COVID-19 in China

 Three years ago the COVID-19 pandemic started in Wuhan, China. Not long after the virus spread out all around the world and killed many people while doing it. Since then most countries have adapted and almost overcome the crisis and so was thought China. But unfortunately their regulations and vaccination rates were going lower and lower which made the virus there stronger than ever. China has recently set a new no-covid policy which basically restricted it's citizens to leave their houses. They even have welded shut many apartment entrances with metal to make sure it's residents follow the new rules. But a couple days ago this idea was shown to be dangerous as almost a whole building was burnt down that resulted in deaths of more than 10 people. Since then Chinese citizens have started to protest the extremist ruling of the government and protest other aspects of their politics. 

I think that the Chinese government is not good for it's people. They have shown in the past what they can do if somebody opposes them. The whole world is unfortunately very dependent on China as they are one of the biggest manufacturers of basically anything. I hope that in the protests will make some changes in there because the situation right now is very dangerous. I also think that they should've followed the rest of the world and made vaccines and social distancing mandatory to avoid getting in the situation that they are in now. The zer-covid policy isn't working well as shown and can only cause more suffering than actually helping the problem.

    I thought China had its own vaccine and making something mandatory isn't usually a problem for Chinese authorities. So I don't understand why they introduced the zero-covid policy, which is killing the economy, not just the peoplre

Cryptocurrency and crypto mining

 Cryptocurrency is a payment method that doesn't include banks. It's only available digitally and is stored in special cryptocurrency wallets that only a owner of it has access. The name is taken from encryptions that are used to verify transactions which are made from using them as a payment method. A lot of very advanced coding is required to make it transferrable between different cryptocurrency wallets. Unfortunately cryptocurrencies don't have a stable price which means that a price of a cryptocurrency can change rapidly that can increase or decrease. A good example of a cryptocurrency is Bitcoin which was founded in 2009 as the first cryptocurrency. It's currently the most known in the world and one of the most expensive ones. The original price of Bitcoin was just 0.0008$ and in these days a common price for it is over 40 thousand dollars. A method of getting cryptocurrency without buying it is called crypto mining. Crypto mining is a process that uses a computer...

Inappropriate KFC promotion

  On the 9th of November in Germany there is an anniversary of the Kristallnacht - the night in 1938 where Nazi-led attacks destroyed over 90 Jewish-owned businesses. On this day there are many memorial events reflecting Nazi Germany and their actions in WW2. Every person which had the KFC app installed or had other notifications from KFC was sent a message saying  "It's memorial day for Kristallnacht! Treat yourself with more tender cheese on your crispy chicken. Now at KFCheese!". An hour after this event KFC removed the message, apologised for it and blamed the automatic system which they use for sending notifications for holidays or other events. I think that this is sort of a funny mishap but not the historical event of course. This also shows how companies such as KFC use special occasions to make some extra money. They make promotions or ads which make more people to buy their products because it's a special day or maybe a good deal. I think that they shouldn...

Crimean Bridge

 On 8th of October it has been reported that the bridge in Crimea which is connecting Russia to Ukraine has been partially blown up. This explosion made damage to one of the lanes of the bridge causing it to partially collapse into the water. Train tracks that were also part of the bridge have also suffered substancial damage. This explosion is said to come from a bomb that has been put into a truck that was on the bridge. There are speculations that it was done by Ukrainian soldiers. This bridge was a crucial part of transporting materials, ammunition and food to Russian soldiers and with this being cut off Ukrainians have a much better chance of winning the war that has been going on since february 2022.   I think that this event is very important for Ukraine and it will get them closer to fight off the invaders. Hopefully before the bridge is repaired Ukrainian soldiers will make great progress on the war. I also think that this situation is funny because it happened o...
