Labubu: From Blind Boxes to Bank Giveaways — A Carnival of Distorted Desire
Recently, a 4-foot-tall Labubu figure sold for over $170,000 in Beijing. At the same time, China’s banking regulator issued a ban: banks are no longer allowed to use Labubu as a customer incentive gift.

Is Blockchain a Scam? Maybe What You Lost Wasn’t Money—But a Chance

Most rules aren’t written by the people who live under them.They’re created by those with power, resource...
