- figure out the structure of the economy? Approach firms that have strong confidence going forward and enough work to match. Look at the companies that are too big to fail, get massive subsidies to keep them going, have strong influence over government policy, etc...

Pay-to-play, sometimes pay-for-play or P2P, is a phrase used for a variety of situations in which money is exchanged for services or the privilege to engage in certain activities. The common denominator of all forms of pay-to-play is that one must pay to "get in the game", with the sports analogy frequently arising.[1]

A chartered company is an association with investors or shareholders that is incorporated and granted rights (often exclusive rights) by royal charter (or similar instrument of government) for the purpose of trade, exploration, and/or colonization.[1]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chartered_company
A joint-stock company is a business entity in which shares of the company's stock can be bought & sold by shareholders. Each shareholder owns company stock in proportion, evidenced by their shares (certificates of ownership).[1] Shareholders are able to transfer their shares to others without any effects to the continued existence of the company.[2]
In modern-day corporate law, the existence of a joint-stock company is often synonymous with incorporation (possession of legal personality separate from shareholders) and limited liability (shareholders are liable for the company's debts only to the value of the money they have invested in the company). Therefore, joint-stock companies are commonly known as corporations or limited companies.
Some jurisdictions still provide the possibility of registering joint-stock companies without limited liability. In the United Kingdom and in other countries that have adopted its model of company law, they are known as unlimited companies. In the United States, they are known simply as joint-stock companies.

- cold call/ask around. Focus in on businesses that look like they have high traffic (online as well as in the real world) as they'll more likely need more help. Traffic isn't a necessary guarantee of sales but it's much more likely that they'll have sales obviously and you can always walk in/around their offices or retail outlets to see whether or not they're converting traffic into sales too

- buy, rent, or build a job submission bot. The irony is that recruiters don't like this but ironically they often rely heavily on automation themselves. Moreover, if you get sick of applying it's the only real option which makes any sense especially as many employers just don't care to return calls and based on my personal experience end up hiring whoever they most like anyway (I've been on both sides of the equation so I've seen this enough times)

- make your own job by starting your own business. Don't try to replicate what larger organisations do with more capital. You'll likely just go bust if you try to do this based on what I've seen previously as the people with most capital often try to capture the market first, engage in anti-competitve practices, force you to go bust while they continue to make money, etc... Try to find a niche whenever you can...

- network via online social media/professional as well as offline professional networking groups. The frustrating thing about these situations is that people only generally want to network with one another if there's something that they can offer one another whether that may be a skill, asset, or money. For this reason it sometimes feels like a bunch of scammers trying to take advantage of another group of scammers at these meetings? I've actually met with people who actually went to jail after trying to network from these meetings

- network with private as well as government job agencies and recruiters. They have existing relationships and understanding of their markets. Note, executive recruitment and high end recruitment is very different from low end of the market. The upper end is often highly secretive so they can job jump while down below they often have good relationships with local employers so as long you're not too fussy or have health issues it shouldn't be rediculously difficult to find a job unless the economy has tanked
- if you don't have any major skills create a job for yourself by flipping assets (this can include anything from electronics, financial assets, collectibles, etc... It's vital that it must hold or appreciate in value though as it becomes too difficult to make a profit and deal with depreciating asset prices at the same time). This is especially the case if we're talking about a low job availablity but high asset availability and turnover economy. Obviously, you'll be limited to whatever capital you have. Another thing to note is that a lot of goods tend to only be accesible via specific channels. For instance, in the contract market you'll notice that tenders only tend to only accessible to people who were or are current former insiders. It's the exact same with the assets as well based on what I've see as well. In general, it's easier to start at the top and create your own business then it is to come from down below and grow a business

- if you can find access to hard assets you'll notice that heaps of stuff need to be repaired so develop skills in this area. Ironically, the education and technical training world don't really equip you to deal with this. I've repaired heaps of stuff for personal stuff to save money, sometimes as a service, and sometimes even to sell since I was younger. If you were interested in this post you'll probably be interested in my other repair blog posts:

