirus. Will the epidemic finally up-end Japan's (and Europe's Japan's) age pyramid?

TheBuilder posted:Personal update - earlier this year or sometime last I posted about my in laws that live in Jiangxi. At that time, the local police showed up to their house asking for copies of my wife's (naturalized US citizen) US passport. She refused to supply her parents with that, but her sister who also lives here, supplied a copy of her green card. IDGI. Officials in a country ask for a copy of the passport of a foreign national residing in their country and that's noteworthy because ?!?!?! e: Oh your wife doesn't reside there? Do they know that?

Reminded me of the Finnish guy who was coaching the Chinese ski jump team but got shitcanned recently for focusing on results instead of focusing on being mean to the athletes. E: I say coaching, but apparently he built the entire team up from non-ski-jumpers in three years.
