My soul is sick, but thus far my body lives. Glad Philip DeFranco is alive, well, (and in my selfish view) producing content.
As for Hong Kong, yes it is terrible, but does not surprise me. China is a very old civilization that has for centuries (far longer than the U.S. has been autonomous) demanded loyalty, conformity and unquestioning service. Since the return of Hong Kong to China (in 1997), I have felt that what is happening now would be China's end game. Why did it take so long? China always plays the long/generational game. They are patient, pragmatic and practical. Will what is happening now hurt Hong Kong 's economy, sure it will. However, before bemoaning China's financial future remember who makes almost all of our medical supplies, medication, clothing, tech and now even big blockbuster movies. They will be just fine. As for freedom and the state of this planet, those pages have not yet been inked in.
