  1. This is a lesson to all parents. If you want your kid to be bilingual, teach them at an early age.

  2. Props to the valet driver that squared up with him.

  3.  @jennysneckpillow1971  Actually, do force them. My parents didn't force me to learn Korean as a kid. And, it's one of my biggest regrets in life. It's extremely hard to learn a language later in life if you aren't naturally language skilled.

  4. Well, now it makes more sense. Spurlock had just turned 26 and was a veteran of the 82nd Airborne Division of the U.S. Army, joining in 2016 according to his mother. He also reportedly suffered from PTSD and traumatic brain injuries and retired medically from service. He was the father of three, the oldest being five.
    2200
  5. People have to remember that we only had the internet for a few years when this movie came out. This movie was mind blowing for many of us.
    2000
  6. lol, old white people don't like to be lectured by a young brown dude. Hasan is sharp though.
    1800
  7. I think the women’s kick was most impressive. No launch aid, just running and kicking.
    1800
  8. This is going to cost millions on millions in settlements. And every victim deserves the money.
    1800
  9. What the heck? Lee Yoo-ri is 40 and Park Ha-na is 34. Totally nuts.
    1400
  10. As an American, I've always been embarrassed because I know we can have a bad reputation as tourists. But, we are choir boys compared to CCP China. And, my opinions were formed over a decade about this. People need to realize that you are a guest when traveling to another country and have no special rights.
    1400
  11. lol, so the dude didn't want to split his police pension with his wife and get a divorce. Man, people are stupid.
    1400
  12. As an American, I’m fascinated by the PM questions process. A mixture of politeness and “rudeness” combined.
    1300
  13. Probably not a good thing that frozen places for 3000 years are suddenly becoming unfrozen.
    1300
  14. Someone should sue Fox again.
    1100
  15. Tom Cruise is a crazy Scientologist and we look past it because we love his dedication to his films.
    868
  16. Man, they stole our designs / schematics and they still can't figure it out, lol.
    832
  17. lol, if Orban is against him, he's a good pick.
    798
  18. Totally agree, insane. Zero chance Trump is ever writing 14 pages of anything.
    795
  19. I’ll be honest. He’s always sounded like an idiot to me. Doesn’t seem that much different.
    781
  20. If they are doing this to the Han Chinese, just imagine what they are doing to the Uyghurs and people in Tibet.
    674
  21. lol, if someone is writing a book called "Jesus Christ, Money Master", you might want to think twice about this guy.
    670
  22. They need to drag the FSB officer for 60 miles and see if he talks.
    666
  23. About the same chance as Prigozhin living a fruitful life after the attempted coup.
    666
  24. That's about my brother's age difference. I was in 8th grade at age 12 and he was in 12th grade. And, as an 8th grader, I wouldn't want to hang out with 17 year old. Would have been weird to hang out with my brother and his friends.
    665
  25. The sad part is these cops would have taken action on the stalking if it was their daughter.
    617
  26. Not discussing that the payouts for the pension system support the retired government workers instead of the public is borderline criminal.
    576
  27. Love how Poland is just saying f’ it. Also, they are diversifying their tank supply if Germany gets annoyed. It is kinda crazy. The whole reason all these tanks were bought was…against possible Russian aggression.
    565
  28. She killed it. I've watched all the WHCDs and she's near the top. Solid writing material that was relevant and didn't use the rehash "cspan" and "Hilton" targets. Knew when to take appropriate pauses for impact and barely used any notes. The order and transitions of the jokes were masterful for any standup act.
    541
  29. Yeah, I feel like there is a missed opportunity here. Something like a plexiglass home with tunnels and hiding spots.
    512
  30. This journalist is nuts. She goes to the most dangerous places.
    507
  31. The house isn’t in Seoul. Like everyone in the globe, real estate is much cheaper when you go outside the city.
    489
  32. Inappropriate humor: it's pretty comical they have to wait for the drones to arrive. It's like a pizza delivery warfare.
    484
  33. Wanting to track women's menstrual cycle is...weird and gross.
    482
  34. Here's the deal: if you want to be / are a criminal, don't run for POTUS and have all your dirty laundry aired out. It's that simple.
    465
  35. The irony is the chaebols offer the best pay packages because they aren't just domestic brands and get revenue from outside of Korea.
    450
  36. Congrats Xi! I called this months ago. It's the worst possible scenario. Inflation in necessities and deflation in discretionary goods. The higher prices in necessities is crushing discretionary items even more. Economies run off discretionary purchases.
    444
  37. Finally. It’s countries like Finland and Azerbaijan standing up to Russia.
    436
  38. Congrats Putin. Germany is beginning to re-arm and Finland is joining NATO.
    425
  39. Parents: Russian Older Son: English w/ accent Youngest daughter: American accent The immigrant story of America and how fast the generations assimilate.
    414
  40. It's a perfect immigrant family. Forced their kids into their new location's culture, but still teach them their heritage.
    390
  41. Very shameful that we (the US) have delayed military aid for political reasons. Just terrible.
    388
  42. US Catholic Church is going to flip out. Edit: doesn't seem like people know, but there has been a long "schism" with Pope Francis and the Cardinals / leadership in the US. Pope Francis fired a Texas Bishop recently. Also, he took away a retired US Cardinal's Vatican privileges.
    387
  43. If they can track down a dude wanted for over 30 years, finding weapons stashes ain't going to be so hard.
    382
  44. HOW THE FUCK IS SOMETHING BEING CONTESTED WHEN IT'S PROVEN TO BE SAFE AFTER 20+ YEARS?
    370
  45. 1- she's has a execution pit 2- she killed her dog for being a dog 3- she bragged about it 4- she's doubling down (insert any serial killer)
    370
  46. Wait, what? Russia invaded their sovereign territory. I'm surprised they waited this long.
    369
  47. Don’t get a massive amount of tattoos if you plan on being a fugitive. Also, try not to murder people.
    367
  48. So, basically Iran was operating directly out of Lebanon.
    361
  49. Literally, no one says this. There are known for their live singing performances. They are the purest (well known) musical female group since Brown Eyed Girls. But, thats ok. Kpop isn't always about singing. Teens / young adults drive the industry.
    358
  50. 90 days after wife dies? Geez, it’s taken me longer to recover from a normal breakup.
    351
  51. “Just following orders”: exact line from the Germans from WWII. Jimenez said that the officers were "pretty cordial" after his arrest, showed "no animosity" and weren't violent. He said he was told by the officer who led him away, "Look, I don't know, man. I'm just following orders"
    349
  52. McCain was way more moderate in the 2000s. Wanted immigration reform, and was worried about climate change. Its a shame that Ted Kennedy and McCain were so old in these last few decades. The Senate needed some of the old guard that worked together well.
    332
  53. Hell hath no fury like 2 scientist parents wanting justice for their daughter.
    332
  54. Only going to get worse. Becomes a domino effect that is nearly irreversible. - Real estate lower - Exports lower - Government spending nearly maxed out All that will result in lower consumer spending.
    332
  55. The most important thing a city can do is…invest in a sprawling subway system. Seoul has 640 stations. Cairo has 74. Makes it much easier to spread housing out when people can move around easy. (And, Seoul still has an affordable housing problem.)
    320
  56. My man lucked out. Dude saved himself a lifetime of bloodsucking. Better to happen before the wedding than after.
    319
  57. Korea’s system is very hierarchical. Should a low level person be punished for his / her whole life when it wasn’t their responsibility? Seems a bit harsh.
    311
  58. Flying is the easy part. Maintenance is going to be the bigger learning curve. Also, the old Migs can land anywhere and can have decentralized locations. F-16 needs a standard runway which is going to make their holding areas a big target for drone / missile attacks.
    309
  59. Just read the Wikipedia. Parental neglect. Only friend moved away. Dog died. Was sending off warning signs that the parents ignored. This was preventable.
    302
  60. The shock / contrast of having Trump following Obama will setup Obama up well for the history books. Man, Trump can't even speak regular coherent sentences.
    301
  61. No one is having more fun than Michael Cohen these days.
    295
  62. Don't ever let anyone compare this to Japan. Japan peaked at 5.5% unemployment. But, Pooh Bear will change the numbers and won't report higher than 6%.
    274
  63. As an ethnic Korean, I can't imagine that after the South Koreans, US and allies were pushed down to Busan, Congress would have been like "hey, maybe we should debate the funding a bit more and be worried about (fake) corruption and not fund it. Let the Soviets, Chinese and North Koreans take over the whole peninsula."
    273
  64. lol, she was complaining that her business was doing poorly due to "regulations" and the CA government. When in reality, she alienated her customer base.
    269
  65. I’ve never heard of diplomatic immunity in your home country. Hint: it doesn’t exist in normal countries
    267
  66. The dude has been prepped by lawyers very well with his disclaimers.
    264
  67. I’d rather swim in the Red Sea dodging sharks, Somalia pirates and Houthis missiles than go to a Trump rally.
    262
  68. It's crazy that we have normal Congress people like this guy and then people like Taylor Greene. They are on different planets.
    261
  69. At this point, Dominion should sue Trump's lawyers for defamation.
    260
  70. This is what you call a death spiral. Not enough tax revenue, so salaries are cut. People spend less and even less tax revenue.
    260
  71. I’m shocked…there were no objections or interruptions. Prosecutor is good. Just laying out the facts of the case. No nonsense.
    257
  72. Trump appointed FBI Director, Christopher Wray.
    253
  73. Well, it’s been a great run America. We are Rome and rotting from within.
    240
  74. The family of 9 details is terrible: mother, 2 daughters (high school age), son (middle school age), grandparents and part of the sister's family.
    237
  75. Same. Your typical Korean conservative parents. Although, a lot of the crazy Korean-Americans I’ve met came from traditional families. The states changes people.
    236
  76. Sejeong has a great personality. Just feels like she’s going to last long and have a nice career.
    235
  77. I think it’s fair to comment on cultural differences that played a role in students listening to authority figures in Korea. There is zero chance as a high school kid that I’m hanging out in the bottom of a ship that is titling. In the US, we learn to challenge authority, critical think and make decisions at a young age. No one is blaming the kids.
    235
  78. I occasionally watch a few Japanese food / restaurant videos. Everyone politely lines up and waits. Chinese society is terrible.
    231
  79. Good pick. He’s got a good mixture of looks + a bit of toughness.
    224
  80. Avoid any floor above ground. Watch out for the poison agents.
    224
  81. Polls don't matter. Vote.
    223
  82. The world definitely needs more people like him.
    221
  83.  @matchachoc  I don't think you are familiar with Korean culture. And the power that superiors hold over you. Lower level people are not allowed to think or act on their own.
    207
  84. My birth country is weird. Product placement in TV shows is the norm, but people get mad about YouTube people.
    206
  85. It will eventually be banned. I miss the old NK YouTube channel because it was a bit comical. This is a bit more insidious since it involves a kid.
    205
  86. Here we go: the popo thinks they can arrest / remove the media. The American empire is done.
    204
  87. You must not speak Korean. Korean people can be very direct.
    203
  88. Pretty bad when I’m reminiscing about the “good old days” of W.
    202
  89. To be fair, if a Korean model did this, Korea would flip out.
    200
  90. lol, the CCP literally built a sand castle to try to hold back the water. These people never played at the beach as a kid.
    199
  91. Drove that road many times in the past. Always a bit freaky. Big shoutout to the first responders. Top notch crew.
    199
  92. Lawyer or no lawyer, the dude was toast. They had way too much physical evidence.
    199
  93. It's disgusting how angry these people are. No wonder their viewers are depressed and angry all the time.
    195
  94.  @ChrisB-xw7un  Naw, post-2016, the 82nd was still getting to deployed to Iraq / Syria and Afghanistan. Just in way lower numbers.
    195
  95. lol, North Korea can supply weapons to Russia, but South Korea doesn't have the same right for Ukraine?
    194
  96. I miss their old official channel. It was unintentional comedy gold.
    193
  97. When China was still doing the peasant thing, we were buying Sony Walkmans and Nintendo. Anyone that is GenX has great fondness for Japanese products.
    191
  98. Ironically, the best thing for his career was his 2 year military enlistment.
    191
  99. Korean government should be sponsoring language schools in Koryo-saram areas internationally. Won't be the magic bullet, but any population growth / immigration is a positive to offset the low birth rate.
    190
  100. Just to clear up the Japanese part: there was a Japanese TV crew in the area earlier. Dude just thought it was a similar crew.
    188
  101. Actually, it’s easy. She probably gets away with everything since there is chaos going on.
    186
  102. McCarthy should have been working with the Dems the whole time. When your Speakership margin is razor thin, you have to compromise with the other side.
    184
  103. Not sure if "giving money" to Ukraine is the right wording. How about...funding Ukraine military operations to stop a dictator from stealing more European land.
    182
  104. That really is the key. Get a bunch of foreign people together and they'll converse in English. It's the only language in the world that crosses over like this.
    181
  105. Actually, only the retired members of GOP are standing up.
    181
  106. While the European settlers realized American was bountiful in natural resources, no one would have expected this. Really are fortunate: energy, arable land, relatively good weather.
    181
  107. Korea has a Koryo-saram special visa program. They extended it to 4th generation. Ethically the right thing to do + can do a small part for population growth.
    180
  108. - I'm surprised she did hire a bigger profile lawyer. Must not be for a big amount - she's suing because HE STOPPED PAYMENTS ON THE PRIOR SETTLEMENT Grant previously agreed to a three million settlement in exchange for signing a non-disclosure agreement in 2022. But she has filed a new lawsuit against McMahon, the WWE and a former executive, claiming McMahon stopped making payments after the initial one million installment, and she now seeks to void that agreement. 3- Why would you not pay out of pocket to avoid this mess? It's a measly few million. The dude banked 2.6 billion from the WWE sale.
    179
  109. I hate when people punch downwards. It's cowardly. If you want to make comedy, do it sideways or upwards.
    177
  110. The US has no issue in donating the Abrams except it creates horrible logistical / maintenance problems for UA. Germany doesn't even have to donate their tanks, but its giving the approval to other countries to donate their own stock. Edit: Mark Hertling, former Commanding General of United States Army Europe and the Seventh Army, has some good commentary about this. You can find him on the site that the douchebag bought recently for $44B. His quote: Talk to me after repairing an Abrams turbine "pack."
    176
  111. Meanwhile, Tokyo has been investing billions in their flood tunnel system for the past 20 years. Isn't perfect, but at least they are trying to address the problem.
    169
  112. Owners of certain breeds should be required to take a class on dog safety, annual license fee and insurance. These breeds are a menace.
    167
  113. Elon Musk joked about the Nagasaki and Hiroshima bombings. These people are weird and inhumane. Edit: wait, I just realized he wasn't joking. That's even worse.
    165
  114. Call me conservative, but when you are a “normal” citizen and getting full neck tattoos, something ain’t right. Man, this dude better not get a reduced sentence due to drinking.
    165
  115. Disgusting that a public school university's foundation is using funds to send a Federal judge on a junket. That money should be for students.
    161
  116. Talk about a 180 degree turn. Massive floods with dam releases to dried up rivers.
    160
  117. Another loser that can’t handle a breakup. All these “alpha” dudes act strong, but are so weak minded.
    159
  118. Even in the UFC, that type of kick is illegal. I'm guessing this will be a $1M settlement eventually.
    157
  119. I refuse to take a test as I don't want these companies to sell my DNA data.
    156
  120. Video got there near the end. Suspects are South Koreans and not local Thais.
    156
  121. The carrier that needs a permanent tug boat escort.
    155
  122. WTF. It’s supposed to be dangerous and push your body and mind to the limit. But, they should have medical personnel nearby.
    152
  123.  @matchachoc  I'm Korean. The Sewol is a tragedy and it sucks. I still believe in fairness in punishment. The punishment for lower level people should not be equitable to the higher ranks. Every society has its pros and cons.
    152
  124. lol, basically HYBE fronted all the cash to launch the group. Now, the group is generating profit and she wants all the money. That's not how contract law works. "Hey, take all the risk. If it does poorly, then your loss. If it does well, my gain."
    152
  125. Probably the last time that HK people can criticize the governments. Wouldn't be surprised if criticizing the bridge falls under the new national security law.
    152
  126. Coward was trying using innocent civilians as a shield.
    152
  127. However, in Japan — where sleek, high-speed trains are famous for arrivals and departures that you could set your watch by — leaving a station just 25 seconds early is nothing short of a disgrace. That is what happened earlier this month at Notogawa Station in the central Shiga Prefecture, when a train mistakenly pulled away from the platform almost a half-minute ahead of schedule – at 7:11:35 a.m. instead of 7:12. "The great inconvenience we placed upon our customers was truly inexcusable," Japan Railways said in a statement about the May 11 incident involving a Shinkansen bullet train.
    146
  128. That's why the Soviets were very formidable. They had their own design / engineering creativity unlike the Chinese.
    143
  129. Even with quality materials and expert engineering / construction standards, extreme hot / cold weather will kill infrastructure / buildings. Good luck with the tofu dreg ones.
    143
  130. Totally crazy. Being a stepmom or people adopting kids isn't enough now? Why are they so insistent on telling others what they can and can't do? What is wrong with these people?
    137
  131. Man, they have f-ing guts.
    134
  132. Was thinking the same thing. This is the hard right group with the hawkish position.
    133
  133. RIP. Just awful way to go out. Had to make the decision to jump. Then, muster up the courage. And, miss the landing. The second person should have waited (obviously). Fire department has to take some responsibility and make sure there are ropes to stabilize the air cushion. Even a heavy breeze would flip that thing without something holding it down.
    133
  134. Korea generally has been ahead of the curve on tech adoption. They develop things in the local market and it allows them to roll it out to other regions.
    132
  135. It's so crazy what Pooh Bear implemented in a matter of 2 years: Aug '20: 3 red lines for real estate developers Nov '20: Went after tech companies / Alibaba Jul '21: crackdown on private education companies 2022: hard lockdowns All while they were doing zero covid. Middle school educated Pooh Bear was a genius!
    131
  136. lol, IBM hasn’t been on the cutting edge in decades. Pooh Bear was stealing 2nd rate tech and research,
    130
  137. “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” -Xi
    129
  138. That dude is one big scammer.
    127
  139. I'm glad she didn't get confused and think that he was giving her the gold medal.
    126
  140. He never used a teleprompter in the past. He's one of the few people that are exponentially better without using notes / teleprompter.
    125
  141. Seems odd. The US government tracks every transaction over $10K. And, we can’t figure out if $10M is suspect?
    125
  142. At the minimum, Xi should be referred to only "Balloon boy" from now on.
    124
  143. Never heard one Palestinian denounce Hamas.
    124
  144. As an Asian, I grew up on the East Coast. Ended up moving to the West Coast. Much easier to live out there.
    124
  145. What people don't understand is there are many multiples of companies that are "experts" in their contribution to building a fab. It's not that China has to replicate TSMC, they have to replicate every single company in the pipeline that contributes to the process.
    122
  146. I like when foreign born reporters are the ones asking the questions. They ask it in a way that's like, "are you f-ing crazy?".
    121
  147.  @unixsuperuser  You could tell he had 3 kids and separated from his kids mother?
    121
  148. I'm sorry. I would never change my political affiliation for a significant other.
    120
  149. I know she likes journalism, but she should be working for the State dept or intelligence agencies. Edit: idiots in the comments have no idea of the core responsibilities of State and CIA. It's analysis you fools.
    119
  150. Just because you hear sirens, it’s hard to pinpoint the direction at times. Got into the same type of accident as a teenager. We weren’t hit flush though and it spun the car.
    114
  151. Didn’t call for backup when the dude had warrants and continuously ignored / no eyes on the dude. No clue if the dude had weapons. Totally bonkers.
    114
  152. Why is this shocking? The FSB said they stopped an ISIS attack in Moscow on March 7th.
    114
  153. Was listening to a podcast about Russia and their fertility rate. Russia raised the divorce fees nearly 10x, lol. I wonder if China will do something similar.
    114
  154. No one really looks at maps until geopolitics happen. Never realized that Okinawa is closer to Taiwan than the Japanese mainland. And, Taketomi Island is only 300km from Taiwan.
    114
  155. I was the only minority department head at one of the companies I worked at previously. It's totally insulting if someone called me a DEI promotion / hire.
    113
  156. A few things: the planning took weeks if not months. The blitzkrieg to Moscow was effective, but they needed more military units to defect. Also, needed some political support. Some units defected. Some were passive. No real political support. Moscow was going to blow / dismantle the bridges on the 3 main highways. RU Air Force was still active. Air Force would have tried to pin them down near the bridges until troops could be moved from UA and other parts of RU. Wagner had Moscow ground defenses outgunned and had infantry soldiers. Moscow had cops and national guard. Pretty hard to stop the Wagner tanks without ATGMs.
    113
  157. Sad what our country has become. Was much better when things were close to the center.
    113
  158. Weird. Didn’t even realize this happens in Korea. Lived there for over a year. Thought I was going to die becuase it was so hot in the summer.
    112
  159. It's relatively cheap for a bomb / rocket. It's basically a MacGyver rocket. Takes a current bomb and they slap a rocket on it. Only costs about $40K. GMLRS rockets around 3x the amount. ATACMS are close to $1M+.
    112
  160. Korea will not supply directly. Indirectly, yes. Directly, no.
    112
  161. China is playing Chess. Trump is playing tic-tac-toe.
    109
  162. I’m no military strategist, but sure seems silly to have your maintenance area thousands of miles from your home port.
    109
  163. lol, skipped one of the biggest ones for Americans: white bread.
    108
  164. 0:49 they must have used the wrong picture. Dude looked 40 in the mugshot.
    107
  165. This is so...weird to my ears. Hearing a POTUS using complete sentences and a normal thought process.
    107
  166.  @nekowafer4017  Listening to authority and respecting elders is something that is ingrained into Korean culture for over 1,000 years. It's not going to change. Why do people twist words for fit their own opinions? Explaining how things work isn't the same thing as an "excuse" or deflecting blame. It's a method of understanding why things happen. People rarely do drugs in Korea and everyone tries drugs in the states. Should Korea be able to dictate to the US why drugs are bad? No, its a societal difference and helps people understand different cultures.
    106
  167. lol, she wasn't elected. She was "appointed" Vice President. Damn Rogan, this ain't Gerald Ford. She was elected VPOTUS.

  168. 5 years seems a bit aggressive since they weren’t minors.
    104
  169. Whoa, did not know he followed the girl for 800 meters. That's more than 5 minutes. Guy is toast. Kinda throws out the "random act" of violence.
    103
  170. No one wants innocent people to die. In the same vein, it's hard to muster up any sympathy for Russia in general.
    103
  171. Wait, what happened to limited government?
    102
  172. Doesn't matter what culture, the maknae always has a tough time.
    101
  173. Never trust people that only switch their tune when it hits them personally. Selfish people with no empathy.
    100
  174. I hope they all enjoy the process and experience. And, have a level head on the success rate. Kpop is no different than professional sports. A tiny percent of a tiny percent will even get paid in the lower levels.
    100
  175. lol, retaliation? Are they going to invade Ukraine again?
    100
  176. Going from unfinished real estate to unfinished cars, lol.
    100
  177. Greedy Chinese think they can break the laws of economics: oversupply the market AND sustain high prices.
    98
  178. No, the wife was being extremely polite to the point where she wasn’t mentioning the reason. The husband wanted to make it very clear.
    98
  179. The most pro-worker admin in my lifetime. Some businesses are going to be very very angry.
    97
  180. These are just regular laborers. Pretty silly for Brazil to give them work visas.
    96
  181. The one thing that is never mentioned is "greed" of Chinese consumers. They were searching for 50-100bps extra yield and got screwed. If someone is offering extra yield, it's usually shady and risky. I was always amused in the past when the Japanese would bank with the postal system (now mostly privatized) with hyper low yields. Then did it because they are a conservative society and value safety over yield.
    96
  182. Japanese are real fans. They looked at his playing history for the past 6 months and realized that Messi had been struggling with soft tissue injuries. Dude literally had to leave the match against Brazil a few months earlier.
    96
  183. The title is weird. The baby box is dealing with <0.01% of the births in Korea. Low fertility rate is all about economics. Unwanted pregnancies is a totally different issue.
    95
  184. This makes no sense. In the US, you have to pay the custodian for storage. You don't want to make interest on your gold. You want safe keeping. Obviously, the company was using the gold as collateral and taking out loans. That's why they are paying yield. Chinese people have no common sense.
    94
  185. Meanwhile in Korea, they freak out when their daily cases get above 100. They have a population of 50 million people.
    94
  186. Totally underselling the pain that is spread out due to the “debt” structure of developers. Generally speaking, 1/3 of debt is bonds, 1/3 is pre-payments and 1/3 is debt to suppliers. Sure banks are “protected”, but everyone else is totally f’d. Also, the magnitude of debt. Just Evergrande and Country Garden have debt of close to 3% of GDP. When Lehman folded, their debt was about 0.5% of GDP.
    94
  187. 0:20 dude tackled a female. Pretty lame.
    93
  188. It’s not clear, but I don’t think he’s banned from Korea. Korea is rejecting his F4 visa application.
    93
  189. I like how he’s casually skipping over that she’s VP and her literal Constitutional role is take over as POTUS if necessary. She was on the ticket!
    92
  190. Europe needs to step up its game. Seems like it's one way warfare and EU is asleep at the wheel.
    92
  191. Lots of these condos are going to need to be retrofitted with expensive fire gear. The current sprinkler system setup ain't going to cut it.
    92
  192. No one has taken accountability. Pretty standard Korean apology.
    91
  193. Pooh Bear should have taken a few economics classes. Strong healthy economies run off discretionary purchases. Getting people to buy unnecessary goods and services creates jobs.
    90
  194. Come on Mike. We all know why Trump is like that. He’s Putin’s puppet.
    90
  195. Always was a bit odd. If Iran can produce cheap drones, surely it had to cross Russia's mind that Ukraine can do the same. They aren't complex or expensive.
    89
  196. Korea neglected the adoptee community for decades, but recently (5-10yrs) have really stepped up in trying to make amends. Adoptees can become dual citizens now if they so choose.
    89
  197. Before it was fully completed, my relatives took me to a new small city designated as a smart city: Songdo International Business District in Incheon, Korea. Was like whatever, just a bunch of new buildings. The most impressive part is stuff that you can't see behind the scenes. The biggest complaint is it's cold and not very vibrant.
    89
  198. Things were going fine in Lebanon until the PLO started making trouble. Then, Iran invaded Lebanon with these goons.
    89
  199. That guy is living his dream. Kudos to him.
    87
  200. I apologize to our allies for electing this clear and present danger to your national security.
    86
  201. Look under your seats right wing Justices. You get a billionaire sugar daddy. Everyone gets a billionaire sugar daddy.
    86
  202. lol, no wonder why Pooh Bear is always accusing the US of starting / supporting protests in HK. Total projection and they assume the US is using the same tactics.
    86
  203. They never touched on the benefits of soft power. It help builds bridges with other countries to build political and economic ties.
    86
  204. Amusingly, Baron got saved by having little contact with his parents.
    86
  205. That’s not America. That’s ‘murica.
    85
  206. Naw, people used to get in fist fights in the past. Now, everyone is carrying deadly weapons.
    85
  207.  @tidi4898  I'm talking about cultural differences of 2 countries: US vs Korea. Are you from either? I'm from both. Born in Korea and raised in the states. Why do people feel like they are experts in other countries? It's very odd. Let me get this clear: we aren't raised to respect authority in the US. We are bombarded with challenging the norms and doing stupid stuff. These are the things we did in before 9th grade: cut school, roamed mountains without parents, vandalism for fun, smoked cigs, drank alcohol, tried weed, egged houses, threw snowballs at cars, sneak out at night when staying over a friends house (and this is the stuff I remember). And we grew up in the suburbs of an East coast city and were in the top 20% of our class grade wise. In Korea, no one does this kind of stuff unless you are a troubled kid. Its just not part of their norms to challenge authority blatantly. ( Oh yeah, I've actually taken a ferry from Incheon port.)
    85
  208. 7:35 This is why I never understood people getting excited about the speed of Chinese construction. Even a novice like me knows that you need time for materials to settle / cure for strength.
    84
  209. It's really frustrating. We (the US) spent $3 trillion and counting on Iraq / Afghanistan and we can't even muster up 5% of that spending to cripple our near peer adversary for decades. And, like Cameron said. With no boots on ground.
    83
  210. I just puked.
    83
  211. The plots of dramas with chaebols seems invented, but many of them are compilations of real life experiences.
    82
  212. Note: Osk Kosh is based out of WI and the US Rep is from WI. Nothing wrong for stumping for your constituents, but there is a vested interest.
    82
  213. Can you imagine the Dems begging the GOP for Speaker votes for Pelosi? Yeah, sounds just as ridiculous.
    82
  214. Remember when Pelosi got voted out by her Party twice as Speaker? Oops. Yeah, that never happened.
    82
  215. Maybe I'm watching the wrong videos, but seen a few ground reports from Gaza. No one has denounced Hamas and their actions.
    80
  216. They should just go all in and campaign on cutting social security and medicare.
    80
  217. Even if Joe wins POTUS, we still have work to to be done. The fight isn’t over. No gloating or dunking by me.
    80
  218. Not a fan of the loan words: they have 2 versions for the word, "grape" (English version and Korean version). Not sure why.
    79
  219. Japan is the only place I would trust in Asia. Even stuff in Korea can get sketchy, but much better than a decade+ ago.
    79
  220. Whew, I wonder what happened when her strict dad found out about her racy movies?
    78
  221. Someone should make a sizable charitable donation in Hillary's name in exchange for her sitting in the audience of the courtroom.
    78
  222. I know it was a while ago, but Obama eating in a small restaurant in Vietnam was important. Common people want their leaders to be regular people, accessible and understand their lives. I doubt the average Vietnamese wants the Xi model.
    77
  223. 1:33 lol, this is the master race? Looks like Meal Team Six.
    77
  224. This made me admire the Japanese ranchers even more. Obsessed with a quality product.
    77
  225.  @horsluva0758  well, guess who we know who the next 48 hours will be about.
    77
  226. DC has strict gun laws: Being in possession of a pistol, a handheld weapon that can be fired with one hand, is considered a felony in some situations even if the person has a valid concealed carry or open carry permit in another state.
    76
  227. It's an odd comparison. LVMH has way more brands.
    76
  228. In the US, expiration dates mean nothing. You can eat stuff way past. In CCP China, I'd be worried, lol.
    76
  229. Sometimes it’s ambiguous, but she’s not going to jail. A suspended sentence is like probation. If she doesn’t get in trouble for the next 3 years, she won’t serve any time.
    75
  230. Stock market is a side show. Bond market is the bigger issue. CCP is in a pickle. They have to keep rates low to stimulate the economy, but who wants crappy CCP bonds when they are yielding at least 100bps less than US. So that only leaves domestic buyers for their bonds. Home sales are a disaster and now they are starting price deflation. Here is some random data: - China's govt bond yield falls, treasury futures jump on hopes of more monetary easing. China's 10-year govt #bond yield fell to 2.68%, a new low since Nov 11, 2022. - Second-hand #home transactions in China's capital #Beijing slid 37.3% m/m in May, down 41.8% from March - Prices in #China’s oil, coal, metal industries declined at faster pace in May - NBS
    74
  231. It's pretty easy if you like raw vegetables (and fruit). The biggest thing you'll notice is your poops. They come out cleaner and makes you very regular. I barely sit down on the toilet for more than a few minutes.
    73
  232. If he can get the Maybach, he certainly is getting Lipitor imported for use. Dude has to be close to 125 kg.
    72
  233. Pooh Bear has been MIA for weeks.
    71
  234. Netflix is bigger than any Chinese internet company except Tencent. Why? It’s a worldwide company. Now, Chinese developers have to create and maintain 3 different OS for a truncated market.
    71
  235. Korea is a much more urbanized and educated society since the '70s and even '80s. Urbanization was only 40% in 1970 climbed to 65% by 1985 and now sits over 80%. Way less people going to school after high school. Likely less than 30% in the '80s and now it's over 70%. Plus, there was an well trained apparatus and for lack of a better word "conscience" by the secret police / military to hurt their fellow citizens under than command of the government. The Korean apparatus now is setup to allow protests and make sure police and citizens don't get hurt. It was an "odd" political move by Yoon.
    71
  236. lol, the age differences aren’t that drastic: Hani / Yuna 24, Hyeri 22, Sejeong 20, Somi was the outlier at 15.
    70
  237. No one has been more pro-worker than Sherrod Brown. Against NAFTA. Against China WTO. Hope Ohio workers can see through the politics and vote in their best interest.
    70
  238. Rule 1: you can’t complain about your ex’s to your new BF.
    70
  239. No one can top the stupidity of our American politics, but sure seems like the UK is trying.
    70
  240. Next step: HK dollar stops getting pegged to the dollar and gets pegged to the yuan Next step^2: HK dollar gets renamed to the HK yuan
    70
  241. Chain smoking Being fat Not exercising Just take 1 of the 3 and that's not good for your health. Combine the three and your odds are bad. Just made a comment a few weeks ago that this dude won't make it to his 60th birthday.
    70
  242. Well, we know why Hayoung isn’t a “skinny” idol. Seems like her grandmother is feeding her.
    70
  243. The number was raised to 150+ times. No harm in googling a bit and you’ll get more info. The girl is / was crazy (literally). She didn’t have any assistance.
    69
  244. lol, I just looked up Kari Lake's bio. GOP: pre-2006 Independent: 2006-08 Democrat: 2008-2012 GOP: 2012 to present No political experience. She was weather anchor (not a meteorologist) and then a news anchor. I've never seen a person change their party affiliation 3 times in 6 years.
    69
  245. Wow, this is crazy. My dad taught 30 years in a public middle school. Every evening, he would create lesson plans and grade papers. No way would he have time to babysit these wacko parents.
    69
  246. Wendy with a weird mix of Korean / Western expressions.
    68
  247. 20 minutes...that’s a long time to be scared shitless.
    67
  248. I have a lot of female friends because of the industry I fell into after college. They would disown me as a friend if I said something like that.
    67
  249. Leave the Private there and don't waste our diplomatic resources.
    66
  250. So, Russia might lose their port base on the Mediterranean?
    66
  251. The video game thing is just noise. The bigger issue is that it reinforces the herky-jerky nature of the CCP. They are making it uninvestable for foreign businesses because "rules" are becoming more unpredictable.
    66
  252. Every highly developed nation goes through this with the exception of the US. And, the US used to support immigration which helped lessen the birth rate drop.
    66
  253. Still don't understand why the US never developed these countries as industrial bases instead of China.
    66
  254. I’m hoping the abortion referendum in FL gives the Dem candidate a hidden boost.
    64
  255. Pooh Bear found 1 trillion+ USD to invest outside of China. I'm sure money bags Pooh Bear can find another 1 trillion USD to invest into China.
    64
  256. Probably would be a good time for breakaway regions in Central Russia to make a move.
    64
  257. State Police or FBI should have taken the lead from the beginning. These local cops can’t handle a case like this.
    64
  258. Orwell's Animal Farm seems very appropriate: " All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others"
    64
  259.  @stefanoraffo5096  2/3 of the imports are from Canada and Mexico. Saudi is around 7%. Iraq and Columbia around 4%. The rest is scattered small amounts.
    63
  260. Hard pass on him. Between Newt and Rove, they began this insidious poison in politics.
    63
  261. side note: remember how Elon said he was going to fix the "bot" problem on Twitter? It's infinitely worse. Everyone is touting AI and AI can't even fix a simple bot problem.
    63
  262. $50B in US spending is worth the practical military lessons being learned. And, developing plans to counter it. Again, with no US troops on the ground.
    62
  263. Saw a video from Japan's NHK about an Indonesia worker. Guy and his wife had good jobs "relatively". Guy had been working for 20+ years in a factory and saved up enough to buy a house. Then, the factory shutdown and was likely due to the inflow of cheap Chinese products. Now, the dude is making 1/5 of his prior salary. Had to move out and rent out the house to coverage the mortgage.
    62
  264. Vance is not human. No empathy.
    62
  265. What a courageous woman (in the ad). Takes a lot of guts to throw yourself out in public and talk about something that private for the good of others.
    62
  266. lol, 3000 Euros for that garbage. Did they legalize weed in China?
    61
  267. The last place you want to be is in a small enclosed space for an extended period.
    61
  268. Yikes! Hasenfus continued living in Wisconsin afterwards. In the 2000s he was repeatedly arrested for indecent exposure. After violating the terms of his probation by exposing himself in a Wal-Mart parking lot in Marinette in 2005, he was imprisoned for several months at the Green Bay Correctional Institution. He was released on the 19th anniversary of his release by Nicaragua.
    61
  269. They are menaces. No one deserves to die in an accident, but they put themselves at risk.
    60
  270. Some of the documents for 5 eyes only. Not only risked our national security, but our closest allies.
    60
  271. We (the US) have 4000 Bradleys. We given UA <200. It should be double that minimally. I'm not sure what land battle we are saving our inventory for. Edit: It's even worse if this data is right. Geez, just get the storage ones up and running. The Bradley Fighting Vehicle family has two primary variants, the M2 Infantry Fighting Vehicle and the M3 Cavalry Fighting Vehicle, which differ mainly in their internal configuration to support the mechanized infantry and cavalry scout roles, respectively. A number of other more specialized variants have entered service over the years, such a the M7 Bradley Fire Support Team vehicle, or BFIST, which is configured to provide an armored platform to support forward observers. At present, the Army has around 4,500 M2 and M3 Bradleys spread among its units, including those in the Army National Guard, as well as another approximately 2,000 in storage, according to The International Institute for Strategic Studies' The Military Balance.
    60
  272. NSA / CIA hard at work. They only get attention when things go wrong.
    59
  273.  @TAS_CNX  Those are upper class Chinese. It means they have external funding sources and can live abroad. The middle class in China can't do that.
    59
  274. lol, they stole land from farmers for real estate development and now they are reversing it.
    59
  275. Just read a quick summary. Dude had nothing to lose. Her family was bankrolling his real estate projects. He wasn’t very good at real estate though. And, when the father in law died, they cut him off financially and she filed for divorce. All of his projects were underwater and he was bleeding cash for lawyers in the divorce.
    59
  276. If you slow-mo it, it's not the drivers fault. Explosion happened before the truck hit the wall. It looks like either (1) explosion first or (2) someone accidently PIT'd the truck and cause the explosion. Or I'm completely wrong and it's a vehicle behind the truck on the video exploded.
    59
  277. 14:22 this is what the CCP doesn't get. They always try to make one sided deals. A mutual beneficial relationship is deemed as a loss for them. People think China plays the long game, but it's really Japan. Their investments in SE Asia are never as loud as China, but measured and thoughtful.
    59
  278. Took an incredible journey with 2 dogs.
    59
  279. If men were the ones getting pregnant, this would not be an issue.
    58
  280. They saw combat in South Sudan as UN peacekeepers. Was a total sh**show.
    58
  281.  @krisniemczuk3452  Dude went to Yale law school at age 16. He's a bit more than entertainment.
    58
  282. Man, these people better hope the documents weren’t spy or weapons program related. Going to look very very bad for them if that’s the case.
    58
  283. The amusing part is there is another trial in CT.
    58
  284. She aged 10+ years since the mugshot. Jail ain’t fun.
    58
  285. That would be me if I fought Mike Tyson.
    57
  286. The GOP no idea party. They like to criticize, but don't have any ideas how to make it better. Nuke Iran? Ground War fight? Secret CIA overthrow of the government? Hmm, maybe if Iran had a strong neighbor that keeps them busy, we would have more leverage. Oh yeah, we invaded Iraq and sent them into a clusterfuck.
    56
  287. Yeap, it’s crazy.
    56
  288. We've got a serious math problem in our society if people think 5,000 adoptions per year have any impact on a 1.4 billion population. Edit: literally had to pull up Excel to do the calculation since the calculator didn't like the small number. That's 0.056% of the total births (rounding would make it 0.1%).
    56
  289. Surprised the home wasn’t equipped with some type of panic button. Even the small retail jobs I worked had them.
    55
  290. Totally comical. White dude with 2 young white girls is going to give a ride to a random black dude in the South in the 1970s. HAHHAAAAHAAHAAA.
    55
  291. Some things are more important than a quick gain. 7-11 is a great Japanese success story. Hope it stays in the hands of Japanese management.
    55
  292. Holy shit, this is peak Bill Clinton. The guy somehow can connect across all lines (race, class, etc) with the same message.
    54
  293. There was one in NYC that survived a 20+ story fall. If the cat isn't scared and can relax, their body can act as a parachute. (Like a flying squirrel)
    54
  294. Seems pretty obvious that our checks and balances should include oversight of POTUS finances during his term.
    54
  295. You give him way too much credit.
    54
  296. The houses were there before the bridge.
    53
  297. I’ve never heard of the opposing party complaining / suggesting they should have picked a different VP.
    53
  298. Just a reminder: there is no such thing as personal bankruptcy / protections in China.
    53
  299. Yeah, that's a pretty big surprise. Times have changed a bit since the Samsung daughter in NYC.
    53
  300. Way way too early.
    53
  301. Haha, 70% of household wealth is housing real estate. Ain’t just about investors.
    53
  302. They never should have been let into the WTO.
    52
  303. USA! USA! USA!
    52
  304. Nixon wouldn't of stepped down if we had today's GOP. Pretty sad what's happened to that party.
    52
  305. India is participating because it's easier to control the game from the inside than the outside.
    52
  306. All the new cars have customized electronics and software. People are silly for buying cars from random companies. Basically, the very expensive version of a phone brick.
    51
  307. Wait, they didn't launch fighter jets to intercept? Or, launch their own drones?
    51
  308.  @dansands8140  Japan had a lot of bullets in the clip to defend itself via monetary / fiscal policy. Also, Japan had establish into a developed economy with a high standard of living for nearly all of their citizens. CCP China wishes they had the same setup.
    51
  309. God Bless those Secret Service agents in PPE in a SUV that is sealed to prevent any aerosol in or out of the car.
    51
  310. The campaign size contrast is embarrassing for Vance.
    51
  311.  @miri283  Correct. The US has a bunch of dumbass people, but when it comes to experiences, people in the US are way less sheltered than people in Korea. There is much more person to person interaction in non-school settings. Sports, clubs, part-time jobs etc. In Korea, you just study. More experiences help you "critically" think in unfamiliar situations. Social media has somewhat destroyed this in the past 5+ years though.
    51
  312. Pooh Bear is getting a lesson in Econ 101. Unfortunately, China got the guy who was living in the rural area until 23 and still doesn't understand the multiplier effect. Multiplier effect ain't a one way street. It works both ways.
    51
  313. Hillary just chilling with a cup of coffee and popcorn early in the morning.
    50
  314. I feel bad for the ones that got adopted into bad households. Really was the wild west back then. The vast majority of kids weren't abused and generally were brought up in good households. Usually, the outliers with bad experiences are the most outspoken. If you are an Korean adoptee and need in-country resources in Korea, G.O.A.'L is the best place to start.
    50
  315. The most valuable real estate property would be a Japanese engineering / construction firm entering the market with imported Japanese materials and using all Japanese contractors. The Chinese would flock to those type of properties.
    50
  316. Yes, we are witnessing the decline of the US. It's been a great run.
    50
  317. It was a lie. The executive order actually said they would “look at” extending the eviction halt.
    50
  318. She's got energy. And the vigor to campaign non-stop. And, her day job has no official responsibility granted by the Constitution other than breaking a tie and "replacing" POTUS if necessary.
    50
  319. I'm not a fan of Kyle Bass, but his thinking is exactly like mine. If you have 25% of the economy (real estate) down -20% for 2 years back-to-back, it's game over. It's nearly impossible to combat that type of decline regardless of any exports increase. Then, add in weak consumer spending. Add in poor consumer confidence. Add in a massive loss of wealth since 70% of everyone's wealth was tied to real estate. Once I saw new home sales a huge negative comp in 2023 which was on top of a huge negative comp, it confirmed things were going to get bad. I was baffled by old man Charlie Munger and a few prominent hedge fund dudes being lapdogs to Pooh Bear and still talking up China.
    49
  320. Man, sure seems like some areas haven't advanced. People are still praying to the rain gods.
    49
  321. lol, the lawyer said, “non-zero” amount of poll watchers when the Judge asked if there were poll observers. The Judge got pissed and basically threatened the lawyer to answer with a straight answer.
    49
  322. Just imagine if the government would have implemented a true "English" curriculum for all students. Seoul / Busan could have stolen business away from HK instead of companies moving just to Singapore.
    49
  323. Top tier job. Every Korean's goal to work for the biggest chaebol.
    49
  324. Duncan is a decent person. Old school GOP guy when the parties would work together and negotiate fairly and for the good of the country. Hats off to him to admit that the bill had errors and potentially catastrophic ones.
    49
  325. Will be shocked if he gets bail. Judge would have to be nuts.
    48
  326. Stupid headline. He didn’t survive. The recall was a resounding failure. He’s winning by 25+ points.
    48
  327. Let's test it. Tucker can be the subject of the experiment.
    48
  328. What a total crime... Eating at a Taco Bell in Spain, lol.
    48
  329. Religion of peace, lol.
    48
  330. I guarantee their treatment is better than the POWs being held by Russia.
    48
  331. Obviously bad and don't want to minimize the current loss of life. It's a good thing that Australia put stricter gun control laws years ago. You saw citizens being able to fight back somewhat and minimize the potential loss of life. Can't do that against guns.
    48
  332. They have the extended interviews in long form. Well worth the time.
    48
  333. Japan's modern industrialization has been for 70+ years. Korea's has been for 50+ years. China's has been for 30-40 years. Shoved too much growth into a small time period and didn't allow for things to happen naturally. Lots of unintended consequences.
    48
  334. If the average Chinese person could go to Japan and see how clean, orderly and safe everything is in Japanese society, they would want to move there immediately and switch nationalities.
    48
  335. Ok, people of Islamic faith. Are you going to be ok when a Korean drama starts portraying your religion in a negative cult like fashion? Because that is legal and that's what happens to Christianity in Korea. There have been several TV shows that use this cult-Christianity as a theme.
    47
  336. Get real dude. You’ve got some real bias and issues. He’s only been President for 1 term. The issues you are talking about aren’t issues that popped up just 4 years ago.
    47
  337. It's always projection from the Chinese. The use these bag of tricks all the time, so they assume everyone else does. Dude has been injured 3 times within 2 months in 2023. Lionel Messi ended his final match of the calendar year with a groin injury that forced him to be substituted in Argentina's 1-0 win over Brazil on Tuesday at the Maracana in Rio de Janeiro. Hundreds of thousands of MLS ticket buyers missed out this year due to Messi sitting out games.
    47
  338. Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.
    47
  339. It’s nearly impossible to remember everything unless you are a trained killer.
    47
  340. Obviously, the victim and family members suffer the greatest loss, but his wife and kids lives are ruined. I’m sure they will be hounded since his identity is public now. Korea needs to find a way to back off from that nonsense. Ain’t their fault.
    47
  341. Said this a month or so ago: worst possible scenario would be inflation for necessities and deflation for discretionary items.
    46
  342. Supply chains are tough to mobilize fast. Realistically, they wanted slow production in the past to give the contractors steady work and be able to retain your labor force. Can't have them idle, but at the same time can't have them work too fast.
    46
  343. Contempt is used as a deterrence because people don’t want to go to jail or pay a fine. This dude will be in jail regardless.
    46
  344. O_O Working conditions in Brazil have more standards and regulation than China?
    46
  345. Good to see Yuri back in the public eye. Unfair for Yuri to be sidelined for her brother’s actions.
    46
  346. Feels like the "work" dogs are always good when get responsibility. Very instinctual for them to being responsible and busy.
    46
  347. Hope some of the Central Park Five show up for his sentencing.
    46
  348. This is the equivalent of banning cars and making everyone walk.
    45
  349. umm, it's called the landing gear. The landing gear wasn't down.
    45
  350. There is a Korean dude who was named the crown prince a few years back. Born in the States and founder of PIA VPN.
    45
  351. Gutter oil = pride of CCP China Sushi = hurts my feelings
    45
  352. More partial to Zach Lowe's style. He's got a ton of inside connections, but never really talks about rumors. Watches a lot of basketball games and does solid analysis.
    45
  353. Dunno, doesn't putting a data center in that zone make it under the jurisdiction of Malaysian laws and courts?
    45
  354. Really easy to get away with murder back in the day. No cameras. Basically, you had to be really unlucky (eyewitness) to get caught.
    45
  355. Pooh Bear is finding out that the multiplier effect works equally well in the reverse direction. Works just the same negatively. (I'd argue it's an even worse flow through.)
    45
  356. Fun Fact: the US Census department is the sub-department under Commerce that publishes import-export data with China. They publish it monthly with 1-2 month lag. I tried to find the EU equivalent website, but couldn't find it easily. Here are the US imports numbers from China. Really have to look at a multi-year numbers as a base for comparisons. Pandemic screwed things up. Short version: 1- US imports from China are back to 2013-2014 levels (nominal comparison) 2- US imports started to drop in Oct '22, but Nov '22 was the big decline. Will be key to watch the Nov '23 monthly number. (US Imports from China USD Jan-May time period) 2023 168,631 2022 222,839 2021 188,475 2020 142,208 2019 178,932 2018 205,006 2017 187,481 2016 173,440 2015 186,494 2014 175,137 2013 166,980 2012 161,908 2011 148,590
    44
  357. Settle down dude. Cardin has been in politics since '67. Blumenauer since '73. Napolitano since '92 (She's 87!), Eshoo since '93. Kilmer is the spring chicken at 50 and he's been in politics since '05.
    44
  358. This is why the CCP won't let the big real estate developers go into bankruptcy. Assets have 2 lien holders and the banks will always get senior status. Average people will be left holding the bag.
    44
  359. WSJ isn’t reporting this without multiple sources or a direct source.
    44
  360. Somehow I feel dumber after watching this video.
    44
  361. Yeap, said it in the past. If the average Chinese person knew about the quality of life in Japanese society, they would beg to become Japanese citizens.
    44
  362.  @johnnykrauze  Yeah, not true. Look at the Philippines. Every country controls their destiny even with US aid.
    44
  363. It should be split between 2 days. No one should be subjected to a 9 hour test and expect their maximum performance.
    44
  364. Pretty crazy that Iran was pretty liberal back in the 70s.
    44
  365. No barrier to entry. No differentiation in the market. And, the problem with China is something is successful, it gets copied and oversaturated. Me, I'm loyal to a few places and ones that are locally owned.
    44
  366. All these loser ex's. I had dated someone and we were about to move into together and she broke up with me. Was a little depressed for a week, but never once thought about getting a gun.
    43
  367. Their phone bills must have been crazy. You could buy long distance phone cards back then, but it was still very expensive.
    43
  368. Psst, I guarantee the banks haven't updated all the mortgages that are underwater with negative equity.
    43
  369. If Pooh Bear would have taken a basic economics class, he would have learned about the multiplier effect.
    43
  370. People have no idea how bad this will get. We will lose all our rights to corporations to this right wing court.
    43
  371. I just don’t buy it. Soviets were in Afghanistan for 10 years. On and off in Chechnya for 5+ years. Putin is going to stretch this out for as long as possible.
    43
  372. lol, I grew up in the US. We had and still have discrimination even though we are a melting pot. Korea is one of the most homogeneous societies on planet Earth.
    43
  373. 1- never heard about this 2- I have no idea which side is "right" 3- both seem to have valid arguments. Corrupt people shouldn't be able to flee to escape jail and embassies are sovereign territories
    42
  374. Everyone listening to Fox News is already voting for Trump.
    42
  375. At some point, someone is going to take him out and steal his hidden wealth.
    42
  376. lol, the dude was in their small circle.
    42
  377.  @crazypato3752  In the US, people work for the US government in civilian jobs because they are stable and have good benefits. Now, imagine being stable, good benefits and the best pay. This is Samsung. Much harder to open a small business in Korea than the States. It's a really small market / country.
    42
  378. She's really talented. Speaks 3 languages, majored in piano in the states and obviously, a good actress.
    42
  379. It's because they need minions to do their dirty work. System gets wacked out when there isn't cheap labor.
    41
  380. The anonymous LLC laws need to stripped. You can get the financial protection of the LLC, but hiding the identity needs to go away.
    41
  381. Congrats Chairman Xi! Pooh Bear has almost reached Mao status. Unfortunately for him, it’s harder to hide the sh**show in modern times.
    41
  382. Wow, they did use the Ginsu missile.
    41
  383. Grew up in MD years ago. We only had 10 Asian people in our suburb. No Latino people. About 10-15% black. No one in school ever made fun of me. This one kid physically attacked me once in class and my friend jumped in. I think that was more because he was from a "kids home" rather than racial though. It was more common outside of school. Random people saying stuff. My friends always stuck up for me. By the time we got to high school, we did have a relatively large ESL program. We must have been a magnet school for ESL because I don't remember all the students living in the suburb. (We did have real segregation. No one ever spoke about it though. I didn't even realize it until I moved away and asked my Dad out of curiosity one day why all the black people lived in one area of the suburb.)
    41
  384. One of the greatest executions of soft power translating into practical benefits. The combination of immigrants with food and more recently music and television has laid the groundwork for positive acceptance by the US. Unlike Japan in the '80s, it's been an easier path for Korean products.
    41
  385. I think this is the first time I've seen a doc follow up.
    41
  386. What the heck? Don't put the 2011 pictures into the thumbnail. I was like holy heck. I heard about the earthquake, but didn't hear much about damage.
    41
  387. umm, am I the only one that thinks she looks way different than in 2012ish?
    40
  388. I have no problem w/ the Mom and Cheong-ah having a relationship even with the prior misinformation about his suicide. Seems only natural they would be connected still.
    40
  389.  @kianaone2610  It's not hard for Koreans to adopt in Korea. But, Koreans place a high value on "bloodlines". There can be some issues on parental rights. Some parents use orphanages as foster homes. They can't afford to raise them, so they put them in an orphanage, but still have contact with them. The kids can't be adopted if the parents haven't released parental rights.
    40
  390. This is just weird. Being biracial is not that complicated to understand.
    39
  391. When does Pooh Bear have a “heart attack by the pool”?
    39
  392. The last few months, I was really curious about this segment. Going out to the movies is one tier above going out to restaurants from a discretionary perspective. People have to eat even if it's more expensive food. No one has to go to a movie to live.
    39
  393. She was one the biggest comedy sitcoms ever that had a ton of dry humor. OF COURSE THERE WILL BE JOKES. Stupid critics.
    39
  394. I'd imagine UA is going to run out of shells for their Russian made tanks. Seems inevitable they'll need tanks at some point. Quick random search shows that UK and France have under 500 tanks. Germany has around 2,500. Seems like Germany should be donating. No one is going to invade Germany. (US can do random backfilling if there are any other NATO countries that still have Russian tanks and replace them with Abrams.)
    39
  395. Ok, let's use our brains a bit... - Real estate collapsing. Bond valuations have gone to zero for many companies - Stock market flat - Government bonds have increased in value due to interest rates dropping Now, these trusts are "promising" returns 2x the government yield. They have to be in risky assets. It's just basic math they were in real estate or real estate bonds.
    39
  396. Most countries this would be an issue for labor, but Korea's birthrate is so low, it will solve the possible worker crisis in the future.
    39
  397. This is why Korea and other Asian countries weren't so anti-mask like the US and some western countries.
    39
  398. Literally, Kyiv is doing the opposite of US suggestions. They refused to retreat from Bakhmut when US military planners said its a waste of resources.
    39
  399. Actually, the dude had 3 kids though. Looks like he signed up at 18 for the service. Then, proceeded to have 3 kids starting at the age of 21. Was medically retired from the service and I'm guessing split from his wife / baby momma.
    38
  400. Someone passed intel. And, is 7 million USD richer. Dude had a bounty on his head.
    38
  401. And the coffee in Italy makes our coffee taste like dirt. I stopped drinking coffee after traveling to Italy. Espresso at the airport in Italy is better than any coffee I’ve had in the states.
    38
  402. Yikes! In the novel 2034, written by Eliiot Ackerman and Admiral James G. Stavridis, Chung-Hoon is one of two US ships sunk in a naval battle that sparks World War III.
    38
  403. Basically, turn off your phone before you get arrested.
    38
  404.  @e.r.4447  None of the files given to adoptive parents have specific information about birth parents. It's more general. My paperwork was rigged likely make the adoption cleaner.
    38
  405. When your teenage crush is getting old, you know you are getting old as well.
    38
  406. Imagine if the White House was surrounded by thousands of people and they broke through the fence. Secret Service would have gunned them down on the White House lawn.
    38
  407. Man, The Obama admin used to run 1 hour plus press briefings.
    38
  408. Use your common sense smarty pants. I spent literally 1 second and found a clip of their high school fight song. And, yes. It's Mankato West High School fight song.
    38
  409. 0:41 The dude was still moving his legs a little bit when they medics got there.
    37
  410. lol, all these new foreign buyers look at the fair as a paid vacation. No real interest. Western buyers don't waste their time with trips if they don't want to buy. Travel is seen as a hassle.
    37
  411. Just luck of the draw sometimes. Was broadsided hard when we were teens. My friend was driving and got on an off ramp due to construction and didn’t realize there was a traffic light. We ran a red light. Back then, we didn’t wear seat belts in the back seat and my body flew back and my head broke the hatchback glass. When the car stopped, I ended up in the trunk. Could have been way worse.
    37
  412. That's a really old bill too. Even the 2009 series has the blue vertical security stripe on it.
    37
  413.  @danwelterweight4137  lol, a hypersonic missile is just a missile. It does not have the power of a nuke. What is wrong with this guy? Ignore everything he says.
    37
  414. Wait, so the same people that are aggressively militaristic are...against serving in the military? Hmm...
    37
  415.  @samuelsong342  Getting annexed for 3+ decades makes people a bit grumpy.
    37
  416. You need to separate out long term issues and short term issues. Short term employment issues are due to mismatch of labor, less export / manufacturing jobs due to supply chains shifting and way less FDI / foreign companies leaving. The falling population is a future thing ie less tax base, less consumption, etc when the older people die off.
    37
  417. Age, beauty and marriage are typical Korean topics.
    37
  418. As a Korean that grew up in the states, I always thought the dramas are hyperbolic with their subject matter. lol, the corruption and chaebol themes are like the Law and Order TV show, It’s just news from the headlines.
    37
  419. The dude isn’t talking about the opposition party. HE’S TALKING ABOUT HIS OWN PARTY. In the old days, they would kick these losers to the curb and work with the opposite party to get things done.
    37
  420. People have no clue how bad crime used to be. That’s 4x as many murders back then vs today.
    37
  421. lol, when did this dude become a political expert?
    37
  422. As a normal American if someone calls you Canadian, it means you are nice person. Hate to break it to these people, but the insult works the other way. If a Canadian is called an American then...there are issues.
    37
  423. Having another ally with a robust defense industrial base is a positive. Additionally, Korea’s license agreement spreads out the base even wider.
    36
  424. Trump fixing anything abortion related is like a person robbing the store and then asking them to clean up some broken glass from the robbery.
    36
  425. Unless you are a political junkie, you shouldn't know all the House members. Generally, you should know "some" of the Senate. I only know Ben Cardin because I grew up in Baltimore. I know of John Sarbanes because of his Dad (was a Senator). Ken Buck has in the media recently. The other names just by "passing". Blumenauer, Cardenas, Carper, Kildee, Napolitano.
    36
  426. It's starting to look like Japan's lost decade.
    36
  427. The term isn’t complicated. It’s called “house poor”.
    36
  428. The Afghanistan quagmire cost $2.3 trillion and counting. And, they hated us and didn't want us there. The least we can do is to support a fledging democracy that has been invaded by a thug. I hope Ukraine can rebound like Korea after the war in the 1950s. It took many decades, but Korea ended up in a good place.
    36
  429. The people that stood up early against Trump will be looked at kindly in history.
    36
  430. lol, Iran is acting like Israel launched 200 missiles first.
    36
  431. Do these Little Pinks realize that Messi turned down $1.5B / 3 year contract to play in Saudi Arabia because his wife wanted to live in Miami rather than The Kingdom?
    36
  432. If I was teenager playing Sim City like Pooh Bear, I'd institute a 20% internet shopping tax. Try to even the playing field for brick and mortar.
    36
  433. You serious? A touched up school picture by a professional is going to look different than a mugshot in jail.
    36
  434. The even weirder part of CPI vs PPI is...housing. In the US, 30% of CPI is housing. PPI doesn't have a housing component. Obviously, housing is falling dramatically in CCP China right now. It would be really really hard for CPI to be higher with housing costs falling. note: China's CPI is a black box. Have no idea what % they assign for housing in CPI.
    36
  435. Think Seth is the perfect type of host for this crowd. He's a genuinely nice guy, so his jokes are funny, but in a tame way. I'd give anything to see Jeff Ross do this though.
    35
  436. Look, the birth thing is really bad. And, obviously it's impacting enrollment. But, I looked up the first 2 schools. The first one is way in the East of Korea near no major city. It's really isolated. The second school I was curious about since I lived in Daegu in the past, but that's not really Daegu! It's east of Gumi which I wouldn't consider Daegu. It's kinda by itself.
    35
  437. Imagine how jealous Trump is of Jeff Bezos. Must drive him crazy.
    35
  438. SPAC = Special purpose acquisition company It's not an IPO. It's a merger. The SPAC merges with a private company. Essentially, it's a backdoor IPO.
    35
  439. F-16 is obviously the right choice. It's has the largest inventory and knowledge base in NATO. Would be able to leverage Poland and Romania for interim maintenance.
    35
  440. Just happened in Korea. 2 way tunnel is ok. You just take the opposite lane out. 1 way tunnel, you should be extremely worried. You are basically stuck.
    35
  441. Florida is such a weird state. For a state that relies on the environment for its economy, citizens and politicians don't seem to care about the environment much.
    35
  442. This is what happens when people aren't regular drivers. I'm not jumping out of a car that fast. Plus, seems like the kid was a bit sheltered. Eventually, the car will need to slow down and / or stop. (minus points for the boyfriend for giving bad or no advice as well.)
    35
  443. Pooh Bear and the internal security department don’t view these people as a threat. They’ve always been dirt poor and somehow gotten by.
    35
  444. This is why government / central banks freak out a bit when recessions happen. It's very hard to reverse the domino effect. Have to react fast and aggressive or things get out of hand.
    35
  445. 1:38 Employees have to be checked when they leave? Heck no. I'm going to take equipment / furniture that is equivalent to 2 months salary. Chinese people are weird. People in the States will be barging the doors down if our direct deposit is even 1 day late. People got bills to pay.
    35
  446. When I graduated college, I rented a room with a family for 2 years. Also, I took a 2nd job on the weekends as I waited tables on Sat / Sun even working double shifts. I worked 7 days a week for over a year. Even after I moved out I had a roommate for the next 7 years and on and off I kept my 2nd job (although I changed the part-time schedule a bit and only worked 2 shifts: Sat night and a swing shift on Sun 11AM-8PM.). When I finally quit the 2nd job, it felt a bit weird and just started working more at the office job (not getting paid extra). At one point, I didn't take a vacation for 5 years. More out of choice and not because of any constraints. And, that was because my friend was getting married.
    34
  447.  @nlhernandez39  The dude was getting beat up and needed to retool his game plan. The Korean military assigned him to a desk job and he was allowed to train after hours. This is not a usual assignment and I wouldn't be surprised if he got a small bit of preferential treatment due to being a popular UFC fighter. He fulfilled his mandatory military enlistment, but maintained a training schedule at the same time.
    34
  448. Korea is nuts. They've swung from the teachers can do anything to now the students can do anything.
    34
  449. Totally bonkers with the languages: Ivory Coast used to be a French colony, French is the official language. But, looks like the mom is fluent in English. Mom probably speaks: French, English and some Korean Samuel probably speaks: Korean, French and some English
    34
  450. Really weird. This is basically around the corner from Western addition (which is mostly a black neighborhood). This isn't Pac Heights / Presidio area.
    34
  451. Horrible idea. Juries should be anonymous.
    34
  452. That’s the difference in the US. If you get laid off and you are a tech worker, you can easily get a job at a non-tech company or even government.
    34
  453.  @Thichaou  It's literally how China has operated. You can't start a business in China without a joint venture.
    34
  454. lol, these people aren't even speaking Korean. That's weird. So basically, its for the cameras and to cause a scene.
    34
  455. If you want to have an audience across the globe, people have to be way more conscientious. It's tough, but it comes with the territory. In the US, we focused on US and "Western" history. I barely know any stuff about Asia even though I'm Korean. But, I'm not a celebrity and we have google now.
    34
  456. Exactly what the founding fathers intended in a well regulated militia. Oh boy.
    34
  457. Unrelated: Seems like a Korean robot committed suicide A civil servant robot working for a council in South Korea was found unresponsive after apparently throwing itself down a flight of stairs, with locals now mourning the country's first robot suicide.
    34
  458. Because the CCP will dump their overcapacity at below market prices. Man, people on the CNBC comment section never took a basic course in Econ.
    34
  459. Scrolling the internet and seems like there were 2 other plane issues yesterday. One in Canada and one in Norway, yikes.
    34
  460. Weirdly, the cinematography more feels like a TV drama than a typical news / doc.
    33
  461. Maybe Santa Claus can gift the Philippines a few Typhon batteries for Christmas.
    33
  462. Nothing to worry about. I’m sure Russian winters are mild and short. Luckily, nothing else is going on and they can focus resources on fixing this.
    33
  463. Shapiro's stance on school vouchers was possibly even more problematic. Walz is the exact opposite and was a teacher. Edit: Just looked up the stats. The teacher's union is the biggest in America and it's solidly Democratic: 3M+. Can't win without the teacher's union.
    33
  464. The crew. Really seems like it comes down to how skilled the crew is.
    33
  465. This is 10th time Pooh Bear has been absent from the public for an extended period (making up the number). I wouldn't hold your breath.
    33
  466. People around the world have been doing this for decades. People never heard of day old bread / baked goods. And, stores have been discounting goods for ages that are close to the sell by date.
    33
  467. Parasites to the globe. I see why the local bento shops are really popular on the Japanese videos. And, the prices are nuts. 1 kg bento is around $6-7 max. Likely, those bentos were going to convenience stores.
    33
  468. In theory, high inflation will self correct. Prices get too high and people buy less. Demand lowers and brings inflation lower. Deflation is a total death spiral. Can’t self correct without some type of external fix.
    33
  469. Maintaining 2 places of living is a reasonable argument. Instead of raising their pay, they should get housing / travel stipends.

