  • 高雄市長就職演說 讓春天從高雄登陸 讓海峽用每一陣潮水 讓潮水用每一陣浪花 向長長的堤岸呼喊 太陽回來了,從南回歸線 春天回來了,從南中國海 讓春天從高雄登陸 這轟動南部的消息 讓木棉花的火把 用越野賽跑的速度 一路向北方傳達 讓春天從高雄出發 各位鄉親,各位貴賓,還有各位現場好朋友,大家早安,大家好。 今天是歷史的一刻,國瑜要感謝所有的高雄鄉親,用選票選擇了改變,此刻國瑜的內心充滿無限的感激。在此也要感謝歷屆的高雄市長、政治菁英、所有士農工商、全體市民,以往對於高雄市的真情付出,讓國瑜得以站在巨人的肩膀上,帶領高雄市準備衝向新的時代。 剛剛,國瑜念的是余光中先生的詩《讓春天從高雄出發》。事實上,高雄市長今年的選舉不僅僅是「轟動南部的消息」、「一路向北方傳達」,這場選舉甚至已經轟動全世界,無遠弗界的進入全球華人的視野。 余光中是福建泉州永春人,民國17年出生在南京,57歲他移居到高雄市任教於中山大學文學院外國語文學系,國瑜在民國46年生出於台北縣,60歲到高雄市定居,不管先來後到,不管來自何方,只要居住在高雄市,不管用什麼樣的方式愛高雄,我們全部都是高雄人,高雄市民用這次選舉告訴全世界,高雄市真的是一個充滿愛與包容的偉大城市。 在選舉期間,國瑜主張,高雄市必須「政治歸零,經濟百分之百」,打造一個欣欣向榮、活潑、陽光的城市,經濟發展只有通路,沒有圍牆。在這場選舉過程,很多市民樂在其中,大家可以很明顯看到,高雄市已經是一個充滿理想、熱情、歡樂的城市。 高雄市也是一個移民城市,用愛包容各地的移民,高雄市更是一個海洋城市,國瑜希望高雄走向世界,讓世界走進高雄。因此,中英文雙語教育將是新市府施政的重中之重。新加坡國父李光耀曾說,雙語教育是他一生的挑戰,新加坡做到了,雙語成了新加坡年輕人邁向國際化的一種能力,國瑜相信,高雄市也可以做得到,我們要讓高雄市的下一代裝上翅膀,在國際移動沒有任何障礙。 可以預見,國瑜喊出「打造高雄,全台首富」的夢想,未來一定會有很多困難需要一一克服。例如選舉期間走訪高雄蛋白區偏鄉,國瑜發覺,城鄉差距真是超乎想像,偏鄉的教育、醫療、基層建設嚴重落後,同樣一個城市,市民卻有截然不同的待遇,看到農漁民的處境,給了國瑜極大的震撼與感觸。為了弭平城鄉差距,市政府未來的施政一定會城鄉兼顧,一視同仁。 「天地可破,熱情不破」,這次的選舉,當外界全部不看好韓國瑜的時候,我心中的熱情並沒有因此熄滅,人類因為夢想而偉大,未來高雄市也會因為築夢踏實而偉大。 國瑜來自基層,本來是一個賣菜郎,國瑜保證,未來永遠不會和基層脫節,國瑜要告訴所有鄉親,高雄市屬於所有市民,不屬於任何政黨,也不屬於任何派系,選前大家可以有政黨之分,選後不應該再有藍綠的成見,為了高雄市的長遠發展,國瑜要拜託大家,所有人攜手合作,共創美好的未來。 國瑜相信,未來高雄市不僅將成為南台灣經濟發展的領頭羊,在大幅邁開國際化的步伐以後,還會成為台灣經濟發展的火車頭,這也是國瑜對於所有高雄市民的承諾。 Good Morning distinguished guests, Ladies and Gentlemen. What an amazing journey, back to one year ago, no one would believe this will happen, and now WE DID IT! This victory belongs to the great and brave Kaohsiung citizens. Without your trust and support I can never come this far, and we together make this mission impossible POSSIBLE! Kaohsiung, the sleeping giant, has waken up! Kaohsiung is an excellent city with beautiful landscape and intelligent people. Facing ocean as a great harbor city, we have mountain, we have river like the Love river we are nearby now. We have airport, metro, light rail and all modern infrastructures. Basically, Kaohsiung has everything you’re looking for. The city is full of opportunities. Kaohsiung city government will spare no effort to create a friendly environment for the visitors and investors from all over the world. There will be no walls and barriers, only roads and bridges, friendship and love. Let’s work together and let the city shine. As my slogan during election: Sell goods, welcome people, Prosperous Kaohsiung! May God bless Kaohsiung and God bless each and every one of you. 最後,國瑜要再次感謝高雄鄉親,給予我跟新的市府團隊一個服務市民的機會,國瑜保證一定全力以赴,絕對不會讓大家失望。感謝大家,Thank you very much !

