I can feel storms before they arrive. Like I sense the air change so I'm in tune with things like this. I couldn't sleep for a few days so I spent the time watching videos about China imminently doing things. The same sensation occurred and I could see Chairman Xi out of the corner of my eye, but he was a shadow version of himself.

Had to listen to several of my coworkers discuss China's "empty cities with houses for millions" and tried my hardest not to have a stroke. I desperately wanted them to understand how anything relating to city planning works, but only 1 of them actually pays any attention to the things I say and the other 2 think I'm too young and naive to really understand the world, which is annoying to hear from some of the most privelledged people at my place of employment.

"More houses than people, stupid commies. Don't they know you're supposed to have less houses than people so the people have to fight each other for them and the people who lose don't get a house to motivate everybody."

the US has more houses than people, what are they talking about.... a lot of them just stand empty so homelessness can be maintained.

Those aren't empty houses they're unrealized investment opportunities.

Unlike the Chinese who lack the ability for forward thinking.