  470. Dude reminds me of Jon Hamm. Super nice guy and in a million different roles and didn’t breakout until near 40.
    33
  471. We are Korea’s friend again.

  472. A decade ago, I was experimenting a lot for "fun". Water diets are more like cleanses and almost reset your body. But, some people will intermittent fast by the day. Eat Sun-Tue. Fast Wed. Eat Thu-Fri. Fast Sat (something like that). Not my cup of tea (pun intended). Here's the key though: don't mess with your metabolism over a long period of time. Caloric restriction can hurt a person in the long term. A person can go from eating 2000 calories a day without gaining weight to only 1500 calories a day if your body / metabolism downshifts. Always better to increase the exercise portion rather than just restrict calories.
    32
  473. Just terrible. Han Gong-ju was an extremely tough watch. My brain tends to block out details of horrible situations in movies after watching them. The dry rational thing would to debate teen sentences, what are appropriate sentences for certain crimes, etc. Too depressing though.
    32
  474. US is getting crushed with the immediate less need for commercial buildings as well. The biggest issue with CCP China in commercial vs residential real estate: commercial companies can go bankrupt and stiff the banks with the loans. Chinese chives citizens can't discharge their debt and have to pay for eternity. The commercial real estate market is a way bigger risk to the financial system.
    32
  475. lol, it's literally defending the flow of goods to England and other EU countries.
    32
  476. I’m fully convinced that religion’s impact has more negatives than positives.
    32
  477. From an outsider perspective, it's plain embarrassing. They made a directive to stop using cell phones and created their own trap of exploding pagers. And the entire world is like, "pagers? people still use pagers? and, you got fooled by pagers?".
    32
  478. For better or worse, the military industrial complex at its finest.
    32
  479. Korea (ROK) is the one really stepping up. Likely, won’t deal with some of the shadier Russian arms importers, but more the “neutral ones”. SE Asia, India, Middle East.
    32
  480. lol, this is the most rational Brett Baier has ever been. It's like he's a different person outside of Fox.
    32
  481. Thank god I grew up in the States and not Korea. So many good schools in the US with lowish requirements. I didn't prep for the SATs at all and got a bit under 1200 (good math, bad verbal). Any reasonable SAT score and B grades will get usually get you into a decent state school.
    32
  482. Man, losing high paying white collar jobs ie law firms is devastating. They spend lavishly with clients. Also, just imagine the little things like the people that cleaned the offices, dry cleaners and places they ordered food for lunch.
    31
  483. Odd timing. They are posting this in the middle of a pandemic.
    31
  484. Rules are fine. The wording was poor.
    31
  485.  @Thichaou  They aren't getting banned. They are having to divest their investment. They can either sell or not operate in the US.
    31
  486. Impossible math. 1500 euros / 30 days = 50 euro per day. 50 euro / 16 hours = 3.5 euro per hour Drivers earn closer to <1 euro per delivery, so that’s 4 deliveries per hour 4 deliveries for 16 hours for 30 days non-stop is an impossible number to average.
    31
  487.  @edwardfletcher7790  Dude - you serious? You think militaries send in random troops for peacekeeping missions. Just look at US history. US sent Marines into Haiti. And, Somalia. You send some of your better troops because it's an international mission. Somalia is a good example even though it was direct action against Americans. The Chinese were the sideshow in Sudan.
    30
  488. The ironic part is CCP China is always touting its speed in building infrastructure. So instead of building it closer to demand, they do the exact opposite. The "smart" play would take advantage of its supposed efficient building timeframes to maximize usage.
    30
  489. She's really really young. Debuted at 14. Only 16 now. The girl in the white is only 17.
    30
  490. This more paths to victory verbiage makes me nervous. Harris has to win PA. MI and WI can be balanced out, but it's the same message that wins PA. It's very hard to win PA without MI and WI (message wise).
    30
  491. The dude is the exact opposite of JD Vance. JD is pretending to be someone they think the VP should be. Walz is someone that you could barely create in a lab properly if you tried. Military Service. Gun Owner. Went to normal public college. Teacher. Football coach. Speaks normal.
    30
  492. Not to mention that high temperatures / steam probably isn't the best for the phone components. A sauna for a phone!
    30
  493. Weird that Kia was so generous.
    30
  494. 1- these girls are more Korean than me 2- as an ethnic Korean who grew up i the states, I understand how they feel
    30
  495. Naw, they were bad drivers. They were driving straight. I've got up to 130mph before and it gets a little scary then. 100mph should be fine.
    30
  496. I know we didn't have a developed internet back then, but geez. It's just common sense. Don't go to a third world country and start flashing money. They could have moved to Hawaii and gotten the same outdoor experience, but with safety.
    30
  497. Just another reminder of how blessed the US is. Most arable land (or second) in the world and energy independent.
    30
  498. @Oreos It ain't about being a smooth talker. It's about seeing the world and life from a varied wide perspective. Obama has a sense of empathy mixed with intelligence and rational decision making. Basically, the opposite of the Donald.
    29
  499. BAC Consulting = Acme Corporation (Road Runner)
    29
  500. Had another dude compare him to Tim Kaine. Seems like they are scared. They don’t know what to do.
    29
  501. It's the sheer numbers. That's the CCP's advantage. Just to overwhelm Taiwan with numbers before help can arrive. (not saying it would be successful)
    29
  502. Don't worry folks! In 6 months, you won't even remember this one because there will be 300 other ones after it. (not joking. There were 656 mass shootings in 2023.)
    29
  503. Geez, the dude is 51. And, she's 35. At least she is helping the fertility rate. side note: Jung Woo-sung must have a thing for "westerners" since he was dating Lee Ji-ah when the Seo Taiji news broke on her. Edit: oopps, looks like the dude has / had a long-term girlfriend. Uh oh.
    29
  504. People need to start reading books again. Teaches you patience.
    29
  505. The slow bleed is the worst. In 2008, my former company was afraid of the unknown, but our numbers were never terrible. I ran the department responsible for revenue, so I never felt uneasy because I had full visibility and things weren't bad. After 2009, we felt comfortable enough to hire / give raises again. Basically, about 1.5 years of belt tightening just in case. China keeps tightening slowly and no one knows where the bottom is. Realistically, they've been in a recession for at least 1 year now and no real stimulus. It's mind boggling.
    29
  506. 3 course meal and three times a day of bitterness. Thanks Pooh Bear!
    29
  507. The problem is the judge gave a lean sentence because he was "drunk". The prosecutors / investigators were terrible. She was permanently disabled. It's a terrible case. Makes you want to puke if you start finding out the facts surrounding the case.
    29
  508. One of our greatest exports of soft power has been music, TV and films. It's fitting that US-Korea is showing a display in the White House, but in the real world, Korea has executed this soft power to perfection in the past 10+ years globally (and even longer in Asia).
    29
  509. US is pretty strict with single females due to prostitution / human trafficking. My relative from Asia was questioned for an extended period of time even though its a visa free country to the US and she was staying with me.
    29
  510. Congrats JD for "helping" the ticket!
    29
  511.  @SeanHenrichs  I'm Korean and have gotten questioned about my nationality / ethnicity my whole life. Relax dude. You really expect some British dude to be able to notice the difference between East Asians?
    29
  512.  @KingDeadMan  lol, you must be American. It's really a hard argument to say white bread is better than bread from a good bakery. And, not to be pedantic, but the video was about ultra processed foods which white bread fits into that category.
    29
  513. Zero chance someone in the US is getting suspended and demoted for that.
    29
  514. VP choices can't necessarily win an election, but it does represent Harris' governing style and maybe tip a few voters. She wanted a balanced ticket to represent all of America.
    29
  515. The GOP delegation went last year. Pompeo went there. This has been the norm for decades.
    29
  516. Korean food has so many good side dishes (banchan) that are low calorie. Plus, the soups as well. Just limit the rice intake.
    28
  517. He's made 1/2 billion dollars from Spotify. Dude doesn't mind selling out for that kind of money.
    28
  518. There are good charts out there that show the decline of union jobs and correlation of the decline of middle class incomes. We are basically ruled by corporations now.
    28
  519. Supreme Court Justices have a security detail. They know where he is.
    28
  520. I regret starting these 50 hour dramas. 16 hours seem to be the perfect length.
    28
  521. Ironic that it was leftover American made helicopters from the Shah. Obviously, those are really old. And, sure seems to go against bad guy America to be transported in American hardware.
    28
  522. hahahah, this is the best system ever. - charge low prices that make no profit and little profit for the supplier - boost profit margins by "fining" the supplier to make profit and large margins Pooh Bear is a genius. Socialism with Chinese characteristics? Sounds like capitalism with Chinese characteristics.
    28
  523. SFO is always a bit scary to land since it looks like you are landing on water until you hit the runway.
    28
  524.  @arnoldmags1996  It's mathematically impossible. RE is 25% of the economy and is down at least -20%. That means everything else has to be up 7% just to get to a flat GDP. That's ain't happening. Minimally, they are -5% GDP, but probably closer to -10%.
    28
  525. It's funny. My first trip to Korea was in the early 2000s. The picture quality of the video makes it old, but that's how I remember my first visit. Korea while developed still had a tinge of being "oldish". Incheon airport hadn't opened and flew into Gimpo. Itaewon was...umm, a bit weirdish. No idea why my relatives took me there. I miss the old Korea a bit.
    28
  526. These are not US proxies.
    28
  527. Obviously, there is danger to life during these attacks, but they seems so random and with no tactical strategy behind it.
    28
  528. Reminds of when Russia started selling off State assets. It's how Russia established their oligarch system.
    28
  529. Also, are we just casually forgetting that 25-50M men can't get married and have kids? Because of the gender imbalance.
    28
  530. umm, it was incredibly fair. The parents didn't have a visa. They actually let the kids finish their education and high school. I'm very liberal when it comes to immigration as an ethnic Korean in America, but Korea decision makers are a bit more strict.
    27
  531. Seoul to Busan is 400km. 1100km is incomprehensible to Koreans.
    27
  532. There are no sanctions on UA wheat. Russia stole the grain from the silos and geez, guess what? It’s hard to farm when your country is getting attacked.
    27
  533. F' that. Her fellow citizens are dying and Belarus bears some responsibility.
    27
  534.  @ckwkta88  It's internet people with zero medical training being experts on medical procedures off a short video clip. People are just weird.
    27
  535. They did a hand count in GA. Guess the software scam skipped GA.
    27
  536. Brutal. These are the "worst" type of films because it's pure reality.
    27
  537. 1:43 My god, a dead battery has more energy than this guy. How the f' did he win his primary in 2018?
    27
  538. How is a SuperPAC not hiring people in chicken outfits to follow Donnie around?
    27
  539. Yikes, Federal charges. She’s screwed.
    27
  540. lol, no way are those spicy strips made of real meat.
    27
  541. Let's be real. These subs have been nearby in the waters many many times.
    27
  542. It’s like these people don’t follow politics. There were no “surprise” topics. It’s literally the stuff that someone running for POTUS should be aware and know how to answer.
    27
  543. It’s totally trainable. My right shoulder was hurting from work (computer stuff) and I trained myself to use the mouse with my left in 2 weeks. Same with eating with my left with a fork.
    27
  544. Trump could get away with it since Biden was campaigning even less. Now, we have Kamala who can campaign daily. Game on!
    27
  545. Everyone has to watch Meru. Seems like a 10x harder documentary to film since they didn’t have a film crew.
    27
  546. Attack? More like consolidating facts in a clear message.
    27
  547. People hate to admit they were wrong.
    27
  548. Dude - it has been way worse.
    27
  549. This is an insult to any veterans that fought in Europe in WWII.
    26
  550. I threw snowballs at cars. We used to go to the woods and throw bottles against the wall. Experimented with smoking, alcohol and weed. My friends even tagged. I think you need to separate kids being bored and stupid with literally heinous crimes. These were high school kids which means they were at least 14-15. Kids know right from wrong by then.
    26
  551. Live commerce has to be the most inefficient way to shop. It's recycling the old QVC model. Man, I remember when I didn't have cable and they would have the TV shopping on late night on the UHF channels.
    26
  552. lol, they've been stealing Korean dramas since they got banned. And, Hollywood films for even longer.
    26
  553. That's why no one takes them seriously with their rebuttals.
    26
  554. Japan has one of the longest lifespans on the planet at 85.0 years. Koreans who have 2x the daily recommended sodium intake have a lifespan of 84.1 years. They rank #3 and #7.
    26
  555. I worked for a very large corporation in the offices after college. Likely no company does this now, but I basically trained for nearly 2 months without any "real" responsibility. Never got higher than lower level, but I'd imagine their management training was just as rigorous. Then, I moved to a smaller, much smaller company. Even at the small company, we had very expensive lawyers that would warn us annually on stuff. Don't write anything down controversial! I wasn't even dealing with controversial stuff, but I would walk over and discuss stuff that I would never want to be seen by someone else. That or I'd reply and say, "hey, give me a call when you get a chance". Man, people need to assume that every text / email will always be leaked in any job. (Also, this is what happens when a company grows too fast. Managing a big company ain't the same as a small one with 2 groups.)
    26
  556. At least the dude is your normal old school GOP. Seems halfway sane.
    26
  557. Dumb question: do Chinese students not do internships? Graduated a while ago, but even I started thinking about my future in my junior year. Quit my restaurant part time job and took worst paying research position in the finance department at college. Ended up parlaying into a job with a local CFP for summer + senior year.
    25
  558. Poland should start training UA forces on their Leopard tanks. They’ll be trained by the time Germany makes the final call.
    25
  559. Costco has a team of people working hard to ensure quality and the lowest price. Don’t tell me some random people can replicate that process. Chinese people only learned the bad parts of capitalism. Brands still mean something in the US. Maybe a bit less to the newer generation.
    25
  560. Whew, I thought she was going to "break up" with her father and quit the business.
    25
  561. I'm shocked... who the hell isn't locking their phone?
    25
  562. Because you have to submit your list of evidence before the trial starts. There are procedures that courts follow. His lawyer did not put it on the list.
    25
  563. What a disaster. All these big tech companies have killed small businesses and related jobs. And, now they are firing their own people. Quick glance: NTES has 15B in cash on the balance sheet and generates 3-4B in free cash flow a year. And, this is the difference between small businesses and publicly traded companies. Small businesses will run less efficiently and carry more jobs. These big companies will slice jobs all the time.
    25
  564. Whoa, did not realize these were all private universities. I guess it kinda makes sense since public universities "might" have to be open to all students.
    25
  565. The US originally had a mutual defense pact with Taiwan. We were jerks and reneged on the deal because we want to cozy up with CCP China. This happened under the Carter admin in late ‘79. Congress was pretty annoyed, so they passed a law requiring the US to sell “defensive” weapons to Taiwan. Carter is a good man, but was a terrible POTUS.
    25
  566. Sure seems like we are testing the US military’s 3 front war capacity. Oddly, with no boots on the ground. Really is becoming a logistics / weapons production race now.
    25
  567. If the governing party can't supply electricity, it's time for them to go. (not even going to mention public safety.)
    25
  568. There are required financial disclosures that are mandatory. They are accessible to the public.
    25
  569. I have never been in a deposition. I am not a lawyer. And, even I know they ask the most mundane questions in the deposition. That's the whole point. It's information gathering.
    25
  570. It's literally one of the main missions of the US Navy. To protect global commerce. From the Secretary of the US Navy: "The United States emerged from World War II as the dominant naval power and since then, has underwritten the laws and rules that govern the oceans, for example ensuring that acts of piracy are the exception rather than the rule, as was the case in the past. It is thanks to our presence in international waters that commerce has boomed in the last half-century all over the world—and with those increased levels of trade have come improved economic prospects, higher standards of living, and greater opportunities for greater numbers of people, not just in the United States, but in all nations that participate in free and open trade. The U.S. Navy has guaranteed this freedom by ensuring the stability and security of sea lanes around the world, particularly in areas where piracy, terrorism, and other forms of illegal activity threaten the safe passage of goods and people."
    25
  571. I feel a bit confused. From the outside, it looks like the fire stayed localized a bit. Sounds like many people died from smoke inhalation. Not sure if the fire spread to other floors or other rooms.
    25
  572.  @danwelterweight4137  Learn how to write a proper paragraph without massive spaces.
    25
  573. The US has been using the old F-4s...for target practice, lol.
    25
  574. Eric’s got this. He’s the secret weapon, lol.
    25
  575. lol, Nikki Haley. No way can she turn out Trump's crazy base.
    25
  576. Because I’m an ethnocentric American. It’s the size of Iowa! With half of the US population. It’s extremely dense.
    25
  577. Even if they manage to hold the territory, they’ll be bodies coming back in coffins for years. Occupation is unsustainable.
    25
  578. Never thought I'd say that I miss this type of GOP.
    24
  579. Even the Tories or any right leaning party in a democratic nation have to admit the guy is crazy after that debate.
    24
  580. Upper Tier UA dudes. Can tell pretty easily by the rifles and they had good situational awareness.
    24
  581. I used to be very lax about wearing my seatbelt when I was younger (college age) when flying. I started to adjust. Now, I always wear the belt and have it tight during the flight. Some of it is just bad luck. Dude could have been getting up to go to the bathroom.
    24
  582. My favorite comedic moment in the state run government: Back in 2017, the government crackdowned on HNA Group because their debt levels were getting too high: on the books for $100B (a wild ownership structure though). In 2018, they crackdowned on Anbang Insurance which had assets listed at $300B (who knows) and debt levels likely the same. But, at the same time they let Evergrande and Country Garden keep accumulating more debt until they got to the same $200-300B range. And, we all know how that worked out.
    24
  583. It’s called probable cause. You can’t have a suspicion to get a search warrant, but actual evidence. Basically, someone needs to rat him out at the other locations before a search warrant is issued.
    24
  584. Weight is a math game regardless of what country you live. Eventually, it catches up to you. I was extremely skinny until I started working in an office. A few factors help people in Korea: the food is naturally low calories. When I visit Korea, usually I'm eating rice, banchan, and soup for 3 meals a day when we eat at the house. Also, most people in Korea don't drive to work. People walk a lot more.
    24
  585. lol, the forced closure of Lotte back in 2017-18 saved them tons of money. They probably sold their buildings / leases near the highs and didn’t have to take losses during the pandemic.
    24
  586. This isn't his first rodeo. They believed their own smoke and thought all Arabs / Muslims love China.
    24
  587. Naw dude. They just steal it. Everything is pirated in China.
    24
  588. Kids learn everything quick. That’s why teaching kids a 2nd or 3rd language is very easy.
    24
  589. I've been to Korea many times and there are A LOT of condo buildings. Rows and rows of identical buildings in clusters which isn't something you'd see in the US. And, you do a little digging. Many of them are built by the big chaebols while others are built by real estate development companies. The building I lived in Daegu was called, "Hyundai Hyperion". Seems a big of overdominance, but to a degree it's a safeguard in quality. The big conglomerates need to deliver good quality projects or it will hurt their brand in other areas of business. CCP China has no such safeguards.
    24
  590.  @ChrisB-xw7un  I had no conclusions about the guy except obviously he had issues. Dude joined the service right after high school. Got medically exempted out AND had 3 kids + this weird chick. That's a lot of stress and not a great mental state. Just explains that he wasn't in a good spot in life. My brother joined the service when he was 19. But, he just focused on his military career. Didn't get married and have kids until mid-late 20s.
    24
  591. It’s nearly impossible to not drink in Korea. So many social functions revolve around drinking.
    24
  592. The interesting part is Ken Buck is not a moderate. The dude is extremely conservative. No exceptions for abortion. Doesn’t believe in climate change. (All listed on Wikipedia)
    24
  593. I’ve convinced myself that the shorter campaign cycle is a positive for Harris. No bruising primaries. It will just be go go non-stop 3 months.
    24
  594. Is it really an assassination if two groups are actively fighting each other?
    24
  595. Come on dude. Stop promulgating that every military personnel is an angel. Just statistically impossible and avoids facts and the truth. And, it possibly creates blind spots.
    23
  596. Dude was crooked as hell.
    23
  597. Usually, takes 7 years after bank deregulation for a major crisis. This time, it only took 5 years. - S&L crisis - 2007-08 mortgage mess (stuff starting getting screwed in ‘06)
    23
  598. My friend's husband is a slow talker. The dude is one of the smartest people I've met. Stanford grad.
    23
  599. Very few airports. Experience with SARS. Allowed to track people on their phones. People ok with wearing masks. Smaller population. Lots of built in advantages.
    23
  600. The commercial real estate will create way more tangible problems for banks than the residential side. Ordinary Chinese citizens can’t walk away from their mortgage easily. Defaults on commercial will immediately hit the banks NPL. And if standard mark to market accounting rules apply, all these assets need to be written down on someone’s balance sheet at some point.
    23
  601.  @choiswimmer  Actually, that's not how the US works. The Federal government has a separate pension plan: FERS which is a multi-tiered plan. But, it's backed by the government and is underfunded. Social security trust is a totally separate entity. State and local governments have their own pension plans.
    23
  602. umm, no one is spending money though. No jobs are getting created by people going to Chengdu.
    23
  603. I bet Pooh Bear's family sold their properties years ago.
    23
  604. WTF? He still considers himself in the hospitality business? What kind of insane comment is that? He's f-ing POTUS.
    23
  605. It's the gerrymandering. Too many districts are uncompetitive, so there was way more compromise in politics out of necessity in the past. Apolitical districting and somehow getting the large donors out of politics would be my top 2 asks.
    23
  606. What's nuts is these marriages with chaebols are all arranged marriages, but the lawyers NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT A PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENT. What the heck? You know how dramas have plots about business families marrying a politician's daughter? It's not made up. She is the daughter of the South Korean president (and ex-army general), Roh Tae-woo. They got married when...he was in his first year in office, lol. Also, the dude was connected to the prior President, Chun Doo-hwan, who was a scumbag. And in typical Korean fashion was a Korean president that went to jail after his term. Edit: wrote this before the video ended. Realized they put some of it in the video.
    23
  607. lol, it's always the Chinese stealing fish and fishing in other waters. If it was another country, they just would have complied with the Coast Guard.
    23
  608.  @johnm84  There is literally a video where a citizen is holding back the dude with the knife at the mall with a metal pole on the escalator. Delayed the guy enough for the cops to arrive. No one does that against a gun.
    23
  609. There has to be some cameras in the area.
    23
  610. lol, the Central bank is raising rates 2x the "official" inflation rate. That would be madness...unless the inflation rate is dead wrong.
    23
  611. Even without the schizophrenia, you'd think the obvious change of pace is to let her speak about her life. And, then what she did in the past week leading up the the prior night. And, step by step walk through the last 24 hours.

