Chinese bus companies tell drivers not to hit supercars
Being a bus driver in China must be awful. Lots of traffic, lots of people, no tipping. And the job has just gotten worse in Jinghua, where a bus company has instructed its drivers to please stop hitting expensive supercars.
To illustrate the point, drivers were shown a poster with supercar logos to watch out for and how much the associated cars were worth. Hit a Lamborghini, you'll be out 5 million yuan (almost $800,000 USD). And right there, the last vestige of fun was taken away from the under-appreciated Chinese bus driver.
The poster even includes the Shelby Super Cars logo, which can't possibly be all that common in China. Odder still is the omission of the Porsche insignia, which we take to mean it's open season on Boxsters and Caymans.

There was an article about some Chinese guy who was a lowly chef, hitting a Rolls Royce limo at the airport and caused minor damage to the Rolls but nearly totaled his own car (Chinese made).
The family of the chef came out to beg the owner not to make them pay for the whole repair because even if they sell off all of the family assets, they dont have enough money to cover the repairs on the Rolls lol.

Communism and Socialism are simply forms of wealth re-distribution of course.
We've seen it most glaringly in Russia and China, in that only 50 years ago, their leaders were confiscating property and homes from "bourgeois" land owners......only to now be "bourgeois" land owners themselves.
Corruption and apathy seeps into everything. Less government is the only way, and you can't have a socialist or communist "paradise" without a totalitarian government.
Of course, eventually, they'll mismanage it and have what they have now: a whole economy based upon the exploitation of their people's labor. What they were supposedly fighting against is all they were fighting for in the end.
