Because they took leftist votes for granted.

Dems always expect the left to fall in line and back them, hence why they feel they are free to consistently move further right rather than to appeal to the wishes of their voters, because after all, what are the leftists going to do, vote Trump?

Until now, ambulance drivers worked out the charges themselves, often leading to complaints from members of the public who felt that their bills were too high, The Beijing News says.

In February, Chinese media reported that a man in Shandong was slapped with a 3,600-yuan ($550; £380) charge after his ill father was transported 80km to hospital. That's about half the monthly wage of an average Beijing worker.


Do Chinese really have to pay for ambulances or is that just their governments propaganda.

 

South Korea's military confirmed the launch while Japan's coast guard also said a projectile believed to be a North Korea-fired missile had fallen.

 

While China has been making many moves over the past few years to buttress its claim over the territory of India, the latest one comes just 10 days after the Special Representatives of the two nations restarted the boundary negotiation, which was stalled for almost five years.
