It's a straight up shame we don't import more Vietnamese, probably due to their average income being double versus India. Still barely worth a squirt of piss, but measurably more. The few Vietnamese people I've worked with were bright and diligent, and after a while, very personable. Also, one's name was pronounced "Hugh Dang" but spelled "Huge Dong" and you can't put a dollar value on entertainment.

Keep in mind a lot of the Vietnamese you've seen is South Vietnamese stock, people that have rejected communism and have no other country but America.

Boy, the Dem infighting over this issue -- and especially the showing of the cleft between the Establishment wing and the young upstarts -- has to have Jonathan Greenblatt pulling his hair out.




Oh, that's right. Lmao

Idk how anyone ever thought he was trolling or baiting. He's over in the TES thread saying the exact same things in the exact same way constantly. He's a demoralized sperg whose sanity was stolen from him when Trump won in 2024. If you ever thought otherwise, you might genuinely be autistic. Typing "little guy" after a paragraph of undiluted, transparent seething should not be enough to trick you into thinking he's an epic internet troller.

Chaos by Tom O'neill.

Slight spoiler: The Greatest Generation used the the CIA, FBI and DARPA to run an unceasing series of gayops against the Boomers and Silents during the 60s, One of the highest profile outcomes being Charlie Manson and The Family. They subverted local law enforcement and the media (both news and entertainment) to then successfully run out the clock and were mostly dead before anyone successfully started piecing together what they had done.

Not exactly. Gen X was the first generation to realize coordinated, ideological subversion was all around us and the only way to win was to not play the game. The stereotype of Gen X being apathetic and uncaring about traditional norms of decorum and the nuclear family were born out of realizing those norms were the prongs of the subversion all along.

Go to church. Go to work. White picket fence. 2.5 kids. Own a house. Get a pension and a gold watch after 30 years.

All of these are built on a false premise that these securities are yours for the taking if you just "submit". Nod along with what the news man says is good or bad and keep plugging in the right people into the right positions of power and you'll have a nice life. The 90's were all about rejecting this from a generational perspective and the conservatives who were pushing it on everyone are STILL seething about it, even as they die off.

Apparently one the biggest and longest investors in Cracker Barrel warned the AWFL CEO 4 times that her plan was going to wreck the company and she dismissed him every time. He also warned about a bunch of other stuff, all which has come to pass. In response he wrote a scathing letter to the board as an investor detailing everything they fucked up and how none of them know what the fuck they're doing.

I'd quote some of it but honestly the whole thing is a great read, both for seeing the inner workings of an investor's mind and it's also a hoot to see someone try to be as nasty as possible while still using corpospeak so the morons on the board can still understand him. Apparently he wrote this last October but his warnings were almost prophetic. Of course anyone with a room temperature IQ could have also called this.

It's the kind of thing @JohnDoe would probably get a kick reading.

Hate to give credit to a Jeet (Sardar Biglari) but he fucking nailed it. Good to see an investor who isn't interested in gutting the asset he bought, but is more interested in its steady growth.
 
Would this be considered a biological attack?

A Maryland lawyer faces a felony assault charge for allegedly spitting on two members of the National Guard at Union Station last week.

Just after 4:40 p.m. Friday, two South Carolina National Guard members were patrolling in uniform outside Union Station when a man, identified in charging documents as Scott J. Pichon, rode up to them on a Lime scooter. In a statement of facts, Amtrak Police Sergeant Robert Underwood said he heard a noise like Pichon was coughing up mucus, and then saw him spit saliva and mucus at the two National Guardsmen.

His spit struck one Guardsman in the face and the other in the neck, according to a statement of facts filed in federal court in D.C.

Pichon, 33, was arrested on a federal warrant Tuesday and made his initial appearance in court the same day on felony charges of forcibly assaulting and making physical contact with the National Guard members. Magistrate Judge G. Michael Harvey released him on his own recognizance without objection from the U.S. Attorney's Office.

During the hearing, Harvey asked Pichon to verify his highest level of educational attaintment.

"Juris doctor," Pichon said.

Maryland State Bar records show Pichon has been licensed to practice law in the state since 2019.

Two hundred South Carolina National Guard troops were deployed to D.C. in addition to the District's troops early last week. They're joined by forces from West Virginia, Ohio, Tennessee, Louisiana and Mississippi. The National Guard have been patrolling D.C. since Aug. 11 as a part of President Donald Trump's federal policing surge. Since Aug. 7, federal agencies have also been patrolling and making arrests in the District. The National Guard does not have the power to make arrests.

Pichon is not the first person to be charged with assault during the federal surge. Another man, Sean Dunn, was arrested two weeks ago for allegedly throwing a Subway sandwich at a federal officer. U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro said he would be charged with felony assault, though he was released after prosecutors said they had no basis to argue he should be detained.

Pichon was ordered to return to court on Sept. 16 for a preliminary hearing unless a grand jury indictment is returned first.