Pay-to-play, sometimes pay-for-play or P2P, is a phrase used for a variety of situations in which money is exchanged for services or the privilege to engage in certain activities. The common denominator of all forms of pay-to-play is that one must pay to "get in the game", with the sports analogy frequently arising.[1]

A chartered company is an association with investors or shareholders that is incorporated and granted rights (often exclusive rights) by royal charter (or similar instrument of government) for the purpose of trade, exploration, and/or colonization.[1]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chartered_company
A joint-stock company is a business entity in which shares of the company's stock can be bought & sold by shareholders. Each shareholder owns company stock in proportion, evidenced by their shares (certificates of ownership).[1] Shareholders are able to transfer their shares to others without any effects to the continued existence of the company.[2]
In modern-day corporate law, the existence of a joint-stock company is often synonymous with incorporation (possession of legal personality separate from shareholders) and limited liability (shareholders are liable for the company's debts only to the value of the money they have invested in the company). Therefore, joint-stock companies are commonly known as corporations or limited companies.
Some jurisdictions still provide the possibility of registering joint-stock companies without limited liability. In the United Kingdom and in other countries that have adopted its model of company law, they are known as unlimited companies. In the United States, they are known simply as joint-stock companies.

- cold call/ask around. Focus in on businesses that look like they have high traffic (online as well as in the real world) as they'll more likely need more help. Traffic isn't a necessary guarantee of sales but it's much more likely that they'll have sales obviously and you can always walk in/around their offices or retail outlets to see whether or not they're converting traffic into sales too

- buy, rent, or build a job submission bot. The irony is that recruiters don't like this but ironically they often rely heavily on automation themselves. Moreover, if you get sick of applying it's the only real option which makes any sense especially as many employers just don't care to return calls and based on my personal experience end up hiring whoever they most like anyway (I've been on both sides of the equation so I've seen this enough times)

- look at franchises. Obviously, the big scam here is that often they will provide work for as long as you pay your franchising company but not much support after that

- make your own job by starting your own business. Don't try to replicate what larger organisations do with more capital. You'll likely just go bust if you try to do this based on what I've seen previously as the people with most capital often try to capture the market first, engage in anti-competitve practices, force you to go bust while they continue to make money, etc... Try to find a niche whenever you can...

- network via online social media/professional as well as offline professional networking groups. The frustrating thing about these situations is that people only generally want to network with one another if there's something that they can offer one another whether that may be a skill, asset, or money. For this reason it sometimes feels like a bunch of scammers trying to take advantage of another group of scammers at these meetings? I've actually met with people who actually went to jail after trying to network from these meetings

- network with private as well as government job agencies and recruiters. They have existing relationships and understanding of their markets. Note, executive recruitment and high end recruitment is very different from low end of the market. The upper end is often highly secretive so they can job jump while down below they often have good relationships with local employers so as long you're not too fussy or have health issues it shouldn't be rediculously difficult to find a job unless the economy has tanked
- if you don't have any major skills create a job for yourself by flipping assets (this can include anything from electronics, financial assets, collectibles, etc... It's vital that it must hold or appreciate in value though as it becomes too difficult to make a profit and deal with depreciating asset prices at the same time). This is especially the case if we're talking about a low job availablity but high asset availability and turnover economy. Obviously, you'll be limited to whatever capital you have. Another thing to note is that a lot of goods tend to only be accesible via specific channels. For instance, in the contract market you'll notice that tenders only tend to only accessible to people who were or are current former insiders. It's the exact same with the assets as well based on what I've see as well. In general, it's easier to start at the top and create your own business then it is to come from down below and grow a business

- if you can find access to hard assets you'll notice that heaps of stuff need to be repaired so develop skills in this area. Ironically, the education and technical training world don't really equip you to deal with this. I've repaired heaps of stuff for personal stuff to save money, sometimes as a service, and sometimes even to sell since I was younger. If you were interested in this post you'll probably be interested in my other repair blog posts:

Other tell tail signs are scrubbed or serial numbers that make no sense, people who don't know the history or anything about the things that they're selling, forged documentation, people who say they refuse to sell stuff to people associated with law enforcement or intelligence agencies or try to run background checks on you before selling, is damaged in an unusual or convenient way, missing/broken parts like remote controls from televisions or stereo systems, etc...

