@hispanicnomad India is fairly walkable, except that the streets are not conducive to walking.

Streets in the US are conducive to walking, except you will have to walk miles before you get anywhere.

Europe has nice streets to walk on, like the US, and simultaneously high-density neighborhoods

@AbhishBanerj I have been to several airports in both India and Europe. All are relatively good and functional.

I don't see this weird desire to claim that somehow one set of airports has to be inferior or superior to another.

[Ashish Bhatia @ashishbhatia]

@Empty_America US national parks are another one

@antoniogm > travel is cheaper and more common

That is the cause.
Expensive activities force you to focus and do preparation in advance.

@hispanicnomad Poland is definitely improving, but don't fall for the GDP trap. Japan has a much better quality of life than Poland. GDP is just an accounting trick that makes Poland and Ireland look much richer than they actually are.

@Empty_America For 100 days in 1991, not a single child was allowed to be born in Shandong province. Everyone was killed via abortion or forced sterilization.

@ifpost47 @healthians should open their full body checkup centers right at the airport Transit terminal in New Delhi.

Flying to Thailand? Our test reports will arrive before your flight lands.

@CatChen Pretty interesting.
I added it to my reading list.

@CatChen Could someone have written this book about Japan in 1950?

[Ashish Bhatia @ashishbhatia]

@CatChen Is the net tax burden still lower than that of the other socialist countries, or is the author @danwwang wrong here?

As China shifted to pro-natal policies in 2015, the Chinese state media showed a more docile position and wrote articles telling women not to care about their husbands’ affairs.

The one-child policy lasted longer than expected, as a million-strong bureaucracy was working on it. Killing the policy would mean killing that bureaucracy as well.

@Empty_America Bangladesh and Pakistan have been captured by putting up local puppets.

It seems like none were available in Iran.
