My only working explanatory hypothesis right now is that billionaires and authoritarians *Literally* thrive on human misery; that if people aren't suffering then all their money and power don't actually sustain them, and that cruelty & sheer horror are the only things that flow through their veins.

Obat dan pangan dilarang bergantung ke impor tapi penggunaan AI didorong bangey padahal jelas2 100% impor.

Indonesia’s path to scaling nutrition responsibly India’s school feeding program provides valuable lessons for Indonesia’s Free Nutritious Meal (Makan Bergizi Gratis) program.

MBG pada prinsipnya bagus. Problem utamanya memang di implementasi. Salah satu kuncinya adalah partisipasi publik untuk pengawasan. Makanya sebenernya aneh kalo malah dilarang upload foto, padahal ini justru salah satu syarat sukses program seperti ini.

Literally all he did was quote someone. Defining criticism of the government as treason is what authoritarians do. Turning a publicly funded news outlet into a state media propaganda machine is what authoritarians do.
