Honestly, at least he/she, is not in it. Have you got any where they are earnestly staring out over the horizon? Always good entertainment. Perhaps we could start a new thread, “wack Taiwan sub-reddit posts”.
McDonald’s is making a killing during this as far as I can tell. The one near my house has a drive-through with a long line of cars every time I drive by. At around meal times, the line of cars is probably a constant 20 or so. I bet the owner is very happy he decided on the drive-through.
Shouldn’t it be obvious? You can cram more virtual meetings in than in-person discussions. No real hard edges between when workday begins and ends. Weekdays are the same as weekends. Your computer is always sitting waiting for you.
The US has serious water security issues. Taiwan makes it so controversial about pumping groundwater but in the US something like 80% of their water comes from groundwater. In fact many cities in the US (for example Houston) has ground sink because of this.
I think the middle of America has the world’s largest underground aquifer which is being rapidly depleted, and there is no plan to do anything about it when it becomes depleted.
Also water is expensive in the US, at least in CA. My parents pay more for water than I do electricity in Taiwan. Houston is probably a better place for TSMC because it isn’t a desert, meaning there’s not really a water shortage (at least as long as groundwater holds out). No idea why someone would build an industry in a desert if water usage is a huge concern.
Probably already payed for by the “volunteers”. Person in charge of clinic should face criminal charges, just this fine alone is laughable and an incitement to corruption.
