  • The Slovak parliament Tuesday afternoon adopted an amendment to the traffic law that sets a maximum permitted speed on sidewalks in urban areas at 6 kph.

    It’s a blanket speed limit for the sidewalk, so no it’s not only about ebike and escooter, which mean you can’t walk like a rushing businessman catching bus, or running to catch your escaping cat. Your baby stroller is rolling downhil and you’re running at it to save your baby? Too bad, you get two ticket.



















  • But alas, China isn’t a true communist country. Just like many socialist country, their economy still relies on capitalism, and this issue is much more complex than say housing should be free, because the issue they’re facing right now is there’s way too many supply and there’s not enough demand(or simply unaffordable).

    Housing price falling might be a good news for people who’s looking to buy one as their forever home, but beyond that, it will make upper-middle class and upper class people spending less as the mortgage they’re paying doesn’t match the housing price in the current market, which could have a cascading effect toward the economy as a whole. Another issue is, when the demand is too low and the housing development company stop their project, ten(or even hundred) of thousands of blue collar will also affected. Now suddenly a “good news” doesn’t sound as good as it is. The article explain it better.

    And i’m not even talking about the multimillionaires that can escape when they want to.
