印度这个国家,落后不是没有理由的。
Sexual crimes against women are widespread in India, but brutal cases of rape and assault are often dealt with poorly under the country’s justice system.
In 2017, a Delhi High Court judge said a man deserved “the benefit of the doubt” while acquitting him on rape charges, adding a “feeble ‘no’” could still signal willingness on the part of an alleged victim.
In another case in January 2021, a Bombay High Court Judge found that a 39-year-old man was not guilty of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl as he had not removed her clothes, meaning there was no skin-on-skin contact.
On Monday, 11 men jailed for life for the gang-rape of a pregnant Muslim woman during Hindu-Muslim riots in 2002 were freed on remission, drawing condemnation from the victim’s family, lawyers and politicians.

降通膨法案通过,多数要到明年才有感!
众院12日通过「降通膨法案」,准备采取历史性的行动对抗气候变迁、降低处方签药价,盼能消除民众面临高通膨的痛苦;
虽然该法案部分内容可即刻或在2023年年初生效,但有些政策却得耗时多年,国会山庄报(The Hill)整理处此案的影响时程。
降低药价、漫漫长路
「可负担健保」(Affordable Care Act)计划补助早已生效,降通膨法案可再延长此补助三年。
联邦医疗保险(Medicare)糖尿病病患每月的胰岛素药价上限35元,此条款2023年生效;
制药公司若对Medicare病患用药涨价高于通膨,须退款给政府,此规定也在2023年生效。
Medicare病患购药自付额规定每年上限为2000元,要到2025年开始;
Medicare到2026年可协商十种药物的成本价,2029年再扩大到20种药物。
气候变迁条款则很快可见效果,有些规定立即生效,有些则等到明年初。
多数居家干净能源减免即刻生效,而且适用于今年购买的相关商品;
目前购买新电动车最多可抵税7500元,这项政策将延长至2032年,明年起购买二手电动车则可获4000元减税。
至于生产氢等干净能源的公司2023年起可获减税补助;
企业若投资干净能源生产和能源安全,明年初也可获减税。
民主党智库「第三条路」(Third Way)气候及能源计划负责人佛里德(Josh Freed)表示:「月复一月,年复一年,消费者将可享有愈来愈可负担的干净能源。」
新税规定随之而来
除了减税与补助,该法案也将实施许多税务新规。
根据该法案,国税局(IRS)将获800亿元加强查税,一旦签署立法后就会即刻拨款。
2023年1月开始的新纳税年度,联邦政府将对企业征收最少15%的新税,并对回购股票课征1%的税。
期中选举剩下不到三个月,民主党将把通过此法案列为一大政绩,不过有鉴于该法案中许多规定要到期中选举后才生效,恐难成功说服部分选民。
尽管如此,白宫一名高层官员乐观表示一旦拜登总统将此案签署立法,美国人至少能很快感受到部分影响「很多规定很快上路,民众可即刻在生活中感受到;其他规定也会接踵生效。」

(中英文)大乘妙法莲华经讲记
People are desperately fighting, desperately taking, we do not care. We should become great Buddhas and bodhisattvas, practicing freedom, liberation and fearlessness. Take a good look at what is called "treasure pure". If you are not "pure", you cannot be freed.
人家在拼命地争、拼命地夺,我们不屑一顾。我们要成为大佛、大菩萨,修自在解脱、大无畏。好好观照什么叫「宝净」,你不「净」,不得解脱。
