Cause & Effect (因果)

Just an analogy: Cause & Effect (因果)

You need to eat oranges for their vitamins to maintain your health. But your land is infertile to grow any, so you have to import them for your own consumption. But now trade tariffs have been imposed on all imports of oranges and prices have sore so high that you have to pay exorbitant price for the same orange. With stagnant income in a place with high inflation, you could afford to buy fewer oranges. Unless you can find extra incomes, alternate cheaper supply sources or substitutes for oranges, you have to live with this turmoil with your health suffering due to lack of vitamins in your diet.  

Anyway, you’re the one that voted this crazy guy in to run your country and let him make all the decisions?

So who to blame now?

Fighting Fake News

I don’t quite understand why a need to spend public resources for such a committee and hearing. After 50 hours and 65 witnesses (probably they are too shy to ask to be paid for their time), there weren’t any conclusion except for 2 themes: the importance of free speech & the need for added legislation.

Most people ‘think’ they are smart & are able to differentiate between fake news and the truth. Yet, they spread fake news like wild fire. Why? Simply because people are addicted to their mobile devices and their fingers are always on their small screen till they go to sleep. Just look at people around you & on the streets. One of their hand is constantly holding their phone in front of them & looking at it.

To stop fake news, just pass the law and punish those who create, spread, share them. Just ban them like chewing gum. There’s really no 2 ways about it.

When my friends sent me fake news, I just tell them & laughed at them loudly. They just confirmed that they aren’t that smart after all!
