I'm not exactly sure what South Korea has been doing in the broad sense to help combat climate change, but I have no doubt they are probably leading the technology behind what the rest of the world will be using in the next 10-20 years when it comes to green energy. I know Japan has just started to take the steps necessary to bring this change, but I believe they are still a bit slow to the curb compared to S Korea.

If the most powerful country on Earth - the US - faces a 1/10 household issue of food security, it could say something about the rest of the world. We are surely lucky here nonetheless, and I am fortunate to be one of the 90% that was able to not face this issue.

The worst part about this issue is that it is one that is somewhat manageable. Most of the world could be fed on what farmers feed their cattle in the US alone. Albeit, at its current state almost all of that feed is inedible or not nutritious to humans, but that does not mean something can't be done to make it so that we digest something like this more properly.

When it comes to my East Asian country, Japan is of the biggest contributor to funds in the IMF. Hopefully, some of Japan's money has gone towards S. Korea.

As everyone pointed out, this is something that is incredibly vital to the future of economics. Historically, some of the biggest bucks made for the United States involved going to war directly. War is not profitable anymore, and the more countries that realize that, the more alternatives they might seek out when they realize it might hurt their pockets.

I like the point on defamation of journalists, as there are journalists who have gotten basically blacklisted for writing articles on topics that governments do not want them to. I can think of one recently that had their author die and the issue was completely swept under the rug to never be spoken about ever again. It should have been the discovery of the century really.

One can only hope that with social media, their access to the internet does not get shut down.

I wrote about this earlier, but there is an awful legal loophole that is being used with the freedom of the press amendment, and that is that it technically only goes for printed media. I have not seen a newspaper in over a decade, and while they exist, it certainly can be said that it is dying. Sort of analogous to the freedom of the media really.

US Statement on Diversion of Ryanair flight and Arrest of Journalist I have not been keeping up with [Central] European news in quite a while, so this case flew right over me. It is pretty damning of governments to jail and silence those who oppose them. Many times, the "Streisand Effect" occurs after they do this, and the ones they silenced and/or the issue they are trying to silence becomes more prominent than before.