  612. This totally feels like it was sponsored by the olive oil industry.
    23
  613. I think Colbert is probably at the top since he performed even with his huuuuge balls hanging down. Would have loved to see Wanda go all out. She definitely held back some.
    22
  614. lol, scooter? I guess some of these can go fast, but this isn’t the same as a car.
    22
  615. Don't want to give them any ideas, but they should be trading with Russia in these brand name cars.
    22
  616. I’m always impressed by Sana’s Korean. I think she learned for about 3+ years, but she sounds so natural whe speaking.
    22
  617. Fox has a ton of assets. They could easily absorb a large settlement.
    22
  618.  @SkyFireYZ  Naw, "aviation" people are saying that overshot the landing (landing in the mid-length of the runway) and were going way too fast.
    22
  619. Let’s be real: Harlan is slipping him hard cold cash every time they meet.
    22
  620. This has been a trend in the US for years now. Not sure why it's some type of surprise. Sometimes, it's just odd that China thinks they can escape trends ie malls were dying in the US for years, but China kept expanding. Cord cutting and eyeballs on internet platforms instead of cable / terrestrial TV has been happening for 10+ years in the US.
    22
  621. Love it. Everyone is trying to scam each other. The scammers become the scamees. It's one big circular scamfest. Peoples Republic of Scamville.
    22
  622. Imagine if you are a homebuyer of a pre-paid property. You are paying a mortgage on a future property and the developer goes bankrupt. Guess what? The bond holders now own the building and can sell “your” property to recoup their bond principal. The homebuyer now has to pay a mortgage for a property they don’t own and will never receive. HAHAHAAHAHHAAAAHHAA. (This is why the CCP is delaying bankruptcies in these insolvent developers.)
    22
  623.  @xiaodansheng1239  lol, yeah dude. If you there is no traffic and every delivery is 15 minutes away. This isn't fantasy land. For a few hours yes. But this is an average. It has to be like that in perpetuity non-stop. Edit: haha, even I didn't think it through. Every delivery needs to be 7.5 mins away from shop to delivery location to shop again. Drivers can't teleport back. Also, they can't have any waiting time at the shops.
    22
  624. It's just not funny material though. The guy doesn't interact with average people anymore or have average people problems. Makes material pretty bad.
    22
  625. 16:14 Dude is stuck in the old CCP economy. Only so many cars and houses people can buy in a 7-10 year period. People can go on trips 2-4 times a year. And, this is the problem with the CCP economy. Money isn't flowing.
    22
  626. A drop in commodity prices would be welcome. The bigger impact will be in possible neighboring Asian countries. Us exports to China will hardly be impacted.
    22
  627. This is a solid stress free drama. Didn’t make my blood boil like some shows, but instead focuses on interpersonal family relationships.
    22
  628. Cambodia is a weird place to get plastic surgery. Much better ones in Korea. Or even Thailand (if price / anonymity is a concern).
    22
  629. The old "lie flat" and "let it rot" policy, lol.
    22
  630. It would be more expensive that way + there is “family duty” in Korea.
    22
  631.  @dreadsupreme  Samsung is way more diversified than Apple / Google. They supply Apple with components as well as making their own phones. They are a conglomerate with their hands in many different segments.
    22
  632.  @MUUFerozyMusic  When people start getting neck and facial tattoos, they are severely limiting their employment options. Korea is pretty conservative. People might even feel iffy shopping at a store owned by someone with tattoos.
    22
  633. Correct. Actors only make money if they are getting CFs. 1 CF can earn you the same amount of money as an entire film / TV job. Acting is the part that can make you popular, so that you can get CFs. Won bin hasn’t had a project since 2010 and is still pulling in $500K per CF.
    21
  634. Really? This isn't the first crackdown. They put a limit on the hours played per week a while ago (for minors).
    21
  635. It’s funny how AJ isn’t covering the Iran blackouts. If blackouts were occurring in a western country, there would be 2 videos daily.
    21
  636. Lots of people don't know how to swim. If you don't have access to a very large pool or lake when younger, I'm not sure where people would learn.
    21
  637. Las Vegas.
    21
  638. Samsung saw the writing on the wall much earlier. They started to move their productions in the early 2010s.
    21
  639. A very long time ago, I worked at 7-11 as a teenager. a few points: 1- we had a time locked safe. We barely held any cash in registers. Maybe $40 max. Time lock safe would let us withdraw $20 at a time and this is when people didn't use credit cards. We would always deposit $20 bills in these tubes into the safe (didn't have access to open the safe). 2- we were very friendly with our local police. I think there was a discount program for them (can't remember) 3- we had a panic button (this was in a suburb of an East Coast city with virtually no crime.)
    21
  640. Usually, they'd go after the fencers. That's part of the reason why property / merchandise crime has reinvented themselves. All these internet sites are basically fencing stolen goods. Back in the day, it was much hard to sell.
    21
  641. This is why Trump acts with impunity. No consequences and everyone kisses the ring.
    21
  642. I find it quite amusing that Daddy Xi decided to dump a massive amount of money into another "new" city west of Tainjin. I'm only a simpleton, but wouldn't it make sense just to build up the older city that needed investment? They are both 100km away from Beijing.
    21
  643. Zeihan’s analysis makes sense. This isn’t the real carrier, but the test carrier to see if they could manufacture a carrier from the ground up. The last one was to see if they could copy old Soviet designs. The next one will be the one to evaluate.
    21
  644. lol, they couldn't even maintain helicopters for their President.
    21
  645. Has to be the weirdest war where strategies are being openly discussed in public before it happens.
    21
  646. Korea has a really interesting weapons export strategy. They sell “some” units upfront and then basically, license the tech / production out. Allows countries to control their own production.
    21
  647. We Americans have slow walked everything: M777 howitzer, HIMARS, tanks, fighter jets, long range missiles. Every stage. UA should of trained last summer / fall on all the advanced gear. (But, UA would be getting nothing if Trump were in office. Also, we would have withdrawn from NATO.)
    21
  648. Not joking. A few dozen people showed up in Michigan for JD Vance. (full disclosure: looks like it was a weird presser.)
    21
  649.  @polikarpkojin4088 Sure bud. If Blackwater would have stormed and took over Ft Bragg, it's just your friendly conversation. Coup or Mutiny. Doesn't matter. Putin put him 6 ft under. Btw, coupe is a car style.
    21
  650. There is a really good video on how the lost and found process works in Japan.
    21
  651. Really sweaty at the end of the fight. Maybe in the first round, Machida can't slip out.
    21
  652. Stop. It's talking about brand sponsorship. In Korea, no company wants to pay someone to represent their brand if they are wrapped in controversy.
    21
  653. Basically, it's the multiplier effect. Its one of the first concepts you learn in Econ 101. Works both ways. $1 less in spending isn't just $1. It rips through the whole economy. You can't have 25% of your GDP down -20% or more and not fix or combat it. Real estate has been trending lower for a year now (maybe longer. Can't remember when new home sales started plummeting). Was easy just to say it was the lockdowns last year. But, really it was real estate dragging everything lower.
    21
  654. She has aged well. Looks great for being 36.
    21
  655. What's the deal with insulting Hawaii? The US Pacific Fleet is headquartered out of Hawaii.
    21
  656. On the East Coast, most homes are multi-level with a basement. Our house wasn't that old, but the basement was unfinished and had a lot of nooks and crannies that were fun for a cat. Then, add in lots of windows, old school radiators w/ covers. Weirdly, we just left food out all the time. Cat(s) were always slim.
    21
  657. Man, I remember when Obama's ex-appointees were asking for his criminal referrals. Oh yeah, never happened., lol.
    21
  658. Ironically, hosting has gotten so expensive, no one except a few countries can host the World Cup (and Olympics) going forward.
    21
  659. I don't see the downside.
    21
  660. While I think California's fast food wage law is stupid, I think people in CCP China would be shocked to know that fast food workers make 1,150 yuan per day for an 8 hour shift.
    20
  661. People were getting it on last Dec / Jan for some reason. Must have been in the holiday spirit. Korea needs to host the World Cup again. It got a short (but temporary) jolt from people partying and then...doing it, lol.
    20
  662. Basically going to be a dual hit: a terrible economy and births falling off a cliff. Going to see huge hits in anything kid related in the next 5-10 years.
    20
  663. Haha, this same thing happened in the US for decades. Kids are 1.5 / 2nd generation and speak English fluently. Parents don't speak English well. Kids speak Korean "ok". In the US, parents will talk in Korean and the kids speak back in half English / half Korean.
    20
  664. Great. We supposedly have AI and self driving cars, but can't even put tech into a car to determine if there is manual pedal acceleration or computer aided. Or, if brakes are functioning properly.
    20
  665. Math is now "woke".
    20
  666. Unfortunately, it reminds me of the Ronald Spiers quote from Band of Brothers: "The only hope you have is to accept the fact that you're already dead. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function as a soldier is supposed to function: without mercy, without compassion, without remorse. All war depends upon it.”
    20
  667. @ If you never lived in Hawaii, you have no clue. Why try to "win" the internet with a snarky comment? I may have looked like a local, but like the video is talking about: I wasn't local. And, my name isn't Kim. This is a legacy screenname from my old roommate.
    20
  668. 1:17 My god. She looks amazing for being almost 60. Just use her as a CF for Korean doctors and / or beauty products. Also, she's another Korean drama plotline, lol (via Wikipedia): In 2018, South Korean media published an interview with two victims who said Roh verbally abused her personal drivers.[8] Two anonymous individuals who had worked as personal chauffeurs since 2007 stated that they experienced verbal abuse and violent behaviour such as throwing objects inside the vehicle.[9][10] Further revelations from a gym staff and her former secretary followed. Park Young-sik, a lawyer representing Director Roh also stated the following. "Everything is not true. It is highly subjective, so it is inappropriate to respond to each claim."[14] Honestly, it could be her husband paying off people to make her look bad in the divorce proceedings. Or, she could be a crazy chaebol wife. Edit: and, the other drama plotline. She's the founder / director of an art museum, lol.
    20
  669. This is the reality when CCP China has an average income is around 12K USD. The US has huge issues with inequity, but there are a lot of random jobs that put people / families in the middle class. Walmart managers can make 130K USD with a bonus that can triple the salary. Average full time UPS person is making 100K USD now. CCP just doesn't have the same paths for the common folk.
    20
  670. Was a kid before the internet. I used to spend all day in the library reading books on the weekends occasionally. We are getting dumb and dumber by the second. lol, my parents didn't allow us to watch TV on school nights either. So, all I did was read or listen to the music. (Also, both of my parents were educators. Although, my Mom eventually went into a different profession.)
    20
  671. It's a good thing their population hasn't peaked and incomes haven't stagnated. That would be a massive waste of resources.
    20
  672. I always forget how young she is. Only 21 during this interview.
    20
  673. The party of supposed personal responsibility sure likes to blame other people for their own problems.
    20
  674. Didn't realize this was the endgame for the F-35B. While the operating costs are much higher than a standard jet, it creates a whole new dimension for these tweener carriers.
    20
  675. There are various resources now that make it way easier to search. You need a starting point though. Like, the name of the domestic agency and international agency at least. (Also, FYI...there is a group of older Korean adoptees fighting for adoptee rights in Korea for over a decade now.)
    20
  676. Man, I hope the drone operators had coms with the dudes on the ground and was being a proper overwatch. Have no clue what actually happened.
    20
  677.  @vladamerzliakova3900  He and the Korean Skating union had some bad blood. Didn't qualify for the 2010 Olympics, so he moved to Russia. He's a speed skater. And he won medals in 2014 for Russia.
    20
  678. Obviously the son should be going to an arts focused school. But, only well off people can afford that. Didn’t see what city they live, but looks too small to have magnet public schools.
    20
  679. A bit weird. You'd think they would have 100 different preset iterations of attacking Taiwan by now.
    20
  680. Raskin is a real asset to the Democratic party. He probably could have Ben Cardin's replacement in the Senate, but having him in the House is valuable.
    20
  681. This is a criminal's worst nightmare. 2 super smart scientist parents determined to figure out the truth.
    20
  682. Just want the JDAMs to start getting used. Its the greatest tactical advantage UA will have.
    20
  683. Naw, Korean people have short legs.
    20
  684. Here’s why I only eat Shin ramyun: there is no real “upgrade”. Instant jjajangmyung or instant bibim naengmyeon are 1000x better when you eat at a restaurant / cafe. The instant ones are just disappointing by comparison.
    20
  685. 13K people died to drunk driving last year. That's 35 per day or 1.5 people per hour.
    20
  686. I think you are misinterpreting the video. Babies can be easily registered in Korea, but the parent (mother) doesn't want the social stigma attached to having a kid that young. The opposite is true. It's very hard to "unregister" a kid.
    20
  687. Drugs are weird. I’ve done a few different drugs and some for “extended” periods of time. But, never had a problem quitting. It’s odd how they react differently with people.
    20
  688. Obviously, they never did a financial model for each property. It was basically a Ponzi scheme. The future project was paying for the last project.
    20
  689. Probably a big snowball effect. None of his acquaintances can be associated with him due to risk of losing / getting penalties in their own contracts. So, probably felt pretty isolated.
    20
  690. They used non-lethal methods. If you are a guest in a different country, don't do stupid stuff.
    20
  691. The Chinese aggression with South Korea over THAAD was a blessing in disguise for Samsung.
    20
  692. Somehow I followed her from Baltimore to SF, so I feel very connected to her. She's a total technocrat and back office power player which is more my style. And, my political spectrum is very close to her. Much love for Nancy.
    20
  693. The IFV (Bradleys etc) will play a vital role as well. I'd imagine they will be at the tip of the spear in scout roles and flanking any tank platoon. Has to be a ton of mines laid down though. Total hellhole.
    20
  694. WV is gone. Best case scenario is Tester and Brown find some way to hang on. FL is interesting. But, only slightly. Would be fun to give Scott the boot. Even lesser odds to eject Ted Cruz.
    20
  695. Great, you studied books for an extra 2 years and have zero work experience. Congrats!
    20
  696. He did the best with a crappy hand dealt to him. Too many idiots in Congress these days with the gerrymandering creating "safe" districts. It's horrible for the progress of our country. Until that is fixed, it's going to be partisan on steroids.
    19
  697. Not necessarily. Neither get paid well unless you are at the top and getting CF income. Look at Suzy. She was making little money via Miss A. Maybe a $250K or so from her earlier dramas, but she was making $500K+ from each of her CFs. Basically, it's a popularity contest for your brand, so you can make money via CFs. It's the same with Seolhyun now. The music or the acting is a vehicle to make money via CFs. Not how it works in Hollywood where actors will do a few "international" CFs, but very little in the US. Most of their money is via their film / TV projects.
    19
  698. Court case have proceedings. If you willfully disregard those proceedings, there are consequences. Basically, he failed to show up to the game and he forfeited. Tough luck buddy. He had lawyers advising him, but he’s fine with getting this PR vs the damages he’ll have to pay.
    19
  699.  @chipsm1542  My ex was 160cm and 47-48 kg and she looked normal. Korean bodies are naturally slim, so not much hips. She didn't diet. She only drank alcohol occasionally. :My sister for a long time was 165cm and 50-51kg.
    19
  700. That's why it's always been a Dem issue. The lack of choice will hamper the lower socioeconomic class possibly into a economic death spiral. Yes, it's the same GOP that hates giving "free" welfare handouts, but won't let a poor women choose to get an abortion. (Even though we know all the rich GOP people can.) My Dad was a teacher and told me how the cycle of poverty works when I was pretty young around middle school age.
    19
  701. Everything about this case sucks. The acts, charges, the ruling / sentence and the aftermath of his release. edit: though, the public should have tried to put some positive energy behind this and raise money for the victim and her family.
    19
  702.  @chupachups2236  Where else in the globe are hospitals and funerals...overloaded? Ukraine?
    19
  703. Never seen such tilted stats: 100K+ homes damaged, but only 100+ deaths.
    19
  704. Say your blessings every night. Being adopted at 7 is a miracle.
    19
  705. "Mr Trump, did you order the election lies?" - You want answers? "I WANT THE TRUTH!" - YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH! "Did you order the election lies?" - You're God damn right I did. - What is this? What's going on? I did my job, I'd do it again! - I'm gonna get on a plane and go on back to Mar-a-lago. "You're not going anywhere, Mr Trump."
    19
  706. The bigger issue is somehow the CIA built up their intel capabilities after the disaster 10+ years ago when all the informants were killed or jailed.
    19
  707. It's a religion (or less religious) thing as well. Both sides of my parents were raised Catholic. My Dad has 9 siblings. When my Dad was little, everyone thought his Dad (my grandfather) was his grandfather. My Mom has 6 siblings. Very few Catholics adhere to not using birth control anymore. (I was raised in the suburbs of an East Coast city. And, my parents were raised there as well. No farmers.)
    19
  708. Being hyperbolic, but I'd probably go nuts if I was homeschooled too.
    19
  709. Haha, I always thought she was a bit extreme. But yes, cooking isn’t like baking. Things don’t have to be exact.
    19
  710. Australia?
    19
  711. Here’s the deal: Landlords will ALWAYS have the advantage. They will always find the most profitable way to extract money from the tenant regardless.
    19
  712. Geez, justice delayed is justice denied.
    19
  713. It's the middle income trap. Nearly impossible to escape it for large populations. And, especially if your economy is based on manufacturing exports. Korea, Taiwan and Singapore managed to move past it. Some of the Gulf states, but that's more oil driven. I have some amateur non-market driven ideas, but I'm no economist.
    19
  714. I’d rather watch a re-run of badminton from the 1976 Olympics.
    19
  715. Devout Catholic Joe Biden is against God. Man, this is going to get worse in the next 3 months.
    19
  716. Oddly, I always think of him as a Korean version of Keanu Reeves. Not sure why though.
    19
  717. Welcome to the death / downward spiral. 10 years from now, HK people will wonder where are all the jobs / businesses are shut down. If you want to keep your standard of living, you have to shop in your local area.
    19
  718. Someone isn’t passing the info to Winnie the Pooh. I’m going to assume that someone sees the GST / VAT collection numbers and is hiding the data.
    19
  719. John Kirby is an underrated part of the admin. Has been a clear communicator throughout the past year
    19
  720. Elon: "Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed but now they are full cities again," Trump: "That's great, that's great," Elon: "It is not as scary as people think, basically,"
    19
  721. How did this dude have his own life while keeping tabs on her 24-7?
    19
  722. My cousin and I have gone to a few room salons / "adult" bars in Korea (he lives there). It's quite comical to me that room salons / adult bars operate freely, but people are worried about a fan meet with Japanese AV actresses.
    19
  723. Dunno, he didn't get less of a sentence. Dude was in jail for life already. Death penalty cases are extremely hard.
    19
  724. The one good thing about HK still. You can trust their data. Maybe not in 10 or 20 years. But, they still have enough entrenched bureaucrats that won't fake data.
    19
  725. Very honorable man. Godspeed.
    19
  726. I worked in a 7-11 as a teenager. I think I was 15-16 back then. Even though it was a pretty normal suburb, we had a panic button. And, worked in a tourist area later on. Had a panic button then too. (Basically, its a button that automatically signals the police that a robbery is taking place.)
    19
  727. Just look at the Saudis. Their swap line is a measly $7 billion (50B yuan) with CCP China. That's peanuts. Do you think the LIV tour players accept yuan as their cash prize? or the imported Soccer / Football players? And, the bigger issue is what do you do with the yuan? Invest in tofu dreg real estate? buy stocks on the SSE? or some CCP bonds that are yielding 200 bps lower than UST?
    19
  728.  @johnfranktullo3463  We spend $370B a year on veterans. We are spending money in UA, so we don't have to deploy soldiers in the future and have more issues post-deployment. Spending money is better than deploying troops to active battle zones.
    19
  729.  @el-_-grando-_-_-scabandri  Yeah, because provinces need separate passports. Genius!
    19
  730. No one is having more fun than Michael Cohen right now.
    19
  731. He’s not trying to avoid double jeopardy. He’s trying to avoid people saying, “this dude on the internet taught me all this cool stuff about robbing people and so I went out and committed a crime.” Very unlikely he would be charged, but still no one wants stupid legal trouble.
    19
  732. It's ok. The Senator is a bit ignorant on the topic. Zero chance we can find enough qualified and workers that will take a cost effective pay for a mass amount of new Fabs. Taiwan via TSMC will dominate manufacturing in Taiwan still.
    19
  733. Being able to speak fluently with the in-laws is a big bonus. I'd argue that family culture in Korea is closer to SE Asia than say US / Canada.
    19
  734. I literally smiled and laughed when I read the article about the provision.
    19
  735. umm, that's the whole point of watching / reading new things. You learn something.
    18
  736.  @DrScaryShow  My Dad and brother are veterans. Fuck off.
    18
  737. I said it as soon as the first report came out: there is definitely more. A grifter doesn't stop with trips. He's been grifting for a long time.
    18
  738. Don’t go to smaller ones in the US either. Only the bigger companies care because they are worried about liability.
    18
  739.  @AnotherPointOfView944  There are roughly 800K cops in the US. Roughly, 300K national guard. And, then you have around 18M people who are military vets (obviously some are elderly and not in fighting shape).
    18
  740.  @k.v.7681  Depending on what news article you find, we lost way more money in Iraq / Afghanistan. And I'm not even including stuff like the MRAP program that cost $45B.
    18
  741. Dude - Democrats had FDR. Obama was a straight moderate.
    18
  742. At this point, nothing is shocking about this case.
    18
  743. The songs have great energy and they add a certain vibe.
    18
  744. As a center left Dem, it's pretty simple: don't invade countries. Stand up for countries that get invaded. (And, argue about the gray areas in between.)
    18
  745. Hard to stock up on vegetables, but you have to crazy not to keep a 2+ week supply of food if you are a resident of any area in China.
    18
  746. lol, just reminded of Trump saying “States rights” and the only reason this isn’t delayed is because it’s a State trial.
    18
  747. This is more of an old school "going postal" incident. A term we used in a joking manner before mass shootings were like every other day.
    18
  748. Need proof for premeditation. Always can be upgraded later.
    18
  749. Birth control and abortion would be free if men could get pregnant.
    18
  750. Old school GOP used to want to improve things. Now, it's just attack attack attack for political points.
    18
  751. lol, the food delivery company just reported earnings. They doubled their corporate profits.
    18
  752. This isn’t like the 2000s when everyone was carrying cash around. Just plain odd. When I lived in Korea, I spent a lot of time walking around Daegu by myself past midnight. Never once made any precautions of getting robbed.
    18
  753. Previously well off girl (parents have a business) with the styled haircut is being the most accurate.
    18
  754. It's extremely hard to run a campaign and be POTUS at the same time. He just didn't have the energy to do both.
    18
  755. Actually, he was a decent environmental activist. And, then he went down the anti-vax rabbit hole.
    18
  756.  @mr.ellisholama2337  YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT. Korea is a generally a secular country. Yes, Christianity and Buddhism is practiced, but it's in the background. Islam faith is never in the background. It's always in your face and unrelenting.
    18
  757. The US did a true breakup at some point. The US did fine. There should be some rules on horizontal business interests within the same company.
    18
  758. Don't go easy on the people that do graffiti. Having clean public transportation is a positive in Asia, not negative.
    18
  759. How would you know? That's a pretty unbelievable statement to make.
    18
  760.  @freemanol  Politely, you are misinterpreting the statistic. It's not talking about % of ownership. It's saying that household wealth at the total is 70% housing. The other 30% is stocks, bonds or cash in banks.
    18
  761. Corruption. BRICS is quite a powerhouse, lol.
    18
  762. I know Lai gets a lot of attention, but the VP is someone that was made in a lab to get Pooh Bear angry. Hsiao Bi-khim (VP) was born in Japan and her Mom is Anerican. Her Dad was born in Taiwan and focused on religious studies his entire life. Was an ordained minister. Long history of working with Japan and the US. Rev. Hsiao was an ardent supporter of human rights, democracy and freedom, and a faithful participant in the ecumenical church, having first been ordained as a minister in the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan. And even her white American mother learned and spoke Taiwanese. Most recently, she was the Taiwan representative to the US.
    18
  763. The US values munitions at production cost not replacement value though. I'm pretty sure the military doesn't depreciate their assets like FASB.
    18
  764. She has that similar quality to Kim Tae-ri. Very charming, but I can't explain why.
    18
  765. People barely remember communism since it mostly ended in the ‘80s.
    18
  766. It’s funny how different economies are. My Dad taught middle school English for 30 years. He had 2 Master’s degrees. After retiring from teaching, he was an editor at a publishing company. Perfect job to take advantage of his skill set. His boss was decades younger.
    18
  767. I will re-up my prior opinion. It’s the most inefficient form of shopping. There was a reason this type of shopping was shown in the middle of the night. Just weird how society goes backwards when better methods are available.
    18
  768.  @silviehurlimann6257  The real world isn't some utopia that needs a justification. It's reality. Damn, I'm explaining it to you why it happens with a reference point and you still are dug into your corner. Do people make comments for an echo chamber or do they actually want to listen to broaden their horizons?
    18
  769. I find it quite amusing the used a low level State Dept official to release the info on ATACMS.
    18
  770. Bomi looks the same always. I've never seen anything no matter what year where she looks different.
    17
  771. That would be the chef's kiss for Trump to lose Ohio.
    17
  772. I stopped listening after he talked about herd immunity in the first sentence. People on the ground in China are talking about 2nd positive / reinfection cases and symptoms being way worse. And, killing with impunity.
    17
  773. Really nice product placement there with the foldable phone.
    17
  774. Yes, this is the concept of sunk cost in business. You have to ignore the past money you put into the business and rationally look at the numbers going forward.
    17
  775. Zero chance their retail sales were up +3% in July. They are in a massive recession right now. I doubt their exports were positive as well.
    17
  776. Another casualty of private equity. They'd still be in business if they never were bought out in 2014. Golden Gate, which bought the chain for $2.1 billion in 2014. At that time, virtually all of the real estate under Red Lobster restaurants was owned by the chain, which has no franchisees. Golden Gate, a private-equity firm, then sold the real estate for $1.6 billion to American Realty Capital Partners, which changed its name and reformed as Vereit this July. The properties were leased back to Golden Gate.
    17
  777. D E F L A T I O N
    17
  778. Yeah, he looked extremely sharp meeting with the families too.
    17
  779. lol, wasn't Gaza an Egypt territory? And, the West Bank was under control of Jordan?
    17
  780. It's an interesting fork in the road / sliding doors moment for Netflix and China (both the subjects of the video). Before China banned Korean dramas, they were fueling the growth as they were paying the largest price per episode. I believe they were paying north of $200K per episode. The Korean TV industry got hit hard. Netflix dipped their toes in and fueled the international expansion and now other western media companies (Disney, Apple, Amazon) have started producing / distributing Korean shows. US companies are easily paying 5x+ per episode now just 5 years later. Korean dramas are more popular and more diverse in style and content. Thanks CCP for trying to screw the Koreans and how it backfired. Edit: They did the same with Kpop too. That worked doubly well, lol.
    17
  781. Korea is different. Usually, any “model” will transition to acting. Normal modeling does not pay well in Korea. Model —> Acting —> back to modeling, but at higher rates due to popularity.
    17
  782. People that live in the same residence for a while have a hard time letting go of things. She has a great declutter method. Me, I’ve moved so many times, I’ve incorporated her method without knowing.
    17
  783. Have to imagine selling small ticket items is a tough business. Probably is barely covering the rent.
    17
  784. Only takes one break point for the line to collapse. These are just probing / shaping operations.
    17
  785. Never seen a more interesting Korean couple: my relatives in Korea are not like this, lol. Really feels like the dude should have been a philosopher or professor. His wife has boundless energy. The kids seem really grounded. Feels like this is when families started having less kids. They are born around 2000. And, getting flashbacks to the Jirisan drama as the rescue is called in.
    17
  786. In 'merica, we call this Friday.
    17
  787. HHAAAAAAAHHHAAHHAAAA. I literally burst out laughing reading the headline. My man Rudy is already broke. He’s infinity broke now.
    17
  788. They want you to believe the incredible and ignore the obvious. The old reverse Occam’s Razor, lol.
    17
  789. I feel bad for Taeyeon. She’s so uncomfortable in these settings.
    17
  790. You have to understand that Korea went through rapid growth from the '70s. Like the video said, fire sprinklers weren't mandatory even in 2003. These buildings got grandfathered in when new laws were passed.
    17
  791. The old days where people could smoke inside restaurants.
    17
  792. It's just math. I've been doing the calculations for a year now. Real estate has been -20% for a while now. That's 25% of their GDP. -20% = -5% hit to GDP -25% = -6.2% hit to GDP -30% = -7.5% hit to GDP Then add in less exports. Less industrial jobs. Less foreign investment. Only thing that might be up is government spending. The only "positive"...is they are starting to lap bad numbers, lol. Since GDP is a year over year number, the negative change won't be as bad. Edit: oh yeah, just as a reference point, US GDP was down -2.9% in 2009. And, everything was going down the drain.
    17
  793. Welcome to Korea where someone is protesting against / for something every day.
    17
  794. (looking at it with cold detachment) Feels like it goes a bit unnoticed since Ukraine is paying with blood, NATO countries are learning a lot of their strategic weaknesses during this war. Well worth the monetary support we are giving Ukraine.
    17
  795.  @HowToChangeName  lol, those workers weren't "governors". They were low level grunt workers.
    17
  796. The Dems are the silent majority in CA. I have missed many elections since I’m in Pelosi’s district.
    17
  797. The crappy yellow dust comes over from China to Korea. People want to wear masks. Masks are way more accepted in Asia.
    17
  798.  @jswmonkey197  Agree they only show the good stuff, but even the misses are demoralizing for the Russians. Frontline Russians never get a second to relax.
    17
  799. This is why countries don't want their populations to fall / go flat. Foreign workers help mostly on the labor side. More of a blunted positive impact on consumption.
    17
  800. Going to a small / medium sized company is usually best for longevity. You end up doing more, but much hard to replace since jobs don't overlap.
    17
  801. 4:15 Doesn't matter if you have sight or blind, it's impossible to find the start of packing tape unless you fold it under after last use.
    17
  802. Celebrities in Korea aren't paid as well as you think. Obviously, they make more than the average person, but the chaebol families is where the wealth is concentrated. In the US, the wealth while concentrated, it's much more diverse.
    17
  803. Will be the cherry on top of a long political career if Harris is elected.
    17
  804. Heck no. Glad she did. Realistically, she’s a no name Governor from one of the smallest states. She had to try to get national coverage. And, well. She kinda accomplished that.
    17
  805.  @onebridge7231  lol, taxing land has been around for centuries. The ancient Romans had two classes of taxes: the tributa and the vectigalia. Tributa included the tributum soli (a land tax) and the tributum capitis (a poll tax).
    17
  806. My first job out of school and half of my co-workers were female. Got recruited to another company 1 year later and the percentage jumped to more than half. Probably closer to 60-70% of my co-workers that I interacted with. Really changes how you approach things and you learn more skill than brute force. This probably happens to maybe 10%? maybe 5% of males. (This was the apparel fashion industry.)
    17
  807. Dude - huh? You literally contradicted yourself 1 sentence later. Obviously, you are taking a side.
    17
  808. They are the hard right. And, the ones always causing trouble in the illegal settlements.
    17
  809. It was always so clear cut to me when everyone is quoting that real estate was 25% of GDP and 70% of household wealth. When new home sales started to downtrend by over -20%, I was like whoa. Then, it slid like that for 2 solid years (with a reopening bump).
    17
  810.  @christopher6172  Dude - that was the start of the multi-year mess. Started the new year with that Iran mess. China started getting covid. Things started to get wonky. And, we all know what happened afterwards.
    17
  811. Bada's type of energy is what makes a show like this entertaining. Never a dull moment.
    17
  812. Exploitation / leverage of labor is terrible for a country in the long term. Always felt ABNB is a more sustainable model than UBER because it's leveraging an asset / capital rather than labor.
    17
  813. The reality is certain industry sectors are screwed until this is over. Travel, restaurants, bars / clubs.
    17
  814. She's based out of HK. She's not allowed to speak freely about the CCP economy. It's against national security laws. She is the Chief Economist for Asia Pacific at French investment bank Natixis, based in Hong Kong and is an independent Board Member of AGEAS insurance group.
    17
  815. lol, we are 70% a service economy. Do you know what that means?
    16
  816. Saudis buying from the US was always about a defense shield. There was an implicit agreement that the US would come to the Saudis aid if someone (Iran) attacked them. Pooh Bear and the PLA will not make the same agreement even if they could expand their naval / air fleet that far.
    16
  817. Other than the native Americans, the use of the word genocide is incorrect. And yeah, South Korea is totally screwed up now. Oops, it’s the 12th largest GDP vs the hermit nation of its northern borders. And, the north attacked the south.
    16
  818. I’m holding back judgement. Hopefully, they’ll find ways to perform a few verbal judo moves. And, have a few lines just to provoke him. I honestly have no clue how she’ll do since she’s had pretty limited experience in debates.
    16
  819. Not exactly. Hollywood females are extremely thin.
    16
  820.  @McDago100  Lots of people fail out of BUDS due to injuries. My brother passed on the first time, but a few of his buddies had go through again due to injuries. (Hell Week is near the beginning of the training.) If you read the details, it's pretty bad. Dude pushed through Hell Week, but died afterwards. Fifty-eight members of Mullen's class of SEAL candidates started Hell Week — just 21 finished. By Thursday of Hell Week, Mullen was in what one of his classmates called "full messed up mode," coughing up dark fluid but unwilling to seek medical attention for fear he would be dropped from the course. Twice in the closing hours of Hell Week he was pulled from training and administered oxygen. Once he had to ride from one location to another in an ambulance. After he completed Hell Week, Mullen and the other trainees were given physical exams and sent to their barracks to recover. Mullen was pronounced "fit to train" even though he had to be transported to the barracks in a wheelchair. There were no medical personnel on hand in the barracks to keep Mullen or any of his classmates under observation. When he and three others started experiencing increased difficulty breathing, other sailors called the medical clinic and were told they could call 911 but they might end up being washed out of the course. By the time someone finally called 911, it was too late to save Mullen.
    16
  821. Agnostic here. Although there are a few prominent religious people that think science and religion are compatible, they aren't. Science is about proving things through a process. Religion is about ignoring the facts and just having "faith" which is not a process. (note: I am not an expert or even novice in most religions.)
    16
  822. That’s my biggest nightmare: drunk dialing the police and confessing my murders that I got away with.
    16
  823. lol, his inner circle is feeding him bad data.
    16
  824. Saw the FT article a few weeks ago. My conclusion is: becomes much harder to release detailed data points when your fake numbers are getting stupid. Smart people can find holes pretty quick. Edit: horrible grammar
    16
  825. lol, no. He lied to police that there was no shooting and he was asleep at first. In court, he said it was an accident and he tripped.
    16
  826. The bad news is the Russian will get some NCOs and officers since they are drafting reserves. The good news is these reserves don't have tanks and artillery shells in their closet to bring with them.
    16
  827. Did you watch the video? No harbors or waterways. No real transportation network and ways to transport goods effectively. Half of the country has a fly that kills livestock. Just because life expectancy has improved doesn't change the fundamentals.
    16
  828. Yeap, we need more dumb criminals who are serving time on lesser charges to implicate themselves on more serious charges. Well done sir.
    16
  829. I wonder what the Empress would have done if she didn't marry into the Royal family. She was highly educated: high school in the USA + Harvard BA in Economics. Some law school and Oxford post-BA. Speaks both French and English. I'd imagine she would have continued her career as a diplomat / foreign affairs.
    16
  830. Because they are taught that the Japanese are the enemy.
    16
  831. It works in SE Asia, but it's a process that has been handed down for many many generations. Not some weird cut and paste strategy.
    16
  832. Ukraine gets pretty cold in the Winter. Operation needed to happen now since maneuvers will become way more difficult in late Oct / Nov.
    16
  833. Our outside counsel always gave us horror stories on people convicted for insider trading (USA). People would make relatively small profits. They had to pay back the money + a fine + jail time. It's never worth it. If I sold shares before material non-public information was released, I made sure it was good news. Or, I'd wait until afterwards.
    16
  834. Basically after the civil rights movement, parties started to re-align. Then, add in Goldwater. Zero chance that Eisenhower is a republican today.
    16
  835. There were cops on the street, but more focused on petty crimes and drugs. Likely, some of them radio'd in and said the crowd was way too big. Korea's hierarchical system likely failed and someone didn't listen the incoming reports. Also, Itaewon has to have a ton of CCTV live cameras. Someone was watching this real time.
    16
  836. This guy has no imagination as a former FBI agent and screenwriter. Chris Wray has been hyper conservative. The dude didn’t go off the deep end for a fishing expedition. It’s obvious there are top secret and possibly code word documents missing.
    16
  837. Flat Earth dude knows where he comes from.
    16
  838. Guess it’s always been like this. Now, it’s just more exposed.
    16
  839. Just another day in America.
    16
  840. The "problem" Trump is having is that... Walz doesn't look like a radical liberal. He doesn't sound like a radical liberal. They are using old taglines, but it's not going to stick because it doesn't match up to his image. It's like calling George Clooney an ugly fat liberal. People are like, "wait, huh?".
    16
  841. These acolytes of Jones fail to realize how structured courts and trials are. And, how lawyers have to specialize in trials to understand all the rules / procedures.
    16
  842. We all have big TVs at home. Still isn't the same for certain type of movies.
    16
  843. “Borrowing” your data...so they can sell ads. But before google, the search browsers sucked. And before search browsers, you had big heavy books like dictionaries, encyclopedias, phone books etc.
    16
  844. Lol, anything except asking SK.
    16
  845. Yeah, I used to drink and drive pretty well. Then, I realized it was dangerous and stupid.
    16
  846. When your kid is about to die, I don't think parents care if the doctor is gay or straight. Terrible loss.
    16
  847. THIS IS NOT A CRIMINAL TRIAL. Get your terminology straight.
    16
  848. The weird part is Korea doesn't have that much crime. They have a zillion traffic ticket cameras. Just seems like the resources aren't allocated improperly.
    16
  849. Never understood the deal with bronze and fake bronze bowls in some Korean restaurants. Now, I know. Also, I’m assuming that the cheap pots are replicas that the masses adopted?
    16
  850. How are they bonded? Seems like a flight risk.
    16
  851. Dude - we give Egypt a ton of money as well. Jordan gets money. We used to fund Pakistan. It's the price you pay as the world's last superpower. And, get your facts straight and then distort them at your leisure. Economic and military aid was around $3.3B. IDF budget was $23.4B. That's 14%. (2022 data).
    16
  852. Do you notice they don’t drink water with their meals? First time I visited relatives in Korea, I was dying of thirst while eating, but was being over polite and didn’t want to ask for water.
    16
  853. Did we time warp to 1930s?
    16
  854. Will be funny if the judge gives him community service and he has to pick up trash from the highways.
    16
  855. lol, Asian-Americans aren't a monolith.
    16
  856.  @Un1234l  Not the US. Only 40% of the "younger" population has a BA or higher. In 2021, about 41 percent of the United States population aged 25 to 34 years had attained a bachelor's degree or higher.
    16
  857. Popehat was a lawyer that was on Twitter and quit the platform. People were always asking him questions if it was RICO on prior instances / other cases. Finally, it's a RICO case.
    16
  858. All Chinese companies have obligations to the CCP and thus the PLA. It’s written into their national security law.
    16
  859. The problem is they were treating "real estate" like a quasi-hard asset rather than a real asset. In the US, you can model out cash flow on how much rental income you can generate from the property. The price has to be in the ballpark to get someone to buy a property. A hard asset is just the greater fool theory. Hopefully, people will keep thinking it has "magic" value, but it has very little intrinsic value.
    16
  860. Couldn’t finish it. Just makes me angry.
    16
  861.  @solaris5922  It's 19. It's very atypical. Usually, they have to leave after high school and the government gives them a small amount of money to start out.
    16
  862. Who would have known that Hisense, a home appliance company, may struggle if people stop buying real estate / condos? Such a hard thing to figure out these darn markets (sarcasm).
    16
  863. The GOP speaker actually sounded sane during his soliloquy. He was parroting...my position.
    16
  864. The eye of the hurricane is the calmest area. Sometimes you can't realize it when you are involved.
    16
  865. Feel bad for the citizens of these states, but it definitely helps out in the '24 election.
    16
  866. After graduating college, it took me 4+ months to find a job. A few weeks or months isn't that long. (But, it was easy to get temp work at 3x the minimum wage until I found a position that was a decent fit.)
    16
  867.  @NotUnymous  There is an english (American) idiom: Potato or Po-tah-to that applies here. Makes no difference is if the aid is direct or indirect. As long as it gets there. If Korea sells 155mm shells to the US and then US gives 155mm shells from its stock to Ukraine, its the same thing. Likewise, if Poland is buying the K9 howitzer from Korea and then donating the Krab howitzer to Ukraine, its accomplishing the same thing.
    16
  868. Pollster did an interview on a different channel. The interview was interesting, but the comments on the video were very telling (anecdotally of course). All these senior women were at least 13 years old when Roe was enacted and they are very angry it got struck down.
    16
  869. HK is done. Taiwan is worth saving.
    16
  870. Dude - I went to college and took Korean for 1 year. Later, I had multiple private tutors. And my Korean still sucks and wouldn't make it on my own without help in Korea. And places in Korea don't hire anyone off the street for English teachers.
    15
  871. Total death spiral. Cut back on government spending. People have less money to spend. Governments collect even less taxes. Edit: our 2009 stimulus package was 6-7% of GDP. And, we started ugh, QE. That barely worked.
    15
  872. Black females are the most underrated wing of the Democratic party.
    15
  873. The bigger issue is GPS jamming on current weapons systems. US better get their butts in gear and develop some alternatives (for Taiwan).
    15
  874. It's funny. Richard Koo just did a Bloomberg podcast and quoted the numbers: West is 57% of Global GDP. Non-west countries: India, Africa, Russia, South America are 25% of GDP and have a per capita GDP of 13K USD. China is 18% of GDP and has the same per capita GDP of 13K USD. lol, definitely a terrible trade off.
    15
  875. They don't care.
    15
  876. The reality is even if she got acting roles, she wasn’t going to get CFs anymore. Her outlook was pretty bleak for the short term.
    15
  877. It sounds like she is Hawaii based which is a whole different wrinkle. Hawaii is probably the least "classic" American than any other State. I moved to Hawaii from the East Coast for college. Everyone thought I was a foreigner.
    15
  878. Shouldn't drones be perfect for the tunnel situation ie send the drones first and have the soldiers trail?
    15
  879. I regret not going to Fukuoka when I lived in Korea. It's one of the closest points between the 2 countries and has ferry service.
    15
  880. I hooked up with 3 of my ex’s after we broke up. Avoiding violent people in general might be better advice.
    15
  881. If 1% of China's population is wealthy, that's 1.4M people.
    15
  882.  @coffeesweet1  It's annoying that people can't be reasonable. Sounds like the original contract was set for 7.5% of the profits. And, she wanted to change the contract to 33% of the profits. Man, have some middle ground and settle for 15-20% and be happy.
    15
  883. I'm just so old school. Nothing excites me about a tattoo.
    15
  884. Same thing happened with OJ and Nicole Brown.
    15
  885. Many states have laws that bail must be offered unless it's a capital crime. TN seems to be one of them. Amusingly, it's because many of these states were worried about government overreach and individual rights of citizens. The amendment to the law would remove the right to bail for certain offenses like acts of terrorism, second degree murder, aggravated rape of a child and more. It would also require those who commit those crimes to serve more of their sentence if convicted.
    15
  886. Total madness. No license, registration or insurance.
    15
  887. 3:17 I'd rather stay at home. And, just go to empty local bar and get drunk since people are traveling. Going into a crowd like this would be torture.
    15
  888. I'm still waiting on Trump's infrastructure bill. And, what happened to his China Deal phase 2? lol, and no health care plan from Trump.
    15
  889. It's the other way around. Dramas take themes from real life.
    15
  890. She's staking her "half" claim on the assets via divorce. Obviously, he's going to be sued civilly by the victims' family. My guess it will be negotiated to a way lesser amount.
    15
  891. Generally served a purpose in the past. Now, it’s just about saving face. No one is believing it, so it’s not helping to attract foreign investment.
    15
  892. Americans like to drive cars.
    15
  893. Needs to be in the millions to make a difference.
    15
  894.  @LittlebigG  JFC. What kind of conspiracy BS are you talking about? Look, there is a reason why all this stuff doesn't cost money. There is some trade off. oh boy, I hope you aren't a millennial.
    15
  895. Reading between the lines and people’s expression is more important than the words.
    15
  896. Donnie thought he was getting Ivanka, but he ended up with Tiffany.
    15
  897. Let’s be honest. He was pretty quiet even when he was officially running.
    15
  898. It's banned in China too.

  899. Former FBI dude proposes taking pictures of the files with an x-ray camera since the files were stored in a box.

  900. lol, Japan is dying off and won’t survive without foreigners. They have to find a way to integrate foreigners into their society. With that said, I don’t agree with the vote part.
    15
  901. Hated my macro Econ classes because it was so theoretical and hard to understand in real terms. Micro Econ was much more tangible and relatable. But, oh boy. CCP China is making it extremely tangible now.
    15
  902. 2+ years in Sweden.
    15
  903. Reminds me of the Conan segment with Secret Santa. As he was talking about not usually participating, “I give the gift of employment”.
    15
  904. lol, did you watch the video? It was a Chinese made battery that got recalled in China.
    15
  905. UA will never give up if we keep supplying them. Basically, it comes down to the will and resilience of the citizens of NATO countries vs Putin looking for an exit door. If Putin gets an inch, it sends a terrible message to CCP China and their invasion plans for Taiwan.
    15
  906. US? Try looking at the DR. Way better over there.
    15
  907. Longtime moderate Dem, but a lot of my viewpoints align really close to Tim’s. This is how politics used to be.
    15
  908. Need to bring back the death penalty for espionage. They are endangering lives of other military personnel.
    15
  909. Eat bitterness and enjoy.
    15
  910. Nothing is more amusing than American bashing...on a site created in America by Americans / American immigrants and still run by an American company.
    15
  911. The low birth rate is obviously a concern, but its less of a concern than it used to be. The advance of technology has drastically reduced the need for labor.
    15
  912. Medical examiners can tell if its pre or post-mortem. Has something to do with blood circulation after you die. If they are saying torture, they must have "some" specifics and not some grab marks by shaking.
    14
  913. lol, FBI arresting everyone.
    14
  914. Fairly or unfairly, I've had a negative opinion about Chinese people after living in SF. Not the ABCs since a few of my friends are Chinese. And, then you'd hear the stories of the Chinese tourists. Pushed HK down the list. And, now it's eliminated. No chance I'd ever step foot in CCP China or HK now.
    14
  915. This is why I hate when people babble about corruption in Ukraine. All fledging countries have corruption. It takes decades to root out, but with transparency, democracy and time, things slowly get better. I see a lot of similarities between South Korea and Ukraine. Tough hard people that have a history of being repressed and conquered.
    14
  916. First saw her in The Heirs. (Don’t overreact to this comment) The first thing I noticed was she was not skinny for a Korean actress. Was like she must be a good actress if they aren’t forcing her to lose weight.
    14
  917. I followed a dude that likes to cover US commercial real estate. He'd just randomly tweet out random mall properties. The US lower tier malls were struggling even before the pandemic. They were selling / foreclosed for rock bottom prices back in 2018-19. This trend was going to happen with or without the pandemic. The pandemic just sped up shopping patterns. The mixed used developments seem like a way better use of real estate. Asia does a lot of these already. This mall isn't one of them. Instead of the Little Pinks prank calling Japan about seawater, real nationalism would be to start a campaign about supporting local small businesses and not shop online at the big internet companies.
    14
  918. The US and most western nations never had an oversupply problem. China is way oversupplied. Oh yeah, Tier 2 cities in China have a 20-30 to 1 price to income ratio. NYC is 10-1.
    14
  919. Obviously the required funding is way more than 900 million won. That's peanuts.
    14
  920. That's not a bug, but a feature. Having checks and balances is essential.
    14
  921. After watching these, I thought back to my teen years. It seems like a lot of my friends parents had kids later + many of us happened to be the youngest. My one friend’s Mom was probably in her late 30s when we were in middle school and she was the youngest. Not sure what I would have done if a friends Mom would have offered to get me off at that age.
    14
  922. Feels like there should be some quid pro quo in the sectors that are short on doctors. Some type discounted medical school for a future requirement of staying in the field for 10 years. Or something like that.
    14
  923. Just round 1. Smartmatic is suing for over 2 billion.
    14
  924. I think the range is...a bit wider. Likely, more a standard distribution curve with extreme good and extreme bad cases as the tail.
    14
  925. Funny story: worked at Gap headquarters near its peak in the department that had logo wear. The CEO was horrified to see people wearing the Gap logo and getting arrested on shows like Cops and pared back the business.
    14
  926. I stopped watching / listening to all politics after the Biden debate. Had to block it all out knowing the potential consequences.
    14
  927. Not scientifically accurate. Your body will immediately adapt. Mentally, people have a difficult time.
    14
  928. Compared to the other ingredients, its not a lot. I'd say, its less than 20% of the ingredients (maybe less than 15%). You will barely taste the tomatoes in a bolognese even with that can.
    14
  929. When something sounds too good to be true, it's usually too good to be true.
    14
  930. Bike rider had guts. Didn’t immediately high tail it out if there.
    14
  931.  @anyaistired7060  Politely, kids can learn things much easier than adults. It's how the human brain works. When you get older, people start leaning toward their genetics. Many left brain people have extreme difficulties learning languages. I'm one of them. I'm great in math, but horrible in arts and languages.
    14
  932. Honestly, this makes me a bit sad. They seemed to have a really close relationship. Me, I'd rather make slightly less in margin and keep a long term relationship like that.
    14
  933. I'm going to assume they did / are doing toxicology and sexual assault / rape testing.
    14
  934. Read between the lines. The dude quit at 43. Obviously, something else was going on.
    14
  935.  @ericjson  I'll disagree. The real reason that adoptions have gone down is the increase of orphanages and government assistance over the years. Additionally, the government has placed severe restrictions on foreign adoptions. Age restrictions, age difference restrictions, weight restrictions, income restrictions. It's a very extensive list.
    14
  936.  @bradleyhider4335  My relatives live in Incheon and I lived in Daegu. I've walked around by myself in the middle of night out of boredom and other times have been pass out drunk walking the streets with my relatives. Never for a second did I ever feel any danger. (For females, it's probably a bit more worrisome.)
    14
  937. Inflation is bad. Deflation is worse. And then, you have the absolute worst: inflation on necessities and deflation on discretionary goods / services. Congrats CCP!
    14
  938. US housing price drop max’d out at -19%. But, the oversupply of 2.5M homes rapidly went to under supply by 2010-11. CCP China has years and years of oversupply.
    14
  939. My gut says polls have been wrong for the past 2 years when the election results came out (midterms / special elections), but that's why I like listening to the Bulwark. Keeps me grounded.
    14
  940. Everyone has a backstory. People should have a bit of empathy.
    14
  941. If you want to steal land or breakaway (depending on which side you are on), you might not want to do it in a landlocked area where your supplies can be cut off.
    14
  942. There were no obscure topics like calculate the mass of the nearest black hole or what was the name of the glacier that separated from Greenland. They are acting like it was a game of Trivial Pursuit.
    14
  943. lol, the dude won 2 gold medals.
    14
  944. Exact opposite is needed. The so called “drug war” has never worked. Legalize and decriminalize.
    14
  945. lol, divorce is being used as an excuse?
    14
  946. The San Diego plant was nuts. Was directly on a fault line.
    14
  947. Dunno, feels like the Medal of Honor is a bigger deal. Every medal recipient made the choice to sacrifice their life to protect and help their buddies next to them. Some made it out ok, many didn't.
    14
  948.  @MusicLeeSarah  Huh? Did you watch the video? He was jailed and sentenced for fraud: 40 years. Pretty close to the end of his life. That's when they offered the deal. The families are typically consulted in these cases. Not many families wants to go through a long trial. And, multiple appeals for 15-20 years. And, it's important for some families to find the body.
    14
  949. The CFs is where the real money is earned. She's probably making $2.5+ million off those CFs.
    14
  950. HK can barely launder the CCP cash these days. And, a lot of global corporations have re-located to Singapore.
    14
  951. If CNN was smart, they should hire her in a second.
    14
  952. @squibbelsmcjohnson Wait, so you love her work on Vice. But, will hate it on CNN. Wait, what are you trying to say? She's going to work for Tucker / Elon Musk or RT? People are brain dead.
    14
  953. lol, MBS is trying to horsetrade. It’s all about getting security guarantees from the US.
    14
  954. Germany and US need to step up and send long range missiles. Any deep attack will need long range support.
    14
  955. Not to gossip, but he’s got this weird “father-son” relationship with...his ex-girlfriend’s younger brother. It’s bizarre.
    14
  956. He’s a better domestic policy guy. State is more about back room deals and negotiations.
    14
  957.  @squarehammer4619  Americans have the memory length of a mayfly insect. Plus, things have been so normalized over time with him. Almost like school shootings. Used to be a shock. Now, it's just part of life. Americans have a weird way of adapting to things instead of changing the problem.
    14
  958. Naw, no one in China wants their kids to play sports because they have to study. That’s how team sports develop. Years and years of little league, travel league, etc. Individual sports are easier because they can select a large number of individuals and put them through punishing repetition. Fits perfect into their methodology.
    14
  959. ROK is one of the most homogeneous countries on Earth.
    14
  960. Hope Hicks was not tested before going on AF1. She would have been positive.
    14
  961. Wait, what? WMD? It's the complete opposite. It's a extremely narrow targeted attack.
    14
  962. Fun fact: Generally, US stocks go up on average volume days and go down on high volume days.
    14
  963. Twice will end up selling more albums, but SNSD girls will end up still being bigger stars. I'm glad the SNSD girls were able to branch out and do other things. Much better for their career longevity. I'm kinda surprised none of the Twice girls have done anything outside of the group.
    13
  964. It’s obvious that he setup a fake company. Someone “gave” him money. He “donated” it to his campaign. If that’s not against campaign finance laws, I don’t what is: skirting legal limits.
    13
  965. It’s going to get worse. Military recruitment is way down.
    13
  966. Korean police is very unserious. They don't have a dedicated cyber team? And, had to contract out the work?
    13
  967. Wasn't just those 2 jurors. She was found not guilty. It wasn't a mistrial.
    13
  968. I hope the DNC gets double the ratings of the RNC. That will set Donnie off.
    13
  969. We should always have empathy for people that died. Also, we should be objective about the cause of someone's death. Feel bad for her, but she also made a very poor decision that caused her own death.
    13
  970. I’m 99.9% that Alex Jones got the vaccine.
    13
  971. It's the same thing American workers did 20+ years ago. They trained their Chinese replacements.
    13
  972. I used to give my parents 5% of my monthly pay. Then, I paid rest of their debt before they retired.
    13
  973. Maybe you should stay quiet and not comment on Korean affairs and what Korean people should say or do. The majority of non-Koreans are ignorant on how Korean people think.
    13
  974. Only the B-1Bs were sent. Those planes are ancient and will be retired over the next 10 years. Sending the B-2 Spirit would have been aggressive. (it's very likely someone thought about this and made the plane decision with this in mind.)
    13
  975. lol, what a joke. Sedition is an extremely serious charge. In other countries, it's an extremely long sentence.
    13
  976. HK is probably the best model. Maybe they'll get lucky and the strain weakened, but 55K deaths per day at the peak. Also, China is a big country. Not all cities will get hit simultaneously.
    13
  977.  @mariii0007  All the groups now days seem to be based more off looks than singing talent. Twice members are all cute vs 2010-11 SNSD. I'm not saying SNSD members are ugly, they just weren't chosen for their looks.
    13
  978. Special Ops are much easier to execute than a full blown war.
    13
  979.  @andreypersikov6214  In October 2020, the U.S. State Department approved the sale of 64 M57 ATACMS to Taiwan.
    13
  980. It's because you grew up in America which is essentially a "white" culture. As I've gotten older, I'm much more comfortable being Korean and my tastes are split 50-50.
    13
  981. That’s just the Japanese style of reserve-ness. Japanese people don’t wear their emotions on their sleeves like Americans.
    13
  982. 120 employees is tiny for an apparel company. Really have no idea how they can even function. IMO, it would seem they are trying to leverage some of the office functions with Vans.
    13
  983. It's not cool to "hide" or not let people know ahead of time.
    13
  984. People are just not civil any more. She could have politely said, signs aren’t allowed in the yard.
    13
  985. They are some in the Senate. House GOP is a bunch of wackos.
    13
  986. DUDE! DUDE! THIS IS LITERALLY A NEWSPAPER. IT'S THE WALL STREET JOURNAL. What is wrong with people?
    13
  987. There is a picture of the documents. That’s the money shot.
    13
  988. Man, the new generation is so lazy. The video's intent wasn't to scrub through the fraud in detail. It was a more general video about the fraud and the potential impact to Vietnam's business environment. You literally could spend 5 seconds and find a detailed article about the fraud. I read one many months ago.
    13
  989. It's funny that the video can have "ma-ss shoot-ing", but I can't write it in the comment section. AI censors are dumb.
    13
  990. Not anymore. Everything is consolidated into a few companies. And, we started to wind down operations from 2 long wars. Even in the 2021-22 budget, the US was halving 155mm shell quantities.
    13
  991. Patience. Troops need to be trained in groups on new equipment. The US has a good amount of Bradleys in storage.
    13
  992.  @danl5592  BRICS is not an alliance. You really think India and China are on the same side militarily?
    13
  993. I've seen enough of the cop interview breakdowns. A reasonable innocent person would be leaning in on the conversation and just answering the questions normally. That dude was subconsciously trying to put more space away from him and the cops.
    13
  994.  @HowToChangeName  The video is about low level workers working in subpar conditions on "irregular" visas.
    13
  995. I know pre-mediation likely carries a different charge, but come on. The dude pushed her and then stoned her. AND, he tried to cover it up. Premeditated or not, it should get the highest penalty.
    13
  996.  @Thichaou  Exactly, you play by the rules of the home country. Did someone put a gun to Bytedance's head to do business in the US?
    13
  997. Gotta stop saying once in 100 or 200 years. This is the new norm.
    13
  998. lol, no way is it only $1.8M USD laundered.
    13
  999.  @Scho-penhauer  They are on ROK sovereign territory. They aren't trying to convince the Korean public, but to get camera time. Korea is a liberal democracy. Makes sense that value sets are aligned. Regardless, KOREA ISN'T ALIGNED. They have 2 main parties and a bunch of smaller parties. And, geeez - you are being critical about a country's citizens who care more about their domestic issues than foreign ones? That's weird.
    13
  1000. Just repetitions. Once you get the drop angle (and if there is no wind), it's basically just a straight drop. These drones are basically hovering in place. Almost made for this type of action. The plane type drones accuracy is much worse since you have to factor in speed of the drone.
    13
  1001. lol, they should have just patiently waited for the piano and filmed at a different time. - wanted to film piano for some propaganda or commercial video - tried to expediate the process by interacting with him - got into a confusing image rights conversation - went over the top and tried to intimidate
    13
  1002. I don’t believe microchips have transistors because I can’t see them.
    13
  1003.  @jj-ou5gh  Samsung (Korea) was smart and moved nearly a decade ago.
    13
  1004. Yo Korea, what is going on with these juveniles? Need to change the laws ASAP since they are abusing the loophole.
    13
  1005. Sounds a bit like OCD issues if the dude is eating the same food every single day.
    13
  1006. This is the absolute worst thing he has said. Worse than the John McCain POW comment.
    13
  1007. Land is way cheaper on the East Coast (at least in Baltimore) vs LA or San Diego.
    13
  1008. Lots of Americans are like this. I’m Korean, but my Korean is terrible. I speak a mix of broken Korean and English when I visit my relatives in Korea.
    13
  1009. lol, are there invisible jobs just sitting in rural areas that aren’t being filled? Edit: grammar
    13
  1010. Someone should do the back story on Li Ka-shing's early exit from the Chinese market. Guy saw the writing on the wall.
    13
  1011. Kwon Mina did well with her role. Seems like its close to her personality: definitely sensitive and cries a bit easy.
    13
  1012. Took me 4-5 months to find my first job out of college. Submitted a ton of resumes. Went to a few job fairs. But, the biggest difference was it was pretty easy to find temp work via an agency. The temp pay was around 75% of my the permanent job that I accepted. Was able to juggle going on interviews and working on temp assignments. It was terribly boring office work though. Thought I was going to die. Mostly accounts payable / receivable stuff. Working at the banquet office of a Hotel was way more interesting, but a totally dead end job.
    13
  1013. I think Fleet Week is the closest thing to a military parade in the US. Nothing like airplanes buzzing by office buildings to break up your day.
    13
  1014. This started in China about 1 month ago.
    13
  1015. So unhealthy. When I lived in Korea, I would eat bibimbap everyday because it’s 50% vegetables. And it was cheap (only $4) and fast.
    13
  1016.  @taipizzalord4463  lol, you've never heard of tofu dreg construction. And, dude. Concrete needs time to cure. Building fast...ain't a good thing.
    13
  1017. There is no silver bullet for dementia, but they recommend to keep the brain active. My Dad would memorize / recite poetry on his walks for exercise.
    13
  1018. Lazy? Obviously, they underestimated Israel’s rules of engagement. Thought the city / human shields would protect them.
    13
  1019. The measuring thing is universal. My parents kept our pencil marks even though the doorways were painted over.
    13
  1020. While it may or may not be the cause of death, it's a real issue in Korea. Homicides are extremely low. Not Japan low, but near the bottom. But, when you add homicides + self-deaths, it's an astronomical number. In the US, people self-medicate using drugs and overdoses are astronomical. In the end, it evens out about the same. I'll concede that self-deaths cause less direct harm to others. The Choi Jin-sil is the incident that opened my eyes and was like, "what the heck is happening?".
    13
  1021. If you want to understand Pooh Bear, just remember: the guy basically has a middle school education. Dude went to the rural area at high school age and stayed there until he was 24. Then, he got a backdoor admission to college. And, this is the reason he's clueless about economics. All of his policies are a disaster.
    13
  1022. Just a reminder: Pooh Bear is a middle school boy playing Sim City. Literally, the dude only has a middle school education since he was sent to the rural area during high school and didn't get a backdoor admission to college until he was 23.
    13
  1023.  Blue on blue  As an ethnic Korean that grew up in the states, that's a bit of a myopic position. The US spent $400B and 40K lives to defend Korea. The US got a few military bases out of it. Not even criticizing Korea's position, but sometimes decisions are made for the good of the cause.
    13
  1024. There is standard victims compensation. There is no evidence of anything to prove or disprove force majeure. These people want a sum of money that is way above normal compensation without evidence.
    13
  1025.  @emperorsadrax7242  You must be really young. Before it made in China, it was made in Hong Kong or Korea. They ain't large populations. Korea did have a decent industrial base though.
    13
  1026. 1- Korea's crime rate is extremely low 2- You are watching videos of a news channel that shows the most sensational stories 3- "might" be other causes, but who knows
    13
  1027. Actually, it’s a trade off. Cheaper land = better house. In a good neighborhood in Seoul, that house is over $10M.
    13
  1028. Ouida = getting information from conspiracy websites, lol. We spend as much on military as the next 12 nations combined.
    12
  1029. Social media and internet stuff allows companies to promote without going on TV as much. Old school marketing was TV shows and radio appearances.
    12
  1030. Well, Turkey did help the rebels.
    12
  1031. The butler had to make an emergency run to the store for extra Depends for Donnie.
    12
  1032. A couple of things: The term "nm" stands for nanometer, a tiny measurement that is one-billionth of a meter. It's tiny, and there was a time when process nodes were truly measured in actual nanometers. It usually defined the size of a transistor's gate length and metal half-pitch (half the distance between the beginning of one metal interconnect and the next on a chip), which were both the same size. That reality stopped in the 90s, however, and ever since then, the 'nm' measurement has been nothing more than a marketing term. Also... IBM crams 30 billion switches onto a chip the size of a fingernail. Using nanosheets, IBM has created transistors for a 5nm chip
    12
  1033. In Asia, they use spit guards because when people talk, you are basically spitting on food, lol. In the US, we are like whatever.
    12
  1034. JFC. Is there anything that China doesn't steal at this point?
    12
  1035. LA property is expensive, but that ain't a 10M crib.
    12
  1036. Also, there are shareholder lawsuits and former employee lawsuits.
    12
  1037. Hurry up! When something is covered by insurance, everyone else is paying for the cost. It's definitely not "free". (half joking / half serious)
    12
  1038. The "what about" coming in full force.
    12
  1039.  @k.v.7681  You really think they are selling 155mm shells on the open market? or a Brad is going to end up in some African warlords hands?
    12
  1040. The US military saves everything. They'll are still capable munitions even after the PrSM comes online. My guess is they' go to Taiwan when the PrSM stocks get to a military capable level.
    12
  1041. Coming soon: Gerald Bulter in the new sequel…Moscow has Fallen.
    12
  1042. lol, who needs enemies when you have friends like Russia?
    12
  1043. Directors / screenwriters must love Lee Se-young. Never seen anyone get as much work as she does.
    12
  1044. If we ever get driverless cars, people are going to drink way more (if that's possible).
    12
  1045. It's always projection with them.
    12
  1046. Person…woman, man, camera…TV.
    12
  1047. 25% internet tax. Commercial real estate is way more important to the economy than couriers and small distribution centers.
    12
  1048. lol, it's like they did zero vetting and / or opposition research on the dude.
    12
  1049.  @greedyreader15  The "sins" of a family member are extended to the other members of the family.
    12
  1050. Taeyeon stopped posting videos, but hers was interesting. Not commercialized and just random stuff. IMO, the more produced the videos become, the less interesting they are.
    12
  1051. If he had a gun, the body count would be many times higher.
    12
  1052. The ones in Korea are close to fine dining. Totally different market segmentation.
    12
  1053. umm, the B-21 Raider is still in development. It just went on its first test flight.
    12
  1054.  @gwenmloveskpopandmore  The number is over 200K adopted overseas. Even if 20% have bad experiences, that's 40K people. That's a big number. My guess is that its less. I don't mean bad experience as culturally difficult, but getting adopted into a bad family. I've probably met / chatted online with 40-50 KADs in my life. Only a handful had bad experiences.
    12
  1055. So, basically you were making minimum wage. Min wage jobs aren't supposed to be long term jobs. Yes, it's terrible for people that get stuck in those jobs. Waiting tables / bartending are the best type of jobs to make decent money without having any technical skills. When I was making minimum wage, lunch and transportation would take nearly 2 hours of my work day.

