Try "Control Z" next time it happens. It tends to return everything that was just erased. Kinda a default restore command.

The wealthy control the government. Some children get an education rich illiterate fuckwads' parents buy their papers that say they are educated.

Apparently what he did was perfectly legal. For some reason, it was not kidnapping, or trafficking, or any sort of immigration law violation. And any governor can do the exact same thing, as many times as they want.

I have to tell myself this, otherwise I can only conclude that federal prosecutors have decided to look the other way.

It is also better in many contexts to give a general benefit to all without means testing because it takes away the perverse incentives to mean the means testing cutoffs. Losing a means tested benefit can in some ways function like an extremely high tax on the poor.

This is the dark side of "democracy": demagogues figure out what the nastiest people in their region want, and propose to give it to them just like they want it. So you end up with an authoritarian directing the power of a large number of people's hatred, ignorance and bigotry until it causes enormous distress and destruction.

Oh, I meant from their point of view. It's okay for Guo to be pulling strings because he hates all the right people, regardless of his nationality.
