Nice to see they're getting on top of things at last.

And the retrogrades are doing less than zero to improve this air quality disaster. Been like that for 7 very long years. Same applies to anything and everything environmental here. It is their last priority in the world.

Shorter lives and putrid air.

Keep burning that sugar cane and rice.  There are other ways to prepare the fields but farmers and corporations aren't interested.  This place is done.