  1056. Wagner is not the lesser one. They are both evil.
    12
  1057. Many of these are from earlier in the year. It’s winter now. No one is in short sleeves outside in winter.
    12
  1058. In the old days, I’m sure these old white dudes would be trying to hit on her and would be sexually harrasing her.
    12
  1059. Always liked how Pettis describe things.
    12
  1060. lol, no. You think the people in Okinawa living past 100 were athletes?
    12
  1061. It's not even close. The closest comparison would be US 2009 when the unemployment rate was going up. By 2013, the unemployment rate had been a steady decline.
    12
  1062. (I’m not being critical and see the benefits of the drug. I’m very pragmatic.) Generally, if people get committed to exercising and getting healthier, it trains your taste buds over time. And, a mental mindset.
    12
  1063. 16 ruble is like 15 cents USD.
    12
  1064. Bonus system is good for private companies, but that's based on performance goals. Have zero clue how governments (civil servants) can have performance targets.
    12
  1065. That's some hard living as she's only 31.
    12
  1066. The only way this works if you have double security doors. Have to show your face and ID to camera for entry.
    12
  1067.  @markdowse3572  Totally get it. You are saying don't start an unnecessary fire. I'm saying the fire has been burning for years.
    12
  1068.  @michaellim4165  The dictator (Park Chung-hee) who loved his country more than personal wealth. Very controversial since he laid the groundwork for future generations, but was a murderous authoritarian scumbag. (I'm a novice of Korean history since I grew up in the States. Only read a few articles here an there.)
    12
  1069. To a degree, this is how the F-35 is produced. 9 different countries are involved and there are hundreds if not thousands of subcontractors.
    12
  1070. US news org are terrible. Canada news is so much better. I got this from Canada public news station: the average Canada poultry farm has 25K birds. And, the average US farm has...wait for it...6-8 MILLION hens. Canada has a built in safety system by not relying on huge corporate farms. If 1 bird gets the flu, all the birds have to be killed. Way less damage in an outbreak in Canada.
    12
  1071. Korean has a orphanage system where each orphanage gets a stipend per child. They have to leave when they finish high school. Mostly likely, they'll have pretty tough lives (relatively). No adults to lean on and will have to make it on their own. Very few will get into good schools as they didn't go to the hagwons when younger (but they would be the same as lower class families as well). I doubt any orphanage would allow filming or interviews since they are minors.
    12
  1072. These dudes love what they do. They understand the risks.
    12
  1073. Geez, you can afford drugs with are hyper expensive in Korea and an expensive imported car, but can't afford a driver?
    12
  1074. It's called marriage. They find unique ways to manage situations.
    12
  1075. There was a survey done a few years ago across advanced economic nations. Korea (ROK) had the worst opinion on China by far of all countries.
    12
  1076.  @Hellofa6ird  Dude. Dude! That's not diplomatic immunity. That's sovereign immunity. (what is wrong with the education system. what the heck.)
    12
  1077.  @SS-up5sc  Is there any reason why Samsung should be selling life insurance? And, be in the asset management business? That's where it gets really wonky. Ma Bell did pure spin-offs. Would be really easy to force something like that.
    12
  1078. Her grandfather founded Ottogi. Net worth was $500M-$1B. Too lazy to track pre-death vs post death assets. Ottogi is a good company and the son is one of the few people that isn’t dodging the inheritance tax. Her dad inherited $300M.
    12
  1079. What happened to the dude that could make semis by hand and without machines?
    12
  1080. I swear a few months ago they were saying it’s a bad drought and rivers were dangerously low.
    12
  1081. 2nd civil war that I did not expect: 1st: GOP vs Fox News 2nd GOP vs GOP Secretary of State
    12
  1082.  @KingDeadMan  At this point, (1) I have no idea what point you are trying to make (2) don't think you watched the video
    12
  1083. It's annoying that people don't understand what agnostic means. And, it's pretty easy just to use the golden rule. And, feel a bit empathy for fellow humankind.
    12
  1084. Dude - the Chinese are going to fight themselves?
    12
  1085.  @chasehedges6775  I'm late GenX. The internet is the biggest change. We used to go to the public library to do our homework and hang out with friends when we were in middle school. Most of us played 2 or 3 sports in high school because we'd be bored if we didn't (I wasn't that good and still played). Oh yeah. And, I had a job at 11. I delivered newspapers to our neighborhood.
    12
  1086. This is a good example why Kpop groups aren’t necessarily the best singers. Seems like 50% or more of the time, they are learning choreo.
    12
  1087. Dude - you need to learn what the word race / racial means.
    12
  1088. Mob tactics. Donnie needs an overnight holding cell. And, Melanie approves of this.
    12
  1089. After reading the reddit sub /HermanCainAward, here is my conclusion. Don't feel sorry for any of these people. No need to feel sorry for their families. Feel sorry for the people that died pre-vaccine and didn't have a chance to take it. I remember there was an immune compromised doctor that continued working on the frontline in the beginning of the pandemic. He caught it and died. Feel sorry for these people.
    12
  1090. A funny example out of the FT article was a dude calling the local police to help them. The local police then arrested the police members from the distant province.
    12
  1091.  @Meonium  Being pale is a viewed as a positive in East Asian countries. Still has a subtle meaning of upper class as you aren't working outside and getting tan.
    12
  1092. Weird that laws when they weren't even a State are still valid. What kind of garbage is that?
    12
  1093. Not to be a jerk, but his "friends" failed him. They should have been his support system. Unfortunately, this is where the brand sponsorship stuff is terrible. They generate the bulk of their income from brands. No one wanted to be seen with him. People should have let him know. Look, it's going to suck for a few years. We'll help you through the financial part. You'll get back into acting eventually. Guy just needed some hope. But, that's my American thinking and not Korean part.
    12
  1094. The virus doesn’t care if your live or die. The virus doesn’t care if you have a wife and kids. The virus doesn’t care if you are anti-science anti-vax anti-mask.
    12
  1095. Went to Sunday school for 8 years. Catholic school for 2 years. Really weird how no one actually practices Jesus' teachings.
    12
  1096. It’s only episode 50, so you know something “else” is going to happen. Won’t be 50 more episodes of this dude chasing his ex-wife.
    12
  1097.  @G41251  That's odd. lol, what communist laws were passed during Obama's term? Must have skipped the news that year.
    12
  1098. He grandfather founded the company. Her dad is the CEO. The family probably owns about 1/3 of the company. Shareholder is a proper term, not owner.
    12
  1099. The HIMARS / GMLRS in Ukraine have a range of around 50 miles. If they can hit Crimea, UA recaptured a lot of territory.
    12
  1100.  @Scho-penhauer  The same reason why the Northerners and Southerners discriminated against each other after the US civil war. I can do this all day. You can make up examples without thinking and I can find examples in history.
    12
  1101.  @beefcouch-s6u  That's exactly what a olive oil lobbyist would say to refute my claim.
    12
  1102. Graduated from UH. In Hawaii, they use hapa. Wasn't really a negative or a positive. Just part of the culture.
    12
  1103. Perfect word. Was thinking exactly the same thing. She’s so charming.
    11
  1104. All the members have different strengths and weaknesses. Seems like they complimented each other very well.
    11
  1105. Not sure what pictures / videos you saw, but Suzy always looks great. She one of the most viewed fancam in Kpop.
    11
  1106. A lot of Korean child celebrities turn out ok. People have more freedom in the US. In Korea, its hard to do stupid shit ie drugs. (There are still problems in Korea though: suicide, anxiety, depression etc)
    11
  1107. Top down can be effective if…there is actual analysis done. But, that ain’t Pooh Bear. He’s a genius in his own mind, but has a middle school education.
    11
  1108. 7:08 Always amuses me that Pooh Bear allows price gouging that even capitalist countries frown upon during disaster times. Some official is getting a cut of the inflated prices.
    11
  1109. Naw, the corporations run the country now. It's bullshit, but that's why there is so much money in politics.
    11
  1110. Lotte already got screwed by China. It's always a zero sum game with China. They'll screw you over and steal your sh*t in a heartbeat.
    11
  1111. 1- it's pretty atypical for someone over 18 (past high school) to still be in this type of housing 2- these places get government funding 3- a bit inefficient. Most of the homes are bigger. Allows for a better economies of scale 4- Orphanages / group homes are privately owned. Some use the money better than others for the kids
    11
  1112. Why is the dude acting shocked about a body? He was choking his wife earlier.
    11
  1113. side note: just hats off to the US military bureaucracy on naming the Patriot. Feels like it was more of a focus back then. Patriot = Phased Array Tracking Radar to Intercept on Target (although this may be a backronym)
    11
  1114. The war on drugs has been a smashing success.
    11
  1115. That's why I had my "drunk" phone and "regular" phone. Wouldn't take my regular phone with work contacts out when I was drinking. Didn't want to have any fatal work mistakes.
    11
  1116. Always interesting how Muslims assimilated into America better than Europe. I've always just said it's because of proximity, but have no clue.
    11
  1117. Even though my Korean sucks, I can hear the accent. I just assume it's south. Have no idea if there is another area that has an accent. (Googled where Gyeongju is). It's in the SE of country and near Pohang where the big steel company, POSCO, is located. Oddly, I just remember the beach in Pohang and didn't notice the industrial part.
    11
  1118. 50-1 price to income ratios aren’t sustainable?
    11
  1119. That's a bit strange to have an Anglo name and then realized they are Christians.
    11
  1120. ​ @nicknack7132  Failed history class right? 2 million slaves from Africa were shipped to Jamaica. Her lineage goes back many generations in Jamaica. Harris’s great-grandmother, Christiana Brown, is thought to be both a descendant of Brown and enslaved Jamaicans, according to Latoya Harris, 39, who is also a great-grandchild of Brown, a stern businesswoman everyone called Miss Chrishy. ...Brown’s Town where her great-grandmother had the family store and her great-grandfather is buried in the Anglican Church graveyard.
    11
  1121. My god that woman is beautiful.
    11
  1122. So dumb and a waste of ecstasy. I used to be partial to coke and “some” drinking to take the edge off the high, but not the extreme uppers + downers. So counterproductive.
    11
  1123. lol, that worked well in the Soviet Union. And, Mao's China. Amusingly, its the opposite. CCP China needs to privatize all their state assets and distribute the wealth to their citizens. Not just cash payments, but use the money to build up social services etc.
    11
  1124. I'm pretty neutral on the police. Not in the defund the police camp, but these type of high profile unforced error incidents look extremely bad.
    11
  1125. Dude can't even hold events with a crowd. Just doing events for the press, lol.
    11
  1126. Didn't get laid until 21. Still lived a normal life and had fun with friends.
    11
  1127. This is f-ing stupid analysis and ignores the fact that ROK is an export driven economy with many of the factories overseas.
    11
  1128. Probably gets regular checkups with top notch doctors. Hopefully, they caught it early enough.
    11
  1129. lol, the contrast between Jessi's voice and Hyo-rin is night and day.
    11
  1130. She’s only flying 5 hours at a time. Earheart was doing a very long flight. And the planes / tech is way better now.
    11
  1131. Everything is so opaque, it's not even a swag. It's just a random guess at this point.
    11
  1132. F-ing heartbreaking. I eclipsed my Dad's salary during my 2nd year after college. He was a public school teacher for 30 years. I'll always be grateful for the values he taught me even though I screwed up a lot in life.
    11
  1133. Man, Trump might need to recycle nicknames. Dude is total low energy.
    11
  1134. lol, you are crazy. They made $10M for an online concert.
    11
  1135. This is a dumb argument. If the election is certified, he'll b removed from office.
    11
  1136. Even God is trying to slowdown Xi from invading Taiwan.
    11
  1137. Yeah, it's expensive to develop. Just not enough bang for the buck. The list of the Bell 412 (newer version) worldwide is quite extensive. Multiple countries have production licenses and more than 1200 worldwide have been produced.
    11
  1138. They just debuted. This will kill the industry if they let people out of their contracts after a year. Loona's was 5-7 years. Exo was about China activities.
    11
  1139. Has nothing to do with cheapness of the product, but taking advantage of lower market wages of different countries. Quality of the product is a corporate decision not a location of manufacturing decision.
    11
  1140. Liberal democracies aren't just about elections.
    11
  1141. The problem is most of the attacks are a surprise. Zero time to go into a bag. Those self defense equipment work if you are walking in a sketchy area and prepare ahead of time. Sadly, the only real advice is to be aware of your surroundings. Only way to defend against a knife is distance, so you need to be agile. Turning your back and running is suboptimal unless you are a good sprinter.
    11
  1142. This is sad. I visited Italy with my parents in '13. Obviously, we went to the tourists places, but it seemed like a beautiful country. (Venice, Florence, Rome, Naples) All the tour guides were very nice to us and my Mom still stays in touch with one of them.
    11
  1143. Roughly 1/3 of Americans think like him and are fervent supporters. The other 15%+ vote for him for other reasons.
    11
  1144. lol, robots don’t consume or pay taxes.
    11
  1145. lol, online has killed brick and mortar, but online isn’t a profitable business.
    11
  1146. He never said “no, I’m not working for the Russians” when answering the question.
    11
  1147. Dunno - I live far away from my parents. My Mom called and left a few messages to call. Took me a half day or so and she told me that my Dad died. I was like, "oh, how did it happen". I was pretty emotionless on the phone about it. She gave me the details and I asked if I should make arrangements to fly back. But, my Dad was an interesting fellow. Donated his body to science. No funeral since he turned agnostic years ago. Instead, we had a gathering with family when it was convenient...5 months later, lol.
    11
  1148. They are already doing that with other products. But, you can't "slip" cars through the cracks. The admin has said they are monitoring that "loophole".
    11
  1149. People in China should know that going to a Chinese restaurant in the US on Christmas is a tradition for some people (highlighted in a Christmas Story). Times have changed a bit though. Many more places are open on Christmas now. Didn't used to be like that. Edit: adding stuff about American Jews. And for obvious reasons, they aren't usually busy on Christmas. And what about eating Chinese food on Christmas? It dates at least as early as 1935 when The New York Times reported a certain restaurant owner named Eng Shee Chuck who brought chow mein on Christmas Day to the Jewish Children’s Home in Newark. Over the years, Jewish families and friends gather on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at Chinese restaurants across the United States to socialize and to banter, to reinforce social and familiar bonds, and to engage in a favorite activity for Jews during the Christmas holiday. The Chinese restaurant has become a place where Jewish identity is made, remade and announced.
    11
  1150. Had to look it up out of curiosity yesterday. Evergrande doesn't hold the record for losses. AOL-TW was close to 100B. So was AIG (and that was a 1 year loss vs 2 year for Evergrande).
    11
  1151. Obama aged 20 years while in office. I have to imagine being POTUS took an accelerated toll on Biden as well.
    11
  1152. Hmm, I wonder who leaked his name. (rhetorical question.)
    11
  1153. What people don’t realize is the vast majority of immigrants assimilate by the 2nd generation. Not only that, but 2nd generation immigrants that come from poor backgrounds do better in school than other poor Americans who have been here for multi-generations. Creating a system where we only let in “rich” immigrants is very short-sighted.
    11
  1154.  @HowToChangeName  lol, you are just making up stuff now and changing the goalposts. Dude - have you ever done manual labor / construction? These were construction workers. They weren't workers making actual cars. You are acting like the Brazilians aren't smart enough for construction.
    11
  1155. Literally, they are running multiple articles on it. There is this thing called the internet.
    11
  1156. Obviously, it's an adoption.
    11
  1157. Totally agree. These people are breaking the law.
    11
  1158. Korean parents always know how to screw a kid. My ex-gf was the middle sibling. The older sister got special treatment because she was the oldest and the youngest got special treatment because he was the son.
    11
  1159. Fun fact: I worked for a small US company my 2nd year out of school. My first job out of school was a large corporate 500 company. Worked there for 1 year and then was recruited by a department head that moved to this other smaller company. The new company had around 200+ corporate employees and we would have a Monday staff meeting jammed into a smallish room. Roughly a year into the job, I got into a public "argument" during the staff meeting with the CEO because I was somewhat defending our forecast / point of view (also, my direct boss was out sick). All of my co-workers were quiet and wanted me to be quiet (didn't realize this until after the meeting). Regardless, this would never happen in a Korean company. Realistically, this would never really happen in a big US company either. To a degree, this is what they are trying to encourage. Having lower level people not be fearful of open dialogue and point of view.
    11
  1160. How are they skipping over the obvious? Donnie is the oldest nominee in the history of the US. The average lifespan of a US male is 75. Donnie will be 79 next year. Of course the VP pick matters. There is a 50-50 chance the JD Vance will have to take over the Presidency.
    11
  1161. Wait, so it was the US's fault that RE prices skyrocketed in Japan?
    11
  1162. Israel will get blamed somehow. Then, the Americans.
    11
  1163. It's important to point out the injustice of the Sakhalin Koreans. But, Korea is pretty open to all the ethnic Koreans during that time period. If you can prove your Korean heritage, you can get permanent residency. The citizenship seems to be a bit harder needing paperwork from a Korean born in Korea.
    11
  1164. Chae Soo-bin lost her fuller looking cheeks. They were so cute.
    11
  1165. A few people proposed it decades ago, but Korea should make English a 2nd official language. Obviously, it won't help the population become fluent, but it would (over time) change the administration process to be more friendly to foreigners. It's one of the biggest reasons that corporations are hesitant to relocate to Korea. Hmm, I've looked at this data. Thought it was closer to 2.5M foreigners. Guess the source was bad. According to ministry data, the number of foreign residents in the country surpassed 2.5 million last year, including those staying here illegally. Not sure of why there is a discrepancy. I predict it will double over the next 20 years (whatever the number is).
    11
  1166. You really didn’t watch the video. It’s not about the entertainment industry, but Korean society as a whole.
    11
  1167. It's simple basics: supply and demand. Instead of creating new supply, the government should buy comparable housing stock off the market and transfer it to homebuyers that are waiting for delivery. Pros: would help support price by limiting supply, residents get a home and money isn't getting thrown after bad projects Cons: money is getting sucked away / transferred to homeowners and doesn't help GDP with more construction
    11
  1168.  @takahiro5528  It's total apples vs oranges. They aren't connected at all. Abortions were illegal back when this was filmed. It's conflating two subject matters that shouldn't be compared and contrasted.
    11
  1169. No, it’s grown, but only due to one time projects ie construction / real estate. It means they have to constant build “stuff” to grow GDP. Also, they have expanded exports over time.
    11
  1170. Not having the trials is much better. People are refamiliarizing themselves with Donnie and remembering he's crazy.
    11
  1171. Ain't that successful. The damn Chinese keep fishing in other countries waters.
    11
  1172. It's not even close to his highest viewed views. This is very niche.
    11
  1173. Toyota Prius has been in the market for 2 decades. Never heard of anything like this with the Prius.
    11
  1174. Literally, 25 year old missiles that were practically out of use date. Godspeed Ukraine.
    11
  1175. A lot of them are playing dead. Saw the interview with one of the Wagners dudes. That's how he survived after he was injured.
    11
  1176.  @saherking2707  Horrible analogy. The State Dept has warned US citizens not to visit Korea. Its an extremely dangerous country for a US citizen to visit. The equivalent analogy would be if a woman decides to sneak into a maximum security prison and then gets raped.
    11
  1177. No one likes to hear oppo research. It’s always going to focus on the negatives. Just need to view it as the information the Trump team is gathering.
    11
  1178. Always find it a bit weird that all this information is public, lol.
    11
  1179. I used to sleep in the trunk space of our station wagon when I was a kid. And, I'd play back there on long trips. Man, things were way different back then.
    11
  1180. Nope. The main factory is in Scranton, PA pre-Russian invasion. The Pentagon dragged their feet a bit and has extended contracts to expand production to other factories. GD has a factory in Wilkes-Barre that produces as well. Then, they get shipped to another factory to get explosive arming.
    11
  1181. Wait, you have a problem with invisible germs, but you buy take-out food? Oh boy. Germs are good for the immune system. She needs to take some science classes.
    11
  1182.  @jonny2954  From what I've read, the negotiations / explorations have been happening in the US defense department for months. Likely, they are further along in the process. (US defense department had to find the right Bradleys and get sign off to make sure the technology isn't "too advanced" ie optics / communications.)
    11
  1183. My god. I’m agreeing with Steve Bannon.
    11
  1184. They've been wrong for the past 2 cycles. Zero confidence in polling and modeling anymore.
    11
  1185. Man, it's a good thing that China didn't raise the retirement age to keep more older workers in the workforce. And, didn't mess around with the youth unemployment rate to hide the problem from the public. I'm sure this is just a blip and this will pass. It's not like another 12M people will graduate next year and the year after.
    11
  1186. It's bonkers. In San Francisco for a long time, my voting place was someone's garage. I never waited more than 5 minutes. And, it was a 5 min walk from my apartment.
    11
  1187. It’s easier than you think. You just need to train your body. Eating once a day would be an aggressive form of intermittent fasting.
    11
  1188. Geez, let them win the election first before talking about governing style / share responsibilities. This is a major political faux pas.
    11
  1189.  @fikrifahrizal482  It's because they live in China and have no idea how life is on the other side.
    11
  1190. Dude had a pretty clean record for the past 25 years. The only recent charge was an assault with a family member. That’s not a no bond type charge. Let’s use some common sense. This isn’t the film, Minority Report.
    11
  1191.  @toughgirl6837  lol, complaining about "murdering Gaddafi" and "Wimpishness with Assad" in the same sentence. No hypocrisy there. And geez, go back to elementary school and learn proper punctuation and grammar. YOU CAN'T EVEN TYPE A CORRECT SENTENCE, SO HOW WOULD YOU KNOW HOW TO EVALUATE COMPLEX GEO-POLITICAL ISSUES? Fox viewers are rocks. Dumb as rocks.
    10
  1192. Whenever I see Yuri’s name, all I can think of is the clip of Taeyeon mocking Tiffany’s voice: “ Yuriii-ahh”.
    10
  1193.  @classickdramaclips  It makes no difference what my opinion is. I'm saying that Korea decision makers are way more conservative. The 4th generation Koryoin didn't have visa status and were about to get kicked out. They passed something at the last moment. Please enlighten us on how the visa rule should work? Even in the US, you don't get visa status if you attend just school hence DACA / Dreamers limbo.
    10
  1194. Legalize all drugs. Would free up a ton of resources.

  1195. Sucks. Too many people have been impacted.

  1196. I think people are over reacting to the “selling” part. Most likely, she was going to give up the kid for adoption regardless. (I’m an adoptee.)
    10
  1197. And this is why management companies forbid dating. And she’s 23 in Korean age. 21 by western standards.
    10
  1198. You are talking about rational thinking. These are not rational people.
    10
  1199. JD Vance has a DEI wife.
    10
  1200. My Ex was a nurse. It’s not something you can fake. Lots of details involved in being a RN.
    10
  1201. umm, anyone buying a BMW in China is not middle class.
    10
  1202. Long live Five Eyes! The US is stronger when we are close to our allies.
    10
  1203. Choa never wanted to be an idol. Just wanted to sing. Seolhyun is the best example of a superstar idol. Putting aside Jimin's personality, she was involved with lyrics for their albums past '16. Come See Me was so well done and that was minus Choa.
    10
  1204.  @Melarona23  Easier, yes. Food costs are more expensive with canned / frozen. Labor costs are way lower.
    10
  1205. Fractals is another nature driven concept.
    10
  1206. I’ve traveled through Incheon airport many times and what is interesting about their screeners is their age. It’s staffed by mostly people in their 20s. A stark contrast to US airports.
    10
  1207. Not a fan when people are labeled with tags. Political spectrums and baselines are way different depending on your country. I'm center left in the US and would vote normally center right in a lot of countries. Likely, I would have voted for Milei if I lived in Argentina. I would never vote for a US right wing person.
    10
  1208. What about...What about...
    10
  1209. Both Senators from South Carolina: no kids.
    10
  1210. America. Where the minority rules the majority.
    10
  1211. Korea was dirt f-ing poor in 1960. It’s literally the best economic story of the late 20th century. Life ain’t perfect and concessions were made to jumpstart growth. Park Chung Hee’s greatest achievement was his dogged pursuit of infrastructure investment. Other poor countries during this same time period just stole money and didn’t invest back into the country. Obviously, there are reforms around the edges, but there are always going to be limitations. The best paying jobs are with the big chaebols.
    10
  1212. Most expensive Korean drama ever. Don't think anything will top it for a long time. I met a Zainichi while working at a Korean restaurant in the states. I'm pretty sure he was connected to organized crime and ran pachinko parlors in Japan.
    10
  1213. lol, we used to have this thing called the "Cold War". Maybe you failed your history class.
    10
  1214. My only fault with his analysis is that it's too rational and from a western angle. Just don't think Putin fits into those boxes.
    10
  1215. Damn. Jon is so smart. He's got great recall of the details.
    10
  1216. They live in the countryside. An decent size apartment in Seoul likely costs more than that house.
    10
  1217. The “sunk cost” fallacy is a back breaker. Always comes down to ego.
    10
  1218. It’s pretty obvious that some commenters don’t understand what this debt swap does: it doesn’t lower debt. It’s just refinancing a small portion at a lower rate. Local debt is like 5-6x higher than this swap.
    10
  1219.  @johu492  Zero chance it's a woman. It's definitely some weird dude "living in their parents basement" (or whatever the Chinese equivalent is).
    10
  1220. It's a covert military testing mission. Testing alternatives for a hot war and how we will defend tactics.
    10
  1221. The long arm of the Korean government. Thus, zero chance I'll ever get dual citizenship (even though I'm eligible).
    10
  1222. One of the oil CEOs thinks they can get to 15.5mn bpd vs the current 13.3mn bpd in the next 5 years.
    10
  1223. The young adults didn't even call the police. They didn't want to waste their time, lol. Easier for the new generation to post a video online and be done with it.
    10
  1224. Don't forget the Kpop and Korean TV ban. It almost decimated the Korean TV business. They were paying $250K+ per episode on the top dramas and all the sudden, they withdrew. China was paying the highest per episode at that point. And, a funny thing happened. This smallish streaming business in the US called Netflix decided to dip their toes in the Korean TV business. Netflix is paying many multiples more now than the Chinese ever did. And, you have Apple and Disney buying shows too. While China was important to Kpop, it was more of an add on. Again, Korea turned West and finally started to break into the western music markets.
    10
  1225. Flying commercial is way safer than driving. By many multiples.
    10
  1226. Part of projecting power is avoiding actual conflicts. Really is risky getting tested.
    10
  1227. Dong-eun needs to be invited for this shoot.
    10
  1228. There are more educators in the US than any other type of job (don't quote me-bad internet research). Everyone knows a good teacher in their past life as well.
    10
  1229.  @beowulf1312  It's a valid point. Just thinking from their perspective and Pooh Bear saying, "hey, we'll lift the lockdowns and things will go back to normal economically". Which to a degree is a somewhat insane assumption. Pooh Bear with his economic training in carrying sticks thought it was like a spigot.
    10
  1230. A bit unrelated / related: Japan has been much slower to the digital transformation as well. Still use paper receipts. Also, I remember seeing an article that Japanese customers love DVDs and CDs still. Amazon Really Wants Japanese Music Fans to Stop Buying CDs. CDs and DVDs account for almost three fourths of music sales (from 2020)
    10
  1231. You know what no one ever says about the dollar...what is replacing it? Fx is a zero sum game. What currency is going to soak up all the liquidity that is flowing out from the dollar.
    10
  1232. The crazy part is renting is so cheap. Makes way more sense just to rent and save the extra money that would have went to a mortgage.
    10
  1233. Horrible attitude. This ain’t about right or wrong. It’s about the evidence and did they meet the burden of proof of the death penalty standard. Our country is a bunch of idiots.
    10
  1234. Every country has unique immigration laws. I think your mistake was assuming Korea has the same laws as the US. The F-6 marriage requirements are pretty clear.
    10
  1235. A few random comments: Always thought it was pronounced R..O..K and not "rock". Just never heard anyone pronounce it. Also, pretty crazy the different ages / rank of the leadership. ROK is a Lt Colonel and the US is a Captain. Obviously, the ROK has more responsibility as a battalion commander and the Captain is just engineering.
    10
  1236. 7:07 whoa, the wife was pretty cute back in the day
    10
  1237. It’s impossible. It would be the weakest move ever. Would become total fodder.
    10
  1238. Has to be DNA or fingerprints. No other way to identify someone this late in the game.
    10
  1239. Yeap, we f'd up. Everything should have been approved last summer.
    10
  1240. Need to send him another Kpop performance. Send Le Sserafim since they have Korean, Japanese and American members.
    10
  1241. Going for the record! Shortest Speaker tenure in US history. (not counting the 1 day term in the 1800s)
    10
  1242.  @RevShifty  I'm a centrist. I always feel like there should be a middle ground. But I'll concede that it's swung way to the corporate advantage over the years.
    10
  1243. The funny part is they'll inject $300B into their stock market and then sell when it rises and it will go down again, lol. Right in time to suck in more average Chinese retail investors.
    10
  1244. Drugs never were a problem because there was no easy way to distribute. Now with the messaging apps and crypto, it's way easier to sidestep normal methods.
    10
  1245. Taliban fighters stop chemists selling contraception. Taliban fighters have stopped the sale of contraceptives in two of Afghanistan’s main cities, claiming their use by women is a western conspiracy to control the Muslim population. Literally, the GOP is the Taliban.
    10
  1246. Dude was broken. - Medically retired from the service after joining at 18 - No real life skills - 3 kids - I'm assuming separated from his children's mom - just turned 26 - tumultuous on and off relationship with this chick
    10
  1247. Its a great policy for people to wear masks in a hospital. A bunch of sick people together is suboptimal. Covid and in the future.
    10
  1248. Bond trading is a weird animal even in the US. On smaller names, you have to submit your sell order. Then a batch of bids come back minutes later. It's not instantaneous. You can reject the sell after getting the bids back.
    10
  1249. ugh, "drugs". MDMA doesn't make a person violent. Far from it.
    10
  1250. lol, they've said this every year for the past 5+ years.
    10
  1251. @ Yeah, that's not how things work, but ok. You can't use American salaries and Chinese expenses as comparison points. You realize economists have metrics for this right? Even if you don't have an economic background, you can use % of salary for each country.
    10
  1252. False. The lawyer’s affidavit was not about “classified” material. DOJ had some common sense and used the term “marked as classified”.
    10
  1253. To minimize UA human losses, allies needed to ramp up defense production at the start of the war. Done a terrible job and have been 2 steps behind.
    10
  1254. PBS is public TV. These are always free and without ads. It’s supported by the Federal government and private donations. You can go on their website and watch them all.
    10
  1255.  @phoenixkwon  Actually, the tourist visa is 90 days. Literally, he could take the ferry over to Japan from Busan. Spend 1 night there and come back. Immigration might ask questions, but no one questioned me. I did this for 1+ years, but I took a plane out of the country.
    10
  1256. I've watched some of Hyeri's CFs. I can see why she's popular since she makes the CFs interesting to watch. Surprised that the Girl's Day's members didn't share the CF money.
    10
  1257. And, Line 1 is the only subway route I'm familiar with.
    10
  1258.  @dizzyMongoose  I'm pretty centrist (really left in today's politics). I'm a believer in incrementalism, making sure programs don't have unintended consequences and being prudent. I thought the ACA was a good first step to evaluate and then see if it could be improved. But, I can see how the left is frustrated. Dems always have to be the sane ones and the right just comes in and blows stuff up without looking at the consequences or not caring. I'll almost understand if the left fires back aggressively in the same manner.
    10
  1259.  @PaulieWalnuts88  Just like no cares about your private internet habits. Data is a valuable asset. I'm no Libertarian either. I'm a moderate center-left in my politics. Until DNA is treated with HIPAA laws, I will refuse to take a test.
    10
  1260. Dude - you can't just google the rate. The (up to) 200 to 1 is the real rate that people in Russia can buy dollars. You people need to educate yourself on how the real world works.
    10
  1261. UK has been way out in front. US in the middle. And, Germany bringing up the rear.
    10
  1262. Did these people find JD’s couch?
    10
  1263. The F-35 Fighter Jet is pretty expensive, but what makes it really expensive is the operating and ongoing maintenance cost. The same goes for infrastructure projects. It's not just the upfront costs, but how usage and maintenance costs are balanced out.
    10
  1264. NORAD is a joint US-CA organization.
    10
  1265. The DUI arrests were way spread apart: 1987, 1991, 2004, 2016. Even if he was jailed in '16, the dude would be out by now. (likely, these were the times the dude was caught only though.)
    10
  1266. Quite amusing. I wouldn't even drive to Daly City from SF to go to InNOut. Also, Shake Shack is a restaurant burger downscaled. InNOut is a fast food burger that is upscaled.
    10
  1267. Most State Police officers go through an extensive training program. Local towns will hire just about anyone.

  1268.  @sara.cbc92  “I bow my head in regret for my lack of caution. I am sincerely sorry for making many people concerned and will make sure that such accidents do not happen again. Only seeing the writing on the clothing, I thought the design was meant for helping the victims of the Japanese earthquake and I was not able to recognize the design. I once again apologize for my mistake which cannot be justified with any excuses.” ㅡ Hyeri “I believe the issue began due to the fact that T.O.P, as well as the other staff, were not able to recognize the significance of the sign and point it out. We sincerely apologize for the incident as the fact that it was unintentional does not forgive the mistake. T.O.P is has been quite surprised and is deeply reflecting upon the unintentional incident. We will make an effort to prevent further mistakes through strict caution.” ㅡ Yang Hyun Suk “Hello, this is Tiffany. I am sorry that I made a mistake on such a precious and meaningful day causing many of you discomfort. I am sorely embarrassed by my mistake that has disappointed many people and I am deeply regretting my actions. I will always remember that my every action and words are being watched by many and will always think deeply before I take action in the future. I am again very sorry for causing everyone such disappointment due to my mistake.” ㅡ Tiffany “We are aware of the Rising Sun Flag issue caused by (our artists’) clothing. If you look closely, the design is not a circle, but rather, a rose. We understand completely that it could have been an issue. Our agency should have taken more caution and we apologize for not being able to do so.” ㅡ Trouble Maker’s agency

  1269. His speaking tone is so flat. My brain automatically tunes it out and starts to sound like the teacher’s voice in the Charlie Brown / Peanuts cartoons.
    10
  1270. Of all the pop stars, she’s got the most to lose as her base has a lot of crossover. Props to Taylor.
    10
  1271. He's 33. Obama was smart. Ran before the national media could pin him down. Ossoff needs to wait until his 40s (at least) and will have a lot more of a voting record.
    10
  1272.  @justmaybe6638  You should listen to Mayor Pete speak. That dude is a Rhodes scholar.
    10
  1273. Now, this is where it becomes very silly. What country? Has your friend been in contact with anyone from China?
    10
  1274.  @Kimmimaro86  Genius! Name another province in China that needs a separate passport? lol, are we calling HK and Macau provinces now?
    10
  1275. Why would anyone think Russian meat is popular? I'll admit, I did break US law by sneaking some cured meats into the US which I bought outside of Florence. But, that was Italy.
    10
  1276. The problem is "limits". I regularly worked 50-60 hours in my corporate job. Much of it was voluntarily to get ahead. There are industries in the US where 50 hours is nothing. Admittedly, once you start going over 60 hours, it becomes a grind. Basically, 11 hours (5x a week) + 5 hours on Sunday gets you to 60 hours. Stuff gets really tricky after that. You start working full 6 days a week or more than 12 hours a day. But right after school, I waited tables on the weekends for 18 hours + had a corporate job for about 45-50 hours a week. (This never can be maintained forever though. I think that's the problem. Should be done in short bursts in your career. Usually, early on.)
    10
  1277. Someone should audit those "office supply" receipts. I'm 99.9% sure there are going to be some questionable write-offs at the individual receipt level.
    10
  1278. umm, I was shocked that no one was there. I'm still a little shocked that everyone didn't go to the airport to see her off.
    10
  1279. Respect the “Executive time” that flooded the last dude’s schedule.
    10
  1280. Welcome to my childhood as a Korean growing up in the states.
    10
  1281. Had a few LDS co-workers. I only remember asking questions about their "rules" and they would talk about "spirit of the law" vs "letter of the law" and each individual deciding. But, these dudes were way on the liberal side of LDS.
    10
  1282. Upscale neighborhood and basically a "hit". Always ends up being someone close to the victim.
    10
  1283. I'm surprised she hasn't learned how to make her own mayo with that hand immersion blender.
    10
  1284. I wouldn't expect the comment people to explain / understand macro + micro economics in real world applications. Lots of gray areas. It's never black / white. And, the data is never as clean as a textbook real-time.
    10
  1285. They should start creating territorial defense units like many smaller EU countries do.
    10
  1286. You are crazy. Hyori was the biggest singer in the early / mid 2000s. And top 5 female celebrities.
    9
  1287.  @rp1OOOk  Seolhyun was "thick" by Korean standards.
    9
  1288. And she was only 18. Crazy.
    9
  1289. Splitting hairs a bit. Here is the press release: “The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2020 to...“ That’s a sure roundabout way to say it’s not a Nobel Prize.
    9
  1290. Did you shop during the lunar new year in 2019? 2018? 2017? How does it compare?
    9
  1291. I knew a twin adoptee where they split them intentionally (1 stayed in Korea, the other got adopted to the US). And she was in contact with her birth family when she became a young adult. It was just weird.
    9
  1292. The country is becoming a living parody.
    9
  1293. Yeah, it would be insane. There would be a thousand dead bodies on the Capitol lawn. No one would have breached the building.
    9
  1294.  @garedmorort  The amusing part is the economy is already basically dollarized. More and more places are pricing outwardly in dollars and some are even paying employees in dollars (if they can).
    9
  1295. Shin Hye Sun looks kinda the same always. It’s kinda hard to change her look even with the “makeover”.
    9
  1296. Let me guess, it was poodle that attacked (sarcasm).
    9
  1297. I’ve only flown Asiana as a backup to KAL, but generally it was a bit cheaper. Also, their planes seemed a bit older. One of my more interesting rides was business class in Asiana.. Had a lot of weird dead space since it was near the front. Like very front of the plane.

  1298. Is Gene Simmons a man? Trans? Is Shaun White a man? Trans? The dude has a very uncommon name. Feel free to use the internet.

  1299. To support local businesses and jobs.

  1300. No, he wasn't fearing for his own life. His job was to protect the members of Congress. If they would have broken down that last barrier, his protectee's lives would have been in danger.
    9
  1301. This is comical to anyone that lives in the Bay Area. It's all the East Bay. Literally, minutes away from each other. I have no idea where the Alameda-Oakland-Berkeley lines end or begin.
    9
  1302. She settled in 2022. They cheaped out and didn't fulfil the agreement, lol. Settlement was for 3 million. They only paid her 1 million.
    9
  1303. lol, this is for the cameras. They are stealing it when cameras aren't around.
    9
  1304. Totally different countries and each of the examples are way different. Generally speaking, it's a subtle PR campaign.
    9
  1305. His predecessor was 10x better: Tim Russert. There were a few controversial things that came out afterwards, but he was the best political guy in the business.
    9
  1306. UA is paying with blood and NATO is gaining valuable intel on battleground strategies.
    9
  1307. It's a crime he's not making sauerkraut. It's basically the German version of kimchi. I always like sauerkraut as a kid, but wasn't a fan of kimchi.
    9
  1308. I have no issues with foreigners owning things in the US. The problem is that our LLC laws shield the identities of the owners. That needs to go away.
    9
  1309. Pop very outspoken. Steve Kerr very outspoken. What do you see in common? (and I'm not talking about the NBA rings)

  1310.  @kerinwills  Gotcha. You must be the "affluenza" Mom. Great, just great.

  1311. Remember, these are still rare cases in Korea. The dude was so weak / wuss that he couldn’t overtake a female 2 years younger than him AND he had a weapon.

  1312. We are really uneducated as a society. The full proverb: a few bad apples… CAN SPOIL THE WHOLE BUNCH. it’s exactly what is happening.
    9
  1313.  @miragebarrage9748  Extremely sad. Since the article didn't mention the husband, I'm not sure if he stayed behind or if they are divorced. And, who the other 2 people were in the sister's family. Was grandfather's 80th birthday though and hence the trip.
    9
  1314. lol, I'm pretty sure I remember seeing articles in past about how Koreans were killing the interest in the LPGA.
    9
  1315. LLCs should not be anonymous. Our corporate overlords have taken over everything and we should have the right to know who the true owners are. Could be some random foreign company.
    9
  1316.  @luminousmiu  Actually, I have been on a ferry from Incheon port. Most of my relatives that live in Korea live in Incheon. And I've been on several ferries in the States. And yes, I always planned my escape route if something went wrong. I'm not a good example. We never trusted our teachers in high school and did a lot of things outside the boundaries.
    9
  1317.  @hodanmohamed3663  lol, and this is the problem. You really going to make me spell it out?
    9
  1318. Statements like this are confusing. Obviously, you have graduated middle school by then. How was he still involved in your schooling since it was a different school?
    9
  1319. lol, Mao literally said Japan was off the hook and everything was fine. No need to apologize anymore.

  1320. It’s either: 1- no one is meeting loan requirements 2- banks are being forced to buy government debt and don’t have the funds to loan out

  1321.  @KBowWow75  Freudian slip. Did you catch it? As a Korean, I really don't like SK doing this to their neighbor just because of the US. ... "their" and not "our". Person is a fraud.

  1322. This dude will barely make it to 60.

  1323. Really sad. They could have reached out for US assistance. We’ve got a deep bench of covid medications now. But, Xi can’t be seen as weak and saving face is more important.

  1327. IMO, the British relative link is pretty weak. His wife’s family and his siblings are REALLY well connected though. They do everything under the radar.
    9
  1328. lol, that's not how it works. Even in work from home / remote, global companies need a regional hub and offices. HK served as a global Asia base for many international companies. Many of them have moved to Singapore.

  1329. Not sure why, but CNN etc was using her glamour shot for her picture. Looks completely different here.

  1330. Listen to her on the Larry Wilmore podcast. The most entertaining and a bit funny breakdown of the war.

  1331. I’m Korean, but didn’t have any Korean friends until college (US). One night, we went to an expensive steak place and ordered. Then, I was a bit shocked when they started cutting and splitting up the entrees to share with the table. I kept the habit whenever I go out with people to share so people can taste different dishes.
    9
  1332. Maybe I have missed it, but I've never seen anyone protest out of altruistic reasons. Chinese people only seem to care when it impacts them directly.

  1333. lol, they are selling military style MREs to the public. Those things are garbage (apologies to the MRE Youtube guy).

  1334. Kelly is a novice in campaigns. Walz, Shapiro, Cooper are grizzled veterans.

  1335. The first one was targeted at an official and his ex-wife. The official was cheating with his wife and used his influence for the courts for a lopsided judgement. The other people were collateral damage.

  1337.  @JessAyu  Possibly, I think that's a debatable question about nature vs nurture. Adoptees and specifically twin adoptees are very good test cases for question. I'm adopted. I have 2 full younger blood siblings in Korea. I would argue my personality is more similar to my American father and brother. I think all cases are different, but I think nurture makes up a greater portion (more than 50%) of a person's personality and traits.

  1338. The US intelligence budget is more than the entire Russian military budget (not direct comparison due to the cost of living differences).

  1345. They signed the withdraw agreement over a year ago. All troops were supposed to be out by May ‘21. The last admin didn’t want any refugees from Afghanistan. So, here we are.

  1346. The fucked up part is the cop said he does meet the description. A white man with a tan. F-ing completely ignores the detailed description by the eyewitness.

  1348. Banks are mildly concerned about homeowners mortgage defaults. But, they are pretty aggressive in seizing and selling properties. Then, the homeowner is still responsible for negative equity for the rest of their life. But, if these brick and mortar stores all go under and commercial real estate defaults, whew. There is no recourse. Banks are going to take the loss. It's all opaque though. No one on the outside has a clue what is really on the books.

  1349. I'm a Korean adoptee. Met my birth family which is relatively big. My Aunt who speaks English well explained it to me. I still fully don't understand. - Mom / Dad have me. Mom / Dad break up - Dad's mother (my grandmother) sends me to orphanage - when my Mom's side of the family finds out, it's too late to get me back (something weird like someone will get arrested) - get adopted overseas What's weird is my Mom has 5 brothers and sisters. Like dude, no one could take me in? My grandma (Mom's side) was married and I have a grandfather as well. Like, they couldn't take me in? Obviously, a radically life changing moment, lol. Regardless, I don't probe any further because it doesn't bother me. It's in the past and I'm not that curious. But, yes. Was a bit simpler when I thought I was a paper slip baby. I guess that's life. Positive and negatives.

  1351.  @kshen7485  Dude - Hate to break it to you, but all Western economies are a blend of capitalism and socialism. Some countries in the EU tilt more toward socialism and in the US more towards capitalism. Here's some juicy EU tidbits: - European Union legislation mandates that all 27 member states must by law grant all employees a minimum of 4 weeks of paid vacation. Also, EU has 13 public holidays. - Everyone can go to college for free in Norway. Even non-citizens! Other EU countries have free tuition and pretty low fees

  1352. I'm glad they are doing stories like this. Using 6% incremental spending of the defense budget to cripple Russia militarily for the next 10 years shouldn't be debatable, but one party has gone on the crazy train.

  1362. There is a process for this. Victim will sue and the courts will decide the amount.

  1363. Again, false. He wasn't demoted. He never finished his coursework. Capt. Holly Rockow, a public affairs officer for the Minnesota National Guard, said it is legitimate for Walz to say he served as a command sergeant major. She said the rank changed because Walz retired before completing coursework at the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy along with other requirements associated with his promotion.

  1364. 0:30 Yes, this is what I'd imagine a paleontologist would look like.

  1365. Here’s the thing I didn’t fully understand: The process is normally: 1- non binding offer 2- due diligence 3- binding offer 4- final contract. Dude literally skipped all steps and wrote a very friendly “seller” contract with a forced fast timeline. Final contract language usually gets hammered after months of lawyer review. (Oh yeah, the former Chief Justice for DE works for law firm that Twitter hired.)

  1374. Doesn’t seem that Park Ha na has any major surgery. She looks pretty natural.
    9
  1375. It's a f-ing non-issue. The dude had hearing problems from heavy artillery. And, he was thinking about running for Congress. In late 2002, he was ordered to appear before a medical retention board about the hearing impairment. After waiting for a decision for months, he was given clearance to serve out the remaining years of his final six-year enlistment. Medical records show that in 2005 Walz underwent stapedectomy surgery, a procedure in which damaged bones inside the ear are replaced with a prosthesis. He said it has improved his hearing.

  1377. In my past lifetime, I worked in the apparel industry. I was the numbers guy, but my position was high enough where I could walk around and listen to any meeting. And, it really is like this. When the creative head walks through a line, they are efficient and direct. The hardest part for the head merchant who was responsible the line was knowing when to speak up and disagree or just make the changes.

  1381. But, housing is everything. The other parts are secondary. People are already stretched to meet mortgage payments. Then think about if values drop by -20%, people just lost their entire down payment. Any bigger drop and they are underwater in their mortgage. That has a domino effect of no new housing starts, pinches domestic spending and a death spiral. Foreign capital and foreign business is the sideshow.

"I was the one who pulled the trigger of this war," Strelkov said in an interview published Thursday with Russia's Zavtra newspaper, which espouses imperialist views. "If our unit hadn't crossed the border, everything would have fizzled out — like in [the Ukrainian city of] Kharkiv, like in Odessa,"

  1386. The fear isn't that this is a global virus, its that China will need to effectively shutdown the country for months and bring down the global economy. Additionally, the Chinese government doesn't have the best track record for transparency and honesty, so who knows the real statistics. If China starts shutting down other cities for a longer period of time, you can surmise that the Chinese government is far more worried and basically lying about death / transmission rates.

  1398. Yeah, it's not even close of a comparison. The US was barely oversupplied in the housing market and it quickly went to undersupplied by 2010. And, it's a completely different model since people in the US can claim bankruptcy.
    9
  1399. A couple of points: (1) its China. The dangers for the wealthy are minimal unless your are cheating / break CCP rules (2) seems like its more of a "status" symbol than real protection (3) visible bodyguards are a good thing for the deterrent (4) those girls would have very little chance against a large dude (300lb+), but I'd imagine those are rare in China

  1400. The sneaky underreported Netflix strategy is overwhelming "youngish" directors will large sums of money to do their magnum opus. Film budgets are way smaller in other countries. Netflix will plunk down 2-3x a healthy film budget and let these directors do a long series. The Squid Game guy got $15-20M to do his series. Dude had been thinking about that series for 10 years. And, the average film budget in Korea is <$5M. Never would have gotten the funding. Plus, Netflix doesn't interfere in the content or direction. They just worry about the budget.
    9
  1401. Naw, that’s incorrect. This is a death penalty case. Personal viewpoints should go out the door and apply the evidence to match the laws on the books. If you can’t put aside personal viewpoints, it’s screwing up the system.
    9
  1402. In the US, his lawyers would advise him to say nothing since his case is still pending. Korean law seems to work a bit different. While the suspect can stay silent, it's viewed negatively in the eyes of the law. Regardless, the case is relatively new. Nothing gained by speaking now.

  1422. Starbucks and Estee Lauder said their China businesses aren't rebounding as they should either. Estée Lauder stock was falling Wednesday after the cosmetics company lowered its sales outlook for the year as softness in China is expected to continue. Starbucks revised its projections for global and U.S. same-store sales growth to a range of low single digits to flat from its previous forecast of 4% to 6%. Same-store sales in China are expected to decline by single digits, down from the prior outlook of a single-digit increase.

  1426. There are 2 important timelines that the TV show didn't address. 2012: There was a law implemented that you can't have a baby anonymously. A baby has a right to know its lineage. Ironically, this was passed because of the 200K international adoptions from Korea. It's not that kids weren't abandoned in the past. It was easier. The number of babies dropped off at these baby boxes was 35 in 2011, and increased sharply to 79 in 2012 and 252 in 2013 2019: Even though abortion was "available", it was still illegal. Still murky, but you can't be charged with a crime anymore. In April 2019, abortion was technically legalized in Korea as the Constitutional Court concluded that banning abortion in the early stages of pregnancy was a violation of the right to self-determination. The court viewed that abortion before the 22nd week of pregnancy should be decriminalized, saying that a woman's right to self-determination outweighs a fetus' right to life. Baby box stats from 2022: According to the Seoul Institute, Sunday, a total of 106 babies were dropped off at baby boxes last year, down from 217 in 2018.

  1437. The page limit is 10 pages. DoJ requested to go beyond that limit and asked for 40 pages. And, the Trump lawyers went beyond 10 pages without asking permission. When your lawyers can’t do procedure right, how can you trust them with the big issues?

  1438. Lots of bad shit happened during Korea's authoritarian time period.

  1439. As a Korean that grew up in the US, this stuff never bothers me. I literally got confused for Chinese or Japanese during my childhood. Even though the US fought a war in Korea, no one knew what or where Korea was when I was a kid.
    8
  1440. lol, they've used this trope in several Korean dramas. I always thought it was fake. I stand corrected.

  1444.  @chatteyj  Information flowed way differently back then pre-internet. Literally, people would need to receive journals in paper form to get this type of information. Need newspaper articles? Go to the microfiche section at the library. (I was a part-time paid researcher for my college Finance department in the late '90s. I lived at the library doing this type of work, but finance related.)

  1445. We are basically at full employment.

  1446. Twitter has been always great for niche information. You just have to follow the right people. People in the past were very generous in explaining "obscure" information because they liked sharing. When the UK Gilt market almost blew up, someone wrote a long tweet thread explaining what was happening. (I didn't follow that person, but someone I followed thought it was good information and retweeted it.) Edit: Jason Furman just tweeted out a dumbed down version of the Core PCE with charts. The dude was the Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers.

  1456. Military service was 2 years, but the dude got a nice assignment. Had an office job and could train at night. Plus, he stayed at home with his wife and kid instead of being in the barracks. He got to rehab, rebuild his game and train. No negatives.

  1457. An economic alliance means that you have shared values. Not sure if hating the western system is a shared valued to have an alliance prosper. Also, you have winners and losers in alliances. It's give and take. China will never allow this. India as well.

  1460. Since this is about Law and Crime, here’s a pro tip: probably not best to email a “shadow” confession. Still remember advice from outside counsel when I worked in a corporate office: Never email when you can leave a voicemail. Never leave a voicemail when you can say it in person. And, get an attorney before you start confessing your crimes.

    8
  1465. Many years ago, our outside counsel said to us: Never email / text something you can call on the phone. Never phone call something you can say in person. This is why you don't make phone calls on shady stuff. (the funny part is I worked in a totally benign non-controversial job / company. Lawyers were just "lawyering".)

  1466. Not the same, but I remember years ago a group of bikers surrounded a family in a SUV and were chasing them mercilessly. It's weird how cops don't intervene though.

  1469. Cameron had some controversies in the past, but the dude is a step up. I've always thought he's pretty rational.

  1470.  @Matt_K  lol, this is dumb. They have a very small portion of their assets in China. JFC. Vanguard is a fricken ETF / Mutual fund company. THEY HAVE NO RISK. _Edit: people have to get comfortable with basic math, % with large numbers. Blackrock has a $9.5 trillion AUM. Even if they have 5% of their assets in China, it "seems" like a big number: $500B. But, that's how asset allocation works. Blackrock ain't going under if they lose -50% on 5% of their assets = -2.5% hit on their assets_
    8
  1471. This is all that's needed. Small sincere steps lead to bigger steps. Way more important to worry about the future challenges and stop relitigating the past.
    8
  1472. I remember when Russia had a space launch failure about 10 years ago. And, I commented that I will always root against Russia because of my upbringing as a kid. A Russian replied, admonished me and complained this attitude is what's wrong. Don't think anything will ever change for a few generations.

  1475. Not enough time in life to do a deep dive if I'm not going to use the data, but it's a bit confounding. Population peaked about 5-10 years ago, but housing costs are sky rocketing still. Maybe it's the regional displacement of available housing or like the video is talking about, a change in household makeup. Side note: Korea should start experimenting with old people residences mixed with daycare. They've done it on a small scale in the West.
    8
  1476. lol, you obviously don’t want to eat. You ain’t seen nothing yet with inflation.
    8
  1477. Seems like she's an only child which is a bit rare for that time period. She's probably in her 30s which makes her a late 80s or 90s kid. Fertility rate was still in the reasonable range back then.
    8
  1478. This is why NFLX has been valuable for Korea content. Many of the projects aren't traditionally commercial. And, as an "outsider", they don't have to adhere to old norms. TvN or JTBC which have wider ranges of programs would never produce something like this. And, there is a long list of dramas that would never had made it on TV due to material, cost or just being a bit too edgy.
    8
  1479. I was the same. Although adopted at 2 3/4, I have zero recollections of Korea. I had more issues of being an Asian in a white / black society than being adopted. Well, the universe works weird since my birth family searched out for me. I have 2 full Korean younger siblings and 3 aunts and uncles that live in the states.

  1480. I love Biden, but physically he can’t campaign effectively anymore.

  1482. I've been saying this for the past 1-2 years. Healthy economies run off discretionary purchases. All the services and goods that are "unnecessary" is the engine of the economy.
    8
  1483. lol, I called this months ago when I heard Chinese people were buying gold. It's actually why buying gold at Costco isn't a bad thing. You can trust Costco.
    8
  1484. Dude - he moved to a country. He wasn't born there. Yeah, it's weird.
    8
  1485.  @AlphariusDominatus  Dude - I'm Korean. The government has explicitly said they aren't getting involved if anything happens in Taiwan.
    8
  1486.  @danl5592  Facts. At least 20 Indian soldiers and four Chinese troops were killed in clashes in the area two years previously, in mid-2020.
    8
  1487. Hot Ones! If she can handle the wings, I'm still pushing for it. Sean would be very respectful.
    8
  1488. 5:40 This just makes no sense. Banks don't load up their balance sheet with EM debt. It's a specialty shop business or a very low portion of the investments. Too lazy to look it up, but lots of this debt is heavily discounted already.

  1489. If they are all in poverty, no one will be able to tell the difference. -Pooh Bear
    8
  1490. lol, you've never worked in production.
    8
  1491. Oddly, we never officially declared war against North Korea. Since it was a "police action", I don't think treason officially applies.
    8
  1492.  @Deltasquadformingup  Dude - not sure you understand English. It was UN sponsored aid to Korea in the 1950s when North Korea invaded the South. Truman never officially declared war against North Korea which requires an act of Congress. Did you people fail middle school history class?
    8
  1493. Unless you are in a 2 story house, don't go up in a fire. Flames move up. Smoke moves up.
    8
  1494. What about the Uygurs? Why doesn't AJ talk to the Chinese official about the Uygurs?
    8
  1495. Just look at the parking lot. Zero chance it was an IDF bomb.
    8
  1496. So annoying that small towns get a pass at ripping on the coastal cities.
    8
  1497. Naw, not the same. Singapore never had a massive oversupply problem.
    8
  1498. ugh, where are the parents and / or close friends in these situations?
    8
  1499. A regular federal employee would go through a background check. Dude wouldn’t pass it.
    8
  1500. Grapes were created to fit into Trump's hands?
    8
  1501. Seems like there was a delay on the CODIS hit. The dude was on probation which means he was arrested and convicted in the past. His DNA should have been uploaded when the conviction happened.
    8
  1502. Gotta admit that I hate nearly all of Ken Buck's political positions, but admire the dude. This weird thing where we call people by titles. Even worse when they keep it for years after position / office. Can't imagine being at work and being like, "CEO Matt, what's your take on this?". Asian countries (at least Korea) do that. It's really weird.
    8
  1503. JD Vance is the classic example why there are very few conservative comedians. Unless you are talking about unintentional cringe humor.
    8
  1504. JD Vance is going to pull a Tonya Harding, lol. (yikes, that would make Trump, Nancy Kerrigan. Sorry Nancy!)
    8
  1505. We should have invaded Canada in the 1800s, lol.
    8
  1506. The missing daughter has to be related to the rich family somehow. It’s too predictable.
    8
  1507.  @karenstraborvsky5235  People tend to assume things work the same where they live. In the US, people don't grow large crops without having a contract. (or they use a middle person system.) The smaller farmers are usually the more organic ones that sell for higher prices possibly in markets. It's obvious that things work different in CCP China.
    8
  1508. You realize that's an arbitrary number the Russian Central bank set right? A non-market number not based supply and demand or fx trading.
    8
  1509. Stop including useless statements from the former POTUS.
    8
  1510.  @MrUncleBob  Dude - that was an example. I have no idea of all the information / timeline on this issue. A simple search will show, he sold on the 15th. Audit news broke on the 22nd. via AllKpop. This communication likely triggered the audit, so it was send the week before the audit. This sale occurred just before ADOR's management sent a communication raising suspicions about HYBE's management, which is believed to have been based on undisclosed information.
    8
  1511.  @AK1776-  lol, you fucking dumbass. No one was killed.
    8
  1512.  @OneShadow7  lol, the US ain't buying Russian oil in any significant quantities. The vast majority of US imported oil comes from Canada and Mexico. The US are net exporters of oil now in total. Export light sweet and import heavy and sour.
    8
  1513.  @god-son-love  Yeah, it's called the internet. “F-16s do best on long, pristine runways. They could face difficulties on the rougher, former Soviet ones dispersed across Ukraine,” RAND Corp. analysts John Hoehn and William Courtney wrote in a blog post earlier this month. “To bring in Western aircraft, Ukraine might need to repave and potentially extend a number of runways, a process which Russia would likely detect. If only a few airfields were suitable and in known locations, focused Russian attacks could impede Ukrainian F-16s from flying,” they wrote. But “training maintenance personnel can take months or years, depending on the desired level of proficiency,” according to a March report on the possible F-16 transfers from the Congressional Research Service (CRS). Even after undergoing up to 133 days of schooling, a US Air Force maintainer gains a year of on-the-job experience to become fully qualified, the CRS report says.

