So well, Politics are sure happening darlings.
So we have the guy who ran away from North Korea making us understand even more the squalid conditions of North Korea and surprisingly survived after being shot, in bad health, and having tapeworms inside him. It's a surprising story but yet it shows that the Cracks are showing in the foundation of N. Korean society but not all stories are happy. Recently Japan has gotten a few ghost ships. Supposedly they are from North Korea but it is unknown if they are and for what. Supposed theories suggest they are defectors who were unlucky from escaping the horror of North Korea. All 8 people in the ghost ships could've been trying to survive but sadly starved in the ocean but we won't know til further DNA evidence shows us.
And Trump is killing Net Neutrality. Though the hot button Topic of 2015 and once again with death. So the internet regulations are dying. Well, I'm kinda happy. But not fully happy. I guess it's because we don't have the variety of providers for this situation. I can only name 3: Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T. That's not good and with the recent add-ons with the possible fee levels for basic internet kind of sucks when monopolies like this can get away with this. If the FCC really wants to kill Net Neutrality, then President Trump and the Congress should start killing legislation that makes it difficult to start a business because when you rely on saying "The Market will take care of things" It's pretty lazy thinking. I myself am a capitalist but it requires individual people interested in such a product or service idea to make it happen and then all the basic complications of organizing, funding, advertising, etc. It's not easy making a business and Donald Trump should know that because of risk and reward scenarios. If you want to do this, make it easier for the rest of us to have better than this.
OK. Now for the Pope. He went to Myanmar. And boy is that country in trouble. There is the whole persecution of the Royhinga minority to the point of genocide. But it seems everyone is silent and knowing the terrible history of violations of people's right, this isn't too surprising but what is more surprising is one of the politicians who had constantly advocated for peaceful reforms, isn't doing much. Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi hasn't taken actions to stop the persecution and seems to be silently allowing it. It's understandable as to why the Burmese people don't want to accept them since they are living on the boats and non-citizens escaping Muslim countries for freedom but if there is a genocide going on, this is unacceptable! But with the Pope's apathy for the Royhinga people is a let-down for this could've been a good time for showing acts of peace among people of different religious backgrounds working together. (Catholic, Muslim, and Buddhist) But I guess some things just can't be requested.
But in some good news, Prince Harry is Engaged. Engaged to American Actress Meghan Markle, she will be next year, married to the Prince but she herself can't technically be a princess because she is not a royal but the interesting first is that this will be the first time in a long history of Protestantism vs. Catholicism that a royal family member is married to a Catholic especially since her majesty Queen Elizabeth, per the tradition of Henry VIII, is the head of the Church of England though more ceremonially as Republican Power (not the political party, the idea of Power coming from representative voting over a divine right of Kings) has formulated the reforming of English Politics from the days of William and Mary of Orange, onward. None the less, us across the pond will no doubt be watching for the future wedding date.
