    "...Mr Lu, a Wuhan resident, recounted his harrowing experience to DuTe News. He was trapped on the Third Ring Road, an elevated highway, for close to two hours. “The car stopped directly in the middle of the road on the Third Ring Road, with large trucks speeding past on both sides,” Lu said at 10:40 PM, still inside the vehicle.

After finally reaching the official 400 customer service hotline, he was informed that a specialist would be dispatched. However, after waiting for nearly an hour, no one arrived.

WiseTech just slashed 2,000 jobs (about 30% of staff) because 'manual coding is dead'. So what's the genius plan for the endless influx of low-skill migrants flooding in? Crickets.
