whats the best way to get around without a scooter/private transport?
The world is belatedly figuring out The Emperor has No Clothes - not that I needed any more reasons to trade my soon-to-be-worthless Yellen Bux for real money at every opportunity.
President Joe Biden has made international headlines for his car crash press conference where he seemingly gave Russian strongman Vladimir Putin the 'green light' to invade Ukraine.
Biden was blasted on all fronts after after telling reporters that a 'minor incursion' into Ukraine by Moscow might elicit a lesser response than a full-scale invasion.
Seeing how U.S. media and so-called social-political groups have tried to silence and suppress any evidence of anti-Asian hate crimes and racism and at the same time amplify, manipulate information and create propaganda to make Asians (especially Chinese people) seem like the enemy has given me a really weird sense of "I've seen this before somewhere else ..."
As an example, in Nicaragua in 2018 the U.S. government financed and organized a huge network of criminals, journalists, priests and members of the church, politicians and brain-washed students who later carried out an attempted government overthrow.
They used student protests as a smoke screen, while at the same time their hired guns went around setting up road blocks, murdering, kidnapping, torturing Sandinista civilians and government officials and raping women.
Any evidence of violence being done to the "enemy" was silenced and suppressed.
Any social media accounts and videos on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter with evidence against their "narrative" that were gaining lots of views were quickly shutdown and banned. This continued on for months straight.
Once the Nicaraguan government started to fight back and Sandinista civilians armed up and formed paramilitary groups then the priests, church members, "international community" and U.S.-controlled media used every tool to their disposal to paint Sandinistas as criminals and monsters.
Social media groups, international western news outlets, international "human rights" groups all worked 24/7 to spew out misinformation and propaganda. It was unreal.
This basically proves just how much control the U.S. government and their "allies" have on what people see and hear in the media.
They can absolutely spin the narrative, create an enemy out of nothing, attack certain groups and carry out atrocities in other countries all while shouting "we defend democracy, human rights, the freedom of the press and freedom of expression!".
1-how much should I expect to be making per hour? I know it depends on the country but if the minimum wage in my country is 9$ per hour, how much should I expect?
2- in the "Terms & Conditions Questionnaire" it says that if I break the rules(using a VPN, sharing information etc..) it " will result in termination of your services agreement with the company and in non-payment for services provided to protect the integrity of our customerโs data "
should I be worried about this term? it sounds kind of scammy
It felt pretty strong here in Taipei! https://www.cwb.gov.tw/V8/E/E/EQ/EQ111001-0103-174637.html
Good news is crucial for any democracy and as am expat I was impressed to find that WION (World Is One News) is based in India and is equivalent of how BBC is to UK and Al Jazeera to Qatar. I have watched some of their news coverage videos and they seem good, my only gripe would be the very slow speaking rate but that's only a personal issue. Their app is great!
Ofc it's too early to say if ever it would get as good as BBC (even with all its warts) or Al Jazeera, but we should definitely support a good Indian news media.
Edit: if you have already been following WION what are some of your opinions about it?
Edit2: I found out that Wion isn't state sponsored like BBC/Al Jazeera, but afaik, similar to them in being the only English international oriented Indian news media.
