China is the pro-business paradise that US conservatives dream of.
You just can’t imagine how bad it is. It smells (and tastes) like soot outside. These are the highest readings ever. It got as high as 800 a couple of weeks ago (200 is considered extremely unhealthy). This week, we’re back down in the 400-500 range.
There have only been, say, 7 days of pollution this bad so far this year. When the wind/rain comes, the sky is blue for a couple of days. And then the car exhaust kicks back in.
No wonder everyone smokes here. The puffs taken through filters are sometimes as clean as it gets.