  • Adam Rogas – CEO and Co-Founder of NS8 by IdeaMensch · Nov 30, 2016 287Share Tweet 66Share Adam-e1480959343307 Find a problem you think you can solve and really focus on it. Resist the urge to move from that problem until you have demonstrated by positive user feedback and growth that you have actually solved it. Adam Rogas is the CEO and Co-Founder of NS8. With over 14 years of senior development and management expertise, as well as extensive knowledge in the fields of online fraud and spam filtering, Adam brings a tremendous amount to NS8. He was a founder of LoadMail and has worked as a trusted advisor to Postini, London Board of Tourism, Vivendi Universal, and Napster. In each case, Adam has helped implement big data, email, spam and virus filtering, and data security solutions. Mr. Rogas has architected extremely large-scale spam and virus filtering platforms, dealing with well over 100,000 messages per hour. He has also played a central role in the architecture of numerous large scale analysts solutions. Adam brings his love for safe, effective communication and startup ventures to NS8. He is married and also calls Las Vegas, Nevada home. Where did the idea for NS8 come from? My partners and I have run some significant and highly transactional websites and services prior to NS8. We understood that the common threads of fraud, abuse and poor user experience affected each of them in some way, shape, or form. Knowing this, we felt there had to be a better way to protect these types of sites and services, from being abused, regardless of their size. We also knew that any solution we created had to be easy to deploy, manage, and understand. What does your typical day look like and how do you make it productive? In an early stage company you are wearing lots of hats. I work a ton of hours. So, the key for me, is to keep my thoughts organized. I usually divide my day up into 3 or 4 segments and then identify what I think I can accomplish in each one of them. Once I do this, I make a list for each segment. This gives me a semblance of structure to my day that helps me get my mind right for the tasks I have to tackle. It also helps me walk away and not overthink the ones I have already completed. How do you bring ideas to life? I usually start with an idea or something that would really matter to a specifc group of people and then I start asking questions. I will then usually build some simple example, or take steps to create what I’m trying to do, and show it to people get feedback and repeat until I reach my goal. What’s one trend that really excites you? It has gotten easier and easier to bring big ideas to life, and to compete, due to the growth of cloud services. To me, it really levels the playing field for a lot of ideas, that just 5 years ago, would have been impossible for all but the largest companies to bring to life. What is one habit of yours that makes you more productive as an entrepreneur? I try to be fairly aware of my own ADD and so I will make lists to hold myself accountable for the items on them. I also try to solve this problem in our hiring practices by surrounding myself with people that are very detail and process focused. What advice would you give your younger self? Find a problem you think you can solve and really focus on it. Resist the urge to move from that problem until you have demonstrated by positive user feedback and growth that you have actually solved it. If you do that, and