Some have increased while other have decreased. The total number of crimes have increased by my own experience. Many of the crimes are not reported. It is the experience of other r…

How did she become the interim mayor among all the candidates? Power brokers such as Willie Brown. Powerful families in SF?

Given that the crimes in SF have spiked during Covid, a flat police budget is de facto defunding [7]. To keep up with the crimes, police budget should increase proportionally as we…

London Breed also violated ethics seriously several times [5]. She asked the governor to release her brother who killed his own girlfriend [6]. [5] https://sfethics.org/ethics/2021…

London Breed is a bad mayor for SF. She defunded the police by $120 million during the movement [1] while she spent $12.4 million on her own personal security detail [2]. And now s…

As a Canadian citizen myself, I firmly urge fellow Canadians to have their own independent thinking and policies. Canada should not be manipulated by foreign politicians. This is b…

Before high-tech industry even existed, gold was expensive. Clearly, the demand from high-tech industry did not make it expensive.

Bitcoin is no more speculation than gold. Gold has its price. It is rarely used (I have not seen anyone exchanging value using gold). It cannot be eaten, drunk, lived in, or used a…

I have had some experience on Taobao and Tmall. Taobao is for C2C (customers to customers) while Tmall is b2c (business to customers). Tmall has better quality in general (the bran…
