A | Republican Senator Bill Cassidy has argued that an energy and healthcare reconciliation bill, called the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 and supported by Chuck Schumer and Joe Manchin, could lead to a recession despite its sponsors’ assertions that the bill would help tackle rising prices.,Speaking to ABC News on Sunday, Cassidy said that “It [the bill] may be disinflationary by causing a recession. They’re interjecting an incredible amount of uncertainty into the economy just as we entered a recession.”,“Much of what he says about this bill is just not true” the Republican added, referring to Manchin’s earlier comments on the ABC News, in which the West Virginia Democrat in particular reiterated his support of the bill after claims that the measure could increase inflation over a year and a half.,Cassidy claimed that the bill would raise taxes and lead to higher costs for consumers, adding, “I think what we’re doing is inducing [manufacturers] to move to Asia. You can have a disinflationary program by causing a recession. I think this is going to lead to a worse recession.”,He spoke as Republican Senator Mike Crapo cited not-partisan data as indicating that the Manchin-Schumer deal on the reconciliation bill would “raise billions of dollars in taxes on Americans” earning less than $400,000 annually.,Crapo pointed to an analysis conducted by the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT), which also found that taxes would soar by about $16.7 billion on US taxpayers making less than $200,000 in 2023 and raise another $14.1 billion on those who earn between $200,000 and $500,000.,Referring to the Manchin-Schumer deal, the Senate GOP argued that “Americans are already experiencing the consequences of Democrats’ reckless economic policies” and that “the mislabeled ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ will do nothing to bring the economy out of stagnation and recession.”,“The more this bill is analyzed by impartial experts, the more we can see Democrats are trying to sell the American people a bill of goods,” Crapo, who sits on the Senate Finance Committee as a ranking member and who requested the JCT analysis, asserted.,Ashley Schapitl , a spokesperson for the Senate Finance Committee’s Chair Ron Wyden, in turn insisted that families “will not pay one penny in additional taxes under this bill.”,Schapitl claimed that the JCT analysis isn’t complete because “it doesn’t include the benefits to middle-class families of making health insurance premiums and prescription drugs more affordable. The same goes for clean energy incentives for families.”,Joe Manchin, Chuck Schumer Reach Deal on Climate, Energy, and Taxes in Surprise Announcement27 July, 23:41 GMT,This comes after Senate Majority Leader Schumer and Democratic Senator Manchin announced a deal last Wednesday on the energy and health care bill, a scaled-down version of the Build Back Better Act that the West Virginia Democrat Manchin repeatedly stymied last year.,“After many months of negotiations, we have finalized legislative text that will invest approximately $300 billion in Deficit Reduction and $369.75 billion in Energy Security and Climate Change programs over the next 10 years,” the two senators said in a joint statement after clinching the deal.,According to them, “the investments will be fully paid for by closing tax loopholes on wealthy individuals and corporations.” They added that the new agreement aims to "reduce carbon emissions by roughly 40 percent by 2030" and address inflation while also reducing the deficit.,Republicans were quick to lash out at the agreement, with Texas Senator John Cornyn slamming the new document as “Manchin’s New Build Back Broke Bill”. Cornyn insisted that “Raising taxes on