Lights don't do shit for safety, and the safest way to use cars is to not.
too noisy, too many people (leads my brain to go into hyper-vigilance mode), too closed in, too much light pollution (can't see stars at night), and not enough green
Your last three points are an issue of urban design (and arguably the first one as well).
Quick someone get on the phone and tell Gorbachev before he destroys the USSR

How is that?
Australia has huge reserves of rare earths.
Australia also has huge reserves of cobalt too, but it's cheaper to fuck up the DRC with violence and pollution, force kids to mine it and then write articles hand wringing about the ~ moral implications of modernity ~ without mentioning there are viable alternatives.
Here is a good article - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3776089/
The response to COVID-19 suggests much of the lib author's hand wringing about challenges are easily surmounted if the political will exists.
It also demonstrates some improvement over the last couple of decades from the excesses in the late 90s, and reforms have slowly improved the system (but I still think it's comparable tinkering around the edges).
But again, the response to covid clearly shows at least for healthcare there is a "press to implement socialist healthcare" button.
Any marketised and fragmented insurance approach will necessarily be less efficient at delivering good health outcomes than a comparatively centrally planned one.
The reason was going to far looking to the US in the 1980s. The original CPC healthcare model was very different.
There have been some gradual improvements however
In 2017, the comprehensive reform pilot of urban public hospitals was fully carried out, with 93.9 percent of urban public hospitals canceling drug markup, effectively controlling the unreasonable growth of medical expenses in public hospitals. In May 2018, the National Healthcare Security Administration was formally established as an institution directly under The State Council. China’s medical security undertakings entered the stage of development in a more standardized way, with comprehensive reform of public hospitals, canceled drug markups, official drug purchase with volume, DRGS and other new policies
it's steadily improving, even if it's not universally free at point of service yet
That's like saying American healthcare is steadily improving (pointing at ACA) even if it's not universally free at point of service yet.
China's health insurance model is just as systemically broken as the US's health insurance model, and the only effective resolution will be dumping the entire system.
The cost argument is a cop out, just look at Cuba.
I can accept that Xi wants to focus on strengthening the CPC's foundations (particularly after the more liberal period) and develop China's productive capacity.

There's a phenotypic difference but most of the underlying mutations arose in Africa, with the genes producing darker skin phenotypes being selected out over time
I'm sorry but you clearly don't know anything about some of the mechanisms available to US prosecutors.
A grand jury, for example, is conventionally convened in secret without a judge or defence to dispute any of the evidence provided.
The entire point of RICO laws for another example was to drastically reduce the evidentiary burden to prosecute high ranking organised crime figures.
You can probably get him on something with RICO, those laws are fucking wild
