Thank you for your posts Lone Palm! I look forward to them.
“ongoing wave of closings of public bus companies.”
This is what happens when you force people to rely exclusively on public transportation. Once things break and people can’t get to work no money comes into state coffers, people do not pay their debts, and the economy starts to spiral downward. They need to fix it quickly.
This is NOT a good thing for us (US). It is one thing when an economic rival slows down. This is what happened with Japan during the 80s into the 90s.
It is quite another thing when an economic and military rival who thinks that they are racially, socially, and morally superior to everyone else on Earth begins to lose it and has no idea why it is happening. The CCP Princelings are afraid of losing their wealth, power, and prestige. They are becoming desperate and desperate people do stupid things and get people around them hurt. This is as true of nations as people.
