jaschen306@sh.itjust.worksto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Public transit in Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 vs Chengdu, China 🇨🇳 English21·6 days agoI don’t know. Wuxi is significantly smaller than Shenzhen. I think it was around 2 million people at that time.
They didn’t give my parents much of an option. When they did finally take the land away, they did offer to relocate us to another location, but at that time, my family was already struggling from the 2nd loss, my parents just ended up closing the business all together.
jaschen306@sh.itjust.worksto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Public transit in Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 vs Chengdu, China 🇨🇳 English86·6 days agoLies. My family had a factory in Wuxi, China. 2 buildings that were dedicated to dormitories. 4 buildings dedicated to manufacturing promotional products.
We were able to lease the land for 50 years with a 50-year option at the end of the term.
Around year 5, the government decided to turn the main dirt road into a proper road. They took back 1/4 of the land. They just used our area for staging.
About a year after the road was made, they decided to expand the road. They took back now 1/2 of the original land and buildings.
Less than a year after the expansion, they turned the 4 lane road i to a highway. They took the entire land back. My family invested millions of dollars in buildings and infrastructure. We got back pennies on the dollar spent on the investment on compensation.
My family never fully recovered financially.

We have an amazing subway system, but I still own a car. I also own a bicycle and a stand-up electric scooter.
I take whatever transportation is the most convenient. Sometimes it’s the bus. Sometimes, it’s the subway. Sometimes it’s by car. My point is it’s a city infrastructure, not the mode of transportation. If you vote for a government that cares about infrastructure, you will live in the city you want.
My wife puts on her meta raybans and listens to soft music to relax. This is so she doesn’t look like she is disconnected too much with normal headphones.

I had a German exchange student stay with my family. The topic of drinking and driving came up.
Me: ya, if you get caught too many times drinking and driving, the US government puts a breathalyzer tester on your car. You have to blow before you can start it.
What happens to you if you’re caught drinking and driving in Germany?"
Exchange student: That’s illegal.
Me: ya, I know. But what happens when you do it anyways?"
Exchange student: what do you mean? You can’t drink and drive. It’s illegal.
Good thing everyone and everything I know is here on earth.

Neither. It’s basically if someone said to you. Mind your fucking business.
In Taiwan it’s “關你屁事“
Which is mildly translated to “Care about your fart situation”
This is pretty derogatory. I wouldn’t use it unless it’s with your friends messing around.