Capitalism has reinvented itself many times, from laissez-faire to Keynesianism to the Reagan-Thatcher era. But if the 2008 crisis ended the old model, what replaces it? Bloomberg Opinion's John Authers and Rockefeller International's Ruchir Sharma reveal why today's system feels broken for some: concentrated power, constant bailouts, weak productivity, and shrinking opportunity. They explore whether smarter government, deregulation, and rising global examples like those in Switzerland, Taiwan, and Vietnam can point toward a workable "Capitalism 4.0."

Some of the most difficult parts is trying to figure out lies from truth in an automated fashion otherwise you end up with a poisoned data pool, inferences, thoughts, policies, formulas, etc...

'Your borrowing power will reduce'
Ms Megginson said, in practice, that means your "borrowing power will reduce by a maximum of 10 times the value of annual HECS repayments", which is nothing to sniff at.
"So, if your annual payments amount to $5000, your borrowing power will be reduced by $50,000," she said.
"But you could balance this out in other ways. If you know you have a HECS debt to include on your application, then working to pay off other debts like a credit card, personal loan, buy now pay later or a car loan could add some borrowing power back to your application."
The financial expert said that student loan debt isn't the only debt you should worry about when getting a mortgage, you also have to consider credit card debt.
"Many people don't realise that a credit card limit, not a credit card balance, impacts your loan application," she said.
"If you have a credit card limit of $10,000 but you only owe $2000, you could reduce your limit to $5000 and immediately boost your borrowing power.
"Education is key. Knowing how the bank reviews your application can help you take the steps you need to make your loan application as attractive as possible."

- if you optimise everything, have time, have luck on your side, etc... it's easy to see how making huge amounts of money is possible for people who have acess to capital. By the time you've figured out all this and have made it I guess you change and it's easy to see how so many of them become cycnical or become distance from reality in spite of many parts of society playing a similar game?

- Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA)'s three-year investigation into the Senegal-Gambia-China rosewood traffic uncovered unprecedented evidence on a series of major forest crimes. EIA's new report, Cashing-In On Chaos, which focuses on Senegal and The Gambia, conclusively establishes links between timber trafficking controlled by Senegalese armed rebels; the decade-long smuggling of an estimated 1.6 million trees from Senegal to The Gambia; and the illegal re-export of the disappearing rosewood trees to China, in violation of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).

- Is the Trump Administration finally coming around to the notion that disarming North Korea's nuclear arsenal is never going to happen? Well, at least not while the Kims are still in power.
Since President Trump started his 'bromance' with Kim Jong Un, which briefly reemerged following the Dear Leader's purported brush with illness, corners of the intelligence community have been grumbling to the press about how the president was being played by both Kim and his chief benefactor, President Xi and China, which accounts for more than 90% of North Korea's foreign trade, and protects the Hermit Kingdom from harsher penalties and sanctions via China's veto power at the security council.

- But, as is well-known, governments and big corporations tend to use the breakdown of normalcy to push their own agendas. The Canadian writer, Naomi Klein, has documented several cases of this in her excellent work The Shock Doctrine. On the inside flap of the book, she points out the theory that drives such action: "Only a crisis — actual or perceived — produces real change. When that crisis occurs, the actions that are taken depend on the ideas that are lying around."
The man who uttered those words was the late Milton Friedman, whom Klein calls "one of the original shock doctors".