continue to do it over and over again, you will be successful. Tell us something that’s true that almost nobody agrees with you on? That I am a good singer ? I don’t know that I am very persuasive here …. but I do know I can’t sing. As an entrepreneur, what is the one thing you do over and over and recommend everyone else do? I am constantly talking to our customers. I try to involve them early on, and very often in our process. This is one area I struggle with as we evolve and scale our product development processes, but it is critical to maintaining that connection as to why your customers want your product in the first place. What is one strategy that has helped you grow your business? Please explain how. Surrounding myself with supremely talented people and partners. It has been instrumental to my own growth and the growth of my businesses. What is one failure you had as an entrepreneur, and how did you overcome it? That would probably be my first company, Load Ltd. Load was a hosted application service provider before there was a term for Software As A Service (SaaS). We had a popular email product called LoadMail, that was used by a number of major companies. About 1 year into the business we chose to offer additional services above and beyond just mail and it was this decision that would prove to be our failure. As a team, we didn’t fully understand how diversifying our focus would negatively impact our effectiveness. I tell everyone who asks for advice to pick a problem you can solve and focus on solving it well. Successful entrepreneurs have one thing in common — they never give up. What is one business idea that you’re willing to give away to our readers? I like ideas that take subject knowledge and find a way to productize it. One idea I had was to do this for athletic departments in D1 schools, so they could crowdsource from their athletes, managers, and students the creation of social marketing content. They could then manage it from a centrally controllable compliance system. Or Plastics !! Invest in Plastics (god I’m old) What is the best $100 you recently spent? What and why? Money spent on experiences, dinner with my wife or friends, or money that helps someone. Recently, since we are living across the country from each other, it would be dinner with my wife the last time I was at home in Las Vegas. What is one piece of software or a web service that helps you be productive? How do you use it? Slack. It helps our entire team communicate. What is the one book that you recommend our community should read and why? “Start With Why” by Simon Sinek. It helps you think about what you are building in a way that really focuses on how it will be consumed by those whom you are selling it to. What is your favorite quote? “Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.” -Winston Churchill Tell us about one friend or acquaintance of yours who we should interview on IdeaMensch. Who are they, what are they doing and what’s their email address? I actually have two Nick Jones, Nick and I started what was our first real company together Load Ltd along with my current business partner Paul Korol. Nick’s is currently working on a great project focused on personal and affinity based content creation called JRNL.com, they have recently been through boom Startup a SaaS focused startup accelerator in Salt Lake City and have just completed a seed round of funding. John Njoku, John is working on a great project RentHub.com, which is at the intersection of Multifamily Residential Realestate and Big Data Analytics. RentHub has some huge clients such as StarWood capital and The Lefrak Organization and has recently completed the Elmspring accelerator based in Chicago.

