"We are going to have to do something very comprehensive," he said. "It means sending people in. It means sending people in to clean it up…there's a point at which we're allowed to go in and that point is rapidly being reached…there's a point at which we will have to do it because we just have to do it for the good of the country."

 

When asked about what threshold must be met before federal action is taken, the President said "carnage and death" is his standard.

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/bari-weiss-shows-how-to-make-a-point-about-your-employers

 

As the now-former New York Times opinion editor Bari Weiss expertly demonstrated, the proper way to stand up to an employer you believe engages in unethical practices is not to tweet about it, but instead put your money where your mouth is and walk out the door before putting your bosses on blast.

 

In a scathing letter made public on her personal website, Weiss charged the New York Times with intentionally allowing her colleagues to bully her and heave anti-Semitic smears her way in formal work channels. Worse yet, Weiss confirmed what we all have seen in real-time, namely that the tail now wags the dog at the New York Times, leading to social media mobs and "woke" staffers dictating decisions far above their pay grade.

 

This is no mere performance. Weiss willingly exited the (flailing) paper of record, leaving the opinion page with nary a senior editor who believes in true liberalism. That is, not the brand of leftism that deems heterodoxy as heretical. (Conservatives such as Ross Douthat, David Brooks, and Bret Stephens remain as columnists.)

Fears of a Hong Kong brain drain are increasing after China moved to tax its citizens’ global income, undermining the financial hub’s appeal to thousands of bankers and other white-collar workers from the mainland.Faced with a tax rate as high as 45% up from about 15% previously Chinese professionals across Hong Kong are considering moving back home to avoid getting squeezed by both the new levy and sky-high living costs in the former British colony, according to interviews with workers and recruiters.The prospect of an exodus has upended expectations that mainland talent would help offset any outflow of locals and foreign expatriates from Hong Hong, many of whom are looking to escape the city’s controversial new national security legislation.While it’s too early to gauge how many people will ultimately move out, professionals of all stripes now have reasons to leave a city that not long ago was viewed as one of the world’s most attractive places to build a career. That risks weighing on Hong Kong’s battered economy and further undermining its status as a premier financial center.

While Chinese authorities revised the nation’s tax rules in January 2019, they only recently disclosed detailed instructions on how to comply – a move that caught many workers off guard.

 

“In a nutshell, my pay is now subject to the high tax rate on the mainland but I need to cover the high cost of living in Hong Kong,” he said. “It’s a double whammy.”
