Really hard to recall. It was mainly about the “terms” of the daycare extension 😅. Like, it somehow started out that the new teachers were there during normal opening hours and the parents also were there in the afternoon, and nobody knew yet that those new teachers were for the extension offer. So, everyone was confused when the new schedule was introduced. Yeah, convoluten, as I said 😩
For some reason our daycare had the offer to extend opening hours, but with different staff and you had to pay extra. We decided to book it, but then our kids did not want to go, because of the new staff. Mixed in some other random convoluted stuff, did not make any sense at all 😅
I mean, technically you can have swap in the cloud. It’s not fast, but it’s there 😅.
The punishment is having a bad monetary credit score. Like with credit score all over the world. There’s nothing more sinister about the Chinese system than anywhere else, where credit scores are a thing. Granted, credit scores, especially for private persons, are pretty sinister in the first place.
What let to this misconception about social credit in China is that there were people suggesting to extend it to more general behavior. You can find people everywhere suggesting crazy shit. Like just this week a part of the conservative party in Germany suggested using the army against protests, but nobody is drawing the conclusion that Germany is preparing Tiananmen 2.0 in the capital. It was lunatics suggesting it anyway.
Have you read about the punishments in the Wiki article?
Check up on the social credit score
There have been widespread misconceptions in media reports about a unified social credit “score” based on individuals’ behavior, leading to punishments if the score is too low or rewards if the score is high.
It’s R&D, hardware
“Yeah, besides those integral parts of our costs, we’re profitable”
😅.
It’s like a hair dresser saying “If I don’t count the rent of my shop and all the supplies, I’m profitable”.
I mean, would be neat to make something like “I want to fly there, so give me options, check also for rental cars and vacation homes with this-and-those constraints, give me a list and prices” and have it have a go on it. That would really make family vacation easier if I could trust the results.
But, lo and behold, I cannot trust the results at all, so it keeps being a fantasy (which destroys the world in the meantime, like, ecologically and economically). Then again: after destroying everything, no need for family vacation planning, so, yeah?
Sounds like what an expert might say, ty 😅👍