  • 【中英雙語展示 ‧ 許國榮 Alex Hui 翻譯】 Ugandan President’s address to his nation. One of the best Covid-19 speeches till now, from anyone anywhere in this world. 以下是烏干達總統對他國民的致詞。 迄今為止,從來自世界各地對於有關Covid-19的演詞來說,被公認最佳演詞之一。 Uganda President KAGUTA MUSEVENI warns against people misbehaving during this COVID-19 period, "God has a lot of work, He has the whole world to look after. He cannot just be here in Uganda looking after idiots". 烏干達總統卡古塔·穆塞韋尼(KAGUTA MUSEVENI)告誡人們不要在COVID-19時期表現不佳,「上帝有很多工作需要做,整個世界都需要祂去照顧。他不能只是在烏干達這裡照顧你們這一班白痴。」 "In a war situation, nobody asks anyone to stay indoors. You stay indoors by choice. In fact, if you have a basement, you hide there for as long as hostilities persist. 在戰爭情況下,沒有人要求任何人呆在室內。你會選擇留在室內。實際上,如果你有地下室,只要戰火持續下去,你都會一直呆在那裡。 During a war, you don't insist on your freedom. You willingly give it up in exchange for survival. 在戰爭中,您不會堅持自己的自由。 您願意放棄它以換取生存。 During a war, you don't complain of hunger. You bear hunger and pray that you live to eat again. 在戰爭中,您不會抱怨飢餓。你會忍受飢餓,並祈求天父你能夠生存,有機會再次吃飯。 During a war, you don't argue about opening your business. You close your shop (if you have the time), and run for your life. You pray to outlive the war so that you can return to your business (that's if it has not been looted or destroyed by mortar fire). 在戰爭中,你不會為商店營業而爭論。你會趕快及時關閉門戶,你會為自己的活命而禱告;並且祈求這場戰爭早日過去,以便你可以重拾若果僥倖尚存的家園。 During a war, you are thankful to God for seeing another day in the land of the living. 在戰爭中,你會感恩上帝可以存活在有生命的地上,親眼看到新的一天。 During a war, you don't worry about your children not going to school. You pray that the government does not forcefully enlist them as soldiers to be trained in the school premises now turned military depot. 在戰爭中,你不會擔心孩子不上學。 你會禱告祈求政府不要強迫他們當兵,而這些士兵要在現已變成軍用倉庫的學校場地接受軍訓。 The world is currently in a state of war. A war without guns and bullets. A war without human soldiers. A war without borders. A war without cease-fire agreements. A war without a war room. A war without sacred zones. 世界目前正處於戰爭狀態:一場沒有槍支和子彈的戰爭;沒有人類士兵的戰爭;一場毫無國界的戰爭;沒有停火協議的戰爭;沒有作戰室的戰爭;沒有神聖地帶的戰爭。 The army in this war is without mercy. It is without any milk of human kindness. It is indiscriminate - it has no respect for children, women, or places of worship. This army is not interested in spoils of war. It has no intention of regime change. It is not concerned about the rich mineral resources underneath the earth. It is not even interested in religious, ethnic or ideological hegemony. Its ambition has nothing to do with racial superiority. It is an invisible, fleetfooted, and ruthlessly effective army. 這場戰爭中的軍隊毫不留情:它沒有任何人性。它是不分青紅皂白,它不會尊重兒童、婦女、或崇拜場所。 這支軍隊對戰利品毫不感興趣。毫無意願去改變政權,毫不關心地底下的豐富礦產資源。 它甚至對宗教,種族或意識形態霸權都不感興趣。 它的野心與種族優勢無關。它是一支看不見的,腳步輕盈,殘酷無情的軍隊。 Its only agenda is a harvest of death. It is only satiated after turning the world into one big death field. Its capacity to achieve its aim is not in doubt. Without ground, amphibious and aeriel machines, it has bases in almost every country of the world. Its movement is not governed by any war convention or protocol. In short, it is a law unto itself. It is Coronavirus. Also known as COVID-19 (because it announced its destructive presence and intention in the year of our Lord 2019). 它唯一的議程是去收穫死亡。 只有在把整個世界變成橫屍遍野的大屠場之後,它才會滿足。 