> In an interview with the People's Daily overseas edition's new media platform Xiakedao on Monday, a scholar joked about cutting off the water supply to Hong Kong.

He doesn't necessarily have the legal authority to require anyone to reduce their water usage without additional legislation, so he's doing what he can do and asking. That seems like a rational thing for him to do in my mind. Do you not think so?
Yeah, there is something weird about that vaccine - before I had it I thought people where stupid not to get vaccinated, since I've had it I'm entirely sick of the utter cretins.
Could just be a case of post hoc ergo propter hoc though.
Yes, and by asking people to get vaccinated more than 50% of the population did it.
Lets not start pretending that fascism is the only viable path simply because they are the only ones who achieve 100% compliance through killing everyone who steps out of line.
Tragedy of the Commons like recycling contamination, opt-in vaccination, littering, or well water depletion. Asking a group of Americans to what's necessary never works because they don't care, are too clueless, too self-absorbed, or too dumb to follow directions. If it were Japan or Singapore, we wouldn't even have this discussion. American "excellence" in failure.

Another self-nominated candidate for a Darwin Award.
(On further reflection: I guess all Darwin Award candidates are self-nominated ....)