- Unemployment shot up in the month of May to … 7.1 per cent? Hang on. That doesn't seem terribly bad. Aren't we supposed to be in the middle of a crisis of the scale of the Great Depression? What's going on?
The answer is in how unemployment is measured. Lots of Australians have stopped looking for work. And that means they don't get counted as unemployed.
As the next graph shows, Aussies dropped out of the labour force at a massive rate in April and May. Our labour force participation rate plummeted – falling far lower than it was during the 2008 Global Financial Crisis.
Labour force participation matters. If you're not looking for work, you don't get counted as unemployed. That makes sense – we don't aim to count every retired person, full-time student or stay-at-home parent as unemployed. To get counted as unemployed you have to "actively look for work."
What would happen if we tweak the statistics slightly?
As the next graph shows, if we pretend the labour force participation rate did not fall, and mark everyone who lost their job as unemployed, the Australian unemployment rate would have been over 11 per cent in May.

ROYAL OAK, Mich. – It's not often you hear of an animal being adopted by another animal, but that's exactly what has happened at the Detroit Zoo with a baby chimpanzee born back in January.
Zane was born on January 7, 2020, to Chiana, 26, who is also the mother of 6-year-old Zuhura. But soon after Zane's birth, Chiana became very ill and was unable to care for her newborn. Chiana was treated by veterinarians and recovered, but after she recovered, she showed no interest in caring for her little son.
The Detroit Zoo's primate care staff stepped in to give Zane 24-hour care, which included carrying him constantly, as a mother chimp would, and teaching him to take milk from a bottle.
Over the five months, Zane lived in the Great Apes of Harambee building instead of a nursery so he could be around the other chimpanzees. During this time, the chimpanzees could see him up close through the mesh of their enclosure.
"Every day, the other chimpanzees could see us caring for him," said Carter. "He was always near the other chimps even though they physically could not be together."
To prepare Zane for life with the other chimpanzees, the Detroit Zoological Society consulted with the Association of Zoos & Aquariums' Chimpanzee Species Survival Plan and other zoos that have integrated rejected infants into social groups.
The carefully planned process began with observing potential surrogate moms in the Detroit Zoo's 11-member chimpanzee troop and their responses to Zane. Mother-daughter duo Trixi, 50, and Tanya, 29, both adult females in the troop, showed interest almost immediately.

"Trixi is a confident and high-ranking matriarch," said Carter. "She was a wonderful mother to her daughter Tanya, and when we were considering who could be the best new mother for Zane, she stood out. She was very interested in being near him whenever she could and seemed quite taken with him."
From their first physical interaction, it was clear that 5-month-old Zane had found his new adoptive family.
"Zane approached and hugged Trixi and Tanya the minute he had the chance," said Carter. "Trixi is Zane's primary caregiver, while Tanya, who has never had a baby of her own, loves playing with Zane, napping with him, and carrying him for short periods."
Carter added, "We're incredibly proud of our devoted primate staff for doing such an amazing job of caring for Zane and preparing him and his new adoptive family to thrive together."
Baby Zane is now living with the troop at the Great Apes of Harambee at the Detroit Zoo. The chimpanzees who live at the Detroit Zoo have a fission-fusion dynamic, which means they have the freedom to choose who they want to spend their time with at any given moment. As with all animals at the Detroit Zoo, they also have the choice to go where they please in the habitat, so Zane might not always be visible. The multi-acre indoor-outdoor Great Apes of Harambee habitat is home to 12 chimpanzees.

- In a report by the European Commission released in January, investigators found weak protection for intellectual property and trade secrets was causing "irreparable harm to European businesses".
Besides trade relations, China has plenty of reasons to work on IP protection for its own good, as copycats will be squeezed out of the market while real innovators survive.
Domestic technology developers and home-grown consumer brands are now seen as a lynchpin to China's efforts to climb the global value chain, as policymakers seek to reduce its reliance on old-economy industries, after the economy expanded just 6.1 per cent last year – its slowest pace in nearly three decades, before the slump last quarter.
"The biggest impetus for better IP protection in China is coming from the Chinese companies themselves," said Clark. "As they develop and get new technology and ideas and trademarks themselves, they can suddenly see a value in having a proper system to protect IP."

