How those, higher up government officials are still, with their HEADS up in the clouds, and not enough of a TIGHT GRASP on the reality of things here!!! Commentary, observations off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
As the legislators questioned the head of the Census Records' Office, that the hikes in costs of everything, hurting the people's livelihoods, asked him how much a bowl of oyster noodle cost, he'd replied "$20", which shocked everybody who was there at the press conference. It seemed, that the higher up officials are, too far, from the ordinary people's lives, that they'd, operated on a, parallel universe, untouched by how the cost of things are causing the people to have a difficult time, making our ends meet, and they're, numbed out too.
Early morning yesterday, close to my house, at the intersection, an elderly woman rode her bicycle, with the recycling materials, the plastic bottles, the bundled up cardboard boxes, in a moment, she'd lost her concentration, and everything fell off her bicycle, I'd helped her collect her items, bundled them up for her tighter, she'd told me thanks, then left.
In actuality, during the outbreaks, in metro Taichung, you could see the middle aged, the elderly individuals, who are, picking up the recycling materials that people had, thrown out on the streets, the Taiwan Avenue before the train station, the underground passages, along with the lobby of the train stations, you can see the homeless, camping out all over the places, this was, a rare sighting for these past few years.
and, here's, what THOSE IDIOTS, running THIS country looked like...

I'd gone to Taipei last month, on the way, I'd, tried finding the restaurants between the Taipei Main Station and the Transitory bus stations on my way back, I saw even more homeless people, sitting on lying down on the sidewalks, it's like this, in the capital city of the country, and, as I'd visited cities like Tainan, Kaohsiung, that, is what I saw too, the shops are either with the locks, or that they're opened, but not enough customers, and if the bigger cities of this country are like so, imagine how much harder it must be, for the even, more distant-region places. There's, the bipolar Taiwanese economy now, the bigger companies, with their order slips piled up higher than the ceilings, the smaller shops, and the economy of ordinary citizens, are worsening, and, they're all, in need of, help, it makes me hopeless, and I'd, felt, helpless of the situation.
The rate of economic growth of Taiwan is performing quite well, but, the prices of everything keeps on getting hiked up higher and higher, widening the gap between the rich and the poor, the wages earned, and the retired, especially for those who didn't have enough retirement insurances, their measly wages, already spent up by inflation, the smaller shops too, are having a hard time; and even AS the government handed out the five-times vouchers, may I ask, how much help, can five-thousand MEASLY dollars, get for the ordinary citizens who are, having it hard, making, their, ends, meet up?
We are on the verge of celebrating National Day, and, people are, faced with the pressures from inflation, as well as the hikes in prices of everything we need, and, this would have more of an impact, compared to Communist China's fighter planes, flying over our borders in the skies; if the government run by Tsai though that the Taiwanese economy will improve, by lowering the alert levels, that people are traveling through the country on this weekend holiday, then, she's, DEAD WRONG! The head of the major departments of the governments, should NOT assume that by handing out the vouchers, that would solve the economy crises.
The head of statistic's "$20N.T.s for a bowl of oyster noodles", only showed, how the officials of Tsai's government are still, high up in their, ivory towers, living on a parallel plane compared to ordinary citizens such as you and I, it's so regrettable, and making us so helpless.
The former American President, Clinton won over Bush stated the issues so clearly, "You fool, the problem is in the economy!" Faced with the impacts from in and out of the country, the changes of the living environments, what's the whole of our country's economy like, these heads of the government offices knew the best. And, those in power, if they can't help the people in their economic wellbeing, they will, lose their, positions as heads of government.
Celebrating National Day, I hope, that for the upcoming years, Taiwan will, have a new air, the lives of ordinary citizens can get better, that, is the right way, and the hard facts.
And so, this government is still, using the five-times vouchers, to BULLSHIT all of us, because the government is too impotent in solving the crises here, and we the people, are still in our states of comatose, and we're, allowing those running the country, to lead us.