  1514. I transferred school there for college from the East Coast a while ago. Immediately, I realized I walked too fast when going to class. Everyone was strolling along and I was doing the East Coast speed walk. Never really adjusted to the pace there and settled on the compromise of West Coast. Happy medium between East Coast and Hawaii.
    8
  1515. Had the same opinion as others. Her voice is enchanting.
    8
  1516. Let's not forget that the PLO tried to take out the King of Jordan and overthrow him. Jordan kicked them out and shift the problem to Lebanon. All they want is war and power. Won't ever end.
    8
  1517. Non-serious info: China social media buzz about Yellen dining at local place, person of her standing in US government eating with average Chinese in open setting. Restaurant posts on account “What a magical day.”
    8
  1518. The tricky part of running focus groups is that it's still an opinioned voter. Anyone that signs up for a political focus group has way more skin in the game that the average voter. Maybe Sarah accounts for it. Maybe she doesn't.
    8
  1519. Dude has a natural prison outfit. Korea has a much healthier zoo where the animals roam a bit and people drive around in caged cars.
    8
  1520.  @alfredhitchcock45  lol, equality / diversity laws have nothing to do with state residents getting into state schools. State taxes subsidize state colleges.
    8
  1521. Always odd when Americans bring in "home" politics to a different subject matter.
    8
  1522. Looks like a smallish apartment. Even though it's a fat cat now, it would likely benefit in expanding the cat's space. Need to create vertical escape spaces. Creating an upper area just for the cat with shelves etc. Didn't see any scratching posts either.
    8
  1523.  @KingDeadMan  lol, you are Kingdead. YOU REPLIED UNDER MY COMMENT. You stated your POV to something like "I like the white bread taste" and inferring some type of bread tastes like a sponge. AND mischaracterized my statement as processed food when White bread is Ultra processed food. Which I countered incredulously that only Americans could prefer the taste of white bread over bakery bread ie European style. Which somehow you pooh-pooh or acted like it's irrelevant (ok, whatevers). And, then switched the POV to price. THE VIDEO IS ABOUT ULTRA PROCESSED FOOD.
    8
  1524. Yeap, usually always human error. Unless, it's a floor mat jammed or something specific, it sure seems like these are pedal confusions. (speaking about manual driving and not automated)
    8
  1525. Oh boy, lots of laws violated here. I went to a few room salons with my cousin. Just drinking though and some were more high end then others. My thoughts went in the other direction. Can easily see how the establishment could setup cams to record the guys and possibly blackmail.
    8
  1526. Would be really easy to split the country in regions and give half the people off. Then, take 1 week break to not overlap travel and give the other half a week off 3 weeks total).
    8
  1527. Ok, I'd understand if they opened at 7am-7pm, but taking a lunch closure when hours are 7-8 hours or less is silly. Lunch closures shouldn't happen at public offices. If banks want to do it, that's a business decision. I'm sure another bank will see it as a opportunity.
    8
  1528. All countries have corruption. It's too wide / vague of a term. Korea while corrupt during their industrial period generally funneled money towards infrastructure and growth which laid the groundwork for their success. Only now is it a hindrance since a few companies monopolize the market. And, it's debatable if it's a pure negative.
    8
  1529. Even in TX, you are eligible for bail unless it’s capital murder or you have priors. Getting arrested doesn’t mean you are guilty. That’s how our system works. Hopefully, the delivery drivers family can sue the estate.
    8
  1530. No dude. As a society, it’s in the best interest for our citizens and the country to have kids. And, kids that are healthy. Healthy kids means less issues and less societal costs down the road.
    8
  1531. That was an excellent jury. They didn't say he was innocent, but the evidence didn't reach the reasonable doubt threshold.
    8
  1532. Dude - Ukraine got invaded. If any country understands, its Korea.
    8
  1533. Pyongyang is 130 miles from the DMZ. No basic after market drone can fly that distance. NoKo is blowing smoke.
    8
  1534. Under the Constitution of Mexico, the president heads the executive branch of the federal government and is the commander-in-chief of the Mexican Armed Forces.
    8
  1535. Damn, Jon is doing that without notes.
    8
  1536. Geez, chill.
    8
  1537. So wrong on this. These are all military targets.
    8
  1538. lol, Instagram is banned in China.
    8
  1539. I have a feeling that you are not the average independent voter since you are watching the Bulwark. Me, I classify myself as center-left, but the goal posts have shifted so much, I'm considered a flaming liberal now.
    8
  1540. Dude - you don't have her ID number or something like that? Obviously hindsight is 20-20, but seems a bit irresponsible.
    8
  1541. I love Biden. But, the dude wasn't campaigning at all. This is just normal campaign stuff that should have been happening months ago.
    8
  1542. I got flashbacks to the Hunt for the Red October and wondered if arty shells need a minimum distance to arm themselves. Nope. I think one of the anti-tank system works that way as well.
    8
  1543. The sister, Jin Hee, sounds and looks exactly like my ex. Weird.
    8
  1544. Elections in a democracy as a check and balance seem to always outweigh the supposed efficiency of an autocratic government. The crazy EU discusses topics / projects so long and the levers move very slowly, but I'll take that over this pure waste of money (US is probably in the middle in terms of efficiency). It's like they did less research than a college student would do on a new bridge proposal.
    8
  1545. Hawaii likely has the highest % of mixed population of any of the states.
    8
  1546. ROK is basically like, "ok, let's export our weapons and gather a lot of friends...just in case".
    8
  1547. It's nearly impossible to go into a recession with unemployment at or below 4%.
    8
  1548. These people are clogging up the medical system claiming personal choice nonsense, but the go rushing to the hospital when they can’t breathe. Fine, don’t take the vaccine. Then, don’t go to the hospital either.
    8
  1549. Too lazy to research, but I wish they would have done a run down on what happens now. Ok, so they sold the properties. I'm guessing it's some type of sale-leaseback arrangement? And, Hyatt built a new hotel in Seoul, Korea in 2019: Andaz brand. Who paid all the upfront costs? Is it some type of joint venture with a REIT? etc etc
    8
  1550. OMG. She's got one of those Korean cheap pots on the stove in the background.
    8
  1551. I had a job when I was 11. Geez, grow up dude. Kids are exposed to even more with internet. I only had books, magazines and newspapers at that age. Edit: just googled. It's a K-5 school. I stand corrected. And, depends on the class level.
    8
  1552.  @goldslinger  The same goes for printer ink. I have no idea how much goes into a printer cartridge. Lies, damned lies, and statistics.
    8
  1553. Totally confident and very normal person. She went in very casual clothes.
    8
  1554. You better learn Russian and Mandarin then.
    8
  1555. Literally on the Biden / Harris ticket. What is the VP's official constitutional duties? It's not hard. There are only 2 of them.
    8
  1556.  @piked261  In 2017, MBDA stated that nearly 3,000 Storm Shadow/SCALP air-launched missiles had been delivered to customers and that nearly 200 had been deployed. Some went to other countries than France / UK
    8
  1557. This happened organically. But, if I was a smaller company and I thought my product was great, I'd be sending free samples to these groups / blogs left and right.
    8
  1558. Man, that's a bit crazy. Klain has a deep resume. Started with Clinton '92. He's been involved with Dem politics every cycle. Just a weird blind spot.
    8
  1559.  @CountryKyle007  umm, because I had my own grouping of friends? And, would rather hang out with them. 4-5 years makes no difference when you are in your late 20s or 30s. It's a pretty big deal when you are 12.
    8
  1560. It’s basically playing Russian roulette (with better odds). No one has any idea how it will impact each individual.
    8
  1561. My whole life has been numbers. And, this video has way too many numbers for me. Should have been bar charts or something.
    8
  1562. She’s speaking in English. The Korean words may not have an exact translation. Settle down.
    8
  1563. I think you can separate the police in 3 categories: 1- performed admirably and risked their lives 2- worried about their safety and backed down 3- complicit and didn't care
    8
  1564. Not the perfect indicator, but getting the CCP housing price-income ratio in line with the US would be a -75% drop in price from the peak. (And, that doesn't account for the CCP oversupply issue vs the US is undersupplied.)
    8
  1565.  OM G  Beauty is all about marketing. Obviously, it's subjective. But, the mass appeal via Kpop and Kdramas is data that would refute your statement.
    8
  1566. Everything has been public.
    8
  1567. Never be the first to buy something from a new manufacturer. It's one thing when Apple decided to produce phones. Very similar to iPod / laptops. But, a phone company producing cars? Even the iPhones had major issues (not Apple's fault). Worked in downtown SF in a modern relatively low floor building and our phones didn't work in the building. It was comical.
    8
  1568. They are 20% of the entire GDP of Korea. And, this doesn't count the companies that were spun off.
    8
  1569. Things are way way different from the 1990s on birth searches. A few KADs have pushed for adoptee rights over the past decade or so. It's way more streamlined process. There is a organization called G.O.A.'L. founded / run by Korean adoptees located in Korea that helps with birth searches.
    8
  1570. Totally annoying. You don’t sit in someone else’s seat.
    8
  1571. I'm an idiot and I could have solved the housing crisis a decade ago. 1- true escrow accounts. None of this double dipping using prepayments as extra leverage 2- RE annual tax. The perverse incentives for local governments to keep selling land at higher prices would be mitigated somewhat. Housing costs soared because...local government were charging higher prices!
    8
  1572. 0:30 I don't even know Hyeri that well and she's recognizable with half a face.
    8
  1573. And from America, "Sorry World". We had a good run. Good luck to us all.
    7
  1574. +medinalba Please don't conflate issues. This guy was legally adopted by US citizens and should have automatically become a US citizen, but his adoptive parents fucked up the paperwork. While I have empathy for "Dreamers", it is a completely different issue.
    7
  1575. Different systems. In Japan / Korea, the parent(s) don't give up their parental rights if they go to foster care or an orphanage. These kids aren't available for adoption.
    7
  1576. That’s the fun part. It’s scaring the bleep out of people.
    7
  1577. You are an idiot and can't even google correctly.
    7
  1578. Yeap, because the dude doesn’t care about wealth.
    7
  1579. I like Sarah. She does good work with her focus groups. People don't pay a lot of time to politics though. The funny thing is that Shapiro looks like a coastal elite liberal. Walz doesn't even if they keep calling him that.
    7
  1580. lol, if you don't like your State, then move to a different one. Man, the arrogance of some people.
    7
  1581. Much easier to just get digital assets these days rather than carrying tons of gold.
    7
  1582. It’s literally a story on every major news source.
    7
  1583.  @melkor2024  Irony: a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects. Are there any positive PR pieces on chaebols? Most of the pieces are about their dominance and outsized and dangerous influence on the Korean economy.
    7
  1584. This is why it's harder for Dems to stay in power. Investments in people take time and aren't immediate unlike sugar high like tax cuts. It's unfortunate. Still am baffled how Gore didn't get elected though since Bubba presided over a total rebound in the economy while cutting the deficit. Even though now we realize a lot of policies were very problematic. Bubba had 4 straight years of more than 4% GDP growth in his last term.
    7
  1585. I would feel very confident in this guy was running part of any election. Very knowledgeable and well spoken.
    7
  1586. A progressive corporate tax would have made sense and saved us a lot of money.
    7
  1587. Ok, if any American accepts a scholarship from Iran, the State department is NOT getting involved in any hostage negotiations later.
    7
  1588. Sadly, these are same type of dudes committing mass shooting post-internet / social media.
    7
  1589. US building codes are time tested and have safety in mind.
    7
  1590. Kinda weird. Seems like the dude was given an opportunity to have a clean break from the old regime, but rather continue the old policies. They should look to Vietnam as the model. The 1 party government is still in control, but they have shifted to a more sustainable model for the people.
    7
  1591. Dude - it's 100% natural to comment on adoption stuff. I've been doing it for ages. Unscientifically, there is a dichotomy between male / female and finding their biological parents. Seems like it leans heavily towards the female side. Years ago, I had the same feelings about my biological family. Didn't care. Didn't want to meet them. And it was fun telling people that I was left on the street as a baby with my name and birthday in my pocket. While those were my feelings, my biological family searched out for me. Went to Korean Social Services then to the adoption agency and then to my adoptive parents. We never moved. Never changed our phone number, so it was very easy to contact my adoptive parents. It probably messed my life up a bit (the chaos of having another family), but it's pretty hard to avoid if it's placed in front of you. Korea is fun if you speak Korean. Much harder if you don't.
    7
  1592. They can boycott NVDA and buy AMD GPUs from the other Taiwan CEO, lol.
    7
  1593. The renewable slows crude growth. Global oil use is only up 2% over a 4 year period (2023 vs 2019). US oil production is weakening OPEC+ control on the pricing markets.
    7
  1594. My god. They are all Russian plants.
    7
  1595. lol, Donnie misses having power? Wait until he misses his freedom.
    7
  1596. It's a federal crime and they have multiple counts. It could be a life sentence if they charge them for every single count. Unlikely though.
    7
  1597. Dude was born in Fairfax, VA. And, went to Yale undergrad and Harvard MBA. What about you?
    7
  1598. No one is playing the soft power game better than ROK.
    7
  1599. Same level of confidence as South Africa electricity.
    7
  1600. Naw, happens all the time in America. Used to get the random, "oh you, speak English so well". WTF lady. It's my first language.
    7
  1601. umm, I've never heard of a sitting Governor talking up business for another State instead of their own.
    7
  1602. Not many have it. I think the inventor is from AZ. Has the most market penetration there.
    7
  1603. Theoretically, no money is being wasted except gas to and from the prison. They are all salaried employees. With that said, it’s slowing down the docket. More of opportunity time wasted.
    7
  1604. Need an energy / laser weapon. It's pretty clear now that cheap "missiles" can overwhelm any defense system.
    7
  1605. Welp. Obviously, the opposite is going to happen now.
    7
  1606. Ironic that the ex-KGB agent might fall due to lack of intel.
    7
  1607. Need to go back further. They forcefully and unnaturally pushed an economic cycle into a tighter window. Stuff breaks down eventually. Breakneck speed growth that is artificially is not healthy. Short version: the middle class never had time to develop. At least when the Japanese went through their asset bubble, they had 40+ years of industrial development over time.
    7
  1608. Did he use a teleprompter? Even so, he’s an extremely skilled public speaker.
    7
  1609. I really like the SNSD girls. But, honestly they aren’t the best looking girls from the idol groups.
    7
  1610. Yeah, at first I thought they were confirming that sub sinking. But, nope. It’s a 2nd sub.
    7
  1611. That's the hand that is dealt. The campaign needs to stop hitting their base (and never Trump Republicans). They need to grind PA MI WI vote by vote and start hitting alternative media sources.
    7
  1612.  @dontbanmebrodontbanme5403  YouTube is cranky and doesn't like lots of data / quotes: Jan Stephenson, who became the first woman to play on the Champions Tour on Friday, said Asians are "killing" the LPGA Tour and their numbers should be limited. And yeah, that's from 2003.
    7
  1613.  @howardmaryon  Dude - it's extremely practical. Bankruptcy would be a nightmare. The size of unfinished, pre-sold homes in China is about 20 times the size of developer Country Garden as of the end of 2022, Nomura analysts said. “We estimate that there are around 20 million units of unconstructed and delayed pre-sold homes,” the analysts said
    7
  1614. It's not the population size. It's the lack of density. Sure, there are large cities like NYC and Chicago. But, look at LA. It's so spread out. And, that goes for cities as well. There are 70 "cities" that have a population between 250K-1M people
    7
  1615. Realistically, it will take several generations for this to work. Hard for older people to accept that someone younger may be smarter than them. Also, a vast majority of the people protect their own position and possible promotions.
    7
  1616. lol, from a VOA article on early ‘24. A Shanghai resident who for privacy reasons only gave her surname Ms. Shi, takes the high-speed train to and from Hangzhou for work every week. She tells VOA that white-collar workers like herself who commute weekly can afford the high-speed rail. She notes that most passengers who take the high-speed rail daily are business travelers who are reimbursed by companies or government agencies for the cost.
    7
  1617. Amusingly, scientists say the dolphins expend less energy jumping out of the water than swimming.
    7
  1618. I think Seohyun would be a better fit for these roles. She’s younger and fits the innocent role perfectly.
    7
  1619. I had no idea it was the same dude from il mare. edit: nothing will ever replicate the success of Squid game. 3/4 of Netflix accounts viewed part of the series
    7
  1620. Seriously? We have no idea what else she is doing in her life. I was doing the same stuff as her at that age, but I liked learning. And, I liked working. She just needs to find other stuff in life to get interested in.
    7
  1621. The reality is the average Chinese citizen is going to suffer. Really suffer. The only solution would be "remove" Xi, allow Taiwan to be an independent country, stop the genocide of the Uyghurs. But, there is zero negative infinity chance of this happening. The CCP has chosen a path and now it's time to face the music on their own.
    7
  1622. Korea is still a pretty conservative society. Obviously, the younger generation is more open.
    7
  1623. Just because you are a lawyer doesn’t mean you know national security law. (There is a process for declassification. And, it’s not just verbal.)
    7
  1624. umm, sounds like way too much info revealed.
    7
  1625. Have you visited the orphanages? I have. The adult to child ratio is 10-1 or 15-1. In most cases, a single parent is better than an orphanage.
    7
  1626. I'm assuming this is sarcasm.
    7
  1627. Dude - obviously, the other way hasn't worked.
    7
  1628. If you look at RU Moscow defenses, it's a greater than 50% chance. Didn't see any heavy equipment. Just police and national guard with rifles. Didn't see any ATGMs either. They are severely outgunned. Wagner is transporting tanks and BTRs.
    7
  1629. This is shocking... Korea still has public phone booths? Honestly don't remember seeing any.
    7
  1630. uhh, not true. Knew a dude that dealt a lot of stuff. He did almost all his product occasionally.. Dude had the best drugs. Roommate would get huge chips of meth. I’d get big chunks of coke. But, his MDMA was the best. Powder form that he’d put into capsules. And, he got busted transporting weed while he was high.
    7

  1637.  @ronc9413  Again, like I said, it will destroy the industry. 50-50 agency spent $6M on their debut. So, the members can leave and reap all the benefits? That is industry killing. How an industry survive when any investment can be lost by people dissolving a written contract?

  1640.  @cobrakai3732  Not to sound too condescending, but it's because the average Chinese person doesn't play organized sports. Even a dumb high school jock in the US knows that a return from a soft tissue injury is all done by feel. And, trainers are way more cautious now. If something feels even a bit "off", they shut players down.

  1648. No, there are multiple versions of the ATACMS. UA received the shorter range (100 mile) cluster munitions missiles. Very effective for anti-material over a wide area. Very ineffective in destroying a large object. Basically, it’s the stuff the US military would never use and pretty old. Manufacture dates were the ‘90s. Edit: From the Politico article - It was mid-July, and national security adviser Jake Sullivan was worried. Ukrainian forces were struggling to penetrate Russian front lines in a slow-moving counteroffensive, and time was running out to retake significant territory before a renewed Russian offensive in the fall. Sullivan told his team to come up with options for additional weapons the U.S. could send to Kyiv that could help Ukrainian forces hit vulnerable targets deep inside Russia’s defensive lines. Working together, the Pentagon, the State Department and the National Security Council staff came up with an idea. While the U.S. military’s existing stocks of the long-range Army Tactical Missile System were in short supply, the U.S. could send the medium-range version, carrying warheads containing hundreds of cluster bomblets that could hit targets 100 miles away. The administration’s move to send the Anti-Personnel/Anti-Materiel, or APAM, an older version of the ATACMS that Ukraine had long sought, was kept secret for weeks after President Joe Biden made the final call, according to two U.S officials familiar with the discussions

Probably need to have at least $500K+ liquid to feel comfortable. Closer to $1M makes more sense. Income is definitely relative.

  1661. It's a zoning issue and infrastructure issue. Churches have limited hours of operations. Mosques (see Daegu) have 24-7 hours of operations. Plus, the town isn't setup for tons of people to be visiting that area. Muslims in US cities do it right. They had their mosque in a high traffic area near the bars where I'd go and late night drink. A lot of the cab drivers would go and pray, but there was no disturbance to the public since the mosque was in an area large amounts of people.

The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.

  1713. Japan foreign residents are now 2.5% of the population. Korea is 4.5%. CCP China would need to import 35M-65M people to achieve the same percentages. lol, that's a whole country. Japan and Korea easily can import labor to help offset some of the decline. Not ideal, but still helps. And, what foreign workers would pick CCP China over Japan / Korea?

  1735. 1- actually it has been going steadily higher. I'm using FRED history and it aggregates it at the annual level which is a bit weird. Months have be compared with each year's same month for seasonality purposes. Too lazy to find month data. 2019: 10.7% 2020: 12.7% 2021: 12.4% 2022: 13.2% 2- Likely, but not necessarily it means companies went bust. The "Youth" age bucket is defined as 16-24. But, its tilted heavily towards the 22-24 age bucket (people that graduated from college). In theory, if all companies froze hiring in 2023, it could push the rate higher. 3- But, I agree with you. It's likely a combination of factors.

  1736. Korean drama have a weird way of making you get so angry at the characters. Weirdly, American TV has never hooked me like that.

  1750. The odd part is Korea really f'd up the English skills part. Everyone learns it from elementary school, but no one is actually fluent. All my cousins in Korea can barely speak English. Can't make a global presence without English speaking workers. I'm pretty sure this is why Korean firms don't tap US markets for capital (stock market). You need a ton more English proficient workers to do this. (Kpop is more the exception since the founders lived in the States.)

  1769.  @davidjacobs8558  Many adoptees have met our birth families. I have a full blood related brother and sister. My Korean family paid for my plane ticket for our first meeting in Korea. Eventually, my brother and sister visited the states. They stayed with me for a week in the city that I lived and then we went to NYC to visit my Korean cousins for a week (yes, I have Korean relatives in the states). My sister was in a gap period and I invited her to live with me for 3 months. Yeah, it got weird after a while, but I don't regret it. I've been to Korea 10+ times and lived in Korea for a year. While my story is unique, it's not impossible. While I don't have a close relationship with my parents, I adore my little sister. I recently visited my Korean parents because they are getting old and wanted to make sure I saw them one last time. I'm glad I went the first time because I got to meet my grandmother and grandfather (Mom's family). They were in their 80s, but I got to see my grandmother before she died. She was a tough old woman who still went to the market, cooked and smoked into her 80s. My Dad's grandmother is still alive and is in her 90s.

  1770. ​@kyunw96 Did you watch the video? Pieces on chaebols generally talk about outsized impacts, risks and being "untouchable" in Korea. Very few of the pieces highlight that these same companies offer workers the best salaries / benefits and opportunities to advance. If these were domestic only brands, it's unlikely the spread in pay would be that great. But, they are global brands. Very deep pockets. Also, those deep pockets put a stranglehold on the local market and to a degree stops entrepreneurship. I think WMT does the most revenue in the US. It's the equivalent of 2% of the US GDP. Samsung (and legacy now spunoff brands) represent the equivalent of 25% of the Korea's GDP.

  1774. Just searched for it. At least be accurate. The dude got 6 years. And if you read between the lines, the guy likely turned and gave up people for the plea agreement. Or, it looks like sentences are "relatively" light. They jump to 20+ years if someone overdoses and dies.

  1776. Everyone uses a prompter, but sure feels like he isn't. And, it almost sounds like he wrote his own speech (which he likely didn't).
    6
  1777. My god. Taylor Greene would be the gift from the heavens. Even Donnie ain't that stupid.
    6
  1778. Oddly, the LA Bank Robbery Shootout popped in my head. Swat dudes rolled up on the suspect and just came out guns blazing. Training should have kicked in for these guys. 1 person breach the door and 3 dudes make the entry. Not that complicated. Standard room clearing tactic.
    6
  1779. MPs f'd up. The line isn't that long and they should of waited to see if he got through the security part. (I could be completely wrong if he went to the customs and then lied about losing his passport.)
    6
  1780. Hindsight is 20-20, but it was the US most strategic economic blunder getting entangled with China. Should have always been focused on Korea, Japan and SE Asia.
    6
  1781. Ted did some horrible things and drank way too much. But, how does any person deal with losing all your brothers at an early age w/ 2 of them being assassinated?
    6
  1782. Just Googled. This mother f-er has been out on bail for 4 years and still no trial.
    6
  1783.  @rabidgoon  I feel bad for people that go down the wrong path. She got caught up in a crazy world and didn't have someone to tell her she was doing stupid stuff. I've done some really dumb things in my life too. My brother is a Trump guy. He's ex-special forces, but he would never do something as stupid as this either.
    6
  1784. Less Russian and Chinese money out there.
    6
  1785. This isn't Lehman. It's way more Japan than the US.
    6
  1786. It wasn’t communicated to the media. It was uploaded in the PACER system attached to the brief response.
    6
  1787. No YouTube back then. Maybe you caught a trailer from a prior movie or an ad on TV. Mostly, we’d just go in cold to a movie without any background.
    6
  1788. Were they dealing fentanyl via books? Man, would never live in TX.
    6
  1789.  Nicholas Payne  The carotid arteries are on the side of the neck. All well known choke holds put pressure on the side of your neck. Blood = oxygen to the brain. No blood to the brain. You are dead fast.
    6
  1790. JFC. Wouldn't even go to a doctor in China much less a fly by night operation outside of China run by some random couple.
    6
  1791. Too expensive to maintain. I doubt anyone is still making the parts. Plus, any technical expert has long since retired and or died.
    6
  1792.  @firefly4784  Dude - use your brain. They ain't examining small cracks in buildings 1 day later.
    6
  1793. Maybe not pennies, but more like 100 rubles per passenger.
    6
  1794. Listening to the video is giving me a headache. There is so much incestous business between the government and the companies owned by the local governments / state governments. You'd have to map it out to see what is actually happening and who is getting the benefits. And, where the money is coming from.
    6
  1795. That ship has sailed. Any anti-vax person that survived has definitely tripled down. They will think they are invincible.
    6
  1796. SF has the best year round sleeping weather. Fog has some advantages.
    6
  1797. I'd trust my money and my life with my sister. Zero chance with my brother though.
    6
  1798. Vox does excellent work explaining things in layman terms.
    6
  1799. The VP isn't supposed to do anything.
    6
  1800. Phones have lessen people's general awareness. That's a tough situation though since it's a bit dark.
    6
  1801. Naw, technology has nothing to do with culture. Just because people use "computers" more has no bearing on how societal rules are informally set.
    6
  1802. The birth rate is striking to me. Even though they were lower middle class, they had 3 kids. I'm guessing this was filmed in the 2000s, so they are late 70s / 80s kids.
    6
  1803. ugh, don't want the Frank Luntz voodoo hex.
    6
  1804. Have to be really aggressive and sharp to survive the shift to online. In the US, basically only Dick's Sporting Goods has survived. Foot Locker is still afloat, but always struggling. Sports Authority, Modell's, etc all went bankrupt.
    6
  1805. This is dumb. We couldn't pass the TPP trade deal, but we want to a huge military alliance.
    6
  1806. Xi is a teenage boy playing Sim City...very badly.
    6
  1807. People don't realize how conservative a country Korea is. And, it was a dictatorship (military) until the '80s. While the US was going through counter-culture in the 1950-60s, Korea was trying to survive and in poverty.
    6
  1808. lol, defund the FBI still?
    6
  1809.  @CanMav  Yeap, people like to make silly comparisons: ie US growth is only 2-3% vs China's "whatever fake data GDP". If the US GDP is growing at 5%, something serious went wrong or is going to break down. (Michael Pettis has been talking about China's forced growth for a while now.)
    6
  1810. Family is putting in extra time to help Korea's fertility rate. This reminds of the Arabic phrase, "Abu el Banat". It means "father of daughters", but the idiom really refers to "simultaneously joy and complete pleasure, with a subtle undertone of contented resignation".
    6
  1811.  @kerinwills  Hey! Instead of babbling comments, why don't you at least read the Wiki entry on this case. It's like you know zero about it and keep commenting.
    6
  1812. Not a fan of their music, but I have to applaud them for their success. No blowups. Seem like genuinely nice dudes. And, maintaining a high level over 3+ years now.
    6
  1813. Different purposes. Bradley getting replaced though, so we have more quantities. Power supply not enough to field new weapons.
    6
  1814. Yeah, not sure if this is a good thing.
    6
  1815. Come on dude. Large economies are compared with other large economies. Kenya should be compared to healthy economies who have a lower GDP number.
    6
  1816. Nothing says lets join a union of countries like creating conflicts with other countries.
    6
  1817. Luxury cars are the extreme end of the spectrum of discretionary purchases. But, it’s still an example. The biggest worry are the shops and restaurants. Becomes a death spiral if commercial real estate shuts down.
    6
  1818.  @phoenixkwon  I'd say it's small chance he'll get life, but he's not going to get 5 years either. The guy that randomly assaulted a woman with a kick got 20 years. My guess will be 25-30 years. It's harder these days for the courts to escape public opinion.
    6
  1819.  @ronarnett4811  1- There is a cost sharing agreement with South Korea 2- US military bases in ROK are strategically important (for the US) 3- The US military acts as a de facto human shield. If we had a military base in Taiwan, zero chance the CCP is invading (well very small chance)
    6
  1820.  @seangallagher1268  If someone was part of the gay community, the gay / AIDS jokes weren't funny.
    6
  1821. I could be high on drugs for a week and come up with a better murder coverup.
    6
  1822. I was not pro-Israel before the terrorist attack. But, sure seems really hard to advocate for Israel to show restraint. Normally, a "proportional response" is the standard playbook. Have no idea how to define proportional response to the terrorist attack.
    6
  1823. lol, not classic. Usually doesn’t end up with murder.
    6
  1824. This is why I don't fault the Fed for overshooting with QE and rates. Letting an economy stall for an extended period of time is dangerous. CCP China has never recovered from 2022 lockdowns.
    6
  1825. Data centers are way overhyped for economies. The main investment isn’t the facilities or employees. The hardware is the biggest investment which are foreign components.
    6
  1826. It's a win-win. They are getting 20x the income than their home country. Even with the cost of living differences, they can save a lot of money.
    6
  1827. I hope 23 never retires. Can't replace experienced NCOs.
    6
  1828. Pretty crazy that I have zero recollection of this and I grew up in Maryland.
    6
  1829.  @LittleRadicalThinker  lol, technically there are 2 types of fiber. One, attracts water (makes your poop soft) and the other creates volume in your poop and cleans the system out.
    6
  1830. US isn't a great example. Japan / EU is a pretty good benchmark
    6
  1831. Do you know who is the largest oil producer in the world? It's not the Saudis. Our alliance with the Saudis isn't about oil anymore. Get with the times. We've had 20+ years to learn about the ME. Some of us obviously have learned anything.
    6
  1832.  @mtngr1  They literally did TV interviews refuting the stupid conspiracy theories. THEY PRODUCE A PAPER BALLOT. Not one person who looked at their paper ballot claimed their vote was changed by the machine on Election Day. Fucking idiots.
    6
  1833. The combination of mobility and cheap ammo makes the Gepard ideal.
    6
  1834. SKY is the top. But, still a good school.
    6
  1835. 1968: GOP 8 years 1976: Dems 4 years 1980: GOP 12 years 1992: Dems 8 years 2000: GOP 8 years 2008: Dems 8 years 2016: GOP 4 years People need to realize that your party isn't going to win all the time. And, go about their own lives regardless what happens politically.
    6
  1836.  @anjunadeep.8384  Fine dude. Move to Bangladesh or Africa then. People will complain about everything.
    6
  1837. Like most things in life, situations are nuanced. Seems like Jon was in a no-win situation.
    6
  1838. Germany and Japan. That’s the last time nation building worked with an enemy. And, we pummeled them to submission and invested decades of time and money to rebuild both countries.
    6
  1839.  @ronc9413  Disagree with what facts? It costs around $100K per year per trainee in the big companies. Putting an album out costs $1-2M out for a debut. Not all trainees debut and are a sunk cost. Obviously, you've thought about this very little from a numerical perspective. Kpop is basically like MLB (baseball). You have a ton of possibles that you pay for and need to have cost control for their first 7 years to break even / make a profit. Let's say you have a 5 per group that only trained for 4 years. That's $2M that you need to make back just to break even for them. That doesn't count the other people that never debuted. Sounds like you don't understand how Kpop companies operate.
    6
  1840. I've known a lot of fob Koreans in the US. And, my cousins still live in Korea. That dude is not a native Korean English speaker.
    6
  1841. Man, my people are good at some unusual things: golf, curling, volleyball, ice skating...
    6
  1842. It's a silly argument about Americans. Having a mixture of people concerned about different issues is a positive for society. Likely more Americans care about lost pets / animal treatment than the foster care system.
    6
  1843. You are nuts. There have been a million stories about this dude.
    6
  1844. Lol, you think CCP China is organic farming? 🤣🤣🤣 Tell me you’ve never been to the US without saying it. I’ve driven the I-80. It’s boring and flat for 2 days straight drive. It’s all farmland.
    6
  1845. Well, guess he owned the libs.
    6
  1846. I was in 4th grade. My friend and I were using computers and BBS (pre-easy internet). I think we had visions of hacking something similar to the movie, WarGames. And, then going to the library and playing little league sports.
    6
  1847. The enemy of my enemy is not my friend. These are not the good guys.
    6
  1848. If you are sick, wearing a mask makes sense. Your body has an immune system. Let it do it’s job. Eat well, get sleep, exercise etc. your body can do the rest.
    6
  1849. This is why Korean only portals are slowly declining: makes more sense to use the global ones.
    6
  1850. Not sure how their room is setup, but some places have to shut off the AC because the noise interferes with the sound.
    6
  1851. Geez, the R73 is really really old Soviet tech. Must have just been hanging out in a warehouse and UA was just experimenting on practical use.
    6
  1852. Seems fair. My only quibble is my spidey sense always goes off with expensive construction projects. They are famously fraught with corruption and skimming.
    6
  1853. There is a NYT article that explains all of this. Gorbachev himself said NATO expansion was not a topic.
    6
  1854.  @srj607able  Indonesia has been their new growth area since they shifted out of China.
    6
  1855. lol, I had a well reasoned comment about UST and it got shadowbanned (invisible). And, all the bot comments get through the AI censors. Makes you question the AI capabilities of big tech. Got posted after a weird delay.
    6
  1856. Prosecutors aren't in the hospital room with him, but there likely is "paperwork". The hospital probably charged him and / or the paperwork is noted with those quantities. Might be one of those things that you use partially and throw away if it's an IV drip.
    6
  1857. Let freedom ring!
    6
  1858. She got hit by the car (truck). Almost like a PIT from the front.
    6
  1859. Fellow Americans: don't go to hostile foreign nations.
    6
  1860. This is what we did…in one of my advanced Finance courses in college. We didn’t have a text book and would just have discussions of real world happenings. We were required to get a subscription to the WSJ.
    6
  1861. Everyone has stereotypes imbedded into their background. Not everyone is racist though.
    6
  1862. Well, that's one way to expedite changes in the laws about crimes and juveniles. Side note: she used to be a broadcaster for MBC hence the "top tier" visuals for a 40 year old.
    6
  1863. A lot of the old days was "ignorance is bliss" or "out of sight. out of mind." There was a very limited slice of information available back then. That's why lives seemed more idyllic.
    6
  1864. No one has air dominance with short range drones now.
    6
  1865. So overblown. This changing Speaker thing is very common. Wait, Mike Johnson would be the shortest tenure since the 1800s when there was a Speaker for only 1 day. And, Kevin McCarthy has the 3rd shortest tenure as Speaker.
    6
  1866. Always thought we (the US) should load up doctored and fake schematics of some our advanced weaponry on a few servers and let the Chinese hack and steal them.
    6
  1867. Our suburb had an outdoor community pool. Also, there were a few lake camping places we would go in the summer. I’m a terrible swimmer as I expend energy inefficiently. But, I think I started learning around age 5 or 6. I vaguely remember the lessons where I’d hang onto the edge and mimic turning my head in and out of the water + practicing the leg motion. We didn’t have a pool at high school. I doubt Chinese people have pools available for the public easily in cities.
    6
  1868. Dude - this is was Ezra does. It's always an hour.
    6
  1869. Religion is doing it's rightful and intended task: distract and control the masses while the people in power keep on getting rich and staying in power.
    6
  1870. Pretty amusing when I was a department head. My hires were weighted towards the same religion as the CEO (were referrals) and Asians (I'm Asian, but really a white suburban kid from the East Coast). From an outsiders standpoint, it would look really weird. In reality, we tried to get the best fit. I'd hire anyone. But, I can see how biases can inadvertently creep in. At one point, 2 out of the 3.5 my direct reports at that time were Asian females. Edit: I was the only minority out of 20ish department heads though. Don't think it was "intentional" though.
    6
  1871.  @docholiday2795  I'm ethnically Korean and grew up in Baltimore. I have a Baltimore accent which I repress. Also, I can speak like a local person that lives in Hawaii which I repress. Most of the time, I sound like a white person with a plain American accent.
    6
  1872. Guns are banned in that zone.
    6
  1873.  @Bobby3-x4u  You must be in your 20s. The West played a much better game during the cold war. And, was way more aggressive in 2 way "spycraft" or covert warfare.
    6
  1874. Qin was invited for tea, lol.
    6
  1875. Fun fact: Boston Dynamics was sold to Hyundai (Korean company).
    6
  1876. They literally propped the RE market up in 2008. And, 2016. They turbocharged the RE market. You need to look at a stock chart for the HK index or the SSE. 15 years and no gains.
    6
  1877. The dude is busy training and raising a family. English is probably low on the list.
    6
  1878. Same. Was chased by a dog as kid. Never got over it. We had a cat and fish only in our house.
    6
  1879. Dasom seems like a very cool girlfriend.
    6
  1880.  @colechapman6976  "Generally" dude. Back in 2000, I visited my cousins and they had cellphones (in Korea, they were called handphone) that were able to play multiple different games and play music. And, they had much faster flat screen TV adoption. I was like WTF is going on. Also, lived in Korea in 2013 for a year. And, the mobile network speed was 3x faster than the US back then.
    6
  1881.  @averyrosario466  Dude - you realize that native Jamaica population looked like the Incas / native Americans right? And, 2 million slaves from Africa were sent to Jamaica. Did you fail history class?
    6
  1882. Most bubbles pop like a balloon. This will more feel like a slow leak in a tire. The pain will be felt for many years to come.
    6
  1883. lol, no way. That's around 10% of the population or 1 out of every 10 people. That's impossible not to "feel" it.
    6
  1884.  @Johanneslol11  Gotcha. Yeah, saw the air mattress fiasco earlier. It's a tough decision. In the US, you are taught to block doors airways with towels and get low. Basically, it's a bet that you can survive until the fire department arrives. The other option is to military crawl to a exit, but could be deadly not knowing the fire origination.
    6
  1885. “Negative, Ghost Rider, the pattern is full.”
    6
  1886. The biggest difference I've noticed is how the new generations have grown. First visited Korea in the early '00s. I'm 5' 10" and felt more tallish than average. In the States, I felt more average to shortish. (Except, don't go to the upper Midwest. I felt like a midget visiting Chicago.) The last few times at the airport (2019) I felt pretty average. Lots of dudes were way taller than me as well.
    6
  1887. Cut my teeth in the corporate retail offices and that's the bulk of my experience. Irks the heck of out me that US retailers go through multiple rounds of safety / materials testing and somehow these products flow into the US without the same requirements on these online platforms: Chinese owned or even Amazon.
    6
  1888.  @wondertyzipp8260  I'm ethnically Korean. Yeah, I think my life in the US (and my relatives lives in South Korea) is a "bit" better than living under the North Korean regime. Fun fact: South Koreans are taller and have a longer life span than North Koreans.
    6
  1889. Look up the SSE index (Shanghai). It's at the same spot as...2009. 15 years and their stock market has gone nowhere. It's like the XBI sector (biotechs) which hasn't moved since 2015.
    6
  1890. Holy hell. There is a reddit sub called the HermanCainAward. It’s littered with these stories. Edit: And, its all shit they bragged about on FB. Anti-vax and other right wing crap. The punchline comes at the end: death. Man, FB is such a cesspool.
    6
  1891. That's why this will never get solved. No one will make a deal that hurts each side. It's all or nothing for both sides.
    6
  1892. This isn’t true. The younger generation is way more lax since it’s our grandparents generation and older than were impacted by this.
    6
  1893. umm, going to say the controversial part: falling that hard can rupture breast implants.
    6
  1894. Someone offered to get me into FB pre-IPO back in 2010 in a VIE structure. Asked one of the lawyers at work to look at the paperwork, but they were too busy. I passed because I didn’t know enough about it. Just takes common sense.
    6
  1895.  @benfoot4212  It's available in the Philippines, lol.
    6
  1896. Dude - it’s driven by corruption and self interest.
    6
  1897. Depending on the data, Korea has 3-5% of their population of foreign workers. Japan is around 2.5%. Both countries can absorb 2-3x over time. Both countries offer high incomes to foreign workers to make it attractive. China has it much worse. You can't import 50M+ workers to China. And even if they could, the pay isn't attractive.
    6
  1898. How the fuck else are we supposed to measure it? Man, people are geniuses.
    6
  1899. Come on Kamala. Go on Hot Ones.
    6
  1900. They've used them previously.
    6
  1901. Rape is considered rape. Assault is considered assault. I hope you don’t have daughters later with that attitude.
    6
  1902. We are overstating how important the Javelin is. Can't be used in urban areas and can't be used even if there are trees. Basically, it's good in a big open field. They need more advanced weapons systems like air defense, cruise missiles, tanks and planes.
    6
  1903. You realize the US will go into a recession if those tariffs are enacted right?
    6
  1904. Dude has quite the history. In October 2014, Skaff was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol while in Morgantown to attend a West Virginia Mountaineers football game. In 2015, Skaff was placed on the statewide casino ban list after pleading no contest to cheating while playing blackjack at the Greenbrier resort.
    6
  1905. WTF? What about her adopted sister? And her biological siblings??? I feel so unsatisfied with the ending. Haha, I cried more about this video than when I’ve been with my biological family.
    6
  1906. Their down payment system was pretty hefty. Allowed for "a lot" of room for banks. It cushions the blow some, but once prices started to sink below -30%, a lot of condos went into negative equity.
    6
  1907. Sick of these "selfish" Chinese protests. They only get all uppity when it directly impacts them. Real protests are off moral grounds and / or helping out others (even though you are unaffected).
    6
  1908. That’s a feature not a bug. Some of us like the closed system. Don’t want to get hacked and have to worry about spotty performance.
    6
  1909. Cat definitely needs shelves and bridges high up. And, a cat scratcher that it can climb up to the shelves and bridges.
    6
  1910.  @masterlightjames950  Huh? This is the 21st century. You realize that equipment was relatively new back then since the Shah bought US equipment in the '70s. (Not going to discuss Iran-Contra either.)
    6
  1911. @spartacusnow It's a rounding error compared to the F-35.
    6
  1912. The enemy of my enemy is not my friend.
    6
  1913. It’s a weird Korean “pub” thing. Drinking spots where they serve a limited selection of food.
    6
  1914. That seems really low. 350 cars at $30,000 is $7.6M.
    6
  1915. Normal citizens don’t realize something: higher wages for public workers = higher taxes.
    6
  1916. They have 286% debt to GDP. What the heck happens when GDP starts going lower? It's extremely hard to grow GDP if your population is plummeting.
    6
  1917. Sure feels like JD Vance is saying that 18 year old's vote should count more than someone 80 years old.
    6
  1918. @NikolaNeshev8814 No one wants an all things app. And if they do, it's going to be Apple.
    6
  1919. 200K is small for US standards. Bakersfield is 2x that.
    6
  1920.  @Worldaffairslover  Anyone that grew up in a major city / major suburb will say its small. And, people that didn't will say the opposite. These are all comparable cities in the US. Starts with after 100th biggest and goes smaller: Rochester; New York Richmond; Virginia Spokane; Washington Des Moines; Iowa Montgomery; Alabama Modesto; California Fayetteville; North Carolina Tacoma; Washington Shreveport; Louisiana Fontana; California Oxnard; California Aurora; Illinois Moreno Valley; California Akron; Ohio Yonkers; New York Columbus; Georgia Augusta-Richmond; Georgia Little Rock; Arkansas Amarillo; Texas Mobile; Alabama

  1921. The meat makes sense because people are cutting back on the budgets. No idea about the vegetables. More people have died than having babies, but it shouldn't be that sudden. Could just be poor planning.
    6
  1922. Total nonsense. Worked for a retailer in the corporate offices for a long time. We had to test every single one of our products and were financially liable if we didn't. These "apps" are skirting the safety rules and regulations that standard businesses have to follow.
    6
  1923.  @viaini.niaivi  Politely, you sound like a crazy person. Ain't worth my time. Have a good weekend.
    6
  1924.  @berthaadamson1225  It's mind boggling to me. Generally, the Kennedy's have tried to live in service of others with good causes (obviously, a lot of controversies). Trump and his ilk are the total opposite value set.
    6
  1925. He's adopted. Likely, didn't grow up with many Koreans around.
    6
  1926. I'm going to assume they were flying a Chinese airline. Usually, they would have a mandarin speaking employee to assist. Not sure what speaking in English accomplishes. Plus, wouldn't Arabic be more appropriated? lol. Also, I've flown international a lot. If your flight has issues, it's never an easy fix and be prepared to wait. Can't imagine there is more than 1 flight daily from SA to China per airline.