job creators, crushing energy producers with new regulations, and stifling innovators looking for new cures will only make this recession worse, not better.”,In a separate development last week, President Joe Biden argued that the US economy is "on the right path" despite the GDP taking a plunge, and pushing the country into a technical recession.,“It's no surprise that the economy is slowing down as the Federal Reserve acts to bring down inflation. Even as we face historic global challenges, we are on the right path and we will come through this transition stronger and more secure,” POTUS said.,Earlier, the Commerce Department stated that the country’s GDP contracted by 0.9% in the second quarter of this year after a first quarter drop of 1.6%, in a preliminary estimate that technically placed the economy in a recession.,This followed the White House arguing that “while some maintain that two consecutive quarters of falling real GDP constitute a recession, there are other factors that need to be taken into account. Conservatives were having none of it." The claims provoked flak from Republicans, with Donald Trump Jr. tweeting that “apparently the White House is changing the definition of recession this week so we can pretend that we're not in one.”。 一名外国女游客，刚刚在新加坡被判锒铛入狱了！媒体报道，8月20日，她和丈夫一起来金沙商场的LV专卖店购物，但丈夫并没有给自己买东西，而是给自己买了枚戒指。于是，她心生嫉妒，想着既然丈夫不卖给自己，那就自己给自己捞一把。图源：滨海湾金沙她向店员提出要试戴一款手链，然后趁着店员不注意，就这么大摇大摆地走出了门店......一开始，店员并没有发现她的异常。一直到当天晚些时候，门店经理在清点库存时，发现有条手链不见了，查看监控电眼后才发现女子的犯罪行为。经理随之报警，事发后手链物归原主。
B | 在星期一（8月26日）早上通过视频会议出庭女子认罪，但最终还是被判坐牢五天。 示意图虽说新加坡治安全球数一数二，但“低犯罪率不代表无犯罪”。不过，在新加坡，警方似乎破案效率还不错。
C | 从2012年起在全岛铺设电眼后，至2021年，警方借助这些闭路摄像机画面共侦破了5000多起案件！ 网上时不时就能搜到这类新闻 电眼保护了新加坡的安全。然而，在这电子网络时代，随处可见的电眼，也给新加坡带来另一个响当当的名号：监控之城（国） 来源：彭博社&Java Films“新加坡，被监控着的城市”新加坡 2019年，一份数据让整个新加坡震惊。
D | 科技资讯网站Comparitech.com针对全球120个城市的调查发现，新加坡共有8万6000台公共电眼。当时，新加坡人口只有564万人。算下来的话，也就是每1000人就得面对超过15台公共电眼。
E | 这也让新加坡在全球最受监视城市排行榜上，排名第11位。 图源：The Hill而这个比例在差不多10年左右很可能要翻倍。新加坡警察部队在2021年就公开说了，到了2030年代中期，警方计划将现有的警用电眼数量，增加到超过20万个。届时，如果按照现有人口估算的话，每1000名新加坡人，面对的电眼数量将直接暴涨到33个！要知道，新加坡只是个面积只有700多平方公里的小岛国（其中还有约3%为原始森林），这个密度绝对可以说是惊人了！ 图源：海峡时报在新加坡，我们现在就能在各种场合，看到各式各样的电眼存在的痕迹。比如组屋的公共空间里： 图源：海峡时报电眼存在于各处停车场里，不管是室内的还是露天的： 图源：Todayonline它遍布全岛的小贩中心，你无所遁形：图源：早报随随便便走在路上，抬头一看往往就能发现一个摄像头：图源：路透社就是在巴士上，也逃不过： 图源：AsiaOne摄像头还存在于一些相对隐秘的校园图书馆里，“监管”着里面的人的一举一动：图片来自网络更夸张的场景是，有人某天在新加坡吃饭，不经意抬头时惊讶的发现，自己目视所及之处，居然有1、2、3......一共8个摄像头！可以说是全方位毫无死角！ 图片来自网络 还有些电眼，即使你在家中，但要是站在窗户旁做一些不文明的行为，都能清楚拍到你的身影。
F | 被拍到乱扔烟头的垃圾虫，图源：NEA需要说明的是，以上有些地方的摄像头，其实并不归属于警方，而是商家和私人为了自己安全需要自行安装的......真实数字只会更多。可以说，在新加坡生活，只要出了门，就很可能是毫无秘密可言。
G | 事实上，不仅是新加坡政府部门主动加装电眼，他们也鼓励私人这么做。去年，新加坡建屋局在面对媒体询问时表示，组屋住户现在无需再寻求其批准即可在家中安装面向走廊的闭路电视摄像头了。
H | 他们只需要避免让摄像头面向另一单位的门窗就行。（组屋外也是不能自行安装的哈） 另一方面，因为去年新加坡多家幼儿园频频爆出老师虐待孩童的事件。因此，新加坡幼儿培育署也公布了规定，从今年7月1日起， 新加坡所有学前教育机构都必须安装闭路电视。截至6月26日，约97%的幼儿园以及所有政府资助的婴幼儿早期介入中心都已完成安装。图源：早报有人说，在监控无处不在的时代，新加坡似乎已经成为了一个大型的《楚门的世界》？在新加坡生活的我们，或许都是一个又一个的楚门。新加坡人暧昧的态度新加坡 虽然处处都受着监控，但新加坡人的态度却相当令人感到玩味：支持，但不完全支持。2021年，李光耀公共政策学院政策研究所社会研究室做了一次调查，结果显示，新加坡人总体上是支持政府在公共场所进行某种形式的监控的。
I | 只有当监控的是电邮等私人空间、而且是在没有事先通知的情况下进行的，那他们就不乐意了。 来源：早报具体来看，约有三分之二的受访者认为，政府有权在公共场所对人们进行视频监控，但涉及到网上信息交换活动如电邮的监控权，只有略微超过25%同意政府这么做。另外一个很有趣的结果是，越是年长和较不富裕的群体，就越有可能支持政府的监控行为。
J | 图源：ChinaPress 上述调查似乎表明了这么一个重点：以破案之名使用科技，在很大程度上似乎能让人民接受。然而，一旦“过了头”，就会让人感觉活在一个被监视的城市里。这会让新加坡人感到不适。新加坡人对过度监控说不！新加坡人对于受监控如此暧昧又界限分明的态度，让椰子不禁想起了几年前新加坡抗疫期间发生的一件事。当时在新加坡的小伙伴都知道，新加坡政府研发了一款名叫“合力追踪（Tracetogether）”的应用程序，用来快速辨认可能与新冠确诊者有密切接触的人，指导政府的防疫工作。因此，这个APP一经推出，覆盖率一路直线上升。就是这么个玩意，图源：CNA一开始，政府信誓旦旦地表示，“合力追踪”数据的只会用在防疫工作，并且“再三保证”它是私密的。然而，在2021年1月举行的国会辩论中，时任内政部兼永续发展与环境部政务部长陈国明却这么说：在新加坡的刑事诉讼法下，警方有权索取任何数据，包括“合力追踪”数据，以用作刑事调查。 图源：8视界这瞬间引起了全岛热议......之前，在请愿网站上有人发动的“不愿穿戴Tracetogether追踪器”的联署，最终一路集结了55000多人的支持。来源：change.org在汹涌的舆论下，主管新加坡智慧国计划的外交部长维文医生（也是做出合力追踪数据不会公开的人），在陈国明发言的第二天紧急在国会上向公众做出澄清表示，截至到那会，只有一起谋杀案的调查动用到“合力追踪”的数据。
