By John Mikkelsen, published 4/10/2024

They have shown how susceptible we are to malevolent hackers accessing a wide range of electrical devices which have become an essential part of our modern lives.

Apparently criminals just love Australia and Australians. Australia is the most hacked and scammed country in the world. More people here wanting something for nothing; and just look at the politicians they keep voting for! Australians will believe anything if there's money in it, and someone else offers to do things for them. Dills who have been conned are a regular event on Chanel 7 News.

Australians are screwed by their politicians, banks and Big Business with hardly a yelp. Anyone who does try to hit back is described as toxic, white, racist and ultra-Right.

It's not China we need to worry about: it's the likes of Albanese bending over for them, and the average Australian wanting stuff cheap. They love all the gadgets too: loose-lipped on unsociable media, yapping about themselves all the time, then sobbing and whining when they get ripped off or blackmailed by someone taking advantage of their naivety, stupidity and ‘look-at-me’ antics.

How sad - not.

This is what happens when you consume goods and services made by people who do not love you.

Do we love them? Well not quite... Then why expect them to love us?

There was a time when all we got was either made by oneself or by those close by whom ones knows and loves, one's family, one's tribe. No money was even exchanged then - we gave freely because we loved one another. We may not have had that many goods then, but we had the love and so we felt content with whatever we had.

Goods cannot replace love!

"A majority of the products from mainland China that were recalled last year were adult products, with a total of 81 recalls covering some 7.4 million units. Sixty‑eight of the 149 recalls of mainland Chinese merchandise during that period involved children’s products, covering approximately 1.9 million units. In other words, adult products from mainland China accounted for 54.4 percent of all recalls and 79.5 percent of total recalled units in 2022.
Mainland Chinese products continue to be recalled for a variety of reasons. The most common hazard among products recalled in 2022 was the threat of fire, burns, electrical shock and electrocution, which was cited in 53 recalls involving some 4.8 million units. Twenty‑one recalls involving about 831,880 units were triggered by choking or suffocation/asphyxiation/strangulation hazards, 16 recalls involving 1.1 million units were issued wholly or partly as a result of fall hazards, and 15 recalls involving about 665,023 units were issued due to the failure to comply with maximum lead content levels.
Other cited hazards included amputation, carbon monoxide poisoning, chemical hazards, crash, crushing, drowning, impact, entrapment/entanglement, laceration, magnet ingestion, poisoning, tip over, smoke inhalation and general injury hazards, as well as the lack of child resistant packaging when legally required, the failure to comply with maximum phthalate limits, and the failure of a product to alert a consumer in instances where such an alert was necessary...." https://research.hktdc.com/en/article/MTI4NTAxMDUwMg
