Every single day on TV and in print, there are favorable articles about President Yoon and article attacking and insinuating corruption and wrongdoing by his political opponents.
Cases against his political opponents are started right away with search warrants and arrests and last years, while cases against conservative politicians are delayed with almost no search warrants or arrests.
Smells fishy to me.
Most probably to attract interest in Twitter and generate money to offset losses incurred by acquisition.
Maybe also have a histrionic personality disorder (mental health condition marked by unstable emotions, a distorted self-image and an overwhelming desire to be noticed).
I had treatment for kidney stones and was scolded by my doctor for skipping my bladder cancer exam for the past ten years.
So I underwent the test today and they found one small tumor which needs to be removed by surgery. It could be benign or malignant. After it is removed, tests will be conducted.
Lucky that the doctor insisted on the cystoscopy to look at my bladder. Unluckily, the cancer returned after over 23 years.
Hopefully, no more tumors for another two decades.
Luckily, I live in South Korea where there is national medical insurance and medical care is affordable. The government keeps raising premiums and lowering the income threshold requiring people to make insurance payments.
Previously, if annual income was below around $30,000, you could be covered by your spouse's or children's medical insurance. They lowered it to around $16,000.
Medical costs have greatly increased during the past few years. Some procedures like MRIs and others have rocketed and many hospitals/clinics seem to be abusing the system.
How much does the average person spend on medical services?
Googled it.
"The US spends around $12,530 a year per person on healthcare. Canada spends $6,413 less per person each year than the US. South Koreans spent approximately $3,500 per capita on health."
Before the district elections in May, or around there, big corporations pledged to invest billions of dollars into Korea to create jobs and growth in order to support the conservative party candidates and it worked again. Seems to be a time-honored tradition.
But only Samsung has announced plans to invest billions in new semiconductor plants.
The rest?
Nearly half of big firms have yet to set up 2023 investment plans: poll
The article said, "Of the companies that have established 2023 plans, 67.3 percent said their 2023 investments will be similar to this year's levels. Nearly 14 percent replied they will increase investments next year, while 19.2 percent answered they will cut back on their investments".
I noticed that about three gas stations and around five car repair shops have closed in Seoul. There are plenty more, but it seems to be a trend as I also see a lot of electric vehicles, which have a different color license plate.
The Seoul City government has been giving out low interest loans to develop real estate in the old parts of Seoul with old and worn out houses and buildings.
Several neighborhoods have been renovated with new buildings and apartments.
Even some of the old houses and building in my neighborhood have been turned into condominiums, townhouses and apartments.
These were built when property prices in Seoul were rapidly rising. Now, they are rapidly falling.
One of the studio apartment buildings charges too much for rent and has been completely vacant for a year now. I wonder if the owner will ever decide to lower the rent. Probably rich enough to wait it out indefinitely.
Lots of vacant apartments and office space in Seoul these days. Some have started to lower rent prices slightly.
That could lead to people consuming and wasting too much food.

Testing it on humans. Applications for other medical uses.
