    I'm sure there is an official union controlled by The Party. I'm also sure it doesn't do much to protect the workers. But I haven't looked in to it.

    Sounds like Chinese workers could use a union to defend against crap like that.

    Other big solar companies have resorted to tactics like giving yearlong unpaid vacations or 30 percent pay cuts for employees who keep their jobs.

    It's not sarcasm. I genuinely wonder where the water is going if it is not being bottled?

    I wonder where all the water is going.

    He also said that while the company had said in its application that the water would go for bottled water, its reports showed that 94% to 98% of the amount of water diverted monthly was delivered to the old hotel property for “undisclosed purposes,” and that “for months BlueTriton has indicated it has bottled none of the water taken,” while also significantly increasing the volumes extracted.

    “This increase represents significantly more water than has ever been delivered previously,” Nobles wrote. “The hotel and conference facility on the property is not operating, and there is no explanation of where the millions of gallons of water per month are going.”

    I wonder where all the water is going.

    As a European I find it funny you call a 85 m^2 house tiny. It's not big, but it is bigger than my apartment.

    Considering the far right talks about kicking out any one with too much melanin in their skin. I seriously doubt they will accept such a solution.

    In the Danish news on this it was noted that the current production of bio ethanol is not enough to fuel the ship. One step at a time I guess.
