What a great country. Wow, I'm in a great mood. I love our second-floor apartment with balcony. The door to the balcony is wide open and fresh Texas air is blowing through the house. Due to the rain and low-pressure system it's quite cool outside; a bit humid, but the fresh air is nice.
The technology is wonderful. I can't say enough about Hulu, Amazon Prime, Apple (although the latter is starting to disappoint me -- Apple may be losing some key markets to Amazon).
Movie: Young Frankenstein, Mel Brooks, Gene Wilder, Terri Garr, Cloris Leachman, Marty Feldman, Peter Boyle, Madeline Kahn. What an incredible cast.
Covid-19: bottom line, as I see it:
- we needed a wake-up call;
- some great things came out of the global response;
- I'll probably be better off five years from now because of Covid-19 and the global response;
China:
- was there ever a two-child limit?
- I know the one-child limit that China encouraged as early as 1978, and then strict enforcement began in 1980
- interestingly enough, according to wiki, there were enough loopholes in the one-child policy that it was really a two-child policy (1979 - 2015)
- for example, ethnic minorities were "exempt" from the one-child policy
- so, now we have the three-child policy
- Greta: "Say what?"
Three-child policy: by the way, the Chinese three-child policy was the top story in many news outlets over the weekend. It must be a big deal. Who knew?