  1927.  @districtx8718  The Big Bang Theory cast was making...$1M per episode. I betcha half of America has no idea who they are. And they will make residual income. Shit like this doesn't happen in Korea. The top celebrities only make money if they have CFs. They can't do it on acting alone.
    6
  1928. I think Apink is the longest current female group now. They certainly are consistent. They put out new music every year and tour.
    6
  1929. In the US, it's been about birth control and "liberal" religion. US used to have a lot of Catholics that had huge families.
    6
  1930.  @brandon3525  Worst attempt of a "gotcha" moment. But if you must know my eating habits: mostly eggs, soy (tofu) and protein shakes for protein. Occasionally fish, chicken, pork, red meat. I haven't had a hamburger / cheeseburger in probably 3 months.
    6
  1931.  @OneShadow7  Stop spreading lies. The EIA publishes the data. I just looked at the data within the last 6 months. You have no clue.
    6
  1932. When I was younger, I would drink too much and throw up. This continued into my mid-20s. Then, something weird happened. I stopped throwing up and started blacking out if I drank hard alcohol. I could drink beer all night and not lose my memory. As soon as I started taking shots, I knew I'd lose my memory. (I'm not defending him.)
    6
  1933. Yeah, this is pretty dumb. You need to make sure the professional army is retained.
    6
  1934. It's Bayview. SF is a really small city and I haven't even driven through this neighborhood EVER. But this is child's play compared to parts of Baltimore (my old hometown).
    6
  1935. Took my relative to DC many years ago (grew up in Baltimore), but lived on the West Coast. We were staying in Georgetown and wanted something to eat late at night. Had to put up with the drunk people, but the most jarring part was people throwing peanut shells on the ground. Was above average burger, but no way am I waiting overnight for it.
    6
  1936. Dude is 81. Finished his residency in '68. He served under widely different POTUS admins. The politicization of non-political things is a shame. Reminds of my old professor in college that worked in the Treasury Dept during the depression. Tough old birds. Not much fazes them.
    6
  1937. wait, they still have to do 544 hours of volunteer work? That's like 3.5 months of straight volunteer work using 40 hour weeks. (I'm guess "volunteer work" is probably very loosely defined.)
    6
  1938. Definitely one of the better attributes of western made vehicles. We want our dudes to come home safe.
    6
  1939. lol, sounds like he was stealing from the Union. Someone within the union turned him in then.
    6
  1940. Willie Brown was an excellent mayor of SF. So was Gavin.
    6
  1941. Person, woman…man, camera…TV.
    6
  1942. Protecting high paying living wage local jobs qualifies as "politically motivated"? That's a weird way to put it.
    6
  1943. It's tough. Obviously, as an adult now, I would do the right thing. Thinking back at my teenage years, I'm not so sure. All my high school friends were from middle school and I actually lived with my one friend for part of my senior year in high school. My guess it would be more of a passive intervention.
    6
  1944. Dude - they couldn’t hold Kherson. You realize Odesa is west of Kherson right?
    6
  1945. lol, the older dude is the only one that had a rational reason.
    6
  1946. The dude didn't plan hours before to kill someone.
    6
  1947. lol, Europeans speak multiple languages. God, please don’t say you are an American.
    6
  1948. lol, China's Navy can't even make it to the Middle East.
    6
  1949. What a terrible comparison. No draft. No real troops on the ground.
    6
  1950. Side note: that camera angle was weird or the reporter is huge. The Kyiv mayor is an ex-heavyweight boxing cham.
    6
  1951. One thing is for certain: GOP operatives do attack ads way better than the Dems.
    6
  1952. Not even going to comment on construction quality. Building a lot of infrastructure sounds great, but if it's not necessary or efficiently used, it's a total drag. Heard this was a toll road. Remember, all this infrastructure needs to me monitored and maintained.
    6
  1953. Dude definitely has a sense of adventure. No immigration officers. Just traveling by random taxis.
    6
  1954. 3:19 The chart highlights the first tier cities of price to income. Sure, that's an issue, but doesn't show the whole problem. The problem is that 2nd, 3rd and even some 4th tier cities had a higher price to income ratio than large western cities.
    6
  1955. Coffee is up there as well. Basically just injecting caffeine.
    6
  1956. It's kleptocracy. Not capitalism. Brazil and India a bit more towards capitalism. The others are just a mess.
    6
  1957. lol, Nancy never had to horse trade to get voted as Speaker.
    6
  1958. I guess a speech could interest me in a candidate, but don’t think it would ever matter for voting purposes. But, everyone is different.
    6
  1959. Lived in Korea in the mid-2010s, but was first visit was early 2000s. For a guy, it was extremely safe. Even for girls, it seemed pretty safe. My relatives live right next to Inha Uni and major crime is extremely low.
    6
  1960. It's pretty easy to do a cash flow analysis on investment properties. CCP China was only looking at the cap gains increase. The West looks at cash flow.
    6
  1961. lol, you think companies pay higher salaries when prices are falling? Keep the same amount of workers. Deflation is a death spiral.
    6
  1962. lol, some golfer made a "Fried Chicken" comment when Tiger was in the beginning of his run. Edit: ok, Sam mentioned it.
    6
  1963. I’m adopted too. Although, I moved to Hawaii for college and hung around some fobby Koreans there. Also, worked part-time in a Korean restaurant that catered to Japanese peeps. I learned cooking through Maanchi. My flavor preferences are a bit different than the recipes, but making small changes is pretty easy.
    6
  1964. Korea did it perfectly. - In 2000, Gimpo airport had 36M passengers - In 2001, the new Incheon airport had 14.5M and Gimpo had 22M - Incheon steadily increased to 33M by 2010 - Gimpo leveled out around 13M, but then started to increase again to 17.5M by 2010 - In 2019, Gimpo airport was at 24.5M - In 2019, Incheon was at 71M 20 years after Korea built another airport, they went to almost 3x as many passengers. Also, they built Incheon airport in multiple phases. They are on their 3rd expansion.
    6
  1965. The Maria Bartiromo vs Erin Burnett dichotomy is fascinating. Burnett left CNBC in 2011 and became a normal journalist. Bartiromo left CNBC in 2013 and went full wacko.
    6
  1966. Why do people lie so blatantly when its so easy to disprove? - Armenia asks Moscow for help amid Nagorno-Karabakh fighting Published 6:47 AM EDT, October 31, 2020 - Armenia asks Russia for help after border clash with Azerbaijan Published on 17/11/2021 - Armenia asks Putin to act to end isolation of Karabakh enclave January 31, 202312:21 PM EST
    6
  1967. JFC. Are you like 2 years old? This has been the most extensively covered missing plane ever.
    6
  1968. Too lazy to read the transcript. But, sometimes code words are used in case you get caught / someone else reads it.
    6
  1969.  @frankkobold  Evergrande has been essentially bankrupt for 2 years. Any western company would have been in bankruptcy. Realistically, this is just the inevitable next step. Not much will come of it. The more important slice is the onshore debt. Evergrande owes to local investors / banks, but more importantly owes to local vendors and individual property owners. They haven't received payment for past services or condos haven't been turned over to individual buyers. The CCP will drag their feet on the onshore debt. I don't think it will get resolved for the next 5+ years. The CCP is stubbornly refusing to do a stimulus package and bailouts.
    6
  1970. They had equipment, but doesn't sound like they were trained on it (yikes). Flotation equipment that was properly maintained, working well and used correctly would have been able to keep them afloat until they were rescued, the report said. Other team members told investigators that while they knew the importance of their tactical flotation system — which includes two inflatable floats that attach to a belt and foam inserts that can be added — few had ever operated one in training and there is little instruction on how to wear it.
    6
  1971. lol, how the heck could China claim territorial rights that far south?
    6
  1972. What happened to personal responsibility?
    6
  1973. Yeah, large structures that aren’t maintained vigorously have an expiration date.
    6
  1974. The dude was scandal ridden with 1MDB. Maybe GST has some impact, but I'd imagine he would have survived if GST was the only issue.
    6
  1975. I was shocked to see the data on how few Chinese pay income tax. It’s <5% of people. Then, I realize they have to keep salaries artificially low for manufacturing. But, the government still needs to squeeze people so a regressive high VAT is used. I imagine Indonesia is in the same situation.
    6
  1976. Will be decided by less than 10K votes. Pretty nuts.
    6
  1977. Just enact the same safety testing procedures that US companies have to follow and none of these products pass. Then, test their products and start fining the platform.
    6
  1978. If you visit Korea, the crosswalk buttons aren't for traffic lights, its for visually impaired people. I think I did that for months before randomly seeing it on the internet.
    6
  1979. While the rainfall is bad, it's really their poor decision making in the building of dams. They are terrible planners.
    6
  1980. Unfortunately, this dude was a bit naïve. Had a long career at Boeing, so probably very book smart. You can't live in an isolated area by yourself without a weapon and your spidey sense on high alert.
    6
  1981. That's how a settlement works. They settled the lawsuit and he stopped payments.
    6
  1982. The biggest miss for Korea is not having dual listings on the US market.
    6
  1983. Yeap, that's exactly what you should do. Go with the flow. Then, swim parallel back to where the waves are breaking and swim back. I think people panic and get gassed out.
    6
  1984. Not a fan of "planned" economies, but geez. You can't go full capitalist mode on the advanced education and not go full capitalist mode on your economy. These colleges are ripping kids off.
    6
  1985. Dude - stop. Korea has zero labor supply excess. Korean companies have no issues with manufacturing out of the country.
    6
  1986. Biden was on the ballot. I'm assuming you voted for him.
    6
  1987. In the US, you can just claim bankruptcy. Your credit sucks for 7 years, but no biggie.
    6
  1988. Dude is gone by next week.
    6
  1989. So, these "aliens" have learned how to manipulate the space-time continuum and haven't figure out how to refract light for a cloaking device? And, what's the deal with the lights? They are ineffective for flying. The worst strategy ever.
    6
  1990. I think Shapiro is going to be the VP pick. I just saw his speech about "freedom". It aligns very close to what she's saying.
    6
  1991.  @Pooburr  1- my Dad is a Navy Vet (stationed in FL though) 2- Grew up before internet was widely available (cheap AOL accounts) 3- one of the most educated kids on the planet because...my parents didn't let us watch TV. I read Encyclopedia Britannica for fun. And, we had a globe in our living room. 4- decent standard public school education But, we ain't studying battle maps of World War 2. Maybe they had a few pictures in our textbooks back then, but certainly not the same level of information available today.
    6
  1992. Title 42 is not a back door to change the asylum process. It deals with a public health concern.
    6
  1993. Literally, you are making comments on a website developed by US technology. Quite the irony.
    6
  1994. Kids and babies are different experiences. Babies just eat, sleep, poop and cry. With kids, you can interact with them.
    5
  1995. Err, that's exactly what a chef does.
    5
  1996. Good makeup...and no kids.
    5
  1997. Actually, it's a classic town hall technique. You want to be close to the person that asked the question to make it feel personal. Typically, the person not speaking will be at their stool.
    5
  1998. To be fair, they do have relatively easy choreo that makes focusing on vocals easier. Which is fine. I like to listen to radio performances. Most groups sing really well live. Gets much tougher when you have to dance and sing.
    5
  1999. Celebrities have to be squeaky clean in Korea to earn top dollar. For the top stars, acting is maybe 10-20% of their income and CF work is where they make the real money. Its in his best interest to be not controversial at all.
    5
  2000. She’s very American. It’s a culture clash.
    5
  2001. I think that's the point though. Bourdain liked going to hole in the wall places.
    5
  2002. I think it's from Frontline's The Choice, but he was toying around with a 2012 run. He was holding a press conference in NH and the same day, Obama released the long form birth certificate. (this is all before the WHCD). Obama would have crushed him.
    5
  2003. Ouida = genius. So godly that she's going to vote for the guy that has only looked out for himself and money his whole life, lol.
    5
  2004. These dudes have great energy. They could do motivational speaking as a side gig.
    5
  2005.  @teebone2157  What a brilliant comment. I would have to spend 10x more time asking what your Socrates level comment means than you invested in your comment. No thanks. Hard pass.
    5
  2006. 1 year for illegally having the gun for 11 days? That seems a bit much.
    5
  2007. Many delivery places in Korea use cheap dishes and they pick them up later.
    5
  2008. Only heard of 1 prominent case where it’s worked out between a rich dude and a stripper. It’s another TX love story: Lou Pai, the lucky Enron dude, and his stripper that saved him hundreds of millions of dollars. Lou Pai was an executive at Enron. Enron was a big fraud. Lou Pai was married and loved going to the strip clubs. He got a stripper pregnant and ended up divorcing his wife. But here’s the kicker: he had to sell his Enron stock to meet the divorce settlement proceedings. He sold near the top and for reasons other than fraud ie divorce. He was able to keep all the money unlike the other executives.
    5
  2009. Wasn’t panic. Just terrible circumstances. Many people moving between 2 streets in a small side street. Basically, a bottleneck. A few people fall and everything stops. Sounds like it was slippery and slight downward angle. People in the front fell as well and the weight was so bad, they couldn’t get pulled out.
    5
  2010. Likely, this isn't a systemic problem. Someone stole the cash and replaced it with fake bills. Though sounds like multiple branches are running this scam. Having fake bills does nothing to the official balance sheets. (There are definitely other systemic issues though.)
    5
  2011. Just weird. If they are the majority of the population, it should be pretty easy to elect lawmakers that support their positions.
    5
  2012. Harris campaign needs recruit some of the old Obama team. Not for the strategy, but for structural stuff like campaign rallies. They need to do a barnstorming tour of 2-3 dates a day.
    5
  2013. 0:04 Thought he was going to take the tree route and slow down that way. Going straightish is the worst option.
    5
  2014. lol, dude is on a major charm offensive. It's a hard topic to have an opinion. On one side, huge companies dominating the market are typically bad for small companies / innovation. On the other side, Samsung has the higher paying jobs and derive much of their revenues via exports.
    5
  2015. I could use the same logic in 2007-09. My spending habits didn't change. Sure, we froze salaries / took paycuts and I had to fire 10% of my team, but it barely impacted me financially. I still went out to each almost every night. Still spent the same amount of money for lunch at local shops around the office. Gee, I guess everything was fine.
    5
  2016. This is the dichotomy in Korea: Chaebols dominate the landscape and likely stifle entrepreneurship and ideas. Also, chaebols pay the best salaries and employment is the most stable. (side note: Not sure if Ottogi should be in the same stratosphere as the other companies. They are chaebol-lite. The owner seems like a really good dude though.)
    5
  2017. The new defense minister, Rustem Umierov, has a solid background. Seems like a win-win.
    5
  2018. Advanced has nothing to do with this. Asian countries have more experience dealing with epidemics due to past historical experience. Swine Flu was bad in the US, but no one changed their way of life because of it. Also, Asian countries are much more comfortable wearing masks. It will be the western countries downfall here. With that said, Trump and the GOP don't believe in government. They screwed the US.
    5
  2019. NYC price to income ratio is in the 10-11 range. San Francisco is around 7-8. There are 3rd tier cities in China at the peak north of 20. Shanghai / Beijing was around 50. It's pretty normal for lower income countries to have 1 or 2 cities at a high price to income because of a concentration of rich people. It was everywhere in China.
    5
  2020. Quite amusing when Koreans try to pronounce “V”. Although, I have extreme difficulty pronouncing certain Korean sounds as well.
    5
  2021.  @christopherweise438  It's a different type of arguing. Tim Walz is not a lawyer and I'm very confident he's destroy JD Vance.
    5
  2022. Yes. Jack Ma bought SMCP.
    5
  2023. The odd combination of fruit, seafood and electronics.
    5
  2024. lol, just remembered that I worked at a Korean restaurant during college in the States and it was in a tourist area that catered to mostly Japanese customers. The owner did a lot of "shady" stuff and it was way overpriced. The quality of the food was good, but the portions were pretty small vs the price. And, the kicker. No free banchan. Korean people would get a bit annoyed (was 90%+ Japanese customers).
    5
  2025.  @trolleyfan  I'm more moderate. I think the government should always get their cut and not have loopholes. People that make over $100M in their lifetime should not get exemptions. Uncle Sam should get their cut even if you donate to charity.
    5
  2026. You must be young and don't realize how we were feed back in the '80s / '90s. Food wasn't healthy or unhealthy, but we ate less of it. I grew up eating a lot of meat, milk, cheese, normal amount of vegetables and a lot of carbs. My Mom never fixed a vegetable with spaghetti. It was served with more carbs, bread. But, we weren't as gluttonous. Also, we just naturally moved around. It was watching TV, reading or go outside. I left high school weighing 135lbs being 5' 10".
    5
  2027. It’s why the US implemented TARP for such a large amount. Was intended part as a bailout, but also to let the public know their money was safe.
    5
  2028. My one cousin is gay. And, another in the same family is trans. Still the same people I grew up with.
    5
  2029. Actually, the 2nd guy jumped in to save the first guy. Both ended up drowning. The 1st guy was the best swimmer on the team and was a Chief (CPO). Dude was in the teams for a while.
    5
  2030. All hope is lost for the Republic if Americans amend the Constitution for him.
    5
  2031. This is the sobering viewpoint that needs to be heard. Bulwark has been getting on the giddy train too much recently.
    5
  2032. lol, are they trying to throw the election on purpose? This issue has a 76% approval rating in polling.
    5
  2033.  @mikestewart4752  The only way to weed out corruption is a free press and an independent prosecutor / court system. And, that ain't happening.
    5
  2034. Worst dispatch ever.
    5
  2035. I think rules have changed pretty drastically since then. The building I lived in Korea was trash nazis. You had to separate everything out even snack chip bags: 비닐. Then, I had to pay for a trash bag which was basically only for used paper towel and cig butts (smoked back then). (I would freeze my food waste and then dump it every few days in the used food cans.)
    5
  2036. lol, it’s because the case happened on Sunday. And, the arrest was days ago. People think everything is instantaneous these days. There is always a delay in the mugshot release from crime date.
    5
  2037. It's how progress works. The first versions are always terrible. You have to remember the old CRT monitors? Mercury was used in old clocks. Lead pipes. Asbestos. The list is endless.
    5
  2038. Au contraire. Specialty coffee wasn’t a thing until Starbucks arrived. They helped lay the groundwork for the market. I’m sure it would have eventually happened. Koreans were drinking mostly instant coffee back then. Dunkin Donuts probably only had plain coffee back then.
    5
  2039. I've very confused. Missiles used in the Patriot battery have a limited range. Bad internet research says 50-100 miles.
    5
  2040. Best way is to work with agency that charges you a flat fee. They did all my bookings with my credit card directly to the hotels, planes and train. I think they charged us $100 per person. Customized a daily itinerary with travel guides who we paid in cash. It was well worth it. (Probably charge more now)
    5
  2041. If you look at a map, this bridge makes sense in theory. Guess they didn’t do accurate surveying of actual car traffic patterns.
    5
  2042.  @mycharmedunicorn8715  Yes, because when you hit 75, you lose your constitutional rights. Mine as well just create death panels and kill old people.
    5
  2043. No major country will ever let part of their country secede. People need to realize that and work within the system.
    5
  2044. Friends with everyone, but friends with no one.
    5
  2045. Brilliant. Please enlighten us on how Koreans and Chinese are different races.
    5
  2046. Total mischaracterization of the role of UN troops. It's always been more of a political buffer than a military one. It's "try to think twice before attacking" role. UN ain't an army fighting both sides.
    5
  2047. Korean has some weird laws that tilt heavily towards the suspects and not the victims. This is one of them.
    5
  2048. This isn’t a black project. Once they get deployed, it’s basically public.
    5
  2049. Yeah, don't think people from Palestine are going to roll across the plains of Europe. Geopolitics isn't that hard.
    5
  2050. Isolated areas of heavy tourism always have structural issues. High cost of living, lower wages and a volatile economy. Tourism jobs aren't high paying jobs like big corporate jobs. (Graduated from University of Hawaii)
    5
  2051. New? This has been going on for 2 decades.
    5
  2052.  @christianlibertarian5488  My big takeaway is don't overact to the numbers (yet). US companies went from being under inventoried to way over inventoried. And, cut inventory to right size. Need to see more data points to figure out if it's a short-term blip or medium-term trend.
    5
  2053. Seems like she's focusing on her acting career. Very hard to do both.
    5
  2054. I was pretty young, but my parents always watched Nightline. Vaguely remember the Tip O’Neil / Tom Foley days when stuff would get done. People seemed to actually like each other on the different sides of the aisle. House GOP is a bunch of wackos now.
    5
  2055. lol, looking at 1 quarter is silly. HK is just getting over 2019 levels in '24. Basically +2% higher than 2019 from a GDP perspective. Singapore is +14% higher than 2019.
    5
  2056. State media isn't the correct term. Quasi-government agency is more accurate. The President of Korea appoints the CEO of KBS, but the CEO isn't part of the government.
    5
  2057. Iran’s strategic error caused the collapse of the Hezzies and this domino effect. Good luck trying to get Israel to give up the high ground now.
    5
  2058.  @peterpain6625  My man hasn't seen INTC stock price over the years. If they had this advanced tech, they wouldn't be in the doghouse. (and the dude didn't realize how I was using the word "intel".)
    5
  2059. This is when Korea gets a bit nutty. These are public places. Even if they were private places, they should be able to advertise it. This is not normal. Can you imagine if the Dodgers / Shohei sued Japanese tour companies for selling a package involving going to Shohei's mural in LA? and a Dodgers game?
    5
  2060. Literally, this is an episode of the West Wing in Season 1: A Proportional Response. Greatest TV show ever to understand politics / geopolitics even if it's not your political leanings.
    5
  2061. It's hypocrisy. You can't rail against the western way of life while living the western way of life.
    5
  2062. Typical China. Stealing stuff from other countries and claiming it as their own.
    5
  2063. Always positives and negatives: this is probably one of the negatives about the internet. Not that the crazies can share / find information online, but the lack of social interaction. Was really hard to be a hermit back in the '90s.
    5
  2064. Cracked window and rambling nonsense… Immediately know it’s sovereign citizen nonsense.
    5
  2065.  @DivadNoodeldehm-lz2gm  I am the original poster.
    5
  2066. Dude - How did you leave out Obama? How soon we forget. He was the original boogeyman.
    5
  2067.  @inquisitive.lurker  At one point in my career, I was pretty smart. Thought really quick on my feet in meetings and worked well in small settings. My boss was smart, but much slower. I had to be very slow and tone things down for him. But, he was a much better public speaker. I got really nervous when I had to stand in front of the whole company and talk about our business results. Which is in contrast to talking to the big boss daily on the phone and all the department heads weekly in a smaller setting. I excelled doing those type of venues. I'm not a politician though. Hope someone on her team was honest with her.
    5
  2068. Reminds me of the Star Wars program in the 80s.
    5
  2069. lol, you never heard of Standard Oil? or Ma Bell?
    5
  2070.  @dabda8510  lol, what about Wall Street? Not sure you are familiar with Korea. You need to browse the Samsung wiki page and look at all their subsidiaries. It's nuts.

  2080. I ran away as a teen as I felt backed into a corner (that I created). But, I went to my older brothers place a few states away. His roommate drove me back. My parents were pretty rational about it and I stayed with my good friend and their family until I graduated big school. None of this weird child protective services and stuff needed to get involved.

  2081. Terrible analysis. It’s August. No one cares if she’s doing a sit down interview or formal press conferences. The DNC hasn’t even happened yet. And, get with the program. Her words will be parsed in any interview setting past, present or future.

  2085.  @gustavalexander8676  It's a social security fund with Chinese characteristics. Funds are intermixing with no differentiated accounting. No transparent payouts. No transparent fund projections. In short, social security funds are funding large pensions for government officials. The split is as bad as 55% of the payouts going to government officials and 45% going to the public.

  2093.  @ronc9413  Dude - you are describing a fictitious industry. Not the Kpop industry as presently constructed. (Stay on topic. The video is about a group trying to break a contract after 1 year.) Edit: I worked in the restaurant industry from age 13 to late 20s. It's a horrible and inaccurate analogy.

  2101. Hard pass for me. My neighborhood sushi place got really crowded because it had about 10 tables + another 12 people around the sushi bar. Maybe I would have to wait about 15+ minutes. Swan Oyster Depot (Anthony Bourdain's favorite spot in SF) was walking distance from my apartment, but the line / wait was way too long. Would walk to the other place that was good enough and served similar food.

The elite Recon Marines stormed a potential tank position, but luckily it was abandoned. Lots of crazy sh** in that series: notably, they didn't have batteries for their night vision or thermals or lube for their weapons.

  2131.  @francismarion6400  Actually, no. The bulk of our imports come from Canada / Mexico. You need to brush up on oil types. We have a lot of light sweet. The US imports more the heavy sour types. The US will remain a net exporter of petroleum products through 2050, according to the 2023 Annual Energy Outlook (AEO2023) from the US Energy Information Administration.

  2135. He would have been a 1 term POTUS if he would stuck to his cut taxes and manage the deficit. We were in a world of hurt and a lot of money needed to be injected into the system. But, he would have been reasonable. Romney would have been ok as well. Too much top down trickle down, but that’s fine to argue. Don’t think Romney would have dismantled the ACA either.

  2137.  @eilois  I'm Korean, but grew up in the States. My cousins never had any exposure to drugs because there was simply zero way to get them. No average Koreans in their teens / 20s had any access (back in the 2000s). Me on the other hand ALWAYS had access in the states. There was always someone who knew someone to get drugs.
    5
  2138.  @TTTrouble  Again, this new generation has zillions of expectations and wants to give the least amount of effort. It's terrible. I had to scrub through hardback finance journals in the library to find articles during college. Let me guess, you don't have the patience to read actual books either?

  2158. 24:30 I find fault with the announcers reasoning. The adoption process in the US was cumbersome and had some roadblocks. Initially, my parents were going to adopt an African-American baby, but that was a big no-no back then. Normal adoptions took much longer. Basically, the Korean process was easier than the US one. Generally speaking, it wasn't a nefarious reason though. Interestingly, I have no idea how they found out about it since there was no internet back then.

  2163. If you watch this channel, you are getting an over representation of what's happening. It's a few case here and there over time. "Statistically" very little. - About 40 children die every year in Korea due to child abuse committed mostly by their parents - In 2021, about 4.8 children died each day of abuse and neglect in the United States (the real outlier trend in Korea is suicide. it's way too high, but in line with Japan.)
    5
  2164. Debt ≠ losses. Accounting 101, both sides of the balance sheet need to "balance" out. There should be an equal amount of assets that offset its liabilities. Obviously, there can be accounting trickery that can overstate assets though. (Zero chance I'm going to invest any time into looking at their financial statements.) This video was all over the place. They should have slowed it down and picked the main points and expanded those points. Lots of random "facts", but didn't make sense or very interconnected.

  2169. Yeah, that's not it. It's domestic spending which is a large part of GDP (China is smaller than most industrialized countries). Also, it's the tax base. Governments will have to shrink and you lose economies of scale on investments ie infrastructure. Countries could easily fall into stagflation. Wages going up because not enough workers and growth will fall because less people are spending.

  2170.  @lizdestefano4905  IMO, it's a cool experience just to be surrounded by Koreans. I've always enjoyed walking around Seoul alone with no destination. (Summers are brutally humid. Winters can be bitterly cold. Spring and Summer are ideal.)

  2176. Generally (but not always), PPI is a leading indicator. CPI is a lagging indicator. To be fair, their CPI / PPI numbers are a black box. Have no idea how they weight things. Also, CPI contains housing which PPI doesn't.

  2177.  @NNShephard  Stop the lies. Walz left the military at the rank of command sergeant major, one of the top for an enlisted soldier. Personnel file records show that he was reduced in rank months after retiring, leaving him as a master sergeant for benefits purposes. “[Walz] held multiple positions within field artillery such as firing battery chief, operations sergeant, first sergeant and culminated his career serving as the command sergeant major for the battalion,” said Lt. Col. Kristen Augé, a public affairs officer with the Minnesota National Guard. “He retired as a master sergeant in 2005 for benefit purposes because he did not complete additional coursework at the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy.”

  2180. 6:36 reminds me of an inappropriate story early in my career after I graduated. Went to work for a Fortune 500 company after college. We had weekly staff meetings, but the offices were a bit cramped. Not enough meeting areas. (They were in the process of building new offices. We sat right near the CEO's office and he would come barging out into our area. Was a bit terrifying.) So, our Director would jam us into a small borrowed office for our weekly meetings (Was the VP's office, but he was in other meetings.) We are in the weekly meetings and for some reason (I have no idea why), I used to play with one of my female co-worker's hair during the meeting. Dunno, she had really pretty hair. But, I was entry level and she was 2 levels above me. I still have no idea why I did it and why she didn't reprimand me for doing it.

  2181.  @SERGIO-cr6uy  lol, they are spending $800M a year on LIV golf. Ronaldo is getting $200M+ per year. Messi was getting more. Turned it down and they raised the offer higher. At that point, it's $200M-$500M per year. Does it really matter though? It was a huge amount either way.

  2184. I lived in Hawaii and worked in a tourist area in a Korean restaurant. And still we would have Korean tourists eating at the restaurant. My Korean relatives that never traveled outside Korea stayed with me in the states. And, they were dying for Korean food the second they arrived. It's just a cultural thing. When people travel, it's interesting to compare. For example, Italy has the best coffee. It's a zillion times better than the states. Every day on a 2 week trip to Italy, my dad and I compared the coffee and remarked how much better it was then the states. Years later, we still would comment on how good that coffee was.

  2186. Bad internet research has the China full year box office around 40B yuan. 2023 was 55B yuan (-27%). 2019 was 64B (-38%). US box office is down around -19% vs 2019. Flat to 2023.

  2187.  @viaini.niaivi  I fully regret responding to your comment.

  2188. Ok, first one is no big deal since it's an area nearly equidistant from Jeju to Shanghai. The other two (non) intrusions happened on the way other side of the coast which means it was a different sortie or they cut through North Korea or circled north of North Korea. Can't cut through from the South since it's Korean / Japanese waters. Zero idea how they would be able to get close to Pohang, but that seems close. (A visual map would have been handy.) A quick search and it seems they do this garbage all the time. To be fair, the US does send its carriers through the Taiwan strait.

  2194.  @OneShadow7  Man, you are terrible at this. The US banned (recently) the importation of Russian uranium (with the possibility of "some" waivers). Edit: there are a lot of long lead times. Have no idea how long the prior contracts run. The Department of Energy estimates that U.S. utilities have roughly three years of LEU available through existing inventory or pre-existing contracts. To ensure our plants do not experience any disruptions, we’re creating a waiver process to allow some imports of LEU from Russia to continue for a limited time.
    5
  2195.  @crazypato3752  I can only speak in generalities to the US market. Companies need to offer a standard amount of benefits to be competitive in the market. Generally speaking, you care less about these when you are younger and more when you get older: 401K contribution, health / dental deductible, paid time off, maternity / paternity leave, work from home (before pandemic). Benefits can't be customized to each individual. If you want decent talent, you need to offer decent benefits.

  2202.  @さとうさかあた  Your data is off. Korea has positive relations with SE Asia (politicians and people). And, your data is wrong about Japan. (Don't care what China thinks to search for it) Record 87% of Japanese "do not feel friendly" toward China: survey On the Japanese side, 37.4 percent of respondents had a “good” impression of South Korea, the highest figure since the joint surveys started in 2013. The number of respondents whose impression was “good” for the first time exceeded those whose impression was “not good.”

  2203.  @hu1zheng  (apologies to the the Native Americans) The US was settled and built by immigrants. It's literally a country of immigrants. Of course, it's setup to attract talent on every end of the spectrum. My family tree goes back to the founding fathers, but that's very unusual. Btw, we were just straight giving land away for free 100+ years ago.
    5
  2204. Lehman had way more leverage. Have no idea about the quality of Evergrande assets and if they are "straight", but Lehman was leveraged to the hilt. But, the scale of Evergrande debt is astronomical. It's close to 2% of China's GDP. Lehman was 0.6% of US GDP.

  2211. China was only importing about 3% of their coal from AU, but it was high quality coal. Also, I‘m a bit baffled why coal prices are rising in China. You’d think it would be easy for the CCP to set the price. Coal magically didn’t become 2x more expensive to produce.

  2212. I understand why Japan can not give in. It can stay disputed. Japan can't give an inch because there are more significant territorial fights to the south and north.

  2213. This is so embarrassing. If everyone would just wear a damn mask, we'd have this under control.
    5
  2214. Sounds like JD wants a debate. Going to be amusing when Walz uses JD prior emails against him.
    5
  2215. It’s weird to obviously steal your opponent’s campaign message / strategy….and do it extremely poorly.
    5
  2216. Definitely not a fan of Bibi. Sure seems like it was intentional that Israel was never going to negotiate for the hostages. The goal was always to enter Gaza and destroy as much as possible. (Not agreeing or disagreeing with the strategy.)
    5
  2217. Pooh Bear had one shot post-pandemic. Dude was like, “ok, business as usual”. We’ll never know if it’s because he’s a zealot or is getting the worst data to make decisions. Probably a combination of both.
    5
  2218.  @dani.moawol  Famous, yes. But, 1/10 of the size of CJ which was split off from Samsung. Still a smallish company. Samsung without the spin off companies is pretty nuts. It was huge.
    5
  2219.  @Games4Kidz7  lol, you've never seen the Chinese internet sites. Good luck. And, you are missing the point. Residential RE is already down the drain. Adding commercial RE into the downward spiral is suboptimal.
    5
  2220. Really wish it was a Reagan style drubbing to send a message. But, I'm not greedy. Just don't want him near the White House again.
    5
  2221.  @ALTOGETHER_UNKNOWN  I think you transposed what I said. The F-4s were the targets. They were blowing up F-4s out of the sky. In theory, you could call them drones since they were remote controlled.
    5
  2222. Washing plastic sucks. Korean brands make glass containers with better lids.
    5
  2223. Her Korean tone / speech pattern is interesting. Maybe it sounds familiar with someone else.
    5
  2224. lol, I was at a work gathering and they didn't have a high end Scotch. I went to a liquor store and bought JW Blue and was carrying it around all night pouring drinks. Totally blacked out that night.
    5
  2225. I purposely didn't get dual citizenship because the military service is a gray area. Well, and don't want Korean law apply to me ie no gambling, harsh drug laws etc
    5
  2226. It boggles my mind that DNA or some type of national number tracking database isn’t used.
    5
  2227. Korea is the model example of what happens when a country lifts itself out of poverty and becomes economically stable. Allows a pathway to maximize the talent of its citizens.
    5
  2228. Glad I didn't grow up in this era. Enjoyed using coke, LSD and E occasionally. Now, it's Russian roulette even with those drugs getting laced with fentanyl.
    5
  2229. There is no comparison to the US. No industry in the US is embedded as much as real estate in China.
    5
  2230. Didn't even realize he's hapa (half). Just thought he was a white dude.
    5
  2231. @ Do you realize we have the internet and access to this data right? FRED has numbers back to 2000. Sans pandemic, the highest unemployment rate of a doctorate is 3.6% in 2009.
    5
  2232. @ lol, you haven't looked at the numbers. Only about 5M people have doctorates in the US. That's 2.5% of the working age population. Anyone that gets their doctorate in a halfway decent college is fine (as long as its a marketable degree and not basket weaving). You do realize underemployment is captured in average salary right?
    5
  2233. Science and religion are inverses of each other. Very unfortunate.
    5
  2234. It took 20 years for the Nikkei to find a bottom. Don’t be a parrot. Do some actual research.
    5
  2235. While not a state, DC voted 85% Mondale. Objectively, it’s one of the East Coast states, but even those states will elect GOP governors ie MA, MD etc.
    5
  2236. We used to be so good at "soft" power and funding small projects like this to support democracy. (yeah, yeah. We've done a lot of shitty stuff as well.)
    5
  2237. IMO, it’s a free press. Elections would be nice, but free press is most important.
    5
  2238. Singapore is probably the easiest for English speakers. Then, the Philippines. Then, maybe Malaysia? (Obviously, these are more SE Asia, then East Asia.) Korea is a really tough place to live if you can't speak the language. Likely, the same with Taiwan. (Lived in Korea for 1 year. Ethnically Korean, but raised in the states. I speak like an elementary school level. My Korean cousin lives in Malaysia, but speaks really bad English.)
    5
  2239.  @Lillyxxxo  lol, that sounds weird as shit since I'm an American of Korean ethnicity. Being part of a country or "Korean" in this case is understanding the culture and being part of it. Just because Korea is one of the most homogeneous societies on planet Earth doesn't mean non-ethnic Koreans can't be Korean. Now, this is a standard American viewpoint and not shared widely by native Koreans.
    5
  2240. Here’s the problem: all businesses are corrupt. No one trusts the stock market. So, the investments are limited. But in the US, no one would ever buy an investment property if you couldn’t collect rent and pay the mortgage.
    5
  2241. Asset side of the balance sheet is getting devalued. Creates a loss on the operating statement. Doesn't immediately impact CF, but I'd imagine they had loans tied to higher asset values. Going to be a mess until the housing market bottoms. CF will get impacted because these assets can't be sold at the higher price, but gets recognized over time. Mark to market (MTM) is a method of measuring the fair value of accounts that can fluctuate over time, such as assets and liabilities. Mark to market aims to provide a realistic appraisal of an institution's or company's current financial situation based on current market conditions
    5
  2242. Oddly since the US took their lumps decades ago with manufacturing, it’s better insulated now. Tariffs can be slapped on to protect a few key industries. Maybe Apple and the semis take some of a hit, but they are still very profitable. Farmers could get hurt if they produce China exclusive product like soybeans.
    5
  2243.  @nickl5658  Again, False. Samsung reported operating profit of 640 billion Korean won (roughly $478.55 million), down from 14.12 trillion won a year earlier, its lowest level since the first quarter of 2009. Nick - let me help you out. Samsung is a huge company with several different divisions. You have to add (or subtract) all of them together for a total.
    5
  2244. Man, can they get a better “conservative” commentator? I would do a better job at commenting from a position on the right.
    5
  2245. Korea's soft power via food, TV and music has lifted Korea in the international space. No recent country has done this better in the last 20 years. There are millions of people that look at ROK in a positive light now due to Kpop.
    5
  2246. She was cute in her early Wonder Girls days. Now, she's stunning. It shocks me that it's the same person.
    5
  2247. Naw, the local government would get blamed for not having enough security / zoning / planning. Any large gathering informal or formal is the responsibility of the city.
    5
  2248.  @turtlegaminghd5406  You have zero clue about our economy. Do you understand we are a services economy? Do you even know what that means?
    5
  2249. It’s a US territory. Not much they can do.

  2250. Beauty is subjective. She’s a good actress and still has that refreshing and innocent look. But, she’s not on the level of Suzy or Seolhyun.
    5
  2251. Americas isolated location has always been its greatest national security asset. We’ll never understand what a real war looks like.
    5
  2252. umm, English is used for every airport control tower. There are probably some exceptions with domestic flights. This was a Chinese airline though.
    5
  2253. As a teenager, I delivered newspapers, washed dishes in a restaurant, cooked in a restaurant, worked in 7-11, worked in a tourist area in multiple different stores, worked at the concession stands at the Zoo. I never complain about any service.
    5
  2254. My first visit to see my relatives in Korea, I got a bunch of cash + necklace. And, I ended up spending 10x the amount when my cousins visited years later and I was the tour guide. (net loser on the deal, lol) I can see how it can get excessive though. Weddings aren't like US weddings. Average people weddings are like fast food. It's in a wedding hall. It lasts maybe 15-20 minutes. And, then you eat at the same wedding hall WITH OTHER WEDDING PARTIES.
    5
  2255. This is just the reality of a very crowded system with competing goals: Need 100% accident free record + the consumer wants cheap flights. Those 2 things don't line up well.
    5
  2256. Actually, it's good for non-Chinese assets. It's part of the reason why the US market is up (and Japan). No one wants to invest into China stuff. The 10yr UST is at 4.48% and the SPX is 1000 points higher when UST was at these levels.
    5
  2257.  @neverknowsbest2879  If was on and off the record. We suck at not leaking information.
    5
  2258. I got sick at the end of 8th grade. Went on a field trip and felt horrible went I came home. Slept for a while and was thirsty, so my sister got me a glass of lemonade. I proceeded to throw up everywhere. Had diarrhea and puking all night. My parents took me to the emergency room and I got admitted. Not sure if my parents wouldn't let them send me home, but it took 3-4 days of tests before they found. Anti-climatic, it was an intestinal virus. Basically, gave me antibiotics and I was fine. Need to be vocal with doctors to make sure they keep testing stuff.
    5
  2259. Protect the sick and elderly. Let normal people get vaccinated and go about their lives. Can’t have constant lockdowns for the next 5 years because of a zealot in power.
    5
  2260. side note: lol, the name is a bit tricky: 14:41 Korean Social Service Inc. I legit thought it was a government agency and not a separate non-profit agency. That was my domestic agency as well! Although my back story on my adoption papers was inaccurate, my name and birthday were correct. Interestingly, my Korean parents used my name and split it in half for my siblings. My biological brother has half of it. And, my biological sister has the other half.
    5
  2261. The US has a Nurse practitioner program. It fills lots of holes in the system that doctors don't need to be involved with. My primary contact for a while was a NP. If it was anything more serious or specialty related, she would refer to someone else. I think I was referred maybe once or twice.
    5
  2262. Extreme sports version of Jackson Galaxy.
    5
  2263. This isn't like an oil or gas pipeline where you need to transport it to a customer. I'm not sure why they need a centralized system (other than higher costs).
    5
  2264. Close. Norway is not the Netherlands though.
    5
  2265. @JamesDeWalt909 Larry Ellison literally bought the whole island of Lanai for $300 million. That is the ultimate money flash. Don't be intentionally obtuse.
    5
  2266. The sad part is the real life workplace isn't structured like this. You don't have an infinite amount of time for studying stuff. The people that excel are people that can calculate / observe things, come up with a plan, execute in a fast efficient manner. And, yeah. Be a good communicator / office politician. Edit: I became valued at my company because...I knew how to manipulate data well. I mean really well. Other people would come up with "opinions" and I would come with conclusions based off data. I learned how to pull data fast and dump it into excel and "outsmart" others around me. Also, I had a tendency to remember numbers well. Good at numbers, suck at languages like Korean.
    5
  2267. It’s called math. And counting the votes.
    5
  2268. It’s called photos. The sub wasn’t seaworthy yet. It can’t just get up and walk away.

  2269. Never heard of Agnostic humanist, but that pretty much describes me after being raised Catholic.
    5
  2270. Dude - US Civil War, Korea, Vietnam etc had relatives killing each other.
    5
  2271. I wish all people spoke as slow and enunciated as the "half" Korean. I'd be able to understand more.
    5
  2272. Gotta be something behind the scenes. They were profitable after 2 years. Groups making money usually try to extend for an extra few years. And the last album sold decent.
    5
  2273. wait, what?
    5
  2274. 3 seconds in and know nothing about the case. I'm guessing it's the boyfriend / husband. Edit: opps, I saw a small clip on this earlier.
    5
  2275. Love how they keep a sense of humor. Godspeed Ukraine.
    5
  2276. This is why Korea will never reunite. It would throw politics / political parties into a mess.
    5
  2277. US ends up with massive cost overruns with military projects, but quality equipment. Chinese cut corners (pocket the cash) and end up with substandard equipment. That will be the saving grace.
    5
  2278.  @Mrbfgray  Obviously, you've never taken out student loans and don't know the Stafford loan limits.
    5
  2279. Just weird. Lottery should just be a supplemental business for an existing store. lol, and why would a store stock up on scratch tickets ahead of time? It should be a weekly replenishment at most. Worked at a place in my late teens. It was a magazine / tourist store. We had two registers on the front counter for the store and the lottery machine was on the side of the counter.
    5
  2280. Is it Xenophobia to not like the country that invaded you? I can sure understand why Iraqis don’t like Americans.
    5
  2281. A bit of hyperbole. Russian subs are the strength of their Navy. Not their surface ships.
    5
  2282. Maine State Police is 330 troopers. You’d think they would activate the National Guard for manpower.

  2283. Something acid based. Lemon, Lime, orange etc.
    5
  2284. Holy sh*t. I thought this was a normal 16 episodes, but it's 120??? WTF!
    5
  2285. The French position is interesting. Some troops could be sent in, but they would be behind the lines and could free up UA forces for front line positions.
    5
  2286. lol, are you nuts? Blackrock has $9 trillion under management. If they fail, we are in a serious global systemic failure.

  2287. Pooh Bear is the worst game player of Sim city ever.
    5
  2288. lol, stop with the madness.

  2289. Totally understand how it happens. I used to lie about random silly stuff and couldn't remember what I had said in the past. Turned over a new leaf when...I turned 10 and started attending middle school with the older kids.

  2290.  @KittyKittyCat-vf8zd  I've never seen an ICE car spontaneously combust without some type of external factor.
    5
  2291. Yeah, maybe you are watching this on 240p.
    5
  2292. This is controversial because someone on the SWAT team was recorded saying, “Happy Hunting”. Wasn’t the dudes that fired the lethal round.
    5
  2293. And, I thought the Pentagon moved slow. Ooof.
    5
  2294.  @medraut6599  Yeah, Ryan Reynolds a total doormat. Same with Ryan Gosling, Dan Aykroyd, Keanu Reeves.
    5
  2295. No US bank depositor has ever lost a penny during a bank failure since the FDIC was created in 1933 (limits apply). In total, account holders affected by the bank failures since 2007 have not yet recovered about $145 million in uninsured deposits, the FDIC data show–a small sliver of the roughly $780 billion in total deposits at banks that failed over that period.
    5
  2296. If there are 100K workers, that's only 2 per meal. Western countries stopped doing the dorm / company meals ages ago. The closest comparison you can find is sporting events ie some of the American football stadiums have 100K attendance.
    5
  2297.  @timotheegoulet1511  "refract" is different than "reflect". It means bending light around the object hence the cloaking device. (obviously, it's more complicated and scientific than a 1 sentence definition.)

  2298. "I think the competitive edge of the Korean cinema lies in its freedom. I highly think of their broad range of subjects and freedom in creation," Chow said. "Sometimes I even wonder, 'Can they cover such stories?'"

  2303. Obviously, there are levels of idols. The popular ones do CFs. That’s where the real money is at. The singing only works if you tour well and that’s only a few groups. The smart ones try to diversify into acting, but that’s a competitive gig as well.

  2304. 7:00 11:52 The whole standup would have been jokes like this. You could tell she was holding back.
    4
  2305. +Douglas Barr Learning languages is hard for some people. My math SAT scores were 50% higher than my verbal. And Korean is not like English. My Spanish is better than my Korean due to learning it when I was in middle school and being more similar to English.
    4
  2306. +xana hyun lol, Japan isn't poor and is very 1st world.
    4
  2307. I think the general public has seen Suzy grow up as a kid. She was cute and she matured fast in 2012-15. Prior to that you had people like Sohee or Minzy, but they stayed "cute" unlike Suzy. And the perception she hasn't had surgery and stayed pretty scandal free increased her popularity.

  2308.  @princessfiona2309  My eyes have gotten significantly worse from using my phone too much. Watching something that close of a distance is not good for the eyes.

  2309. Man, things are weird these days. I thought this was a joke.
    4
  2310. It’s because KBS is publicly owned (by the government). They want to “export” TV shows for “soft” power.
    4
  2311. @Mom KBS is doing a balancing act. They have to cover production costs / generate revenue. Any popular drama will be sold via distribution deals, so no freebies online.
    4
  2312. umm, I'm a dude. You got to strap on ahead of time to avoid those consequences. Unless a guy wants to carry a baby to term, doesn't have much say in the 2nd option either.
    4
  2313. Because things could get very messy in Europe. Dude has a conscience. A warped one, but still there.
    4
  2314. KBS has this weird formula where they don’t use their normal studio set in the beginning, but then revert back to the same re-used one.
    4
  2315. US schools get a bad rap. I took 3 levels of drafting and Engineering in high school. And, we had AP (advanced placement) classes in the main subjects. I didn't even qualify since the AP classes started in middle school. Even still, I took Calculus and advanced Chemistry. I grew up in a very basic suburb of an East coast city.

  2316. lol, the double standard. NBA players should "shut up and dribble" and "why aren't NBA players geopolitical experts in a region that is halfway across the globe"?

  2321. Taeyeon looked so great during this run.
    4
  2322. Actually, countries have to be really careful about "educated" societies. Countries need a mix of college educated and non-college educated workers. And, it has to happen slowly over time

  2327. People got crushed together. Small alley that slopes downhill into a Main Street with sidewalk. But, the sidewalk was full of people. The front has no where to go. In the front, people fell down and the the force of the crowd pushed more people over. Literally, a mass of people that couldn’t be pulled out.

  2328. Weed as well. Thailand is smart realizing there are bigger issues to tackle.

  2329. Wait, did that dude say the value of new homes not sold are worth pennies on the dollar? Sure seems like that would devalue the secondary market. And, all housing assets.

  2336. Geez, the drama feels like it’s ending, but it’s only 1/3 through.
    4
  2337.  @rickjames18  I think your complaint is...there are a few big companies running the show instead of a lot of different companies. Yes, less competition isn't good for any marketplace. Politely, maybe you should spend a few minutes and look into the reasons why it happened. The roots of the problem can be traced to 1993, when the Pentagon, looking to reduce costs, urged defense companies to merge and 51 major contractors consolidated to five giants.

  2338. SOHO founders hatched their plan over a decade ago. Probably have made the best transition.
    4
  2339. lol, "stuff is cheap" even though I don't live in China and make a Chinese salary. Pooh Bear must be your master. "What's wrong with deflation? Prices are cheaper."

  2342. BUDS is longer than 6 weeks.
    4
  2343. 1- these are the risk on trying to eliminate costs ie workers. Zero chance they have lowered prices 2- there are several options: (a) everyone has to scan an ID to enter the store (b) write a statement / play a song saying that if you enter the store, you are losing your "image" rights in the store if you are suspected of shoplifting (c) hire a permanent loss prevention team for a "grouping" of stores to track down people (I'm assuming these owners own many and not 1 store)
    4
  2344.  @englishteacherdon  My relatives drop me off and wait until I go through the boarding pass / passport check at ICN. Pretty unnecessary since I'm a full grown adult now (for a while). I think something is getting "lost in translation" (metaphorically).
    4
  2345. It's always easier to understand the Korean of foreigners. They tend to overpronounce vs native speakers.

  2346. lol, just wait until housing prices drop further. Welcome to the concept of negative equity.

  2347. She got adopted at age 11. Actually, I'm shocked. That rarely happens. It's very very rare.

    4
  2351. "collapsing". Going back to yield in the 2000s.
    4
  2352. Probably close to $20 trillion in local government debt purchases. Another $12 trillion in central government debt. Than spread the rest out between households and companies. Only the central government number is reasonably accurate. Everything else is a guess.

  2353. I always chuckle a bit when thinking about the Netflix Korea team having to explain to Netflix corporate on why they have to delay / not launch the TV shows he's in.

  2360.  @MichelleOfoegbu  I had to replay a few scenes. I have no idea how they got the shots live unless they lots of different cameras which is a bit unusual for docs. And, the participants were so free flowing in their actions and conversations and totally ignored the cameras. Really really good editing and camera work.

  2361. lol, you crazy. My mom is a nut, but my Dad stuck through thick and thin.
    4
  2362. Multi-year DNA backlog? CSI has a hit TV show back then. You'd think the EMTs would check the pulse and just back off from there.

  2363. They were pretty "fair" with the chart and could have made the chart even worse. I'm pretty sure the red line is average cases per day (maybe a 7 day average). A cumulative cases would look horrible.

  2364. Still feel like Tim Walz would whip JD Vance in a hot second. He’s got that old man strength.

"I would ingest the LSD on a sugar cube or in a hard form of gelatin. I would usually take the LSD when I was by myself. I have no words to explain the effect the LSD had on me, although, I can say it was a positive life changing experience for me and I am glad I went through that experience.” -Steve Jobs

  2369.  @AmandaVieiraMamaesouCult  It’s more complicated than that. Korea has a relatively strong export economy. Lessens the need for domestic GDP growth. Less people = less GDP = less tax revenues. IMO, Korea will be ok due to automation and if they continue to develop their export economy.

The reason why the UN declared a police action and sent troops was... 1- ROC (Taiwan) was the official Chinese member of the UN 2- Soviet Union / Russia was boycotting the UN because ROC was the official Chinese member of the UN When the KMT was not expelled, the Soviets staged a walkout from the UN. According to Gaiduk, they believed that by walking out, they would remove legitimacy from the UN and the UN Security Council. Shortly after the Soviets walked out, the Security Council authorized intervention in the Korean conflict. Russia and China are both members of the Security Council. The UN will never take another action again in our lifetimes.

The other female narrator with an American accent speed reads through the script. Tiffany Meier who does the other channel as well is good, but it's almost too dry. News pitch doesn't work. This narrator is perfect. Speed of narration is great and it "almost" doesn't feel like she is reading from a script (which she is).

  2506. Wait, what? GLD (Gold ETF) hit a high of 225 and dropped about 2%. Is China not using the spot price? Edit: did the math. 25 yuan / 576 = -4.3% drop. It did drop about that amount earlier in the week and rebounded a bit.

  2507. lol, social and medical insurance There is no social safety net in China.

  2510. Have to admit one of the dumbest things I did in my life was going out in the middle of a hurricane to bodyboard when I was a teenager (good board and swim fins). We all learned how to swim when we were kids. My mom and brother were strong swimmers. I was more average. (And, the waves sucked because the wind made the waves choppy. Still was fun. Was much cleaner after it passed though.)

  2511. Haha. Dude - the Chinese were using a form of a vaccine in 1500s. Jenner was not the first. Yes, he developed a scientific safe vaccine, but he’s not the first. (you might want to spend more than a 1 min google search before making definitive statements.) Edit: And, let's not get into the vaccination vs inoculation technicality. We aren't scientifically literate people.

  2514.  @Lisa-zz5si  Yeah, my life is pretty weird. I left out 1 small detail. That's my cousin's baby in the picture. Her daughter and I have the same birthday. And, I have an American cousin with the same birthday as well. (My younger sister is the girl on the right with the big face, haha) I've got 2 siblings in American and Korea. 1 brother and 1 sister each. My American siblings are separated by 2 years and so are my Korean siblings. Both brothers are older than the sister. (I'm a bit older than my Korean siblings though, closer to my American siblings age.) I've got this weird symmetry split into 2 different worlds.

  2515. But, Korea is very competitive for colleges and work. You need to toughen up and get your reps in early.

  2524.  @powershift2024  Yeah, people are idiots thinking they can make money off fx / macro bets. The cost and risk that comes with these trades are not for the faint of heart. Certainly, not by people spending time in YouTube comments. Michael Burry almost had to give up on his short trade because he was running of time and it was getting expensive.

  2527. lol, you mean the Brits screwed up on drawing maps again. Blame Hitler as well. It’s doubtful a Jewish state would have happened without WW2.
    4
  2528.  @changedNameSorry  Used to think the two state solution would work. It's impossible though since there are no security guarantees for Israel. You really think Palestinians (Iran) are going to be peaceful if they get official statehood status and the additional international protections? It will become Lebanon, but worse since it's even closer to Israel's border with no real topography separation. And definitely they would see the higher standard of living in Israel and blame Israel for the lower standard of living. And, more conflict would break out. The silly part is Palestinians are playing the all or nothing game. There are incremental middle ground steps other than just "statehood". They should realize they have the weaker hand and take greater concessions. And, improve the quality of life slowly, but peacefully.

  2529. The buy sell spread is huge. According to the Financial Times, Moex' resulting dollar restriction caused the greenback's rate to spike among local banks. Where the central exchange offered the US currency at under 90 rubles, some lenders have now sold it for 120-200 rubles.
    4
  2530.  @RanziYasasvi  Again, it's not. It's burning stored fat for energy. Trust me, you drink a lot of water / liquids because you get bored and miss eating. I did the water fast for 2 1/2 days and quit. I've done a longer 2+ week liquid diet. Again, a diet that you consume a lot of liquid and just burning fat.

    4
  2532. Weird video. Lots of inaccuracies. Not sure if I want to time stamp and refute them all. I'll just talk about the UST. All of the US treasury holdings are underwater for the CCP. A mass amount of selling will push the yield even higher and make them realize their losses at an even higher rate. Likely, looking at a $100B loss. Even trickier is their MBS holdings. It's an illiquid market. Nearly impossible to sell their holdings in a short period of time.

  2537. Only 2 countries that can possibly achieve air superiority: US and China. There are anti-drone measures currently that can easily be implemented.
    4
  2538.  @udin2842  You need a math class. We give $50B a year in foreign aid. People use this same argument to try to cut the NASA budget. People need to be responsible and not take out a ton of student loans. It’s hard, but someone can graduate from a good state school for $20K in loans.
    4
  2539. Took a few months for UA to get their shit together as they were fighting for survival and under equipped. Things slowly got better with the M777 in May and HIMARS in late June. Even then, there were ramp ups on the use / delivery to frontlines for those weapons. Dudes were there for the lows points.

  2544. lol, we import $3.4 trillion per year. Don't think Mexico needs another customer.

  2545. Just a terrible video. I'm more confused now than before watching it. Statements contradicted each other, charts had lines on a bar chart that didn't make sense, didn't explain what "minimum contribution base" means, etc. I literally have no idea how much a worker contributes: raw number or % of income.

  2546.  @piotrmajewski5978  Without securitization and CDS, housing in the US wouldn't have been an issue. There was barely any oversupply in the US market (except regional pockets).

  2548. Korea has this same program for Koryo-saram.

  2549. This viewpoint might be a bit silly, but when Kpop groups go to a big international festival, they aren't just performing, but are representing the whole genre. There is an additional burden of responsibility. Groups shouldn't accept invitations if they aren't good live singers. (KCON is different since it's just Kpop.)

  2550. I have no comment as I did worse as a teen.

  2551.  @xavierpaquin  I'm unique to Korean. English is my first language, but I'm Korean. I learned it badly as an adult, so I see it from an outsiders point of view. You and the other commenter don't get it though. Any English word can be transposed into Korean. Koreans that grow up in the States will intermix the two. But, there is no rhyme or reason why certain words have 2 generally accepted versions. The bigger issue is language is culture. Korean is way more of a unique language than English which is already a mix and match. Replacing the Korean version of words with English just rubs me the wrong way. With that said, Korea should have adopted English as a 2nd official language decades ago, lol. Koreans are terrible at speaking English.
    4
  2552. It's nearly impossible to reach Depression levels due to monetary policy tools. The US central bank in the 1930s had no clue what to do and to a degree made it worse. Everyone knows the playbook today. They have a lot of debt, but at some point, they'll realize they need at least a stimulus package near 10% of GDP.
    4
  2553.  @wondertyzipp8260  Korea's GDP in 1960 was $2B. Lower than Israel, Thailand, Philippines, Bangladesh. You name it and nearly everyone had a higher GDP. Korea was dirt poor. It's now the 12th largest GDP. It's literally the best economic success story in the past 50 years.
    4
  2554.  @wondertyzipp8260  There are no minorities in Korea. It's one of the most homogenous societies on planet Earth. The amount of ROK citizens that would be considered minorities is 0.01%. Seems to be odd to making your whole argument on 0.01% of a society. There are many valid arguments about the negative dark sides of Korean society. This isn't one of them.

  2564. Not even close. They have the flight recorder. They can easily piece together what happened which is pointing to pilot inputs.

  2565. Why do people think 3 wildly different societies should be compared? Japan went through the lost decades. Korea has mandatory military service, just became democratic 30 years ago and are dominated by a few companies with nearly half of the population in Seoul metro. And, China is a vastly different system.

  2571. The fertility rate was above 5 until the mid-1970s. It stayed above the 2.1 rate (growing population) until the early 1990s. Then, add in modern medicine has extended lives. Life expectancy climbed from 33 in 1960 to 78 today.

  2573. Incheon is pretty spread out. Can't really generalize the city with anything. Korean people have always been judgmental and a bit loud. The blatant disregard for rules and weird washing clothes is a bit odd though. 35 is probably the cut off to modern society rules. That's post-1990 babies. Gets to be a wonky mix before then.

  2582. You are playing with words purposely. You know darn well what "demotion" means. In military law, a reduction in rank or degradation is a demotion in military rank as punishment for a crime or wrongdoing, imposed by a court-martial or other authority. It may be imposed in conjunction with other punishments, such as a bad conduct or dishonorable discharge, loss of wages, confinement to barracks, or imprisonment in a military prison.

  2589.  @weaver1507  He was born in 1917 and was a junior officer in the Japanese military. Nothing has been published about what he did and didn't do. He was stationed in Manchuria, so it's highly unlikely he was involved in Korean affairs.

Korea did $47M out of $286M total international / $414M worldwide. More than 10% of the worldwide gross. (Dune was much smaller: $14M out of $433M worldwide, but still a little wonky with covid.)

  2621. Coincidentally, I was just googling the 2017 tax cut savings for AAPL. The report, covering the first three months of the company’s activities under the new tax rules, shows $16.1 billion of worldwide pretax income, and an income tax provision of $2.35 billion, for a tax rate of 14.5 percent. By comparison, the company’s effective tax rate for the first three months of calendar 2017 was 24.9 percent. If last year’s effective tax rate were still applicable, the company’s first quarter income taxes would be $1.68 billion higher.

  2628. People are idiots. This started happening at least 20 years ago. Personally, I was working at a restaurant in college. I quit and took a severe paycut to take a small research position in my department (was a undergrad). This led to an outside position for my last year in school that was related to my degree. Moved to a different state and got a job (not directly related to my major, but somewhat close). I know my work experienced helped. Was staying with a friend of a friend. Met someone still in high school and she was applying to college. The amount of “extra” stuff she needed to do just to get into college was crazy: volunteer, work experience + the usual grades / test scores.

  2653. A couple of things: 1- the internet / videos: I used to read the entire newspaper as a kid. There was a small section in the Metro section for local crimes. Sometimes, a few big national crimes were reported. 2- while crime per capita is down, the population has doubled since 1980. Depending on your area, net crimes could be way up because more people live there.

  2671. Did people forget about how the US government normally works? Cabinet secretaries don't have their own fiefdoms and run things on their own. They serve at the pleasure of the POTUS. Not having some type of technocrat in Treasury would be insane. That's how the plumbing starts to break. Cabinet secretaries carry out the agenda of POTUS. Not the other way around.

  2676.  @Caz-z1x  Exactly, old timer. When I was in my 20s, I had 2 jobs. Full time office job with a 1 hour commute each way. Then, I worked 20+ hours a week waiting tables. Yes, I worked 7 days a week. Never took a vacation either (went 3 years with no vacation and only took time off because my friend got married). I'd go out once during the week and on Fri nights as well. When I was in my 30s, I was putting in 65 hours a week at the office and worked every Sunday. Back then, I was getting up and firing off emails at 5AM, but had to stop because it was scaring my team. Took a vacation maybe for 1 week. Was still going out several nights a week. And, yeah. I couldn't keep up after that. Edit: oh yeah, before I was department head, sometimes I would stay late and sleep under my desk. The drive would have been easy 20 mins since there was no traffic, but I was a maniac back then. I'd sleep for 4-5 hours and then go home and take a shower, brush teeth etc and then head back to the office.

  2678. Handgun wounds are bad. Rifle wounds are infinitely worse. People can die from bullets in one of two ways: when organs are directly hit as bullets pass through the body or through the cavitation effect. The cavitation effect from a handgun is typically not very severe. With rifles, the cavitation injuries can be very severe. Exit wounds from rifle bullets can reach the size of an orange.

  2683. There is no right and wrong since we don't have a metaverse. It's all conjecture. Shapiro does seem like the riskier pick though from a Dem base perspective. Seems like the Harris campaign has leaned towards base turnout.