它實現其目標的能力是毋庸置疑的。 這支軍隊並沒有陸戰、兩棲、或空戰設備,但它的基地卻幾乎遍布世界每一角落。 它的移動並不受任何戰爭公約或協議的約束。 簡而言之,這是一支橫行無忌的軍隊。 它是冠狀病毒。 也被稱為COVID-19(因為它是在主後2019年宣布了破壞性存在和意圖)。 Thankfully, this army has a weakness and it can be defeated. It only requires our collective action, discipline and forbearance. COVID-19 cannot survive social and physical distancing. It only thrives when you confront it. It loves to be confronted. It capitulates in the face of collective social and physical distancing. It bows before good personal hygiene. It is helpless when you take your destiny in your own hands by keeping them sanitized as often as possible. 不過,值得慶幸的好訊息是:這支軍隊都有弱點,它可以被擊敗。 只需要我們的集體行動,紀律和寬容。 COVID-19無法倖免於社交和軀體上的隔離。 它只有在你刻意面對它時才能蓬勃發展;牠喜歡被迎面對抗。 但面對集體性的社交和身軀上的距離,它投降了。它在保持良好個人衛生之前先鞠躬退役。 當你通過盡可能地掌握自己的命運,清潔雙手時,它更是無奈。 This is not a time to cry about bread and butter like spoilt children. After all, the Holy book tells us that man shall not live by bread alone. Let's obey and follow the instructions of the authorities. Let's flatten the COVID-19 curve. Let's exercise patience. Let's be our brothers' keeper. In no time, we shall regain our freedom, enterprise and socializing." 現今並不是哭泣之時,像被寵壞的孩童那樣,哭泣暫時肚飢的時候。 畢竟,聖經告訴我們,「人活著不是單靠食物」《馬太福音4:4》。 讓我們服從並遵循當局的指示。 讓我們展平COVID-19的曲線。 讓我們保持耐心。 讓我們成為兄弟互相的守護。 我們恢復自由、進取和社會交往,指日可待。 In the midst of EMERGENCY, we practice urgency of service and the urgency of love for others. God bless us all. 在緊急狀態中,好讓我們操練迫切性的互相服務,和迫切性的互相關懷。但願慈愛的天父上帝憐憫祝福各位。 The best and most intelligent public speech ever made during Covid-19. 以上是「新冠病毒」疫情中,被公認為曾經發表過的明智公開演講。

  • 歷史哥澄清唬 https://www.facebook.com/525231778007287/posts/914879449042516/ 【澄清唬爆米花教室:被大內宣淹沒的美國總統署名投書】 先說這篇沒有圖,因為太重要不能亂放圖 在歷史上,從沒有美國總統親自投書到中華民國的報紙。但是在109年10月22日,美國準總統拜登以「More Prosperous Future For Our Families」(定稿中文標題:為我們家庭更繁榮的未來),以華人為主體,台灣人為核心訴求,投書聯合報系的世界日報,強調他願意與中國合作而非對抗,鄙棄川普的仇中獵巫,願意與華人聯手,但更重視台灣人的健保經驗,不願台灣人為美國火中取栗而是共同繁榮。 但在一片大奇特的大內宣中,美國準總統的投書竟然在台灣地區被忽視。且不說拜登明明在聲譽卓著的 IBD/TIPP民調持續領先,比起川普根本鼓吹台灣人火中取栗(你對抗,我賺軍火,去跟大陸人死嗑來增加我談判勒索本錢)。 拜登不只親自署名投書,還誠懇說明他對台灣/兩岸的四大重點,根本是史上最誠懇與重要的待遇。既然親綠親川普主流媒體不報,那福編來報。 ★ 一、拜登堅持稱台灣是 leading democracy (領導性的民主政體),表示其無意支持台獨立場(不稱國家) 二、拜登大篇幅強調川普仇中、卸責不科學的推卸問題給中國,造成亞裔的困擾與災難,而這不是美國總統應為。(打了那些整天喊支那賤畜以為自己就會成為高等美國人的台灣地區背祖中國人的臉) 三、拜登大談健保對一般百姓重要性,表示他珍視台灣的健保經驗,也是未來與台灣的合作重心。 四、與其獵巫與仇中,他更重視與中國的合作,希望聯盟對世界更有幫助(雖然舉例醫療與氣候,但也只是舉例) 表示願意以兩大強權的合作,謀取更多世界利益。 其他我 不多說,請看原文與譯文。 #拜登給中華民國台灣與聯合報系的面子真的太大了 #聯合報系真正展現實力 #美國總統投書首中華民國系報紙 #大內宣只在意把我們當馬前卒的喇叭川普 為我們家庭更繁榮的未來/前副總統喬瑟夫.拜登 時局多艱,我們國家處在十字路口,正面臨疾病大流行、經濟大衰退,和一場將決定我們未來很長一段時間的選舉。 今年 我們看到美國最好的一面 今年,我們看到美國最好的一面引領我們向前:英勇的醫師、護士、日常雜貨商、餐館業主、必要行業工作者 — 而其中,包括許許多多的亞裔美國人。 今年 我們也看到美國最糟情況 但我們也看到最糟的情況:亞裔美國人誤因新冠病毒遭仇視的行為比比皆是,某種程度上,是因為川普總統發布的仇恨言論所致。亞裔美國人被責備、被唾罵、被攻擊;家園、商家和汽車被侮辱性標記破壞;年幼的孩童被刺傷,還有一名89歲的奶奶,在不斷升級的仇恨文化中遭人火焚。 這不該是我們原本的樣子。 亞裔美國人 使我們國家變強大 近兩個世紀以來,亞裔美國人使我們的國家變得強大 — 從掘金礦工,到加速我們崛起的鐵路和工廠工人,再到推動我們向前邁進的科學家、建築師、藝術家和企業家們。多年來,他們的勇氣、犧牲和成功,為美國夢注入動力,也讓美國穩為自由的燈塔與世界的希望。 川普卻不懂 傷了移民國價值觀 川普總統不懂這些。他帶頭攻擊我們作為移民之國的價值觀,甚至在我們的邊境,拆散成千上萬的孩童與父母。即便在這場大流行到來之前,我們的仇恨犯罪就已達到16年以來的新高。而如今,為了轉移自己抗疫失敗、未能保護我們國家的過失,無論是否因此導致上千反亞裔的種族歧視事件,他仍堅持把新冠病毒稱作「中國病毒」。 作為總統 我捍衛每人的美國夢 措辭很重要,總統措辭更為重要。作為總統,我將捍衛每個人的美國夢,讓每一勤奮努力的家庭,享有通向繁榮和美好未來的公平機會。我將反對任何形式的種族歧視,指示司法部優先處理仇恨犯罪,以彌合仇恨與分裂的傷口,而非煽風點火。 川普失敗 他讓我們的經濟崩盤 唐納德·川普早在今年1月就已知道新冠病毒的致命性,卻未採取任何行動。現在,超過22萬美國人因此失去生命,約3000萬人失去工作、工時和薪水,五分之一的小商家關門。川普失敗的領導力讓我們的經濟崩盤 — 他總統當得愈久,得以完全回歸正軌的時間也愈久。 我會控制疫情 讓我們重回生機 八個月過去了,川普仍然沒有(抗疫)計畫。而我有。 首先要擔起責任,努力控制疫情,讓我們重回生機。我將執行早在3月就擬定的計畫,擊敗新冠病毒。我將聽取科學家、專家的意見;保護我們的家庭;讓新冠檢測、治療, #以及最終的疫苗免費,並對所有人開放。 我會重建經濟 實質救助小商家 我將馬上開始重建更好的經濟,為數百萬遭受重創的小商家提供實質救助。他們是我們社區的生命線 — 但川普腐敗的復甦作法棄他們於不顧,只把紓困資金匯集到大公司手中。