Hope its open source and not tied down to one vendor lock in . If implemented properly would have a major effect in elevating lifestyle, poverty and education. Govt in venezuela and probably cuba ,have the barebones of such a system and i think it would be wise to have a look and collaborate with them as not to duplicate efforts

I didn't get banned for that. I got banned for saying something against cheen, in fact I said they should stop attacking Uigyurs and I got banned. Every time I've been banned is because I said something about cheen.

I said "The Indian people stand with East Turkmen in spirit." & "So it's okay if cheenia systemically abuse East Turkmen but if Turks respond in kind then cheenia go ballistic and cry racism/discrimination?"
