Constant false propaganda and frauds rampant everywhere. People have no choice but to commit crime and life expectancy drastically reduces. People no longer can afford kids and have grown to hate raising children and young children in general with increased child violence. The population drastically decreases which means more work to do and more division between rich and poor with the middle class becoming the working class. Society will completely fail and having a family will be almost impossible for anybody who wants to survive we are going down a terrible road and no country is doing better than any other.

In places like California, many people can't afford paying the rent even with a full time job and more and more people are living in their cars.

@@machina5 I do not think that America is better when it comes to treating minorities. Try to go back in history and see how Chinese were treated. But the mainstream media ignore these facts. This is still present in contemporary USA. Just look at the education system. East Asians do not have same conditions as others. In usa there is not any special requirements for negros when beeing admited to collegae other than the color of their skin. They can even get a master degree without writing a relevant subject. Although east asians have higher qualification than so called ' white' ( I never understood the american definition of black and white, a lot of so called white are considered black in our world ) they are often refused admission. I am not saying that this is wrong or right. East Asians that choose to live in the USA just have to accept this or leave. I never understood why they or anyone for that matter would choose to live in usa. USA and the western world always bash China for violating human rights (their definition) and yet USA is more or less constant in war killing children, women, and unborn children. Tortur…… But it seems to be natural for Americans just as it is normal to carry guns and shoot people. Just as humans breathe, Americans kill millions as if it was drinking a cup of coffee. When I confront Americans with this they are not able to grasp it. Usually they react with ‘ what are you talking about’ . At last. What minorities are you talking about in China? Muslims ? Where did you get this information ? Yes from mainstream media ?
Yes, the Western media does seem to be portraying China as it was in the 1980s rather than how it is now, which is quite futuristic in the big cities.

This is actually the modern world in a nutshell. People buy and sell like crazy (partly because of their stressful life), living paycheck to paycheck, end up being hustlers (which makes things more stressful). At the end of the day, half of the things we buy are overpriced garbage. If it's hard to relate how it's like living in China's big cities, imagine yourself would be moving to and working in San Francisco next month - just see how much you can earn based on your skill, and how much the rent is. Just for your reference, I live in Beijing which is basically the northern counterpart of Shanghai. My rent is $1200 just for a studio (only a single room + a small toilet + a small kitchen) and I don't really have as much entertainment and fashion expenses as her. Although I earn quite a lot compared to the average person, but to buy the same apartment, it needs $1.2 million which is more than 80 years of the rent, and more than 20 years of my income without spending. To get married in China, many parents are like control freaks and ask the couple to buy their house. To have kids in China and send them to school, a two-bedroom is pretty much needed which is basically doubled the price. Also now I look at the job market, couldn't even find many positions worker under 72 hours a week. I feel like we trade our life by being working like crazy, just for like put 500 different kinds of jeans and lipsticks on the market, and not even be able to own anything real. TBH back in the 'Soviet' time at least most people can own their own apartment while going home at 5pm, and have actual life.

This is not egoism, however, as often judged to be by many outsiders, but instead many different local village cultures that clashed simultaneously. In many western countries, people would enter the cities in waves which could adapt to the existing city culture and influence it a little before the next wave came. In China you will observe behaviours that require synchronization and tacit agreement much less often that in most other countries.

@@echodone welp, I’ve been in London and Melbourne.. they also face immigrant issue… its common developed city problem.. the advantage from it the immigrant will increase a city population at the same time contribute to economic boom.. for low income, it depend what is your profession, if you want high income then you need change to highly demand career.. in KL junior front end engineer could get around RM5-6k per month.. i think that should be sufficient, with Scheme Rumah Pertama you will get quite good house.. if you ask 5k for graphic designer that doesn’t make any sense!

The only think i believe i'm missing is: With a 330 rent and a 2.4k salary, she can't save money? She spends more on fashion/beauty and on entertainment than on rent? Maybe some cuts are required. In my country rents cost more than 50% of someone's salary and we still manage to save money, we simply don't spend 400$ a month on makeup or whatever.

@@abstractfactory8068 They offer valid points of argument though. Like, if she was really that tight on money, she wouldn’t choose to do a hand spa, of all things. I understand splurging on eating out is okay, but treating yourself further to a hand spa? You can see why her beauty/entertainment costs rack up that high. If she’s happy with that, that’s fine. But she shouldn’t claim to be short on money if she’s treating herself so well.

When filming... how do you get out after them? Do they get off at the second last station and then cameraperson goes ahead first to the final stop and waits to film the person exiting?
@moorboor49773 жыл бұрын
good question. Maybe a second camera man or so?

You got it. The sequences were planned for the camera (she enters building; camera already inside, etc.)