  2687. The funny part is no one even knows the names she mentioned. Lasry: hard pass, the guy is private equity. Effron and McGuire have good resumes. Dimon would be the best pick. Treasury is an insanely complex job. Easy pick would be Lael Brainard, but not sure how much Harris would want from Biden admin.

  2693. Yeah, MN is very popular. The land of 10,000 Korean adoptees.

  2694. You'd lose your job and being watching YT videos full time. America ain't like Japan where companies had a sense of nationalism and held onto workers.
    4
  2695. No, not cash flow. All startups lose a ton of money in the beginning because they have little cash flow. Their capital market system is broken. No one can raise the actual cash to fund them. And in western systems, these companies wouldn't be able to start or would just go under.
    4
  2696. Twitter was the greatest collection of random experts on niche current events. It's a shame that it will likely blow up. Already seeing way less activity recently (months, not weeks). Finance is one of the few "niches" that skew right. Most skew left.

  2700. The US has slow walked every incremental offensive weapon capability. Not entirely a horrible strategy, but does makes us look like we are giving UA just enough to survive and not enough to win.
    4
  2701. lol, Yonhap is government funded. Not sure it's doing a good job of soft power by showing all these random murders. The murder rate in Korea is extremely low. Not Japanese / Singapore low, but at the bottom end of the scale.

  2702. Always feel sad hearing about stories of Native Americans. We always seem to screw them over.

  2707. I'm all for trying something different including legalization. Would definitely become a nightmare to execute though. "drug stores" would need to have security the same as banks. Not sure if that is feasible.

  2711.  @SwiaKeys  lol, the dude wasn't up for murder or beating his kids. It's a drug charge. I had to deal with the GC and outside counsel to know how lawyers think. They told him to keep a low profile. Don't be seen in public. Be contrite. The dude just need a friend to meet him outside the police station and give him arm around the shoulder and say to the media something like, "he's my friend. I have no comment on the investigation, but I'm going to support my friend through the good and the bad times". Dude was probably either at home with his wife who was likely very annoyed at him. And, his kids which geez, either embarrassed / ashamed (both ways). Or at his lawyer's office who was probably charging him $500K+. Obviously, the dude can't go to a bar anymore, but someone could have went to the gym with him. Outside jogging. Went to restaurant with him and his wife and kids. Just stuff to make seem life normal.

  2717.  @frankkobold  Here's the way to look at it: Say, you want to build 2 houses. - 2 buyers give you the money upfront - contractor builds the first house and starts the 2nd house, but doesn't receive payment for the services - you use the buyers money for other things. No money left - Contractor is owed money. 1 buyer received house. 2nd buyer has unfinished house - The CCP would need to pay off the debt to the contractor AND spend more money to finish the incomplete house. My guesstimate is the CCP would need to inject at least $100B. They don't have that kind of cash to bailout just one company. Hence, they'll keep on stalling.
    4
  2718. Small towns and even places like Daegu are just different. Lots of stores are called Kim bap stores, but they have a much larger menu than kim bap. Used to go to 1 smallish place in Daegu and 1 ahjuhma would run the store. All the customers were people that lived in walking distance <0.5 km.
    4
  2719. Let me introduce you to Gerald Ford or did you not graduate high school?
    4
  2720. umm, more Koreans abroad should step up and adopt then. I saw an Korean couple living in the states that adopted. Was the ideal scenario. Don’t have to be stigmatized in Korea and feel culturally comfortable in a different country.

  2721.  @ForageGardener  Obviously, you never read Little House on the Prairie books as a kid. Uncle Sam was giving out free land in the mid to late 1800s.
    4
  2722. As someone living in the states, I loved when my ex made kimbap. I eat one piece and add a piece of kimchi and eat it together. But, YOU LIVE IN KOREA. You can find kimbap everywhere. When I lived there, the kimbap store (which served a much bigger menu) would have ramyun and kim bap for like $3. Or donkatsu and kimbap for $5.

  2723. Interestingly, the dude from Jordan immediately turned Japanese when he switched from English to Japanese. His intonations and mannerisms completely flipped while the other two seemed to stayed very similar. (Also, one of the most appropriate sponsor tie-ins for a video, lol.)
    4
  2724.  @TettyBoyFloyd  The Black Hornet micro-drones cost $200K. Small consumer ones cost $100. A professional one costs $1K. Again, we suck at low cost options that can do "most" of the job. The Russian invasion has show that we need a bigger toolkit that includes mass quantities of cheap stuff.
    4
  2725. lol, there is a young Russian dude on YouTube who does street interviews. Watching Russian citizens do the high wire act with the question on the war is quite interesting. Basically the same thing.

  2726. I hate Putin, but Russia still has the upper hand. Population matters.
    4
  2727. Yes and no. A lot of dirty stuff goes on though. Examples: Samsung and the last President are real world examples. Also in the 2000s, one of the Samsung daughters committed suicide in the states.

  2728. 6:21 End of year games? NBA Christmas games have always been the unofficial "start" to the season because football is on the homestretch.

  2729. Apple is spending around 75% of their free cash flow on stock buybacks (and this is low for them). BABA is spending around 1/3 of their free cash flow on stock buybacks. And, they have $80B in cash on their balance sheet. That's all you need to know. If a company with a ton of extra cash isn't loading up on their own stock, you shouldn't either.
    4
  2730. They focus on industrial tasks. Ownership has gone from Google --> Softbank --> Hyundai Hyundai is a huge company and doesn't sell just cars. I'd imagine they will continue to focus on the industrial side.

  2739.  @doomdude69  I'm no doomer. My first flight was in the middle of a blizzard in a prop plane. This was after my flight got delayed for over 24 hours due to storms. Got baptized really fast. The US has 1 plane size crash every 2 days with car accident deaths. I know the statistics. Edit: oh yeah, I survived an extremely bad car accident when I was 16. 40-50 stitches in my head.

  2740. Lazada is part of BABA. They have reported on BABA in the past.

  2741. Man, feels like deja vu. I remember when this happened to Pelosi. Wait a sec, this never happened under Nancy. Only with this freak show party in the past 10 years.

  2742. San Francisco is a beautiful city. It has an embedded problem with homelessness that started way before I moved there in '99. The drug epidemic made it much worse. It's the best city in the country for...sleeping, lol. The fog brings in near permanent "cool" weather. Has a great proximity to lots of different outdoor things / activities. Fun fact: SF is only 7 miles by 7 miles. It's an extremely small city. A person could walk from the Cliff House (ocean) to the Ferry building (bay) in about 4 hours.

  2743. Hiking dangerous paths with 100ft drops is risky.

  2744. My female cousin only went to a 2 year school, so she started working normal retail job. She sacrificed for 5+ years and didn’t spend anything plus worked a lot of overtime. She was able to save 200 million won. She missed out on a lot of things in her early 20s, but they use the money for jeonse after she got married.
    4
  2745. Dude - it's a 24 hour news channel. Gotta fill the gaps with something or just keep repeating the same stuff.
    4
  2746. Underwater mortgages aren't a risk to the system in China. More of a risk to the economy since people feel / become poor. In the US, people would just walk away from the mortgage. In China, you have to keep paying the bank regardless if you default, foreclosed, die etc, lol.

  2747. ugh, people are not social distancing.
    4
  2748.  @georgebanuelos1  Man, you people must live in the weird part of the internet. Navy Seals are part of the military. They aren't going to publicly lie about how an operator dies. If it was a classified mission, they would just say it's a classified mission.
    4
  2749. We take clean water for granted. I grew up drinking tap water my whole life. Many lower developed countries have to go and buy water to drink / cook.

  2750. That is a reasonable statement, but Israel went with that strategy and Hamas took advantage of it. Can't see Israel going into a defensive stance in the near future.

  2751. Not defending Pooh Bear, but that’s kinda the point. They are spending a lot of money to do the practical testing and development. The version after this one will be the non-beta version.
    4
  2752. Everything in life is relative. NBA is worse than Jack Welch and fires more than 10% of their players a year. And, they are out of the league. It's not that Steph made it to the NBA, but became the dude that changed how modern NBA operates on the court. Watch a game from the early 2000s and you can see how different spacing is on the court. Not recruited in college, almost traded away in 4th year in the NBA. He was one ankle injury away from being out of the league. Actual headline: "Stephen Curry Contract Extension Is Risky Business for Golden State Warriors". Everyone knew Lebron was going to be a phenom. Not so much for Steph. Kinda sad that people megaphone negative stories and can't celebrate uplifting ones.
    4
  2753. To be fair, these seem like bad restaurant chain ideas: likely, overpriced and not really unique. Occasionally, I'll watch some of the Japanese restaurant videos. Just small places that have been in business for many decades / generations. More of the neighborhood type small businesses. I wonder if CCP China has those type of places / how they are doing.
    4
  2754. Please...Please have John Oliver host this next year.  He fits into their wheelhouse of people that would host. Obviously, there are a bunch of comedians out there that would kill, but the WHCA would never ask:  Chris Rock, Louis CK, Bill Burr, Chappelle, Hannibal Buress, Patton Oswalt etc

  2757. I'll politely disagree. Not to sound food snobbish, but I think people that don't have much experience with food and food preparation tend to use basic descriptions like colors. Like anything, once you have a better understanding, it's easier to describe.
    3
  2758. This is nitpicking, but "aged" is a term for older people. Almost like the word "spry". You would never talk about a teenager and call them spry. She was only 19 in this video.

  2759. Not really. That car is probably over $500K in Korea.

  2760. It’s relative / opportunity cost of life. For normal people (that don’t have a business reason), reading a book or meeting with friends in person is much healthier.

  2761. Most girls don’t hit their peak until their mid-20s. She’s 21 when she did this shoot. She looks like a professional model these days.

  2766. Yeah, fuck watching educational documentaries!!! The slow dumbing of America.

  2767. Can't let this go. The whole fucking definition of a slave is they are unpaid and not free, you dumbass. There is a document in the archives showing payments to the fucking slave MASTERS, not the slaves. People are just ignorant jackasses. How do you fucking get dressed and feed yourself everyday?
    3
  2768. Dude - you are really ignorant. Read though all of it. Slaves were trained to cut the rock as well. 1 or 2 or 3 or...100 slaves. It still was built by slaves. https://www.whitehousehistory.org/questions/did-slaves-build-the-white-house

  2769. Oddly, her teeth bother me. Not a fan when people even out their teeth like that.

  2776. I’m Korean and born way way after your Dad. Grew up in the East Coast and always felt like an outsider. Moved to Hawaii for school and for once, I didn’t feel like an oddball. Helped me build my confidence and worry about normal stuff. Moved to Cali after school because of the job market in Hawaii.

  2779. As an American, we are a weaker nation due to the breach in national security. Absent of national secrets leaking, the bigger concern is the long term damage. Our allies are going to be way more hesitant in sharing intel with us knowing that we can’t be trusted.

  2780. Man, China’s soft power is off the charts.

  2781. lol, last quarter, BABA grew by +5% in revenue with lower margins. I'll cheat and not use their operating margin because it's terrible. Adjusted EBITA up by a whopping +1%. Going to get worse since that's Oct-Dec data. Next quarter is lapping their "re-opening".

  2787. Once cats get used to you, they really warm up. I used to feed feral cats and they would hear the sound of my flip flops and would come up running to me. I’d have to switch to shoes sometimes to walk by them. Also, playing with them was a big deal. I took an old iPhone cord and wrapped the end with tape and was a Macgyverish cat toy.

  2797.  @negi9076  Dude - people do internships while they are in college. It's getting real world experience while the company pays you peanuts. Also, it level sets your expectations and generally how you fit into the workplace. And, it helps you get hired before you graduate.
    3
  2798.  @negi9076  lol, yeah. Doesn't sound like they have the same setup. We would bring in interns occasionally in the office, but it was a lot of work for the current staff. Typically, we would put in more than we'd get out. But, we did hire a few people. But, we paid them pretty fairly. Slightly below entry level full time salary. (Man, brings back memories. Forgot that I did a few presentations / workshops with my cross functional partner at a college.)

But, they were very slim cats and never even close to overweight. Maybe it's because we had 2 story house with a basement and the litter box was in the basement. Maybe the cats got more exercise naturally because there was more walking and exploring to do.

Loans / bailout were close to 2.9% of total GDP and total losses were 2.4% of GDP (for a single year).

And, for example, Teddy Park would probably leave YG if they got bought out. Would be a waste of money.

We borrowed it, so with interest payments, its going to continue to cost $75-$100+ BILLION a year in interest payments in perpetuity. My brother and his friends were military dudes. They fought and some died over there. We spent 20 years trying to help the Afghan people and it was a total waste of time and money. (Yes, we only have ourselves to blame.) Enough is enough. This is reality. It's easy to throw out useless comments when you have no skin in the game. And, let me demonstrate what $2+ TRILLION means. IT'S $300 MILLION A DAY FOR 20 YEARS.

Or no one took me back from the orphanage when they found out that I was taken there. I've never really pressed my Korean relatives for the full story. Haha, the kids have it easy these days.

I worked as a bartender, but it was really a service bar for the restaurant. I knew enough Japanese to tell them where the bathroom was and to get their server if they needed something. Pachinko while legal has a sideways relationship to gambling. Gambling always has a connection to organized crime. I never chatted with any of the customers, but we spoke in English because its basically my first language. Really the only conversation I remember having with a customer there.

Later in the year, another round of wage cuts, this time an additional 5%, as well as an 18-month cessation of pension fund contributions, would be required to get the debt-for-equity deal done. - The following year, those wage concessions would be extended into 2015 (and eventually into 2019), and the company’s new pension contribution rate would be just 25% of the rate in place in 2009 — all part of Zollars’ final restructuring, which concluded in the summer of 2011. The union’s equity stake would increase to 25% The Union cut wages for a decade+ to free up cash in exchange for equity. They were literally betting on the survival of the company.

Marcos in the Philippines. You think all that money got funneled to the right places? But all the sudden, we are fretting about corruption when a country is in the middle of war after getting invaded. You people are crazy.

  2952. A few differences: - I don’t think Japan had oversupply in real estate. Just bubble pricing - Japan had / has a much stronger middle class - Japan has been about quality and not a race to the bottom - way more ethics / morals in Japan Lost decade implies stagnation. China likely will be sliding slowly.

  2959. There is a 200 page report with some redactions. Feel free to read it. This sequence is bad... - Mullen was pronounced "fit to train" even though he had to be transported to the barracks in a wheelchair. - There were no medical personnel on hand in the barracks to keep Mullen or any of his classmates under observation - When he and three others started experiencing increased difficulty breathing, other sailors called the medical clinic and were told they could call 911 but they might end up being washed out of the course. Excerpt from a news article: Fifty-eight members of Mullen's class of SEAL candidates started Hell Week — just 21 finished. By Thursday of Hell Week, Mullen was in what one of his classmates called "full messed up mode," coughing up dark fluid but unwilling to seek medical attention for fear he would be dropped from the course. Twice in the closing hours of Hell Week he was pulled from training and administered oxygen. Once he had to ride from one location to another in an ambulance. After he completed Hell Week, Mullen and the other trainees were given physical exams and sent to their barracks to recover. Mullen was pronounced "fit to train" even though he had to be transported to the barracks in a wheelchair. There were no medical personnel on hand in the barracks to keep Mullen or any of his classmates under observation. When he and three others started experiencing increased difficulty breathing, other sailors called the medical clinic and were told they could call 911 but they might end up being washed out of the course. By the time someone finally called 911, it was too late to save Mullen.

I'm too lazy to research which is used for each type of category of petroleum based industrial product. Oil is categorized on a matrix: Light to Heavy on one axis. And, sweet to sour on the other axis. And, 75% of oil is used for gasoline / diesel. The other 25% is for industrial uses.

But, while not relatable to many, this show does open the curtain behind the scenes. Lee Yoo-ri is a pack rat that cooks in huge quantities. Han Ji-Hye was an all around nice person. Jung Il-woo was a pretty decent cook. This girl just isn’t as interesting.

The presence of others did not seem to deter Craig as he moved his right foot so that it touched the side of my left foot which was within my stall area. Craig then proceeded to swipe his left hand under the stall divider several times, with the palm of his hand facing upward

  2991.  @Aries816  It was a valid point until about 10 years ago. The US went through fracking 1.0. But, the real kicker is fracking 2.0 when the technology really kicked in. The ability to horizontally drill has dropped the cost per well. The US went from 9M bpd in 1985 to 5M bpd in mid-2000s. It went back up to 9M by mid-2010s. Now, they are projecting close to 15M bpd by 2025. Generally, the US producing more oil than consuming (gets complicated because of the different types of oil).

  2995. There are 2 things to understand about currency: 1- it’s a zero sum game. If something goes down, another has to go up. People always talk about the dollar is going to depreciate, but what currency will go up proportionally 2- reserve currency: no one wants to hang onto currency and just let it sit there. A future return is wanted. Don’t think the Saudis want to buy a Chinese soccer team or crappy Chinese real estate

  2996. Don't conflate the past with the present. Korea was extremely poor in the 1960-70s. Still economically struggling in the 80s. Wasn't until 1990-00s until Korea got on really solid footing. Korea has some of the strictest international adoption laws out there now. Restrictions on age, spouse age gap, weight, income, current amount of kids, education, health.

  2997.  @someguyik  I'm literally a Korean adoptee and I volunteered in an orphanage in Korea. Quick internet research shows 142 international adoptions in '22. That's down -98% from the peak. And, I betcha some of those adoptions are special needs which are extremely hard to place.

A US spousal / fiance visa is not permanent. IR1 is for 2 years (likely, lighter investigation / supervision). CR1 is for 10 years (likely an aggressive interview with later check-ins) I'm assuming you are talking about the K3 visa that is temporary until the other visas are approved. Like I said earlier, people make way too many assumptions with their home country rules and foreign countries rules being the same. A quick easy search shows visa processing time is 12-24 months for the US. That's why the K3 visa is necessary.

  3046.  @iiyyxxnn  Yeah dude. When I was in college, Me, a black dude, a white dude, a Jewish guy and a Pakistani guy would go out to some of the DC clubs. Not sure why the Pakistani got the separate classification, but I was the Asian dude and not the Korean guy. And, my first close Asian friend was a Filipino. We met when we exploring rushing frats (which we didn't do). We go to some of the Asian clubs. When a lot of Asians get together, things get a bit more specific. At work, I hung out with mostly females. The Chinese girl, the Vietnamese girl or the Filipina girl (women actually). This is just a random video though.

  3068.  @Nikotromus  I don't even know if I agree with the concept, but commercial real estate collapsing could cause a systemic failure. China isn't as securitized as the US with debt. Regional banks in the US have "more" exposure to commercial real estate, but most of the debt is offload via bonds. The risk is spread out. Have to imagine that the net of Chinese banks have a way higher % of their portfolio in commercial real estate.

  3080. Always wondered why people didn't question the rent payment vs mortgage payment spread. Excluding expensive places for foreign corporate workers, I saw some crazy numbers. It sounded like a Chinese mortgage payment will 2x the payment if you rented the same place. And, in some extreme cases, I saw 3x or more. That's why some people didn't even bother renting their places and just left properties sitting there and unfinished. Always felt like the arbitrage was renting a place and using the savings for well, not Chinese stocks.

  3081. I follow a few Chinese stocks. The big names are doing ok. Still growing sales, but at a relatively modest rate. PDD is the exception, but a lot of that is overseas business. If names like BABA, Tencent, PDD etc grow and steal business, they aren't going to hire more or even expand more. Their ecosystem can handle another 10-20% without spending a ton more on capex or just hire a few more workers, but no way are they going to hire +20% or spend +20% in capex. All those brick and mortar stores will have downstream impacts when they start closing.

  3082. lol, they are going to kill their any hope for international business. According to a source familiar with the implementation of the “firewall,” the tool, acquired from China and under installation by the Ministry of Defense since May, is deployed at cable landing stations in Pakistan, the place where the undersea internet data cable meets a country's internet system.

  3089. That's not how hydroelectric power works. Power = (Height of Dam) x (River Flow) x (Efficiency) / 11.8 in terms of kilowatts Basically, the dams need to be tall to maximize power. Then, add in poor engineering that weaken the dam wall if the water gets too high.

  3090. The Marines decided to disband their tank battalion. There are 250 Abrams that are being transferred to the Army. I’m sure we can send a few to Canada instead.

  3091. My Korean grandma lived into her late 80s. When I last saw her in her mid-80s, she was still going to the market, cooking and taking care of my grandfather. lol, and still smoking cigarettes. She fell and it slowed her down. Not sure if it was the fall or not being able to do the same stuff that ended up killing her. Somehow, my grandfather hung around for another 5+ years into his 90s even though he had Alzheimer and my aunt / cousin had to watch after him. My other grandma lived into her mid-late 90s.

  3093. Alex doesn’t drink, smoke or do drugs. He feels a responsibility to help out the less fortunate (his Foundation). He’s seem genuinely a good dude, so no need to lecture him on how to live his life.

  3094. Not sure why it took me so long, but the Aussies have the best analysis on China. Heavily impacted by China, but far enough way they can speak their mind. HK is too close to CCP China now to speak freely.

  3095. The street wasn’t closed for cars. Big error.

  3096. Wait, what? US fire departments are extremely efficient.
    3
  3097. Modern Kpop origins all are based out of US. Teddy Park, JYP and Lee Soo-man all spent time in the US. Netflix saved the Korean TV industry. The US has the largest population of Koreans outside of Korea. I have mixed feelings about tipping in Korea, but to bash the US is pushing a stupid agenda.

  3098. Seriously dude? Have you looked at their per capita income? The middle class hasn’t been developed enough yet. Localized economies only work when people have a large share of disposable income.

  3100.  @Lisa-zz5si  Mostly positive. Had just graduated college, moved to a different state, had been working at my first job out of college for less than 6 months, was having issues with my Korean girlfriend in a long distance relationship and then they contacted me. It added a bit more chaos in a somewhat chaotic time for me, haha. Life would have it that I had just moved to the city where my one of my Korean uncles lived. Me in Korea for the 1st time: no translators and translate apps weren't available yet. It was a somewhat awkward experience. https://imgur.com/a/6jXicYq

  3103. NFLX saved the Korean TV industry. While Korea were exporting to Japan and other SE Asian countries, the big dollars were coming from China. And, then China banned Korean TV and Kpop. Not sure Mr Sunshine gets made in the same way without NFLX shelling out upfront money. The bigger NFLX trend was roping in film people and giving them a healthy budget to carry out their pet projects: Squid Game, DP, Narco Saints, Move to Heaven. All first time TV projects from film people. (Waiting for them to rope in Bong Joon-ho to do a series.)

  3125. Xu Xiaodong knows about the social credit system. In 2017 Xu insulted tai chi grandmaster Chen Xiaowang, calling him a “dog” and a “fraud”. Chen, instead of settling the dispute in the ring, sued Xu and won. Xu was recently ordered by a Chinese court to pay 400,000 yuan (nearly $58,000) in fines and publicly apologize on social media for seven consecutive days for insulting Chen. According to Apple Daily, Xu Xiaodong has already paid the fine, but he has refused to apologize. Because of his failure to comply with the sentence, last week a Chinese court lowered Xu’s credit score to “D”. A credit score “D” means that Xu will no longer be allowed to buy plane tickets or train tickets, purchase real estate. He also will be banned from star-rated hotels, restaurants and nightclubs, and his children will not be able to study in private schools.

  3134.  @marygaylebrown8862  Many many years ago, immigrants changed their last names when immigrating to the US. Essentially, they would shorten or anglicize it. People don't change their last names when moving to the US now. If the dude becomes a Korean citizen, I get it. Even trying to find a first name that is near the dude's first name makes sense. Changing your whole name is just weird.

  3150. There was probably a time period where people could sweep stuff under the rug. But, surely she doesn't actually think she's not going to jail right? There are some countries where you can pay off the victims and get a lesser sentence. The US ain't one of them. Has to be at least 10 years for each kid. Yikes, just did a google search. The general rule is that a defendant serves 50 percent of his or her sentence while in prison. Violent felony is 85 percent. Yeah, she needs to get 30+ years, so she can serve at least 15 years in jail. She's 60, so she'll get out when she's 75.

  3180. As someone that dabbled in coke (and other drugs. Never opioids though) in my younger years, I feel very fortunate to have missed this era. No one chooses to die when they experiment in recreational drugs. Not only is the morally right thing to do, its an economic one. We are losing 90K+ people a year due to overdose deaths. It's having an economic hit as we are losing people out of the labor force.

  3195. I like this statement and agree with it. Geopolitics is extremely messy. I'm American. Qatar outwardly are allies, but behind the scenes does some questionable behavior. Saudis leadership "generally" are allies with us, but the many of the Saudi population isn't. We've been allies with Egypt for decades and supporting with military aid and they almost sent weapons to the Russians. lol, we sold weapons to the Iranians secretly in the 1980s.

  3198.  @Lamin_G  The parking lot of the hospital. Hospital totally undamaged. Impact crater the size of a garbage can lid. 10m away from the impact crater, you have cars that are basically undamaged. The parking lot basically has the same damage if an EV car caught on fire. Only 3 cars have any structural damage. Zero chance its an IDF bomb. (These were TASS pictures: Russian media.)

  3206. And, there are added benefits. My cousin's husband (native Korean) has worked in Malaysia / Vietnam for a Korean company. You think he's learning the local language? No, they speak English. It's easier to find qualified local people in SE Asia that speak English than Korean.

  3208.  @tanchienhyi7363  The thing is there are whiteys out there that know vastly more knowledge about specific Asian culture than me. This guy ain't it. There is some white dude in Korea that speaks fluent Korean and lives in a hanok (traditional Korean house). Dude likely knows way more about Korean culture than me. The proper angle for "youth" culture comparison would have been the "suneung" (college entrance exam) which is something is very similar in Korean and Chinese societies. Japan has their version, but it doesn't seem to be as intense. Regardless, even in the States, the 3 ethnicities have vastly different "personality" traits. My good friend was 2nd generation Chinese and her husband is Japanese and I'm Korean. Our personalities are a microcosm of the three cultures.

  3209. You realize how many hours go into this type of investigation? I read the press release and not the full charging document. You think the FBI just slapped together evidence like wire transfers from shell companies in 3 different countries with wire payment notes.

  3213. Gas was $2 because the economy was tanking. Did you realize that oil was sold for -$37 a barrel? US oil prices turn negative as demand dries up The price of a barrel of West Texas Intermediate (WTI), the benchmark for US oil, fell as low as minus $37.63 a barrel. The whole idea of monetary expansion is to get people to spend and not tank the economy. Trump approved the monetary expansion with the biggest deficit in US history in 2020. The alternative is being China right now. The US did the best out of the big economies on keeping things afloat and somewhat normalized.

  3220.  @karlaschreiber2040  Yeah, it's a public school established in the mid 1900s. My family roots trace back to George Mason, so when I was a kid, I was like, "hey, shouldn't I be able to attend for free?". JMU (James Madison University) is a public university as well.

  3231. There are thousands of positions. Looking at 4K positions. But, 1200+ are positions that Congress needs to confirm. It's not 3 months. It's 5 months until the President changes.

  3232. Ugh, that’s not going to do it. Unfortunately, you need a set of sharpening stones to get kitchen knives super sharp.

  3234.  @huluqi3972  People bitching about corporations on a platform created by a corporation. The irony is rich.
    3
  3235. Any bystander can tell these kids aren't going for normal adoptions and instead some weird nefarious reason. The police are basically just waiting for people to turn themselves in. There are hundreds of babies in orphanages that can be legally adopted. 34:27 Love Korean women like this. She's so angry with the ridiculousness of the system. You can tell she wants to punch someone.

  3236. Sounds like Bulgaria is producing them for $500 a piece (not including packing, shipping, etc). Likely, 2x that for US production.

  3240. Disagree. Evergrande is fascinating because they'll need to open their books up. All the dirt will be out in the open. Have to imagine that asset values are way over stated.

  3241.  @FAFORednickincell  Wait, what? How does that relate to your economic reform theory? (which is really just investing in different industries)
    3
  3242. It's labor arbitrage company. Customers are paying US prices for vacations. The companies are paying foreign workers a lower wage vs if it was US land based. Mixed feelings about this. The workers are getting paid more than their home country, but I'm sure there is "some" exploitation going on.
    3
  3243. lol, what concessions? US military ain't leaving South Korea.

  3244. The Women's universities need to meet and look at leveraging certain majors. Yeah, some schools have different admissions standards, but that makes the most sense to me.

  3247. What the heck is going on? I watched cartoons as a kid, but this is music.
    3
  3248. Using the price to income ratios as a baseline, -75% gets prices in-line with the US. That's near the bottom. But, then it's not really an investment and it's still an oversupplied market.

  3249. Look at some of the multi-party systems around the world. They are wacked as well.

  3251. The problem is we have 1 factory that produces 8,000 GMLRS a year. Realistically, we should be building another factory. The demand is going to way outstrip supply. And, you can imagine the HIMARS production is even slower.

    3
  3254.  @9663mu  I'm not an Israel supporter, but I'm logical and have a brain. Israel does not have the same ROE as western countries. The US wouldn't even sent a missile for UBL and had to do a risky mission. Israel doesn't have the same type of restraint.

  3260. WTF. The US has way way more murders per capita than Korea or Japan. Japan murder rate is tiny. They rank nearly dead least at 0.26 per 100K people. Korea is 0.60 and way far the the scale. What country do you live?
    3
  3261. lol, someone put out the directive to pretend to be nice to other countries.

  3262. Sure, it was all America's fault. lol, it was the South Korean government's policy to allow these adoptions for multiple reasons.

  3267. I made the same comment above and just deleted it. I've done presentations in a group setting (business updates weekly). If I used the "like" in the presentation, people would look at me strange because it would devalue the meaning. We did "like" well last week.
    3
  3268.  @MrUncleBob  Because that is the lower limit of semi-normal business. They are always debuting new groups. The devil is in the details. The regulators would need clear cut written information ie "wow, her press conference is a big deal. Could definitely hurt the HYBE stock price". Anything less likely will be a gray area. Maybe at most, he would have to give up the losses he avoided (if that).

  3269. Somehow leftists became simps for the Hezzies. Just weird and irrational behavior. The enemy of my enemy is my friend nonsense.

  3270. Well, that's weird. InNOut has been very slow on expansion because they want to control quality ie vet their suppliers.
    3
  3271. Come on dude. Stop.
    3
  3272. I think the US is the greatest country on the planet and is still one of the few countries where you can find a niche of small or large success without coming from a wealthy background. Also, the US created a cycle of generational poverty for a class of people that "kinda" got civil rights in the 1960s. Mega-brain Shapiro has no idea how both these things can be true.
    3
  3273.  @_endless_road_1413  In theory, it's the cheaper method. Chinese citizens have paid inflated prices on a home and it will cost maybe 1/4 of the home value to finish and hand over the property.

  3283. ATACMS will eventually get there. But, the quantities are severely limited. Likely, under 1K in stock. PrSM is the ATACMS replacement, but won't be ready until the end of the year. Likely, a couple hundred max could be sent.

  3289. That's some really bad strategy. UA needs fast movers with JDAMs. A10 has been offered and examined. Will be ineffective against air defenses. UA learning to fly the F-15 isn't an issue. But, finding proper storage and maintenance is the problem. Planes are probably the least cost effective hardware out there.

  3294.  @nakki889  There are 3 areas to be careful in SF: the area in the video (Bayview / Hunter's Point), Western Addition and the Tenderloin. I used to live 1/4 mile from the Western addition and I hung out in the Tenderloin at night. Every US city has trouble areas. Not a fan of denigrating a specific class of people. The US didn't have civil rights until the 1960s. Pretty hard for a certain type of people to gain and pass down generational wealth when they were discriminated for centuries. When I was younger, a friend of a friend of mine used to deal drugs and carry a gun. My friend's Dad was locked up in prison. Me, I grew up in the suburbs and had a idyllic life. If the roles were reversed, I likely would have gotten in serious trouble.

  3299.  @TheProudWife515  Yeap, I have no problem with any religion. It's their life. I have a problem when they think their rules should supersede societies rules and / or other people should follow their religious rules (Danish Muhammad cartoon, Salman Rushdie etc).

  3300. Feels like Fu Peng will get a tea appointment soon.

  3301. Used to be hard to import drugs into island countries. Now, they can just drop them offshore with an anchor and GPS. Pretty easy to blend in as a fishing boat.
    3
  3302. GOP Private Equity America. The company had $1.6 billion in real estate assets that the private equity sold off in the 2014. Instead of owning $1.6 billion in assets, they had to start paying rent.

  3303. Don’t even remember this one. Nah bro, 23 years ain’t enough.

  3304. Easier to get away with it in the past. Harder to develop relationships out of school though. No internet. No mobile phones. A little weird if your teacher is always calling your landline.

  3306.  @chaseorosco9017  Basically, he should have complied. That's a standard saying for a different type of people on these videos.
    3
  3307. Oh my god, the Federal Reserve was created in 1913 because JP Morgan had to step in and bailout the system. And, the US went off the gold system (mostly) in 1933 because the country was in the worst economic crisis in history.
    3
  3308. You are underestimating what a 90 degree dive feels like. The last thing on someone’s mind is to flip on the coms. If one of the pilots was deliberately crashing the plane, the other pilot had a few other things on his mind.

  3309. Interesting career. Early success young, but then subpar acting career, but was really successful as a model. Then, her last 10 years as a Korean actress have been really successful although she is very selective in her choices now.
    3
  3310. Just not accurate for developed economies. People retire. New graduates come into the workforce to replace them. I'm going to make an assumption that many of the Chinese retirees aren't white collar. Stuff breaks down when economic cycles are condensed.
    3
  3311. Obviously, you aren't a West Wing watcher. In 1787, there was a sizable block of delegates who were initially opposed to the Bill of Rights. One member of the Georgia delegation had to stay by way of opposition: 'If we list the set of rights, some fools in the future are going to claim that people are entitled only to those rights enumerated and no longer'.

  3312. JFC. Ignore this video. As soon as I heard "gold standard", I wanted to punch my computer monitor. - CHINA'S M2 is $40 trillion - 1 metric ton = $72 million $40 trillion / $72 million = 555,555 metric tones THERE ARE ONLY 250,000 METRIC TONS DISCOVERED ON THE PLANET.

  3314. Don't want to denigrate the old campaign staff, but one of the deputy campaign managers for Biden was in middle school when Plouffe was running the Obama '08 campaign. Harris brought the heavyweights back: Plouffe, Stephanie Cutter, Jen Palmieri and the guy that ran the battleground (swing state) strategy for Obama '12, Mitch Stewart and the old Obama ad / media firm. Some others as well. And, don't forget about the fundraising. The money is pouring in.
    3
  3315. Yo! you are way off topic. Korea was never colonized by the west. Korean adoptions overseas was a strategic initiative by the Korean government back then. Maybe not the best ethical decision, but a semi-rational one.

  3326. Watching Hyeri trying to act sexy is as awkward if it was my little sister.
    3
  3327. Not a fan of when the 12M graduates number is thrown out. The absolute number of jobs is even higher since not everyone goes to college. Plus, they delayed retirement for older people, so less people are going to roll off. Too lazy to calculate the net new jobs needed, but the economy needs to somehow create 10M+ jobs per year. What a total disaster.
    3
  3328. My guess is that the choppers were so hard to maintain, the pilots didn't get enough flight hours. And, they probably have sub-par mechanics.

  3340. Who is up next to mediate? Iran? North Korea? Maybe we can dig up Stalin and he can take a shot.
    3
  3341. Stalin sent all the Koreans to central Asia / Eastern Europe during WW2. Pre-WW2 many Koreans fled across the border when Japan invaded / occupied Korea. Some had settled prior to the occupation.

  3349. And lazy people, the exchange rate is 7.3 yuan to 1 dollar. Just cheat and divide by 7 if you want dollars. (Euro and dollar are close to parity, so dividing by 7 is close enough. We aren’t getting a grade after class.) Doing math in your head keeps your brain sharp. I used to practice doing % change without a calculator in meetings.

  3351. Legalize ALL drugs. Less need for border patrol, DEA and prisons. Would put the drug cartels out of business. Problem solved.

  3352. If you want your kids to be immersed in religion, do it on the weekends. It's pretty obvious that a secular education is going to invest more time in the standard subjects. Only so much time in the day.
    3
  3353. @ That is the proper take. Getting a liberal arts degree from a 2nd / 3rd rate college won't do much for people. I'd hope it would be obvious to most people that a technical (STEM) bachelor's will have more value than a degree in History. It's unfortunate that the college cheat code isn't talked about more. People should go to their local community college for 2 years. It's really cheap. Then, transfer to a good state public college. Will only cost like $25K (not including rent, food etc). That's a doable debt level for someone with a degree.

  3359. Grew up on an East Coast city. It was way worse back then and there. I was the only Asian in my suburb town and my (white) friends always stuck up for me. After high school, I hung out in the city more. But, I was growing my hair long and people never screwed around me with. Stereotypes work sometimes and people just assumed I knew martial arts (which I didn't). Never been to San Ramon, but seems like its heavily populated with Asians. In all the years living in SF, no one ever said anything about my race.

  3366.  @Defective1313  Have no idea what the total value on the housing market is anymore. It was in the $50 trillion range. CCP can't manipulate a $50 trillion market. Look at the stock market. It's $10 trillion and it's terrible. Edit: FRED has Italy housing prices over time. I could see something like that. And, Italy has some beautiful old houses + you actually own it and don't lease it from the CCP.

Thailand is generally neutral. Malaysia / Indonesia tend to swing in the "other" direction. Singapore is neutral, but maybe tilts a little to the West. Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos tend to economically driven. The small Pacific island nations are starting to get bought off by China.

  3390. lol, Reagan who famously gave undocumented immigrants amnesty and failed to put in a punishment provision for companies that hire undocumented workers. And, blew up the deficit. 1981: Statement on United States Immigration and Refugee Policy – “Our nation is a nation of immigrants. More than any other country, our strength comes from our own immigrant heritage and our capacity to welcome those from other lands. No free and prosperous nation can by itself accommodate all those who seek a better life or flee persecution. We must share this responsibility with other countries.” 1989: The past few days when I’ve been at that window upstairs, I’ve thought a bit of the “shining city upon a hill"... And she’s still a beacon, still a magnet for all who must have freedom, for all the pilgrims from all the lost places who are hurtling through the darkness, toward home.

  3398.  @gibbo_303  We (the US) probably have hundreds of people assigned to decoding Chinese military weapons and hardware. We (the US) literally have a section of the Airforce called China Aerospace Studies Institute. The China Aerospace Studies Institute (CASI) is a United States Department of the Air Force think tank which examines all facets of the People's Republic of China and Chinese Communist Party's efforts to project power in the air and space domains. Part of Air University, it provides support to the Air Force, the Space Force, the joint services, civilian federal agencies, and academic research institutions. Fun Fact: This branch released the unclassified version of the China Rocket Force last year. It created a big problem for Xi since much of the intel was likely gathered by the CIA via a turned Chinese spy / agent. And, it's responsible for some of the missing officers in China's military.

  3415.  @samanthajones4877  Random commenter = fake economic speak from Trump University Then, you have real economics. The cost of an imported product to consumers isn’t the only thing that matters to an economy. The cost to producers also matters. What is cheap to households as consumers is only cheap if the cost of the implied subsidies is absorbed by the exporting country. If it is absorbed by the importing country, it is not “cheap” to households because households are not just consumers—they are also producers.
    3
  3416.  @samanthajones4877  lol, how many US companies are banned from operating in CCP China? How many US companies have been forced to create a JV to operate in CCP China? China has banned way more goods and services from US companies than the US has. the United States either unilaterally or with other like-minded countries would implement trade policies to prevent surplus countries from externalizing the costs of their industrial policies (in other words, from running persistent trade surpluses). This could be done either with restrictions on the ability of surplus countries to dump goods into the U.S. economy or with restrictions ie Tariffs

  3445.  @0xyGen_2.p0  This isn't a recent English vernacular rule. The Oxford English Dictionary traces singular they back to 1375, where it appears in the medieval romance William and the Werewolf. Except for the old-style language of that poem, its use of singular they to refer to an unnamed person seems very modern. Here’s the Middle English version: ‘Hastely hiȝed eche . . . þei neyȝþed so neiȝh . . . þere william & his worþi lef were liand i-fere.’ In modern English, that’s: ‘Each man hurried . . . till they drew near . . . where William and his darling were lying together.’

Seizing the offshore assets which have little value or have been seized already is the easy part.

It's the same company that the CCP shadow banned and encouraged its citizens to boycott after THAAD was installed in Korea (land owned by Lotte). Lotte invested $10B in a decade into China stores / factories. Overnight, it's business went down the toilet. Most of the stores and factories were sold off before the pandemic. Almost a blessing in disguise. Allowed them to expand into SE Asia earlier.

  3526.  @rndmvar  Well, haven't really thought this through 100%, but Japan is going through almost the opposite problem. They have all these established multi-generational businesses and no one wants to take them over. Pretty crazy. There is no such thing as a 3 generational business in CCP China because of Mao (except politics). A 2019 government report estimated that about 1.27 million small business owners would be 70 or older by 2025 and have no successors. Waves of closures will mean the loss of specialized craftsmanship, unique services and original restaurant recipes that make up Japan's social and cultural fabric, he said.

  3540. Some scientists are going to re-education / hard labor camps. How dare you disappoint Supreme Leader Kim!

  3541.  @zaryalace7475  That's not balance. Learning phonetics of a few syllables is not the same things as learning / memorizing 3000 kanji.

  3542.  @ProjectILT  Yup, zero chance Soyou was driving manual.
    2
  3543.  @Sara-uk5eg  I think sometimes people need to separate "criticism" vs "hate / dislike". Taeyeon is a great musician, but her public persona is just "different" and not traditionally friendly. I can see how that can invite criticism. Everyone loves her music though. She's the OST queen along with Lyn.
    2
  3544. Because that's what people do. There are a lot of similarities between Suzy and Seolhyun. The Tae-Hye-Ji trio will always be compared as well.

  3545. lol, you live in Cali. No one cares that much about light / dark there. I’ve lived in Hawaii / SF and no one cared.

  3546. @Bobby Lol, and Melania was hyper sincere?

  3547. Wrong audience for this type of drama and not enough suspense. Death dramas only work with older people / audience and the hot dramas have more of a suspense angle.

  3548. Korea isn’t a large music market. Not sure there is a lot of space for duplicates with this “mature” genre.

  3549. hfontanez98 I am a little more empathetic. Not all of us win the sperm lottery and we all are impacted by our surrounding environment. I became good friends with a co-worker in my late teens and we grew up in quite different environments. I was fortunate to be raised in a 2 parent relatively stable middle class household. My friend wasn't as fortunate and grew up with his grandmother without much parental supervision. It played a big part of how our futures played out. I believe we should look out for the less fortunate especially if one is more successful. While you quoted JFK, I'll quote RFK, “Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.” Yeah, it's an idealist view and pragmatically, it's much harder to execute. It's a better world if we are our brother's (and sister's) keeper.
    2
  3550.  @ektaghosh7506  It's all relative right? Her (Park Ji-eun) other projects have been mega hits since 2012. It's a murderers' row *Crash Landing on You (tvN, 2019–2020) * Legend of the Blue Sea (SBS, 2016) * The Producers (KBS2, 2015) * My Love from the Star (SBS, 2013–2014) * My Husband Got a Family (KBS2, 2012) It's like when Tom Cruise movies bring in $150M. Sounds good, but not even close to some of his big movies.

  3551.  @marquezfloren1285  She's in a very big 2nd tier women in their late 30s age range (started acting in early 2000s): Obvious 1st Tier: Jun Ji-Hyun, Song Hye-Kyo, Kim Tae-Hee, Hyori?, Eugene? 2nd Tier: Han Ji-Hye, Han Ji-min, Le Bo-young, Lee Na-young, Han Ji-won, Jung Ryeo Won, Sung Yu-ri (I'm sure I'm missing some)
    2
  3552.  @luulmaogi2293  I'm not talking about acting ability. I'm talking about female Korean icons and beauty. Tae-Hye-Ji or the Troika transcend any roles they played in film / TV. And yes, obviously as a Korean, you don't understand this.

  3554. Dude - you are white. Sneak into the country next election and vote, haha.
    2
  3555. ***** Emblematic of this campaign, this highlights the contrast between the two and people start questioning the sane one. Normally, this wouldn't look odd (her walking over) as all candidates usually do this. But since Trump is just wandering over, standing in odd places, hugging his chair etc, it makes Hillary stand out as well due to the contrast.

  3556. Across the globe, kids get bullied for any differences. It's a part of nearly every society. (Grew up Korean in the US before being Korean was trendy.)

  3564. These are really long dramas. They are better to listen while multi-tasking. If you have to read subtitles, this type of drama moves very slow.
    2
  3565. She’s in 6th grade and she made a deal with her parents. She has full authority over the birds by giving stuff up. The kid seems really smart. With that said, they should build a large creative bird cage spanning the walls in multiple rooms. Will give them more freedom, but control the poop area.

  3566. Hyori debuted in ‘98 and has been admired for her looks since then. She’s had huge CF campaigns including her soju sponsorship.

  3567. Haha, I like the 1 comment about National Geographic putting up documentaries for free. Idiot, they are illegally ripped.
    2
  3568. KBS is essentially government owned. KBS World is specifically setup to spread Korean culture. That's why you'll see subtitles with KBS world videos. The political term is call "soft" power.
    2
  3569. It's pretty loaded for a long series.
    2
  3570. This drama turned with more than 50% of the episodes remaining. Some wait until 30% or less.
    2
  3571. She's being part humble, part truthful. She was pretty plain, but cute 2-3 years before this. Then, she lost her baby fat and just natural aging into a more mature look. She's popular because she really is pretty now and has a very proportional figure (she has good curves for a skinny girl).

  3574. Reagan wouldn't make it through the primary and would be considered a center right candidate. *Raised taxes 10 times and 7 out of the 8 years in office *Tripled the federal deficit *Gave amnesty to 3 million undocumented workers *Iran-Contra deal -- basically sending arms to Iran *Helped create the pre-cursor to the Taliban / OBL in Afghanistan *"my dream…became a world free of nuclear weapons." *Grew government (not smaller government) with 1981 spending of $599B to 1989 of $991B *Supported gun control (in 1991): http://www.nytimes.com/1991/03/29/opinion/why-i-m-for-the-brady-bill.html

  3581. Except, Korean drinking culture is very centric. You hang out with your own group and don’t interact with other groups. It would get old after a while.

  3582. Real estate was 25% of the economy in China. It's down -50% from it's peak from a few years ago. Sure, everything is fine.

  3589. I'm still waiting on phase 2 of the trade deal, lol CCP China is the odd intersection of the left and right. Labor is against the CCP (obvious reasons). Progressives are against the CCP (human rights). Hawks are against CCP (security).

  3590. Ironic that he's CEO of Subway and Subway got sold to a PE firm. My old apartment was 1 block away from Burger King. Was a city that frowned / zoned out fast food chains. I think there are under 10 total! fast food stores in residential neighborhoods. The only time I'd go when I was hungover on the weekend and didn't want to go far from my apartment, lol. (McDs was 3-4 blocks away. I'd drive there sometimes, lol. Not a huge fan of McDs, but I think the hot mustard sauce was the draw for me.)
    2
  3591. Generally, that's what most countries will do. Then, it's too late when their own sovereign rights are trampled upon.
    2
  3592. The problem about polls is they have to guess on the turnout of each segment. It's all guesswork.
    2
  3593. I've been curious on European's attitudes. Canada is doing an overt boycott of anything American. Are large portions of the EU population doing the same? (Other than Tesla)

  3594.  @augustus331  lol, you forgot about common prosperity right? Regardless, tell me how you are going to model the DCF cash flows on a stagnant and falling trend?
    2
  3595. lol, no mention of actual prices and housing is still extremely overvalued. It’s not just the delivery, but buying a hard asset with the potential of a -20% or more decline.
    2
  3596. I might be applying for refugee status if Trump wins the election. (joking. I'm actually eligible for Korean citizenship if I wanted it.)

  3600. 3 years old, 20 months and 6 months old. Literally, almost the bare minimum between kids. Do these people not know about contraception?
    2
  3601. Was it the Flying Ginsu?
    2
  3602. One of the rare times, I’ve seen huge bodyguards on this show.
    2
  3603. Not sure if that analogy works. Usually associate that with some type of risky behavior.
    2
  3604. I’d say the number is 2-3x the official number. Total mismatch of labor pool now. Go back to 2000 and look at the births. Was around 18M. 2/3 of kids are getting degrees. Zero chance China is creating 12M white collar jobs per year.
    2
  3605.  @말라유  lol, you have no concept of math. That number is 38% higher than Indonesia's GDP. It's mathematically impossible.
    2
  3606.  @말라유  I spent 2 seconds and found the data. It's 1% of GDP which is 13B USD per year, lol.
    2
  3607.  @End-w8f  Dude was saying 150 billion USD a month in remittances. Anyways, I looked up the number. It's 1% of GDP.

  3609. You are crazy. “If” Biden is elected, no way will Trump make any speech. Even 10 seconds.

  3610. F-ing embarrassing. Obviously, small arms is lower on the impact list, but we produce 9 BILLION ROUNDS of ammo a year. And, we can't even make sure they have enough.
    2
  3611. Sam's grasp on the issues supported with historical details always impresses me. And, it's really a shame how terrible news organizations have become. Tim Russert would hammer people away on details of an issue. These "new" reporters don't have a clue on the history of the question they are asking. They just feel it's their job to ask random questions without any knowledge on the subject.
    2
  3612. There are 2 ways for companies to increase profit (and it’s the same in your personal life). (1) Increase revenues: more customers and / or higher prices (2) Spend less: on materials and / or SALARIES
    2
  3613. I've had 3 really good female friends at work. Never thought for 1 second of dating them ever. And, the same goes vice-versa. Plutonic relationships just aren't a thing in Korea.
    2
  3614.  @Melarona23  There are NGOs in the US that do bait work for child predators. Then, they partner with police to do the takedowns / arrest. This isn't the same situation. Literally, the Korean police had to enlist journalists to do the investigation. It's not that complicated. Just takes time to sort through the different rooms.
    2
  3615. Give a ticket / fine. Done. Now, this will be going through litigation.
    2
  3616.  @maxderp6588  Not with a Fed sentence. It's closer to 85%. State sentences can be as little as half for non-violent crimes (California).
    2
  3617. Pretty incredible turnaround for the Korean TV industry. At near collapse when China started boycotting Korean products and stopped buying TV shows. I think they were paying around $300K per episode back then. Netflix (and now other US streamers) have completely changed some of the possible genres with their budgets. A few million per episode is not really expensive compared to US productions. No chance this ever gets made in the past. Only 6 episodes with a large budget for Korean TV would be impossible. Looks like the budget is around $20M. Netflix found this "moneyball" talent play (or you could all it talent arbitrage). They are getting some of the top film people to do extended series with a budget bigger than they could get doing a film (or likely would never get greenlit for a film).

  3620. Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!

  3621.  @frankartanis1290  The proper word would be implement. The original poster had zero clue they have no annual property tax. Also, you can't own land in China.

  3622. The mosquitos scared me away, lol. I'm really allergic, so I passed.
    2
  3623. Wrong. Don’t have a bio.
    2
  3624.  @basura4136  Yeah, not talking about the North though. It's a South Korean court ruling about things happening in South Korea. And, the 1 million landmines in the DMZ would disagree with any border argument. This should be common sense.
    2
  3625. It's highly doubtful that DEVGRU would be deployed to Taiwan. It's a relatively small unit tasked with specific missions. But, I could see one of the other "Teams" having a focus with Taiwan. One that is a much larger force size (There are roughly 2,500 active Navy Seals). Pre-9/11, the teams were semi-separated by region. My brother was assigned to one with skiing capabilities. I'm pretty sure there was a South American (jungle) focused team. Post 9/11, things got a bit jumbled. Every Team was doing deployments in the Middle East.

  3626.  @tommywise1702  You didn't smoke weed as a a teen? We smoked or drank every weekend at that age.

  3627. Every real estate project should be siloed. Separate mortgage and separate escrow accounts. If one project failed, the damage is isolated. Instead, they ran it like Ponzi scheme.
    2
  3628. Just weird. The dude is suing for $300K. Settling would have been cheaper than the trial.
    2
  3629. lol, this isn't an issue in Japan. You think all the top rated students are quitting jobs and joining the porn industry? Taking 1 example and making snap broad judgements is odd.
    2
  3630. @Call It Flu Again I doubt you using the word "capitol" correctly. When did another capitol get breached with thousands of terrorists? Oh yeah, you mean when some state legislator opened the door to let "protestors" in the state Capitol of Oregon? Or when armed right wing "protestors" stormed the Michigan Capitol?

  3633. Dumbass Wang forgets that 40K Americans died to protect South Korea from the CCP and North Korean invasion.

  3634. It’s a supply chain issue that has “bad” and / or more expensive alternatives. It’s not irreplaceable.

  3635. Stop the Uyghur genocide.
    2
  3636. 10 million flights per year in the US.
    2
  3637.  @jamieshouldbeavailable  Dude, you realize this isn't a lawsuit on the merits right? They settled the original lawsuit. Vince agreed to settle the lawsuit. Made partial payment and stopped paying. This is a contract dispute.
    2
  3638. The dude definitely doesn’t know his boundaries, but Korea does have cultural differences. Girls hold hands regularly when friends, my sister will link her arm with mine when we were adults (something more similar to boyfriend / girlfriend), guy friends are much more touchy feely with each other.
    2
  3639. I'm sure the Saudis and UAE will be excited to be paid in yuan, so they invest in some lovely Chinese assets / real estate, lol.

