The videos coming out of China show that the simmering rage has now reached a boil. What triggered it? Sure there's the growing frustration with gratuitous Zero Covid lockdowns, but the timing of the World Cup is revealing. In live broadcasts, Chinese citizens saw large crowds
@mfl_normal @MsMelChen Some of these people protesting will get Covid; some will get long Covid. But just as with the George Floyd protests, sometimes the injustice is so great, it is worth risking your health
@mfl_normal @MsMelChen Your children missed school. But they were not killed by the police. You were not locked into your house or threatened with prison. Try to get some sense of proportion. We have all suffered in one way or another
@tdietterich @mfl_normal @MsMelChen It’s interesting that the good professor would mock the incredible learning loss of tens of millions. Not his problem. Today, anyhow.
@SeanMcCarthyAZ @mfl_normal @MsMelChen I take the learning loss very seriously. I’ve been advocating for a nationwide summer school to help kids catch up. I believe the lost ground can be regained, but we need federal funds to make it happen
