Obsession, the most fun job in China, and a new green card policy

Economic indicators from China and the United States reveal shifting labor dynamics and tightening immigration controls. In China, a single job posting for two shepherd positions in rural Inner Mongolia attracted over 700 applicants, including university graduates, signaling deep dissatisfaction with the grueling "996" work culture in urban manufacturing. Meanwhile, the U.S. film industry is seeing a disruption in traditional distribution as horror movies like *Obsession*, created by YouTube content creators for under $1 million, achieve massive box office success through viral digital marketing. Concurrently, a significant policy shift by the Trump administration now requires immigrants seeking green cards via "adjustment of status" to return to their home countries to apply, potentially displacing many of the 1.4 million annual recipients. These developments highlight a global trend where traditional employment and legal pathways are becoming increasingly volatile or restrictive.
