if you can believe it, i had family telling me chinese ghost cities were 'using up all the resources'...
this was my uncle who is a tenuref prof (i think in english or social studies) and i was so speechles. my best friend was confused, and calmly tried to explain (my friend is not a fan of china, but was probably more surprised) that there are finite resources but not so little there cannot be decent housing for everyone and i had to glare him down because for all his good intentions he was not going to get through...
jeez it still wrangles my brain. the uncle did get NTY delivered each day which was nice, the joke and crossword parts are really fun for what it's worth.