Google is facing a $5 billion class action lawsuit over tracking Chrome users — even in incognito mode.
The lawsuit, which was filed in the federal court in San Jose, California on Tuesday, accuses the company of collecting information about what people view and what pages they visit online despite claiming incognito mode is private, Reuters reports.
The complaint further alleges gathering data through Google Analytics, Google Ad Manager, and various mobile apps helps the company learn about users' closest contacts, hobbies, dieting habits, and even the "most intimate and potentially embarrassing things" they search for online.
Google "cannot continue to engage in the covert and unauthorized data collection from virtually every American with a computer or phone," the lawsuit argues. The complaint seeks compensation of at least $5,000 for violations of federal wiretapping and California privacy laws for the "millions" of people who've used incognito mode since June 1, 2016.

- Since late October 2019, the US has been redeploying troops to the oil fields controlled by Kurdish forces in eastern Syria, in a reversal of President Donald Trump's earlier order to withdraw all troops from the Arab country.
The Pentagon claims the move aims to "protect" the fields and facilities from possible attacks by the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group. That claim came although Trump had earlier suggested that Washington sought economic interests in controlling the oil fields.
Syria, which has not authorized American military presence in its territory, has condemned the US, saying it is "plundering" the country's oil.
The presence of US forces in eastern Syria has particularly irked the civilians, and local residents have on several occasions stopped American military convoys entering the region.

- I'm going to dare to offer some advice. This is the time to go to the underground. I'm thinking of Dostoyevsky's short novel, Notes from Underground.
The employees of that prison hospital had become so inured they treated their poor prisoners like things. And seeing the way they treated one who had just died, the one on the bed alongside tells them: "Enough! He too had a mother!"
We need to tell ourselves this often: that poor person had a mother who raised him lovingly. Later in life we don't know what happened. But it helps to think of that love he once received through his mother's hope.
We disempower the poor. We don't give them the right to dream of their mothers. They don't know what affection is; many live on drugs. And to see them can help us to discover the piety, which points towards God and towards our neighbour.
Go down into the underground, and pass from the hyper-virtual, fleshless world to the suffering flesh of the poor. This is the conversion we have to undergo. And if we don't start there, then there will be no conversion.

Capitalism has reinvented itself many times, from laissez-faire to Keynesianism to the Reagan-Thatcher era. But if the 2008 crisis ended the old model, what replaces it? Bloomberg Opinion's John Authers and Rockefeller International's Ruchir Sharma reveal why today's system feels broken for some: concentrated power, constant bailouts, weak productivity, and shrinking opportunity. They explore whether smarter government, deregulation, and rising global examples like those in Switzerland, Taiwan, and Vietnam can point toward a workable "Capitalism 4.0."

'Your borrowing power will reduce'
Ms Megginson said, in practice, that means your "borrowing power will reduce by a maximum of 10 times the value of annual HECS repayments", which is nothing to sniff at.
"So, if your annual payments amount to $5000, your borrowing power will be reduced by $50,000," she said.
"But you could balance this out in other ways. If you know you have a HECS debt to include on your application, then working to pay off other debts like a credit card, personal loan, buy now pay later or a car loan could add some borrowing power back to your application."
The financial expert said that student loan debt isn't the only debt you should worry about when getting a mortgage, you also have to consider credit card debt.
"Many people don't realise that a credit card limit, not a credit card balance, impacts your loan application," she said.
"If you have a credit card limit of $10,000 but you only owe $2000, you could reduce your limit to $5000 and immediately boost your borrowing power.
"Education is key. Knowing how the bank reviews your application can help you take the steps you need to make your loan application as attractive as possible."

Success in one is not a guarantee of success in the other.

- if you optimise everything, have time, have luck on your side, etc... it's easy to see how making huge amounts of money is possible for people who have acess to capital. By the time you've figured out all this and have made it I guess you change and it's easy to see how so many of them become cycnical or become distance from reality in spite of many parts of society playing a similar game?

- Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA)'s three-year investigation into the Senegal-Gambia-China rosewood traffic uncovered unprecedented evidence on a series of major forest crimes. EIA's new report, Cashing-In On Chaos, which focuses on Senegal and The Gambia, conclusively establishes links between timber trafficking controlled by Senegalese armed rebels; the decade-long smuggling of an estimated 1.6 million trees from Senegal to The Gambia; and the illegal re-export of the disappearing rosewood trees to China, in violation of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).

