This proverb means that people who are not directly involved in a situation may have a clearer view of what is happening than those who are. It is often used to suggest that an outsider’s perspective can be valuable.

Solomon’s paradox is a widespread phenomenon regarding how we think, which asserts that people reason more wisely about other people’s social problems than they do about their own.

gossips fly;天灾+人祸,一对democrats donor巨富被挖出..

来自乌克兰的犹太裔移民、亿万富豪瑞斯尼克夫妇(Stewart and Lynda Resnick)因为是加州最大的水资源使用者,用于支持自家的农业帝国,该公司每年消耗的水量高达1500亿加仑(约5678亿公升),主要用于种植杏仁、开心果和石榴等需大量水分的作物,而光是这些消耗的水量,就占全洛杉矶的92%。此外,瑞斯尼克夫妇还是加州最大地下水储存设施克恩水库的最大股东,持股比例高达57%。这座原本为公共用水储存设施的水库,后来被转交给私人企业,包括瑞斯尼克夫妻的Westside Mutual Water Company,他们也是知名的“慈善家”,捐款范围甚至涵盖教育、健康与社区计划,百年前旧金山也曾因为地震引发大火被烧毁啊,Gavin Newsom 可是2004 to 2011 San Francisco的市长啊.

LA被烧毁面积已经相当于一个旧金山了
