Folks having kids in the street and dying in ambulances thanks to our enlightened President.
As the peasants walked three, five, or ten miles yesterday to try to get to work, the government published the APEC daily menu on the front page of the paper.
One of my colleagues left the office at 5:45pm on Monday evening, walked 200 metres to the car park, got in his car to drive home.
At 7pm, he was just passing the office again.

75 minutes to drive 200 metres.

Another sent a SMS on Tuesday morning that he'd already spent 2 and a half hours driving into work, but was giving up and turning around to go back home.
