A growing reverse migration of workers to remote regions comes amid an economic downturn in China’s megacities, and is transforming so-called lower-tier cities as restaurants and stores cater to returnees and locals with disposable income. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/04/23/asia-pacific/society/china-small-town-boom/ #asiapacific #society #china #cities #jobs

This is quite funny: 'Saudi Arabia's Neom city's "The Line" more like a dot now' after having been cut by 98.6%. From 105 miles long it's now going to be just a mile and a half:

Thirty Cities Blockaded
The message was simple and shared across social media platforms: “The global economy is complicit in genocide. Join participating cities in blocking the arteries of capitalism and jamming the wheels of production.”

In 100 years, one-fourth of China’s urban coastal land could sit below sea level because of a combination of subsidence and sea level rise, a study has found. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/04/19/asia-pacific/society/china-city-sink-study/

Water extraction is sinking nearly half of China’s most populous cities, exacerbated by rapid urban expansion, researchers say. While subsiding land is not a new problem in the country, where Shanghai has sunk three meters over the past century, the amount of land in China resting below sea level could rise from 6% to 26% in the next 100 years. Scientists say the problem will leave 67 million people vulnerable to flooding, compounded by rising sea levels due to climate change. The BBC has more on the study.

Heute ist FREEDOM DAY! Wir haben 83 Menschen aus dem Gefängnis freigekauft, die wegen Fahren ohne Ticket einsaßen.
Wir wollen das nicht mehr machen. Es sollte den Freiheitsfonds nicht geben müssen. Marco Buschmann hat noch immer kein Gesetz zur Entkriminalisierung vorgelegt.

Insgesamt haben wir jetzt 992 Menschen aus dem Knast befreit und zusammen 182 Haftjahre gestrichen. Außerdem hat das dem Staat Kosten in Höhe von 14,2 Millionen Euro gespart. 1/

Alles spricht dafür, den Straftatbestand aus dem Jahr 1935 endlich in die Geschichtsbücher zu verbannen. Wir haben heute Menschen freigekauft aus BaWü, Bayern, Berlin, Hamburg, Hessen, Niedersachsen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Rheinland-Pfalz, Sachsen, Sachsen-Anhalt, Thüringen.

Die Kommunen voran. In Bremen, Bremerhaven, Düsseldorf, Halle, Karlsruhe, Köln, Münster und Wiesbaden werden keine Strafanträge mehr gestellt. Eine Übersicht aller Initiativen gibt es neu hier: https://freiheitsfonds.de/#cities 2/