75%的亞裔小企業主,未能獲得任何首輪紓困金。這是錯誤的,我已要求確保員工在50人以下的小企業獲得紓困金,我也將增加他們獲得優惠和資金的長遠渠道,減輕阻礙移民業主的語言障礙。 我不會對年收40萬元以下者加稅 質言之,我的經濟復甦計畫將回報以工作,而不只是財富,將創造未來數百萬優薪工作。(信評機構)穆迪的獨立經濟學者發現,比起川普總統的作法,我的計畫會創造多出700萬的工作,以及超過1兆元的經濟增長。我也不會對任何年收入40萬元以下者加稅 —別懷疑。相反地,我還將確保超級富豪和大公司最終支付本應承擔的份額。 讓父母能付學費 讓醫保更平價 我一路走來,都在為工薪和中產家庭而戰;他們之中有許多勤勉奮鬥的移民,來到美國是為更好的生活。我將幫助父母有能力支付子女的優質教育、提高教師薪酬,並讓絕大多數家庭免費就讀公立學院。我將讓照顧年邁父母變得更容易,讓醫療保險更平價。川普現在要通過法院,廢除「可負擔健保法」,在一場致命大流行之中,剝奪數千萬人的醫療保險,這毫無道理。 與盟友並肩 深化與台灣的關係 同時,新冠病毒證明美國不能自外於世界。從重建我們最親近夥伴的關係開始,我們必須與其他國家攜手合作,應對影響我們所有人的國際挑戰。我們是一個太平洋強國,將與盟友並肩,增進我們在亞太地區共享的繁榮、安全與價值。這其中就包括深化與台灣這個居領先地位的民主政體、主要經濟體,以及科技重鎮的關係。台灣也是開放社會可以有效控制新冠病毒的閃亮典範。 更新領導力 符合美利益與中合作 我們應對中國的方式,會聚焦增強美國競爭力,再興國內優勢,並更新我們在海外的聯盟與領導力。我們將在符合美國利益的領域與中國合作,包括公共衛生和氣候變遷。 讓家庭團聚 修復破碎的移民系統 美國向來不只靠強大的國力,而是用身為榜樣的實力領導世界。要切實重現此景,我們也必須修復破碎的移民系統,讓家庭團聚,確保美國繼續吸引全球最出色與最聰明的人。 我將會傾聽 重塑我們熱愛的國魂 我競選是為讓美國更好的重建,重建美國作為一個充滿機會,團結和有全新開始的國家;一個由數代移民讓其強大的地方;一個所有人都能發聲、每張選票都有價值的地方。我將引領這些議題,更重要的是,我會傾聽。所以,請確保你今天將選票投出。 讓我們一起,重塑我們熱愛的國魂。 (世界日報華盛頓記者羅曉媛/譯) More Prosperous Future For Our Families by Former Vice President Joseph Biden for World Journal These are tough times. Our country is at a crossroads, facing a pandemic, a recession, and an election that will decide our futures for a very long time. This year, we've seen the best of America carry us forward: heroic doctors, nurses, grocers, restaurant owners, essential workers–including so many Asian Americans. But we've also seen the worst: acts of hate against Asian Americans wrongly blamed for COVID-19, spurred on, in part, by hateful rhetoric from President Trump. They've been screamed at, spit on, and assaulted. Homes, businesses, and cars vandalized with slurs. Small children stabbed. An 89-year-old grandmother set on fire amid this rising culture of hate. This is not who we are. For nearly two centuries, Asian Americans have made our country strong–from the gold miners and railroad and factory workers who helped to power our rise; to the scientists, architects, artists, and entrepreneurs who are helping to drive us forward now. For years, their courage, sacrifices, and success have powered the American Dream and helped America stand as a beacon of freedom and hope to the world. President Trump doesn't get that. He has led an assault on our values as a nation of immigrants, even tearing thousands of children from their parents' arms at our border. Hate crimes against people are at a 16-year-high, even before this pandemic. And now, to deflect blame for his failure to protect our nation from this crisis, he insists on calling COVID-19 the "China virus," no matter how many thousands of reported racist incidents against Asian Americans it encourages. Words matter – and a president's words matter even more. As President, I'll defend the American Dream for everyone, so every hardworking family has the same fair shot at prosperity and a better future. I'll stand against racism in every form, directing the Justice Department to prioritize hate crimes, and working to heal the wounds of hatred and division, not fan the flames. Donald Trump knew how deadly COVID-19 was back in January and did nothing to stop it. Now, more than 220,000 Americans are dead. Some 30 million have lost jobs, hours, wages. One in five small businesses have shut down. Trump's failed leadership has tanked our economy – and the longer he's president, the longer it'll take to get it fully up and running again. We're eight months in, but Trump still has no plan. I do. It starts with