Yeah, if they wanted to "let people know how much government is taking from them", they would show both - the price without tax and the price with tax. So I call that complete BS and a lame excuse, as the only point in showing only the lowest price on the tag is to make things look cheaper and make bigger sales on people who are not good at math.
Besides here in Europe we do get to see how big the tax is - recipe does show the price without tax and the amount of VAT. Besides by law sellers are obliged to show two prices - per piece and per one kilogram or one liter, so you would be aware, if you actually get more for your money, or is that pack of butter cheaper, because it's 180 instead of 200 gram pack next to it. However, some shops use this to fool you - you see a price in big digits for a cake, let's say nine euros. A good price!!! No! It's for one kilo, where the whole cake weights considerably more, and the price for it is in tiny digits underneath big ones. I hate this! So I rarely go to that shop.

Not really, well, on one hand - yes, the virus and it's initial spread was caused by incompetence of Chinese authorities, which does make them worry. But on the other - no, they don't have to worry of it's origins, it's not a bio weapon(if it was, a meager 2% mortality rate... Common!), which every lab able to sequence DNA can see, which basically makes hiding it's origin impossible - everyone with access to infected people can take a test sample of it, and we already know which two viruses contributed to making this one (it's not unique situation, HIV also is a product of gene exchange between two viruses); and those two have origins in China, so the only place CCP can cover up something is China itself, to everyone else it is absolutely clear where the virus came from and that abysmal hygiene of wet markets in China definitely contributed to it.

WoW, these responses are weird, I'd even say alien to me.
Why so many people presume "more is better" when it comes to number of sexual relationships? Why do you presume quantity to be more attractive than quality? Sorry for comparison, but isn't it like choosing several fastfood meals over one in from the best restaurant?
I might be spoiled (not by money, my family had very little), but that's exactly why I prefer trust and love over short term excitement about novelty and adrenaline rush from risk of being caught. However, I also do realize, it is not completely rational choice, based on logic alone, it's also about the hormones and our brain, which dictates willingness to take risks and many other things.

If expert says bullshit, he is not an expert, isn't it?
Or are you implying, we should trust anyone, who we just like, despite being a completely incompetent in the field.
And it's nice you know the word "dichotomy", but that's where your "expertise" in the field ends.
And yes, wetmarkets is still the only valid versiopn, nothing has changed, there is no need to chase any new claims, just because it's a novelty. New bullshit shouldn't have more weight than a proper hypothesis. Seriously, now I feel a bit like talking to a flattard (flat earther) or a Creationist.

Uh, fake confession videos... WoW, haven't seen something like that on local TV since 1980s, when we were still under Soviet rule.
It's pretty scary, that something like that still is going on, especially because China is a big country. Another scary thought is - what would I do in such system? We just got lucky and broke free from USSR, so now we are a part of the West, but it could have ended the other way, like in Beijing in 1989, just on a larger scale. And there is little one can do, living under such regime, except escaping and becoming a refugee in a more civilised country or choosing to stay and live like everyone else under a single party rule and keeping mouth shut.

I can partly understand Vivi's experience, even I'm from a "richer" country. Well, it was a different country back then - USSR. There were very few cars, out of 12 families in our apartment building, only one had a car. People mostly used public transportation. Upside if this was - space around houses was free, we, kids could play football and later basketball there. Now cars take up almost every possible space.
And yes, sitting home alone was normal, we all went to school on our own from age 8-10, some even earlier. So I was drawing something or reading. We had TV, but only 3 channels (one Moscow TV and two local IIRC), of course, there was no a separate one for kids. XD
Hunger... Well, no, I haven't experienced real starvation, only times, when food got really poor in early 1990s, like a week with no meat at all, not even soya substitutes, just some kind of porridge every single day, I was still a fast growing teenager, so it was depressing. And in early 2000s, that's after 1998 financial crisis in Russia and some if Eastern Europe, my wife (we were not dating back then yet) almost starved to death, but got saved by her parents.Thing is, she tried to save money in every way possible, even walked around 5-6 kilometers to work, which was in shifts of 12 hours, and only had like 3 sandwiches a day. It got so bad, she couldn't't phone her parents, since eyesight was impacted by hunger, luckily, the lady who owned the flat helped her and phoned parents.
Yet China (at least coastal cities) has went through even bigger changes than my country. Sort of. We no longer are a single party state, we joined EU and NATO, in a way, our changes were even more radical than in China, it's just there can't be a straight, simple comparison between our countries.
