In day to day life, we intuitively understand how the world works.  Drop a glass and it will smash to the floor.  Push a wagon and it will roll along.  Walk to a wall and you can't walk through it.  There are very basic laws of physics going on all around us that we instinctively grasp: gravity makes things fall to the ground, pushing something makes it move, two things can't occupy the same place at the same time.

Last fall, a father of three in the District and his wife looked at their cable bill from Comcast and knew the time was right to cut back. The family paid more than $200 a month for cable, phone and Internet service. Verizon offered a better price, and the family decided it could live without cable. Paid subscriptions to select apps on their smart television would suffice. And then baseball season rolled around, and that father, an avid Washington Nationals fan named Jay, realized he’d be forced to go without watching his favorite ballclub on TV.

By Leah CarrollFeatures correspondent Getty ImagesWhen firms heap on flattery and promises to potential hires, it can set up workers to fail – even feel manipulated. They check in several times a day: texts, emails, phone calls. They lavish flattery and compliments, make it clear you're the one. You only met each other a few days ago, but the hours since have been a whirlwind of attention and promises. There's a term for this kind of behaviour: 'love bombing'.

2024年2月5日 在中国政府对批评言论加强审查之际，美国驻华大使馆的微博账号意外成为中国网民发泄对该国经济下行和股市暴跌不满情绪的“哭墙”。 上周五（2月2日）美国驻华大使馆在其官方微博账号上发布了一条帖子，讲述科学家如何用卫星数据来保护长颈鹿的栖息地。 截至周一（2月5日），这条帖子已经收到了16万条评论和超过70个赞。很多评论都与野生动物保护无关。 “救救股民吧！这帮人治理的真不行。”一名微博用户评论道。 另一名网友写道：“请求美国证监会接管缅A”。“缅A”是中国网络上的流行语，意将A股与缅甸北部的诈骗集团进行类比。 在中国失业率高企的背景下，还有网民表达了自己的困境。一条有5000多个赞的评论写道：“谁能救救我，失业好久了，又负债。” 在美国大使馆同日发表的另一条以迎接农历新年为主题的微博下，也有数以万计的网友涌入。不过，许多言辞尖锐的评论似乎在周一已被移除，取而代之的是一些赞美中美关系的评论。 这些与原帖主题风马不接的评论源自中国当局日益加强的言论管控，其使得中国网民通常很难找到一个地方来表达对该国经济或当局政策的不满。 中国官方媒体或政府部门的账号通常要么关闭评论功能，要么只显示经过挑选的评论，许多直言不讳批评当局的帖子被删除，甚至被封号。 例如，中国证监会官方账号“证监会发布”近期发布的多条微博没有显示任何评论。 过去一年，中国股市和美国股市走势截然相反。标普500指数多次创下历史新高，而中国的上证综指却跌至2020年以来的最低水平。 周一早盘，中国股市再度出现恐慌性抛售，上证综指开盘的一个半小时内从2720点一度跌至2643点，随后收复部分失地。 上个月，中国总理李强主持召开国务院常务会议，强调要“采取更加有力有效措施，着力稳市场、稳信心。” 中国证监会主席易会满周日（2月4日）也召开会议，强调将“依法严厉打击操纵市场、恶意做空、内幕交易、欺诈发行等重大违法行为”。 此前，北京已出台一系列支持措施，但它们未能提振受房地产低迷、国内消费不振、外部需求低迷等多重不利因素影响的信心。 国际货币基金组织（IMF）上周五（2月2日）发布最新评估，预计2024年中国经济增速将放缓至4.6%，在2028年放缓至3.5%，尽管官方数据显示，中国去年的经济增长超过了5%的预期。 与此同时，当局加强了舆论引导。中国国家安全部去年12月警告说，唱衰中国经济的言论将危及国家安全，是一种“认知陷阱”。 据报导，去年年底，微博还对一些经济博主发去通知，警告他们“注意言论尺度”，不要发布任何“唱衰中国经济的言论”。 但这些宣传有时似乎适得其反。就在上周五中国股市大跌的同时，党报《人民日报》发表题为“整个国家都洋溢着乐观向上的氛围”的文章，结果引发了网友的群嘲。 “当这个社会只能有一个声音时，那只能是谎言。”一名网友写道。 ncG1vNJzZmivp6x7o67CZ5qopV%2BvtbC6xrCcp2ejnrqxe8GuqqKmlajAboKXa2dqbGhs
