Time	Event
4:37a	Government investigation of corrupter appointed officials The transition team officials signed papers to permit government investigation of people the corrupter appoints to official positions. This means the corrupter will find it more difficult to thumb his nose at the country by nominating people who show total contempt for honesty and human decency. </li> (Comment on this)
4:37a	Working-class Americans imprisoned for non-violent crimes Rep. Hakeem Jeffries called on Biden to pardon the working-class Americans imprisoned for nonviolent crimes. I mostly agree, but I think that fraud should be excluded for the most part. </li> (Comment on this)
4:37a	Economic warfare over chip manufacturing The US and China have launched into economic warfare over chip manufacturing. The chips that are at issue are mostly backdoored (Intel and AMD) or chained by a secret instruction set (Nvidia). </li> (Comment on this)
4:37a	Martial Law in South Korea South Korea's president declared martial law and tried to use the army to exclude the lawmakers from parliament so they could not override the declaration. But they got in anyway, and voted to end martial law. Hooray for brave South Korea! It appears that all the major parties have condemned that martial law declaration, including the president's own party. Three cheers, South Korea. The president's own party does not have a majority in parliament. Perhaps the president aimed to push the legislators aside. </li> (Comment on this)
4:37a	Facial-recognition cameras in Hong Kong Hong Kong's streets are now full of facial-recognition cameras, and its conversations are full of fear. </li> (Comment on this)
4:37a	Need to talk about capitalism *We need to talk about capitalism.* *The freedom to be ripped off is at the heart of liberal capitalism. Yet caveat emptor is a defense that relies on a degree of equality between the buyer and seller and what they know about the product in question.* As should be clear already, I advocate forbidding the business practices that systematically tend to take advantage of segments of the public. Businesses are not entitled to "freedom" in the same way that each person is in per own life. </li> (Comment on this)
