We were warned
 

Every science fiction writer has talked about this possibility.. Now it's a reality.

That first pic is very freaky...

It does relate to a biz idea I had years ago though.....

Cant someone create a biological organism to suck up all that crap we don't like ?

So we hound our industries with the EPA. We implement minimum wage laws. But we have no problem with other people making 5 dollars a week living in shitty conditions as long as walmart has cheap stuff.

I don't get it.

The scary part is that China is still in their infancy as a consumer nation. When their entire infrastructure is complete and they are in a position to start supplying themselves with products it can only get worse.

No question, that the US faced similar issues in places like Pittsburgh, Gary, Detroit..but the scale in China is so large that I can't imagine how they will be able to fix everything that's broken over there.

Allow me to explain:

We hound our industries with the EPA.

We implement minimum wage laws.

We have no problem with other people making 5 dollars a week living in shitty conditions as long as walmart has cheap stuff.

:thumbsup :winkwink:

they put a screen but still you can see sun ...

:1orglaugh ?..

We should make any imported product meet the same requirements we force our own manufacturers to follow.

I'll take pictures in 2 months when I'm on Vacation in China. Hoping I don't gag!

You really don't get it. The people who believe the job that the EPA has is an important one are the same folks who tend to think there needs to be a minimum wage and don't like they way Walmart conducts business when it pertains to it's employee's and suppliers.

The folks that are truly happy with all aspects of Walmart Corporations business model tend to have a problem with the EPA, Minimum wage and have an appreciation for Walmarts working conditions.

Iran is pretty fucked huh?

Shame...








:upsidedow

Sand will do that.

I'm in LA, it's only 25, I can breathe much easier now :helpme

Looks good - let's double down on fossil fuels and eliminate the EPA!

how did alaska get so fucked?

that's brilliant.. would fix everything. wouldn't create a new set of worse problems at all..

Apparently from wood-stoves. Older and less efficient stoves that don't use a secondary burn technology can be quite dirty. The particles get suspended in the colder air and with warmer air on top, get trapped creating the smog. The EPA has cracked down on wood-stoves in the last few years.

IT does get pretty bad there sometimes. Usually each day i go back to my hotel..have a shower then blow my nose. The tissue is black from smog. As in you can see black in the tissue.
Also after a couple days you can feel it in your throat. I stay inside a lot..lol

Why don't you kill yourself? You're a burden on the planet.

London (UK) I think was bad years ago.

Wonderful world.

I would seriously reconsider your trip. It's been reported here in Japan that China's central party has issued a report stating one third to half the population is expected to develop serious health problems. Most of which are irreversible. Especially in children and older people. China can/t/won't fix this. Ghost cities will soon turn into ghost provinces.:2 cents:

And I would seriously reconsider living in Japan. Do you believe the propaganda from Japan that the radioactive seawater from cooling the Fukushima nuclear reactors hasn't contaminated the Japanese water and food supply? Nuclear waste from uranium-235 includes caesium-137, which has a half-life of about 30 years. How's does your radioactive fish and seaweed taste?

Where's Philippines? :)

Its all good. We are sending the worst to California. :upsidedow

The skies around Tokyo are clear. Not like those pics of Beijing.
Why do you think the US Ambassador to China literally gave resignation in the am and was on a plane that afternoon?

The apocalypse will be orderly here. Unlike in US. :1orglaugh

Apparently California is getting hit from both Japan and China...
