So... a bunch of NFT grifters threw a party in Hong Kong this weekend and reportedly a bunch of attendees are now at risk of permanent eyesight damage because the promoters used unsafe lighting, and people are going to the ER...

not me watching miss hong kong live and seeing how a lot of them canāt even speak cantonese properly I donāt know if it makes me super critical but I thought for this sort of pageant where youāre judged on spoken responses you should at least be able to speak the language itās conducted in with some fluency ??
#hong kong#sorry for being so judgey#just need some subtitles for them#the ai thing is also ridiculous

Not only will new social distancing curbs crimp revenue for retailers and restaurants, a slashing of flights they rely on to bring everything from Australian cherries to Wagyu beef into the financial hub is set to raise costs and boost inflation.
Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd., the cityās most connected airline, has canceled hundreds of flights. Cargo capacity could drop below one-fifth of pre-pandemic levels. Logistics costs may surge by 40% within three weeks. Importers expect the price of fruit to rise by 10%.
Amid fear of the omicron variant, the government has scrapped aircrew quarantine exemptions it was previously giving, forcing Cathay to cut cargo flights. The airline will operate only about 20% of its pre-pandemic capacity this month due to a lack of manpower. Passenger flights were also banned from eight countries, including the U.S., U.K. and Australia, further reducing cargo capacity.

the government is insaneā¦ driving cathay pacific out of businessā¦ forcing travellers to quarantine for 21 days while people who benefit the economy donāt have to quarantine as longā¦ more people under the poverty lineā¦ widening income gapā¦ killing democracy.. you canāt make this up
#happy new year#my mom is nearly done with her 21 day quarantine#I hate the government#Hong Kong#China#new year#democracy dies in darkness#what a terrible 2021#literally living in a capitalist nightmare#2021#2022#no energy to do a year in review#just know that it feels surreal
