Just realized that the first video on YouTube is a dick joke.

I don’t work in a kitchen anymore but the amount of single-use plastic used in chain restaraunts is soul crushing. Most folks have no idea

The hands of a government man

Move aside Fedditiziens. Don’t feed the troll.

Anyone remember when the guy from Joe Schmo show was asked if he’d donate any of his money to charity?

“I’m a charity case myself.”

Old Soviet Joke:

Q: How do you find the mass of a Red Hot Chile Pepper?

A: Give it a weight, give it a weigh, give it a weight, now!

Sorry, someone had to do it 😎😎

Lord of the Rings! Ditto for most of the YA film adoptions from the last twenty years

The live version of Grey Stone Chapel by Cash almost makes me want to go to church everytime I hear it

Reading the article would be a good way to find out

I’m just going to take that website at its face value because I’ve never heard of it but China’s ranking is just below the US itself and far above other countries in SEA. Is it the best possible scenario? No. Are American SBOs the Devil for manufacturing in China (versus Vietnam, Thailand, etc.)? No.

What part of “small business” do you not understand? Most SBOs are nowhere near the 1% and manufacturing wages in China are pretty competitive globally, not to mention their manufacturing infrastructure is the only in the world capable of handling certain build demands. Your perception of China seems ~20 years out of date.

What kind of political power did/does he have and how many people are “above” him socially/politically? In other words, was he just a high-rankimg party member or an actual governor? I don’t personally consider anything below ~2 levels from the top to be an oligarch.

Thanks! I’d like to post more regularly on my part but just dropping images from mobile feels lazy and I haven’t had much time in front of my desktop to properly format posts recently. Hope to see you there!

Says who? Billionaire investors and regulators for a newly-elected President who saw an imaginary red line go up for two consecutive quarters? “Peace for our times.” The '08 crash was (is) massive and will be the defining event of the 21st century for future historians. Literally nothing but WW3 could overshadow it’s legacy.

Notice how the “timeline” section doesn’t end with “and then everything went back to normal in June 2009.” Tens of trillions of dollars evaporated overnight.

Selections:

2011: Median household wealth fell 35% in the U.S., from $106,591 to $68,839 between 2005 and 2011.

2014: A report showed that the distribution of household incomes in the United States became more unequal during the post-2008 economic recovery, a first for the United States but in line with the trend over the last ten economic recoveries since 1949.

2017: Per the International Monetary Fund, from 2007 to 2017, “advanced” economies accounted for only 26.5% of global GDP (PPP) growth while emerging and developing economies accounted for 73.5% of global GDP (PPP) growth.

A shrinking median household incomes, racial wealth inequality, the rise of non-Western economies, do these not sound like contemporary issues to you?

Dunno about 2002 but '08-present day is 100% the same event