taking responsibility and doing the hard work to control this pandemic and get our lives back. I'll implement the plan I've laid out since March to beat COVID-19. I'll listen to scientists and experts; protect our families; and make testing, treatment, and any eventual vaccine free and available to everyone. I'll get right to work building our economy back better – getting real relief out to millions of hard-hit small businesses. They're the lifeblood of our communities – but Trump's corrupt recovery passed them by, funneling funds to big corporations instead. Some 75% of Asian-owned small businesses weren't expected to get any first-round stimulus funds at all. It's wrong. I've called for ensuring small businesses with less than 50 employees get new relief funds. And I'll boost their long-term access to credit and capital, and work to ease the language barriers that can hold back immigrant entrepreneurs. Through it all, my economic recovery plan will reward work, not just wealth, creating millions of good paying jobs of the future. Independent economists at Moody's found that my plan creates 7 million more jobs – and $1 trillion more in economic growth – than President Trump's would. And I won't raise taxes on anyone earning less than $400,000 a year – period. Instead, I'll make sure the super wealthy and big corporations finally pay their fair share. I've fought my whole career for working and middle class families – so many of them hard-working immigrants who came to America in search of a better life. I'll help parents afford a quality education for their kids, boosting teacher pay and making public college free for most families. I'll make it easier to care for aging parents, and make health care more affordable. Trump is in court right now trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act, stripping tens of millions of people of health coverage in the middle of a deadly pandemic. It makes no sense. Meanwhile, COVID-19 is proof that the United States can't isolate itself from the world. We have to work with other nations to meet global challenges that impact us all, starting by rebuilding our relationships with our closest partners. We're a Pacific power, and we'll stand with friends and allies to advance our shared prosperity, security, and values in the Asia-Pacific region. That includes deepening our ties with Taiwan, a leading democracy, major economy, technology powerhouse – and a shining example of how an open society can effectively contain COVID-19. And our approach to China will focus on boosting American competitiveness, revitalizing our strengths at home, and renewing our alliances and leadership abroad. We'll work to collaborate with China when it's in our interest, including on public health and climate change. America has always led the world not only with the example of our power, but the power of our example. To truly do that again, we also have to fix our broken immigration system, keeping families together and ensuring the United States continues to draw the world's best and brightest. I'm running to build America back better, as a country of opportunity, unity, and new beginnings. A place made strong by generations of immigrants. A place where everyone has a voice and every vote counts. I'll lead on these issues, and more importantly, I'll listen. So please make sure you get your vote in today. Together we'll restore the soul of this nation we love. #福編編譯? (編譯個鬼,是世界日報了不起! 大內宣與遍地綠媒鬼遮眼)