- Is the Trump Administration finally coming around to the notion that disarming North Korea's nuclear arsenal is never going to happen? Well, at least not while the Kims are still in power.
Since President Trump started his 'bromance' with Kim Jong Un, which briefly reemerged following the Dear Leader's purported brush with illness, corners of the intelligence community have been grumbling to the press about how the president was being played by both Kim and his chief benefactor, President Xi and China, which accounts for more than 90% of North Korea's foreign trade, and protects the Hermit Kingdom from harsher penalties and sanctions via China's veto power at the security council.

- But, as is well-known, governments and big corporations tend to use the breakdown of normalcy to push their own agendas. The Canadian writer, Naomi Klein, has documented several cases of this in her excellent work The Shock Doctrine. On the inside flap of the book, she points out the theory that drives such action: "Only a crisis — actual or perceived — produces real change. When that crisis occurs, the actions that are taken depend on the ideas that are lying around."
The man who uttered those words was the late Milton Friedman, whom Klein calls "one of the original shock doctors".

- Unemployment shot up in the month of May to … 7.1 per cent? Hang on. That doesn't seem terribly bad. Aren't we supposed to be in the middle of a crisis of the scale of the Great Depression? What's going on?
The answer is in how unemployment is measured. Lots of Australians have stopped looking for work. And that means they don't get counted as unemployed.
As the next graph shows, Aussies dropped out of the labour force at a massive rate in April and May. Our labour force participation rate plummeted – falling far lower than it was during the 2008 Global Financial Crisis.
Labour force participation matters. If you're not looking for work, you don't get counted as unemployed. That makes sense – we don't aim to count every retired person, full-time student or stay-at-home parent as unemployed. To get counted as unemployed you have to "actively look for work."
What would happen if we tweak the statistics slightly?
As the next graph shows, if we pretend the labour force participation rate did not fall, and mark everyone who lost their job as unemployed, the Australian unemployment rate would have been over 11 per cent in May.

- That appearing in these shows is associated with apparent suicide (and suicide and suicide), addiction, self-harm and mental illness needn't worry the executives who are just happy they can rake it in with a steady stream of content, nor the audience who so loves to gawk. Attention is good, our economy runs on it. But the stress of being looked at even causes zoo animals to self-harm.

ROYAL OAK, Mich. – It's not often you hear of an animal being adopted by another animal, but that's exactly what has happened at the Detroit Zoo with a baby chimpanzee born back in January.
Zane was born on January 7, 2020, to Chiana, 26, who is also the mother of 6-year-old Zuhura. But soon after Zane's birth, Chiana became very ill and was unable to care for her newborn. Chiana was treated by veterinarians and recovered, but after she recovered, she showed no interest in caring for her little son.
The Detroit Zoo's primate care staff stepped in to give Zane 24-hour care, which included carrying him constantly, as a mother chimp would, and teaching him to take milk from a bottle.
Over the five months, Zane lived in the Great Apes of Harambee building instead of a nursery so he could be around the other chimpanzees. During this time, the chimpanzees could see him up close through the mesh of their enclosure.
"Every day, the other chimpanzees could see us caring for him," said Carter. "He was always near the other chimps even though they physically could not be together."
To prepare Zane for life with the other chimpanzees, the Detroit Zoological Society consulted with the Association of Zoos & Aquariums' Chimpanzee Species Survival Plan and other zoos that have integrated rejected infants into social groups.
The carefully planned process began with observing potential surrogate moms in the Detroit Zoo's 11-member chimpanzee troop and their responses to Zane. Mother-daughter duo Trixi, 50, and Tanya, 29, both adult females in the troop, showed interest almost immediately.

