May Day! May Day!

Happy May Day from the Toner and Jenny and Me!

The wife has us going furniture shopping on this May Day holiday.

Francis Fukuyama on China.  He talks about the weakness of central government authority.   I can attest to that here in Jiangsu.  The central government passed a law giving workers a week-long paid holiday in compensation for the replacement of golden week-long holidays with more one-day holidays.  People cynically say that companies around here won't obey the law. 

It is standard practice of many employers here to make their employees work other days to make up for the days lost because of a national holiday.
