Deflation subsided, but new deflationary pressures may emerge next year. Over 20% of businesses are unprofitable.

Nothing new on the trade war that isn't repeated elsewhere.

The Cambodia story is about a criminal organization that lures Chinese citizens, but forces them to work instead. Considering that the story is not receiving much coverage elsewhere, you might want to listen to this portion of the video.

Sorry that I didn't respond earlier, but I've been short of breath and considering the 3 ER visits during this summer for heart failure it's been rough.

If you got a chunk of money in your pocket, you can literally get away w/ anything.

It's pathetic and horrifying that such wealth has created a separate class of society far above the rest of us, where there are no rules.