"Trixi is a confident and high-ranking matriarch," said Carter. "She was a wonderful mother to her daughter Tanya, and when we were considering who could be the best new mother for Zane, she stood out. She was very interested in being near him whenever she could and seemed quite taken with him."
From their first physical interaction, it was clear that 5-month-old Zane had found his new adoptive family.
"Zane approached and hugged Trixi and Tanya the minute he had the chance," said Carter. "Trixi is Zane's primary caregiver, while Tanya, who has never had a baby of her own, loves playing with Zane, napping with him, and carrying him for short periods."
Carter added, "We're incredibly proud of our devoted primate staff for doing such an amazing job of caring for Zane and preparing him and his new adoptive family to thrive together."
Baby Zane is now living with the troop at the Great Apes of Harambee at the Detroit Zoo. The chimpanzees who live at the Detroit Zoo have a fission-fusion dynamic, which means they have the freedom to choose who they want to spend their time with at any given moment. As with all animals at the Detroit Zoo, they also have the choice to go where they please in the habitat, so Zane might not always be visible. The multi-acre indoor-outdoor Great Apes of Harambee habitat is home to 12 chimpanzees.

- In a report by the European Commission released in January, investigators found weak protection for intellectual property and trade secrets was causing "irreparable harm to European businesses".
Besides trade relations, China has plenty of reasons to work on IP protection for its own good, as copycats will be squeezed out of the market while real innovators survive.
Domestic technology developers and home-grown consumer brands are now seen as a lynchpin to China's efforts to climb the global value chain, as policymakers seek to reduce its reliance on old-economy industries, after the economy expanded just 6.1 per cent last year – its slowest pace in nearly three decades, before the slump last quarter.
"The biggest impetus for better IP protection in China is coming from the Chinese companies themselves," said Clark. "As they develop and get new technology and ideas and trademarks themselves, they can suddenly see a value in having a proper system to protect IP."

- He is disillusioned, too, about what he sees as an underbelly of racism in Australia that has bubbled up during this crisis but was always there. There have been reports of attacks on Chinese Australians and he wishes they would spark a deeper discussion.

Google is facing a $5 billion class action lawsuit over tracking Chrome users — even in incognito mode.
The lawsuit, which was filed in the federal court in San Jose, California on Tuesday, accuses the company of collecting information about what people view and what pages they visit online despite claiming incognito mode is private, Reuters reports.
The complaint further alleges gathering data through Google Analytics, Google Ad Manager, and various mobile apps helps the company learn about users' closest contacts, hobbies, dieting habits, and even the "most intimate and potentially embarrassing things" they search for online.
Google "cannot continue to engage in the covert and unauthorized data collection from virtually every American with a computer or phone," the lawsuit argues. The complaint seeks compensation of at least $5,000 for violations of federal wiretapping and California privacy laws for the "millions" of people who've used incognito mode since June 1, 2016.

- Since late October 2019, the US has been redeploying troops to the oil fields controlled by Kurdish forces in eastern Syria, in a reversal of President Donald Trump's earlier order to withdraw all troops from the Arab country.
The Pentagon claims the move aims to "protect" the fields and facilities from possible attacks by the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group. That claim came although Trump had earlier suggested that Washington sought economic interests in controlling the oil fields.
Syria, which has not authorized American military presence in its territory, has condemned the US, saying it is "plundering" the country's oil.
The presence of US forces in eastern Syria has particularly irked the civilians, and local residents have on several occasions stopped American military convoys entering the region.

- I'm going to dare to offer some advice. This is the time to go to the underground. I'm thinking of Dostoyevsky's short novel, Notes from Underground.
The employees of that prison hospital had become so inured they treated their poor prisoners like things. And seeing the way they treated one who had just died, the one on the bed alongside tells them: "Enough! He too had a mother!"
We need to tell ourselves this often: that poor person had a mother who raised him lovingly. Later in life we don't know what happened. But it helps to think of that love he once received through his mother's hope.
We disempower the poor. We don't give them the right to dream of their mothers. They don't know what affection is; many live on drugs. And to see them can help us to discover the piety, which points towards God and towards our neighbour.
Go down into the underground, and pass from the hyper-virtual, fleshless world to the suffering flesh of the poor. This is the conversion we have to undergo. And if we don't start there, then there will be no conversion.