  3640. Unpopular opinion: Naeun is a good example of why companies manage the girls weight. Her slim body enhances even simple clothes. (also, thank goodness the boob job era faded out. Man, would look totally weird on them.)
    2
  3641. I was like...how the heck is this going to work since she can't speak Korean. Then, I noticed the earpieces.
    2
  3642. Yes, there are provocation issues, but a lot of the US hardware requires months of training. Would be useless to send Abrams tanks.
    2
  3643. State Police vs Local police. Generally speaking, State Police are trained better and are better cops.
    2
  3644.  @typxxilps  Welcome to the Pentagon. They moved extremely slow in the beginning. We have no factories and have to build more capacity. There was no backup plan. Currently, production is 28K per month up from 14K. In 2024, US 155mm production will be 1M per year (80K / month). 1.2M in 2025 (100K / month). The bulk of the 2021 155mm shell acquisition costs were going to...the expensive guided shells not the standard m975 shell. Woefully, small acquisition in 2021. The budget request would provide for the Army to buy 75,357 M795 rounds, which would support training and the service's war reserve.
    2
  3645.  @junko4166  Slippery slope. Every company can afford a bit of shrinkage. But, then you wake up and realize 10% of your merchandise is getting stolen. Even if they can absorb it, why? There is zero need to import cheap non-skilled labor when there are unemployed Brazilians. Their UNRATE is 6.4%.
    2
  3646. lol, somehow the Dems found a guy that didn't get into politics until 42. Enlisted military guy, hunter, high school football coach, teacher. But, then gain experienced by serving 6 terms in Congress and executive experience by being a Governor.
    2
  3647. Let’s be real. It was translated “right”. This is a puff-piece propaganda video.

  3648. Is he on campus? That should be illegal for outsiders to film on a school campus without permission from the school for commercial purposes.

  3651. France has the built in advantage of nuclear power. They don’t have to deal with the same energy pricing shocks.

  3655. lol, this guy is totally unbias. Gilbert Achcar: For the right to self-determination of Palestinians, for the withdrawal of imperialist forces from the Middle East
    2
  3656. For being a planned economy, the CCP does a terrible job at planning. 2/3 of the kids are getting a college degree. That’s crazy. The US is about 35% with a way more developed economy.

  3657. Hmm, $2.9B on passenger trains. Quick internet search, yeah ok. We spend $3.1B on candy...JUST FOR HALLOWEEN.

  3660. She’s very uncomfortable in this setting.
    2
  3661.  @kristinesharp6286  Politely, I think you should qualify things if you state them as facts. I did an extended volunteer session a 고아원 in Korea. There is a different word they use now, but I don't remember it. Did a shorter visit to another orphanage and a semi-frequent to a 3rd. Sure seems like you are going on 2nd hand knowledge (no offense).

  3662. The dude used to be a respected lawyer. L Lin Wood.
    2
  3663. If a Chinese company had “free will”, there is no long term benefit of buying any Chinese assets right now. They should be gobbling up UST left and right. Not only is there a 300 bps different yield, but greater odds UST drops 100bps than China.

  3667. Still seeing the consequences of W Bush. Saddam and the Iraqis fighting Iran kept the conflict more contained to the East. Wasn't this free flow of weapons through Iraq.
    2
  3668. Boomer! (just messing around) People in western countries do this as well.
    2
  3669. This is what happens when you don't have a free press, the internet is censored and information flows from state media. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

  3671. Son has been boom and bust. 2nd time around. They’ve made a ton of good investments though.

  3673. I'll always be a traditionalist. Hard pass on drone shows. Just nice classic fireworks.

  3674. The obvious position is teachers. Shapiro has talked about vouchers. Walz is obviously pro-public school teachers and unions. Like it or not, that’s the Dem base.

  3679. Ugh, odeng is kinda gross. It’s ok in small amounts, but as a meal, yuck.

  3680. Psst, hangover soups don't work. In the States, there was a Korean restaurant about 100m from my building. They were open in the morning and served 3 different "hangover" soups. I tried them several times. And, still hungover. Hangover "cure": - Don't drink soju - Don't drink hard alcohol - Drink a lot of water even if you are drinking even beer. Drink even more water if you are drinking soju / hard alcohol (everyone is different though)

  3681. The SPX is +10% since April.

  3682. The first one was targeted: that area was for government officials and relatives.
    2
  3683.  @pehclark7256  Yeap, it was right across from the government buildings. That exercise area ain't for ordinary folk. (sounds like his ex-wife was cheating with a government official. the official used his influence on the courts and got the ex-wife a favorable settlement. Both were at the scene of the accident. All not confirmed of course.)
    2
  3684.  @jdmbeats  I would discourage this unless you have a strong desire to visit Korea and are adventurous. While it's pretty easy to get around Seoul (lots of signs in romanization), Korea is not very English friendly.

  3686.  @jerryrichardson2799  The positive about '07 was the root cause. Was more about credit vs oversupply. Hard assets follow supply vs demand rather than financial metrics. In theory, companies are evaluated on how much money they'll make in the future. A house is valued on how many people want to buy it. China's oversupply is going to create a hangover for a long time.

  3687.  @scyllasmite4819  You forgot something my friend. Corporations don't pass on the costs only to consumers. They pass along the cost + maintaining their profit margins. I'll give an example: If something costs 1 dollar. And a tariff increases price by 25%, the new cost is 1.25. They don't raise prices by 25 cents, but by 50 cents to ensure to maintain their profit margin. It's the dirty secret on price increases.

She was vigorous and active, but unfortunately broke her hip and went downhill from then. lol, she was still smoking cigs when I last saw her in her early 80s. My grandfather got dementia and my aunt / cousin had to look after him. Dude wandered off a few times though.

  3701. Korean TV blocks out all name brands. You'll notice this on variety shows that go out into the public. I have no interest to research if this is an "informal" rule or an actual arcane law. (Obviously, this is negated if they are a sponsor of the show. And, it doesn't seem to apply to sports.)

  3702. @ Japan is pretty aggressive in blocking out stuff. It seems to be more related to privacy than brands though.

  3707. Ugh, 0:03 hitting the car was the only real time to make a fast decision. Was going slow enough then and would need to turn (to accelerate slower) and ram into something. 0:11 a surgical angled turn into the barrier might slow down the car, but was going pretty fast then. Still the best option as straight lines are the enemy. Straight lines = more speed. A good chance the car would rollover or hop the barrier (which would suck), but that limits the damage to your car only. Cars can become missiles. Here is the worst case scenario: https://youtu.be/l8-vbXVBcWk

  3709. unrelated comment: my eyes always drift towards machinery for some reason. Always weird to see the brands cross countries. Seeing Volvo equipment in Korea is a bit odd.

  3712.  @rabidgoon  Totally fair point. Look, I feel bad for homeless people as well. It's not isolated to this woman only. I've watched several angles of the shooting. The Capitol police made the right call and was doing his responsibility to protect members of Congress. (Personally, they should have used deadly force earlier, but I don't think that's in their ROE.)

  3716. Nothing fishy. The report is listed in seconds elapsed which means there is video. First guy fell on the boarding about 9 feet into the water. 2nd dude jumped in after him only 11 seconds after he fell. 1st dude drowned within 26 seconds. 2nd dude drowned 32 seconds after he jumped in.

Immigration has always been the secret sauce of the US. More than half of the Billion dollar startup founders are 1st / 2nd generation immigrants. Al Goldstein's family (Avant) were refugees from Uzbekistan. No one can predict the potential of a 2nd generation refugee.

Have to imagine the Evangelical thing will always be around though.

    2
  3738. Have to comment again. So many drama plotlines. The younger mistress who the dude had a kid out of wedlock was...the chairperson of the T&C Foundation. So, here's the recap: Back in the founding days of Korea democracy, a Korean president who was linked to the prior authoritarian government married off his daughter to a small conglomerate during the first year of his term. Soon after his presidency ends, his daughter's in-laws launch a bid for the STATE OWNED mobile telecom company. This launches SK to the conglomerate they are today. Just 1 year later... In October 1995, Roh, in a tearful televised speech, publicly apologized for having illegally amassed hundreds of millions of dollars in secret political donations during his term as president He was also charged with mutiny and treason for their roles in the 1979 coup and the 1980 Gwangju massacre. Ends up being convicted and sentence for 22 years. Fast forward to where the husband admits to having a kid out of wedlock with the chairperson of some random "foundation" and the wife who is the director / founder of a museum wants a divorce gets accused of mistreating her personal employees and sues for the largest divorce settlement in Korean history. So when you watch those Korean dramas, they basically are like Law & Order. They just rip things from the headlines, lol.

  3750. It makes sense though. When you are older, you aren't going to find some drug dealer to buy weed. You'll just opt for alcohol. When stores pop up, older people are like ok, I'll buy some weed and smoke on the weekend. Younger people have way more (illegal) drug connections.

  3766. They are in a massive recession. Common sense math is hard for people. People need to learn weighted averages. The housing sector has been -20% to -30% for over a year now. If that's 25% of GDP, zero chance GDP is positive. US exports have been a hard negative since November of last year. Every common sense metric says they are negative GDP. - Exports - FDI - Real Estate - Governments cutting salaries

  3767.  @jan-willemvandijk3850  ahh, yup. Alameda "county" and not just the town of Alameda. And, the county includes Berkeley, Oakland and Alameda. To be fair, I have no idea where all the little towns on the Peninsula end or begin. Does anyone really know the difference between Belmont and San Carlos? San Mateo and Burlingame get a bit nebulous.

  3768. Did pot, LSD, X, coke as a teen. But, one of our friends, got very sidetracked with her addict sister and got addicted to crack. Was a really sad sight. Made me never want to try it. Also, oddly our prevent drug class in high school made me not do the really hard stuff. Saw a video of someone hooked on PCP. Never like pot much, but would smoke with friends. Did Coke and X pretty frequently, but never was addicted to it.

And this omniscience in evaluating a commenter by a few sentences is plain odd.

  3780. Saw Cooper. Politically speaking, he might be a bit too old for Kamala's message. Love Whitmer, but too risky. Tim Walz is a good politician, but not sure it's a good match. That leaves Shapiro, Kelly and Beshear. Edit: Politically, I think Beshear is the best pick. I think she probably meshes with Shapiro the best.

  3791. Noted past China laptop, Mark Mobius, said he can't get his money out. This was back in 2023. Billionaire investor Mark Mobius told FOX Business he cannot take his money out of China due to the country's capital controls, cautioning investors to be "very, very careful" about investing in an economy under a tight government grip. "I have an account with HSBC in Shanghai. I can't take my money out. The government is restricting flow of money out of the country," Mobius, founder of Mobius Capital Partners, told FOX Business in an interview published on March 2. "I can't get an explanation of why they're doing this ... They're putting all kinds of barriers. They don't say: No, you can't get your money out. But they say: give us all the records from 20 years of how you made this money ... This is crazy."

  3808. I consider myself moderate, but now days would be classified as liberal. That’s just not a feasible position. We are screwed without fossil fuel energy production. Cheap energy is essential for a strong economy. The CO2 direct capture seems like a good bridge until we can a utopian fix for real consistent clean energy.

  3813. (not great for Ukraine) Coup is over. Prigozhin sent out an audio message. "They were going to dismantle PMC Wagner. We came out on 23 June to the March of Justice. In a day, we walked to nearly 200km away from Moscow. In this time, we did not spill a single drop of blood of our fighters. Now, the moment has come when blood may spill. That’s why, understanding the responsibility for spilling Russian blood on one of the sides, we are turning back our convoys and going back to field camps according to the plan."

  3814. Nazis should have just ignored the master race stuff and worried about manpower. Drafting the Jews instead of sending them off to camps would have boosted their numbers by at least 1M. And, given more workers for the factories. (I guess rational people don't start huge wars to conquer others.)

  3824.  @andrewkong3154  Dude - I'll try to explain better. Many Korean dishes are unbalanced in the eyes of chefs. Very one noted without contrasting flavors. My point is that having banchan balances out Korean dishes. She's basically taking banchan flavors and adding it to the main dish.

  3828.  @raenakim-geyer  Don't take offense to this, but you have a dash in your name. You have way more faith in white people than I do. If the French screwed up something Vietnamese, I'd say it was more intentional. I'll lean on my East Coast education where my schools didn't even include Asia into our education curriculum. I literally had to re-take a history class after I transferred colleges because I took Western Civ and my new school didn't accept it. Edit: I did just see the S / lightning symbol which looks a lot like the n*zi S. Maybe they are just being dicks.

  3830. The girl from T-ara. Seems like it was a Brad Pitt (Jen vs Angelina) scenario. Met on set. Got close. Broke up with ex. Started “dating” soon after.

  3831.  @dlee6997  Really? Why judge other people without knowing all the information? Obviously, it wasn't a good fit for them and they ended the relationship. However messy it was. Seems odd to get worked up about it though eh?

  3855. Did a search and found the doc site. We'll never know what happened with them: Do you know what happened to Masata and Hitomi? It’s a question frequently asked, especially with regards to Hitomi. Sadly, I have no news whatsoever. Our paths crossed but briefly. Barely ten minutes were spent together to shoot footage and record their interviews. There was no time to exchange contact details. With all my heart, I hope they are happy!

  3871.  @peterebel7899  Logistics and maintenance of vehicles is required for a "special military operation". Special Ops groups have way more autonomy and usually a different chain of command.
    2
  3872.  @peterebel7899  ok, dude. Enough. Stop being obtuse and f-ing listen when people say stuff. You can't run a war with shitty maintenance and logistics. That has nothing to do with one off special Ops.
    2
  3873.  @peterebel7899  You are nuts. A few marines? They had a force of 15-30K troops moving down towards Kyiv. It's pretty easy to evade things in water as the Swedes showed. People underestimate how big a body of water is and how few ships there are. A few years ago, during a large-scale naval exercise off the coast of California, a small Swedish diesel submarine sent shockwaves through the maritime world by ‘sinking’ in a wargame one of the most advanced warships in the globe: a U.S. nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
    2
  3874. lol, you haven’t googled the size of Belarusian army.
    2
  3875. The only concern is weapons are getting too expensive with less quantities. Sure seems like “hot” wars require the opposite.

  3876. lol, you realize...a plane would need to fly into Russia to deliver a bomb. We are sending 155mm "cluster" rounds.

  3877. AL has a pretty low state tax rate. And, no real child credits. Not sure if it's worth the move to save 5% on your taxes.

  3878. I turned 16 halfway through 11th grade. I had been working since I was 11 and had worked in 5 different places already (newspaper delivery, 2 restaurants, 7-11 and a concession stand in a tourist area). People are way too sheltered these days.

  3885. Good journalism costs money. Vice has no real revenue streams. And, this new generation doesn't like to pay for news. It's not an accident that a boomer newspaper like the NYT is the only real newspaper making money.

  3889.  @85tv12  Lies, damn lies and statistics. - Mark Twain I'm guessing that there are 8-9 employees max since that would be about 13-1 student to employee ratio. But, that seems a bit high since they are only bringing in 150K USD.

  3891.  @CCLow-jr7um  No arguments here. I wouldn't even want to travel in the Bell 412 in those conditions. I guess the Iranians found some "expert" Bell 212 mechanics, but who knows.

  3892. I get it. She wants to be in show business still, but geez. No protection. No birth control. Kinda screwed her girls over. She’s helping Korea’s low birth rate single handily, but ugh.

  3894. One of our greatest strategic advantage: waterways to transport goods.

  3895. Even if they keep them off the frontlines and use them for territorial defense for Kyiv, it’s a benefit. They can shift other tanks to the frontline.
    2
  3896. Side note: even with all this madness, we are an incredible country. This lawyer spent years in the NYDA office and EDNY. Then, worked for the government. Always find it amazing some of these lawyers toil away for decade(s) without making any real money after 3 years of law school. Seems just recently she got hired by a private firm. Side note 2.0: also, the trend that lawyers tend to trend Dem and law enforcement trends GOP. Never understood it.
    2
  3897.  @veronniep  Hmm, what research? I used to hangout online and offline with Korean adoptees. Everyone had extremely normal lives. There is no true database, so any scientific random sampling can't be just "hey, we need Korean adoptee people to talk about their experiences".
    2
  3898. It’s irresponsible to extrapolate anything from these numbers.
    2
  3899. Same. At least this is better than some weird incest thing.

  3903.  @oldegrunt  I get it bro. The TV / internet dudes told you it's bad. Everything you said has zero impact. It's a sunk cost. Calculate % of GDP, % of Budget, % of military budget. It's nothing. Literally, nothing. Obviously, you haven't read the appropriations bill.
    2
  3904.  @timtaylor7146  We've spent 350M per plane on the F-22 program. Settle down comrade. The Zumwalt Destroyer cost 22 BILLION for 3 destroyers. Yup, 7.5B per ship.
    2
  3905.  @howtoappearincompletely9739  Because I'm American dude. I'll do the dime store analysis and conclude you are not a minority ethnicity in your country. It's annoying at best, patronizing at worst for non-minorities to tell minorities how they should call themselves. And, it does make a difference. If the dude would have asked like a normal person, I would have said, I'm only alive today because of the sacrifices of the US and allies in protecting South Korea. My grandparents survived the Japanese occupation, WW2 and the Korean war. Zero chance I'm living in America or even born if the crazy North Korean Kim family wins the war. No one 70 years ago would have thought that the US and allies saving Korea would have produced over 1M ethnic Koreans in the US as contributing members of society and a country who has become a regional power with the 12th largest GDP in world. This is why the US protects fledging democracies.

  3906. How do you fake data? Pretty easily if you stop reporting micro data points.

  3907. JFC. When did Korean peeps become so lame? They act like their kids can't take discipline. Country has gotten soft over the past few decades. Wasn't like this before.

  3908.  @TTiger75  Naw, just making the point that Japan structurally was in a better place. It's going to hit CCP China harder.

  3911. They learned from Saddam. No one wants to be actually called on their bluff.

  3912. Jason - agree. At some point, you have to make the choice to settle down and live a normal life. Going to Skid Row and buying crack ain’t a normal life. She knew what she was doing was wrong and dangerous.

  3921. The "funny" part is...who are all these people ordering food delivery? and taking taxis?

  3923. Read up on the Ahn Jae-hwan —> Choi Jin-sil chain reaction suicides. More common in Korean society than others.

  3924. Nearly perfect timing as well since countries have started to transition to the F-35.
    2
  3925.  @frankmartin8471  lol, right wing math. And, realistically the CO2 levels rising over a long period of time wouldn't be as disaster. The speed over a short period of time is the killer. In May 2013, at the time of the usual annual maximum of CO2, the air briefly tipped over the 400 ppm mark for the first time in several million years. In 2014, it stayed above 400 ppm for the whole month of April. By 2015, the annual average was above 400 ppm. To find a time when the planet’s air was consistently above 400 ppm you have to look much farther back to the warm part of the Miocene, some 16 million years ago, or the Early Oligocene, about 25 million years ago, when Earth was a very different place and its climate totally dissimilar from what we might expect today.

  3926. Trump's best investment was giving money to someone else (Vornado Realty Trust).

  3927. I'm befuddled about the lack of American support for Ukraine. No official boots on the ground. American used to stand up for countries that wanted democracy and were attacked. RIP dude.
    2
  3928. We'll look back in history one day and realize how effective Joe Biden was as POTUS. Joe invested in America. Trump gave tax breaks to the rich during his term. God help us if that orange guy is back in office.

  3929. lol, these properties are still 10-20x price to income ratios. That’s higher than NYC.
    2
  3930.  @motophile  They have PPE on. And most likely, there is no immunity. It's called antibodies. There is a half-life and an "assumption" that your body will reproduce new antibodies to protect yourself from re-infection.
    2
  3931. I'm pretty moderate, but geez. If you stab someone that many times, intent shouldn't matter.
    2
  3932. Used to take the slower train in Korea because I was only going a short distance and the HSR didn’t stop in the smaller town. And yeah, people aren’t allowed to stand in the aisle like that, lol.
    2
  3933. Even most Asian guys that grow up in the states tend to prefer Asian spouses / SOs.
    2
  3934. All the food producers raising prices to gouge us during a pandemic was pretty bad. iPhones are expensive. But, when you are maximizing profits via people's health and possible life and death, the company should have to shoulder a large responsibility to the public.
    2
  3935. Dunno, everyone in the Soviet bloc knew it sucked by even before the end. These people are still brainwashed.
    2
  3936.  @fdm2155  Naw, I'm sure these businesses were slowly falling off, but they are stated owned. So, the heads didn't want to talk about bad news and covered it up. Eventually, they had to pay the piper.

  3941. Fear sells more than positivity.

  3942.  @KomradeKrusher  Likely, it was more expensive back then. Regardless, if you've ever done coke, it's an astronomical quantity. Honestly. I have no idea how it's physically possible. I think I maxed out around $500 for one night on a weekend binge.
    2
  3943. Russian hardware is decent. The problem is they never maintained them. Likely, they stole the money for the upgrades as well.
    2
  3944. Drones. Way cheaper with less training costs.
    2
  3945. lol, China alone has a M2 of $40 trillion. You really think there is enough gold to back that?
    2
  3946. But, it's better to play this charade as long as possible, so homeowners that will continue to pay their mortgage on the unfinished property. All these developers owe money to the subcontractors too.
    2
  3947. I remember when Chinese propaganda was making fun of the US during several bank failures last year: SIVB, Signature etc. In the modern times, no US bank depositor has ever lost a cent. “While the management of the banks in question should bear the most direct responsibility for the mismanagement of the companies, the absence or mistakes of the US on financial supervision and macro policies is the most important thing to reflect on from the incident,” the official Xinhua News Agency said in an analysis piece published Wednesday. Edited: grammar and spelling

  3949.  @FrostWing-k5u  AMZN runs their datacenters with around 100 staff. My point is the headline number is always false. There is a one time benefit from "minimal" construction. Very little ongoing labor benefit. Here is an example from MSFT: - Project Mountain: First announced: 2008; expansions in 2011 and 2013 - Square Feet: 750,000 - Total investment: About $1 billion - State incentives: $20.7 million - Job obligations: 64 Don't overcomplicate it. It's a warehouse. A warehouse for data. In the US, they dump these in cheap useless land areas.

  3952. Korea's GDP is $1.6T. That's 16% of their GDP. Without looking at specifics, I don't think a robot tax would cover the full amount.

  3956. lol, those songs are totally opposite ends of the spectrum.
    2
  3957. It’s very ambiguous when people talk about currency. Reserve vs cross border transactions vs finance Yuan has taken over the dollar in cross border transactions.
    2
  3958. lol, that's how countries go bankrupt by defending a currency. (and RU has $140B in gold. Ain't enough to defend anything.)

  3962. It's not complicated: it's a money laundering scheme.

  3963. Housing which is 25-30% of their GDP is -20% or more. Zero chance their GDP is positive.

  3967.  @JackLee-ny8gl  That's DC Metro. There is no real differentiation between MD / VA. But, I grew up north of DC Metro. Even still: any big story like that would have been in the news. Some people maybe take 1 trip to Washington DC in their lifetime. Nearly every year, we took a field trip to DC.

  3969. Obviously a much bigger stage, but he's been in the shadow of a spotlight for the past 6 years since Walz was governor. Pretty sure his parents have a good grasp on what he can and can't handle.

  3970. WTF? She looks so old in her 9th grade picture. Obviously, she was blessed with good genes.
    2
  3971. As someone that transferred schools in the US for the experience and almost did an exchange program to Asia, people go internationally for the "fun" of it. You aren't going for the degree. FYI...you can still go to German Universities tuition free. Norway just changed their rules.
    2
  3972.  @jgallub  Ugh, I wish my adoptive parents would have learned Korean and taught me. I've been in a lot of uncomfortable situations since my Korean language skills sucked.
    2
  3973.  @jgallub  Yeah, that would be a bit strange having your adoptive mom translate Korean, haha. Actually, I took Korean in college and had private tutors 2 different times. I just failed miserably. Korean and my brain don't mix well. Trying to take a taxi when I lived in Korea was really really hard.

  3977. MLB is a grind. No highly paid player has ever become a full time manager. I think he values his family too much. Would have to be 20+ years from now.

  3978. In Korea, I lived in a building where everything had to be recycled and you had to "buy" a special garbage bag from the store. The only thing I put in the garbage bag was used tissue / paper towel, cig butts, dirt / dust. It would take me months to fill up 1 bag.

  3981. lol, 200%. That's tripling the cost of the item.

  3984.  47 E.B.O  He was a good guy. Was always fair and a nice dude to hang out with. We didn't have much in common though. I grew out of my drug "habit". Not the best thing for your health.

  3986. I am realizing Korean's low birth rate comes down to economics. The middle class can't afford more than 1 child.
    2
  3987.  @cyann410  Yup, that's thinking from a rich person's perspective. The masses make the wealthy even more money by policies that screw the lower / middle class. This is capitalism. Someone needs to balance the rules to help the lower / middle class gain wealth. There is no easy answer to this. In the US, your primary home mortgage interest is tax deductible. I am not familiar with Korean tax law. Not important enough to ask my cousins in Korea and too lazy to google. Not that curious.

  3988.  @RTYB  This isn’t about owning. This is about flipping homes. The renting system explicitly is THE OPPOSITE OF OWNING A HOME. This flipping pushes up real estate prices effectively pricing out an average person wanting TO OWN A F-ING HOME.

  3989. The case is confusing as hell. How did police respond so fast with a tactical team? 2nd suspect is ex-Marine. Both suspects were suspected of an armed robbery. Kidnapping victim is unnamed and not sure of the relationship to the suspects.

  3994. The CCP collects vast amount of data. Some data cruncher has to know the real picture. Easy ways to double check on the amount of people employed and change over time. I doubt the data is getting to Supreme Leader toilet god Xi though.

  3998. The dirty little secret about the US GDP in 2018 and 2019 is...US Federal debt ran up $200B per year. That represents 1% GDP annually. It would put GDP below 2%. Lower than Obama.

  4001. Just terrible analysis. We are talking about tiny numbers: 668K vs 554K in 2023. That’s not even 1% of the electorate. And, let’s face the facts: the party electorate has changed. The Dems have shifted to more white collar / college educated voters. Unless the data has each bucket, it’s trash analysis. Small dollar donors = $200 or less

  4007.  @bipolargamer99x  Like a bad relationship breakup, it's time. Asset valuations need to be reset. Need baselines need to be recreated. It's either fast crash which causes more immediate pain, but recovery can start. Or slow bleed and no one knows where the bottom is. CCP is choosing the latter.

    2
  4013.  @0xyGen_2.p0  Lots of us were adopted when there were very few Asian communities in the US. And, somehow we went to the whitest neighborhoods. Minnesota nickname is the 10,000 Lakes, but also is the Land of 10,000 adoptees. No idea why so many KADs were adopted there. Generally speaking, we were adopted into white families and white neighborhoods. Kinda screws with your brain a bit and identity. I'm pretty sure if the internet was around back then or adopted into LA, SF or Hawaii, things wouldn't have been as tough for us culturally. I never cared about finding my Korean family, but near college age started to hang out with Korean people. Long story short, my Korean family contacted me after college. Sidetracked my life for a bit (not emotionally), but it was something else to "deal" with instead of just working after college and hanging out with friends. Not sure if it was a net positive. I had real confidence issues growing up because I was obviously different. Didn't change until I moved way west and was just another ethnic Asian person that blended in. And, yes. Adoptions in Korea aren't prevalent. Also, orphanages in Korea act like foster homes and orphanages combined. Some of the kids get "dumped" there, but the parents don't relinquish their parental rights (meaning they can't get adopted). Kids can stay there until they finish high school. Then, they are on their own. Edit: Being Korean back then wasn't "cool" like it is today. Was born a generation too early.

  4014. Sometimes you just need cheap weapons in quantities. The US is horrible at this doctrine.
    2
  4015.  @NA-rj9lk  It's nearly impossible. Japan / Korea aren't setup to process normal functions in non-native languages. The system is setup almost intentionally to exclude foreigners. Again, I think Korea will transition a bit faster possibly with "some" English.

  4016. Actually, since GS was involved and they make a lot of money, they are getting some of the money back. A smaller firm would have claimed bankruptcy. They are still having issues with the $4B settlement though.

  4019. Man, the British are worse than us Americans. But, at least our schools forced us to "learn" a different language. Differs by area, but I think I had to take 5 years of a foreign language. 2 in middle school and 3 in high school.

  4023. Since I'm Korean, I can bash my own people. There are some really cute girls. Heavy makeup doesn't really enhance Koreans looks though. The real downfall is...their bodies. Impossible to avoid the topic: we don't have bodies suited for pageants.

    2
  4027. lol, just look at how they penalize crack cocaine vs powdered cocaine. Until 2010, this sentencing disparity was 100 to 1, which means that while just 5 grams of crack would carry a 5-year mandatory minimum, it would take 500 grams of cocaine to trigger the same 5-year sentence. While the law was changed in 2010, there continues to be a disparity of 18 to 1. Same drug. Different sentencing. I wonder why. Ain’t nothing systemic going on here.
    2
  4028. lol, the tame version of a late night street takeover. On a serious note, perhaps the Chinese public are starting to realize that they outnumber the cops and the military. Only need 20% of the public to join and it's an overwhelming advantage that can't be controlled.

  4031. Itaewon is a weird district. First saw it when my relatives took me there on my first trip to Korea. It was really run down and a bit grimy. Over the last years, it’s been modernized and become a hot spot. Not a great infrastructure for holding a ton of people. Also, Korea has a lot of side streets / alleys. Unfortunately, this created a bad bottleneck. People flowing into a downsloped alley / side street which funneled into a bigger street that had a sidewalk packed with people.

  4042. China wishes it was Japan. Japan's unemployment rate was around 2% in 1990. It peaked at 5.7% in the mid-2000s and 2009. In 1990, the average monthly salary for a full time worker was $2500 / month or over 18,000 yuan.

  4049. Ok, I'll be blunt as Koreans do. She was never "pretty" when she was younger. She was reasonably cute. Always felt that "cute" people don't age as poorly as "glamourous" people. IU / Park Bo-young should age extremely well.

  4062. That BAC reading must be way off: 0.12 is bad, but not usually staggering drunk. The caveat is the time: 5 drinks in 1 hour gets a 150lb man to that reading. It's 6 drinks in 2 hours. My guess is he drank quickly. And, yeah. The dude didn't hit the break. All new cars have computer readings ie blackbox. They should be able to figure it out.

  4077.  @btsipurpeyou1544  When I say "force", its not sending their kids to a North Korean re-education camp. It would be (1) speak the language (Korean in my case) as much as possible. (2) send to a language school at least once a week (3) correct their grammar and / or spelling mistakes on the fly
    2
  4078.  @lazvegaz  Yeah, not everyone has that much free time as an adult. Personally, I studied Korean at a university and had private tutors for 2 different times after college. But, after college I was more focused on my career, not learning a new language.

  4081. The word contractor is used very broadly. With the US military, it's "usually" a security and support role. For the CIA type agencies, its something much different.
    2
  4082.  @Thealterdude  Something might be getting lost in translation. I at least picked up in the lexicon as a kid about "going postal" because there was a seemingly unusual amount of postal employees shooting up post offices. We just didn't have as many mass murders back then. Murders yes. Mass murders no. Even in the 2000s, you could joke about someone getting mad at the office and "be like uh oh. That person might go postal". Joking about it slowly started to fade away by the end of the decade and into the 2010s.

  4091. Since Korean adoptions started early and the numbers are relatively high, many first person stories have come out in the past 10+ years. There are a lot of Korean adoptees that have created organizations and been trailblazers on these issues.

  4094.  @Tranquility32  Gun ownership percent is the exact same since 1972: 43% of households (there is some variability by year plus/minus 4%). We have more people, so the net amount of people that own guns has grown with population. Higher population = more incidents. People that own guns are crazier and taking the guns with them everywhere. Edit: I don't think this specific incident was gun related. It's a bit ambiguous.

  4095. Unless you are going to an Ivy league type school or some of the elite State schools ie Berkeley, US schools are easy to get into. My SAT was around 1200 (1600 max scoring) and I didn't study for it at all.
    2
  4096. The biggest change to Kdramas is…who is getting content control. Nearly all of the big hits on streaming only have been film people. Kingdom is the notable big exception. Basically, you have these film people that are getting to do their pet projects. These “short” dramas are more like extended films to a degree. The US started doing this with some of the HBO series. Squid Game, DP, Move to Heaven, Narco Saints are all first time “tv drama” directors.

  4100. I worked at a Korean restaurant that catered to Japanese tourists. They don't like extremely fermented kimchi like Koreans. They like the fresh and crisp taste. Impacted my taste buds for a long time. I couldn't eat older kimchi for years and "forced" my Korean relatives to make new batches when I visit.

  4101. I've been reading the Canadian Reddit since the threats. And, they are pissed.

  4102. It's a horrible juxtaposition of facts and reality. I've seen both sides where loyalty is not determined by blood relations, but by a moral sense and ethics. And, I've seen some horrible relationships by blood relatives. (And, this is a just a microcosm of my small personal world experience in Korea.)
    2
  4103. I think it's more about location / country. Going to be hard to vote a NATO person from Eastern Europe. Probably a bit of lack of trust / discrimination. I could see the Baltics states one day like Estonia possibly.

  4108. Amusingly, his most valuable properties are in blue states. Go figure.
    2
  4109. Because you have zero clue how economies work. And, are pretty clueless on government and their budgets. Ok, let's take a simple example: let's say your build a subway for 10M people. Now, you only have 8M people. The subway (infrastructure project) is now a financial drag.

  4116.  @RB-pl5pg  Was raised in the US since 2 years old. Lived in 3 different states: 1 through high school, 1 for college and 1 post-college. lol, the US had more influence in Korea than in the Philippines. Dude - do you even know about the oligarchs that control the Philippines? You really think its US influence that the cost of electricity in the Philippines is near the highest in Asia? You really think that having laws that bans the government from tracking private money flow is a good thing for corruption? Seriously, do a bit of research on the Philippines about corruption. It will open your eyes on why they have "failed" economically over the past 50 years. It's tragic and the average person is the one that pays the consequences.

    2
  4119.  @joshdurbin8045  It's why I am a huge proponent of defending nations from getting invaded (and not invading them ie Iraq). I wouldn't be alive today if the US hadn't intervened when North Korea invaded South Korea. My grandparents survived the Japanese occupation, WW2. Don't think life would have been the same under North Korean rule. Obviously, I wouldn't have grown up in the US.
    2
  4120. I've been there. It's not that interesting. The most important part of the city is...the bridge to the airport. Was horrible getting there before the bridge. It was quicker to get to Gimpo from Incheon than ICN to Icheon. (My relatives live near Inha University.)

  4121.  @GoodCitizen-gm1tl  lol, Li Keqiang was the premier of China for 8 years and in high level political positions from 1993-2022. He had a law degree from Peking university and received his a Masters and Doctorate in....wait for it...Economics. What about you sport? What are your qualifications?

  4122. The vast majority of the money is staying here. US weapons and the bean counters at the Pentagon need to account for labor / mission support. When a C-130 flies to Poland, that flight is charged to “Ukraine aid”.
    2
  4123. Interesting points. Without actually doing any research and I'm basically making this up, but it seems that Korea / Japan manufacturing has become a bit more complementary to the US economy rather than competitors vs the 80s / 90s. (yes, there are some big industries that go head to head still.)
    2
  4124. Wrong. It's under $100B. Will end up being like 8% of the defense budget on an annual basis.

  4130.  @Alakazzam09  Yeah, no. China real estate bubble isn't close to what happened in the US. It's different planets.

  4132. 50 yen is 33 cents, but that's Japanese currency. 50 yuan is around 7 USD.

  4133. Going to be a long repetitive cycle for Germany. Not enough workers --> immigration --> we "hate" the immigrants --> not enough workers...

  4134. Germany saving the tanks for when Liechtenstein goes rogue and invades all of Europe.
    2
  4135.  @jaydee6268  That is an absolute destruction of personal wealth. Politely, we need to stop treating the CCP like they are playing 4D chess. They can't even do the basics of forecasting babies properly. Implemented a dumb policy off weak data and waited too long to end the policy.

  4137. Yeap, going to be a tough task.

  4138. In Korea, I'm pretty sure pedestrians do not have the right of way on a green light. Saebyeok was crossing while the light was green. 10:13 you can see the green crossing for the perpendicular street hence it was red crossing for Saebyeok. Korea has tried to alleviate this by putting in sound signals for seeing impaired. Cars in Korea are pretty reckless vs the states on right turns on red. Rarely yield to pedestrians.

  4139. Polls felt way more accurate when...everyone had a landline, lol.
    2
  4140.  @koolpep  Good luck with that. All their bonds would be sold at a loss since their yield is way lower than the current yield. About a year ago, Fed staffers wrote a paper showing that China sold / rolled off treasuries and bought MBS. That market is totally illiquid. Would be even harder to sell. UST market will be fine as soon as the Fed stops raising. And, doesn't make sense to sell at a loss if you can borrow at 2.7% in the domestic market. They can force banks / insurance companies to buy government debt.
    2
  4141. I’m assuming you are talking about unfinished properties. CCP doesn’t care. People still have to pay their mortgage. Banks can always go after the buyer if they default for the rest of their life.

  4142. 1:31:03 I think these girls interacted the best out of any of these (and future shows). Surprised for a second and they dove right in.

  4143. Someone needs to feed all of China’s fake data into a supercomputer and come up with the real numbers.

  4144. I grew up in the suburbs of Baltimore and there was racial real estate steering. This was up until the late 1990s. Only 20 years ago.

  4145. wait, no mag dump?
    2
  4146. Korean weddings are just weird. Held in a wedding hall with multiple other weddings being held at the same time. Also, the room is used consecutively: back to back to back weddings. Then, there was an eating area where different wedding parties were intermixed. (My relatives in Korea are probably lower middle class.) Contrast that to the US, where church —>separate wedding reception —> went back to my parents house. Obviously, weddings are way cheaper in Korea.

  4161. Obviously, I don't agree with Kirk and feel the pollsters are just trying to get it right. Sure wish people would talk more the "guesswork" that goes into polls. Polls have no idea if the electorate is going to remain the same and how turnout impacts each segment. Yes, accounted for in the margin of error.

  4167.  @sanzhang-tx1zm  lol, there are demographers that are experts in the field. Even an amateur can look at the births and do a calculation and get a better number. China births are around 9M. Just 8 years ago, it was north of 16M. That's a -45% reduction. (and realistically, there is a multiplier effect over time.)
    2
  4168.  @bigfisher4354  You literally modeled the impact to population wrong. Again, 5K adoptions per year means nothing to the total population number. And, I don't think you know what scientific thesis means.

  4169. Ukraine is a big country. More systems would let Ukraine cover more areas.

  4170. Wagner contractors get paid way way more than Russian military standard contracts. And, it's a much flatter organization. Life expectancy is going to be way lower if they were forced to join the Russian army.
    2
  4171. Well, at least they aren't getting drugged up like they would in the US by doctors / pharma companies.
    2
  4172. The US military had a military aircraft circling the balloon until it reached the coast. They were jamming the signals / stealing the data.

  4173. Yeah, she's a bit too aggressive on the merger side. Blocking the Coach merger seems silly to me. It's luxury goods. It's not a necessity. The whole point is to have high prices.

  4175.  @jackielobin7100  The JD "couch" stuff is silly, but it's floating around on Twitter, so of course the "tech bros" see it. They have to be seething.

  4176. Not being sexist and maybe I'm imaging things, but the guy narrator videos are always a bit more insightful. The female ones seem like re-hash.

  4183.  @immealldayeveryday9425  Not my point. I don't think you understand how Korean culture and to a degree laws work.

  4184. EU making the same mistake. Getting in bed with Russia was really successful. It's literally the autocrats' plan. Make things difficult and get no pushback when they do shitty things to neighbors.

  4186. Even I know that is bad. Rewarding bad behavior.

  4187. All cars can go that fast, but they aren't "driveable". Had a stock Civic after college and got it close to 100mph, but the car would shake a bit and the handling sucked. Upgraded to a 3 series BMW and it's the complete opposite. Regularly would get to 100mph and it felt like 65mph.

  4188. Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson’s Putin commentator said UA was losing the war and should surrender…on Fri.
    2
  4189.  @justinkinkade2063  Actually, Obama knew the dangers and was slowly putting measures in place. TPP was the first step, but couldn't get through. TPP was basically decoupling before it became vogue (ironically, we are basically flowing in that direction now with the exception of India who was not in the TPP.) Admin was split into 2 categories under Trump: 1- military / foreign policy hawks 2- trade hawks Trump ignored the first part and only focused on the trade deficit. Honestly, I think if the trade deficit would have evened out, Trump would have let everything else slide. A few people on this team were the foreign policy hawks though. Have no idea if they could have convinced him without the trade imbalance.

    2
  4199. What people have to realize is part of being in power even in a sharing agreement is blocking the nonsense from the right. Dems lost the courts when Trump got elected.

  4200. Sake > Soju My heart says to drink soju as a Korean. My brain says sake due to better taste + less hangovers.

  4201. What about Xi's siblings and in-laws who are billionaires? What about Xi's daughter who flaunted her wealth on Twitter? And, who paid for her Ivy League education and living in the US?
    2
  4202. Sounds corny, but you have to "go with the flow". I'm guessing people start to panic and expend all their energy fighting the current. Almost best just to backfloat until you stop and then swim parallel to the beach to where waves are breaking and then swim forward.

  4203. WTF dude. There are millions of US citizens that live abroad. DON’T GO TO DANGEROUS AREAS IF YOU CANT HANDLE THE “SMOKE”. The US government is the last resort not the first option.

  4210. Bars / clubs are always going to be the worst. No circulated air, masks will be off and constantly touching things as you are drinking, people jammed close to each other. Worst possible scenario for the virus containment.

  4213. Well, at least Iran stopped blaming the US and Israel for the bombing.

  4214. Genocide. Using the lockdown to kill off the minorities in the western area. Then, they’ll import other poor rural people to work the factories out there.

  4226. Nike, KFC, Estee Lauder, MCD, Apple. These are all real data points that you can trust. They publish data quarterly for their earnings. Oddly, MCD bought back the stores in China that they sold years ago.

  4227. No one is happier than Michael Cohen these days. I don't know how much is a grift and how much he's seeking a bit of penance. I genuinely think the dude found a bit of "freedom" after jail. Didn't have to lie and do shady things for Trump. And while he isn't working for Trump anymore, the guy is a bit addicted to the spotlight. Probably impossible to remove that pull.

  4231. Just terrible. Female cop had no clue what to do. She either need to go full force and slam the door shut. Or, back the heck up and create space. She went one hand on her gun and started grabbing him with the other hand in some weird middle ground position.

  4232. Yeah, auto deaths are less than 40,000 PER YEAR. And our fricken population is around 330M not 382M. What is wrong with these people?

  4236.  @RevShifty  umm, wasn't there a college athlete at some point that made some big kerfuffle? Some pretty big physical differences by high school (in some cases I'd imagine). Though I was pretty skinny not all my friends were or my brother.
    2
  4237.  @RevShifty  lol, another "middle ground". Unions. I'm pro-union! But damn. That crappy MLB umpire that can't get fired because the union protects him (Angel Hernandez). Also, my Dad was a teacher. I think I remember reading about NYC teachers at some point (not my Dad's city). The really bad teachers weren't fired, but sent to some room where they would sit there all day and get paid (this was many years ago).
    2
  4238.  @reed6514  I won't disagree with any of that, but I'd caution you a bit. We have close to 160M workers in the US. And generally, companies are structured to follow rules. Genuine mistakes happen. Also, intentional negligent acts happen. It's going to be a mixed bag.

  4256. KBS is basically a government run channel. The President (of the country) hires the CEO of KBS. Thus, KBS is part of the government’s mission of soft power. That’s why you always see subtitles for KBS World stuff. It’s setup to share Korean culture to the outside world.

  4263.  @ellenakerblad7157  I think you are seeing a lot of TV stories / docs now about Chinese adoptees because of the sheer numbers, but more from a 3rd person perspective. The Korean adoptee voice has gotten established as older adoptees have taken the reins and laid down grass root organizations. That's why I said 5-10 years. Most likely as the Chinese adoptees hit their late 20s-30s. But yes, it's very hard for an adoptee as a teenager to genuinely figure out their feelings about adoption. Being a teenager is tough by itself. My Korean birth family waited until I was mid-20s to look for me. Not sure if that was a bad or good thing to wait.

  4265. Btw, I think we may be conflating brands. I think Thermos is more like Xerox. It's a specific brand, but has morphed into standard lexicon. (There is a specific word for this phenomenon, but I can't remember. Kleenex is another example of this.) Bad internet research says: lower case "thermos" isn't trademarked. Capitalized is trademarked. In 1962, Judge Robert Anderson ruled that thermos was a generic term, due largely to Thermos's own publicization and lack of diligence in defending the trademark. Aladdin (or any company) could mark its bottles with a lowercase "thermos", while the Thermos company retained the uppercase usage. This decision rendered the trademark partially genericized in the US Second Circuit (New York, Connecticut, and Vermont), but it remains a registered trademark in the rest of the US, and in over 100 other countries.

  4269. In theory, Korean unification would vault Korea as an economic power. Just as South Korea's population is declining, it would add labor and all production could shift to the North. Would be extremely messy due to the inequities of the population and jobs shifting. But, its never going to happen.

  4270. In 1787, there was a sizable block of delegates who were initially opposed to the Bill of Rights.

  4280.  @bingbing3464  What are you babbling about? The original poster is performing verbal vomit. They have been complicit in this bubble. I could have popped in in the early 2010s for then. But then, it would have tanked their economy like now. Chinese government promptly (PROMPTLY) popped the property bubble and refused to re-fuel it to avoid bigger problem down the road.
    2
  4281.  @bingbing3464  Obviously, you aren't an economist. You actually think that's a good thing for an economy? You should spend a few hours reading Michael Pettis' work. You'll be infinitely smarter about the topic and parrot his talking points. People will think you are a genius. My degree in Finance allows me to understand and follow his analysis. Might be a bit of stretch for you since you seem to only have cursory knowledge of economics.
    2
  4282.  @bingbing3464  lol, you really believe that China can defy the theories and principles of macroeconomics? A child can understand microeconomics. That's why you have a grasp of it. It's simple things that people do a regular basis. Macroeconomics is intangible for most people. And, thus hard for people to get their tiny brains around it. Regardless, I'm not going to waste any more time on this. I'll check back in 2 years and remind you. Maybe then, you'll find a good textbook and get a better grasp.

And, stuff breaks down every easily at that age.

  4286. Yikes, used to work late in office all the time and remember seeing the older female night cleaner. Though, she used to eat dinner with her male co-worker. She looked like a tough cookie and the dude was older and more frail than her.
    2
  4287. Idiots. Stripping the VRA 10 years ago got us into this mess.
    2
  4288. I’d rather see Seohyun in these roles. It’s her personality in real life.
    2
  4289. In addition, an amendment added to the collective bargaining agreement in 2020 allows teams to gain a special compensatory pick in the third round if a minority employee is hired by another team as a head coach or primary football executive.
    2
  4290. lol, just like Pooh Bear thinks deflation / cheaper prices are good for an economy. Always amusing when people make comments and reveal their knowledge on a subject.
    2
  4291. Literally, the cheapest war the US the has been involved. No boots on the ground (no blood shed) and minimal financial contribution. Will cost 100-150B across 3 years. Future soldiers medical expenses from the Iraq / Afghanistan are exponentially higher than what we are paying for UA. We used to be about defending democracy.
    2
  4292. I took my parents to Europe. The airfare was over 50% of the expenses due to business class seats.
    2
  4293. Seems like pseudo child porn. Didn’t mention anything about removal of clothes. I’m sure there are legit photographers that do kid’s shoots.
    2
  4294. It’s called a salamander. Way better.
    2
  4295.  @therese6030  lol, Americans are worse. Mine would always be. Are you Chinese? Are you Japanese? No, then what are you? Even though we fought a war in Korea, no Americans knew anything about Korea when I was growing up. I stayed in the same suburb town my whole upbringing, so everyone kinda knew me. Would have sucked to move around. I had most of the same friends from middle school through high school. Later, I moved to Hawaii for school and California post-college. Was the best experience as I just blended in because there are tons of different types of Asians. People just assume you are a mix and don't really probe since it's not that abnormal. P.S. I posted a picture of my YouTube profile during my 1st trip to Korea to meet my birth family years ago (I'll keep it up for a few days and then change it back to unlisted.)
    2
  4296. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office in the US ran new numbers: And the agency’s economists now estimate that immigrants will add $7 trillion to gross domestic product over the next decade. Federal tax revenues will be greater by about $1 trillion than previously expected.
    2
  4297. Actually if they had treasuries, they would have been less screwed. There is tons of liquidity and they could have cut their losses. They are in MBS which is highly illiquid now. Impossible to sell what they had on the books even if they wanted to.
    2
  4298. Settle down. It's around 200-300 per year. The screening rules are pretty stringent. They have orphanages in Korea that get stipends. Trust me. That ain't some golden life either.
    2
  4299. Very unlikely Korea would join anything broad. They need to keep their focus on the North.
    2
  4300.  @hansweissmann_xviii6754  We ain't giving UA our top tier stuff.
    2
  4301. Crazy they don’t have solar panels on that plant.
    2
  4302. Yeah, the left has gone mad.
    2
  4303.  @Boomer_Power  Fain has been campaigning hard since he became the UAW head.
    2
  4304. Really bizarre. Operating internationally, but storing the money in Korea.
    2
  4305. I always like the poker game analogy. Poker works well when people have a similar amount of chips. If 1 person has all the chips, the game is no fun. The economy and our societal system works optimally when more people have chips.
    2
  4306.  @heneliezer1421  30-1 price to income ratios for housing.
    2
  4307. The guest was maybe a bit too excited talking about this case, lol.
    2
  4308. It's both sides. The scale and size of the companies allow them to compete with global brands. That's great for the overall Korean economy. It's value added business that would never happen. But, the scale and size of the companies make them dominate the local market. Really hard for smaller companies to flourish. Korea should be way more entrepreneurial, but the system prevents it.
    2
  4309.  @greenfroggood2392  Police officers are responsible to the public and public safety. Plains clothes Capitol police are the equivalent of bodyguards (Secret Service). It’s an entirely different role and responsibility.
    2
  4310. Yeah, it's a Korean law. Obviously, there is proper paperwork and documentation needed.
    2
  4311. CL was so good back then.
    2
  4312. One of those classic... ahh, it's a joke. Is this a joke? Wait, what? This isn't a joke.
    2
  4313. No free press. No elections. So, no checks and balances.
    2
  4314. Dude - have you ever hired someone? Everyone basically has the same qualifications.
    2
  4315.  @SandcastleDreams  Not the connoisseur of Fox. Did he do an interview?
    2
  4316. Seriously? A currency can't be forced to any value if it doesn't free float.
    2
  4317. It's because Korea wasn't very modern or educated until 40-50 years ago. Much slower than the west (Japanese occupation, War, poverty etc). When I first went to Korea and asked for water from my relatives, they gave me tea (cold barley tea). I'm guessing this is because the water wasn't great in past and they had to drink tea. I grew up drinking tap water in the States.
    2
  4318. Kids would have been fine in any quality car. Not sure about the front due to the ICE engine.
    2
  4319. It’s Utah. How the heck did campus police not have the time to investigate this properly? They are negligent and should be sued.
    2
  4320. lol, they didn't research Mehdi Hasan? They probably thought it was Al Jazeera and the dude would be friendly.
    2
  4321.  @HowToChangeName  Have you seen the pictures of the factory? I have. It's a basic building shell. Nothing complex.
    2
  4322. You've got math issues. Ain't even close to 67%.
    2
  4323. lol, fits into removing the minimum age for kids to work.
    2
  4324. That reporter is top notch. Had good command of the subject matter and seems invested on doing the groundwork
    2
  4325. If Joe Biden was not white, no way would be VP under Obama or POTUS later.
    2
  4326. He's basically a Grisham type lawyer.
    2
  4327. It’s called negative correlation. Perfect negative correlation is -1 which rarely happens. Basically, just drawing a line between a set of points with one axis being numbers of crabs and the other number of restaurants. Excel has this function as well.
    2
  4328. I'd believe it if someone told me that Park Eun-Hye and Eugene were sisters.
    2
  4329.  @mar1eru  Once, I'm American. Two, it's a national pride thing. Maybe your country doesn't have it. It's the same reason why Korean sports teams get a military exemption if they do well in certain sporting events.
    2
  4330.  @PikaChu-uz4su  Why do you think people admired the US in the past when people barely traveled and didn't have the internet? You need to research "soft power". It was Hollywood and music (and bad food). That's how American culture spread. When you are a nation of 55M people and still at war with a crazy person with nukes, building up your standing in the world is important even if silly Kpop. And don't bag on Kpop, it's helped thaw feelings with the younger Japanese-Korean generations. You're welcome for the geopolitics lesson.
    2
  4331.  @rack9458  False. All immigration. There was a reason why they didn't put safeguards in the Reagan amnesty package.
    2
  4332. Worked in a seafood restaurant when I was a teenager. Can't remember how many times we would re-use the oil, but I remember filtering it. We would empty / filter it at night and then clean the fryers.
    2
  4333.  @foxskyful  When 9-11 happened, the whole internet crashed. People were trying to refresh news pages. It took literally minutes to reload. Also in the 2000s, we had limited network space at work. I think my capacity was 100MB in the beginning. No, not GB. MB.
    2
  4334. lol, an isolationist.
    2
  4335. Sounds like they are 155mm shells which have a reduced range. Won't even get close to Russia.
    2
  4336. Chuck Todd is the worst. Can't believe he is a protege of Tim Russert. Seems like he didn't learn anything from him.
    2
  4337. Pooh Bear might not make through 2025. China is in a massive recession right now.
    2
  4338. IHS should be setting up scholarships for Native Americans training doctors in exchange for working for IHS (for 10 years).
    2
  4339. Legit good dude (minus the tax evasion). Wish he hadn't of hired Mercer though. F' that guy.
    2
  4340. 50+ million people live in Korea. You get a tilted sense of crime if you watch a news station like this.
    2
  4341. Yeah, the I am Legend scenery isn’t a good thing though.
    2
  4342. Puff pieces on tofu. Things must be really bad.
    2
  4343. lol, you don't know anything about American families.
    2
  4344. Buddy - don't overcomplicate it. People switching homes doesn't do anything. It's still a net zero. The reality is a sizable group of people own multiple properties now. The housing market will be in a permanent headwind due to people offloading properties and less "households" due to population stagnation / decline.
    2
  4345. Wait until they have to rely on Chinese software, semis and servers.
    2
  4346. lol, CCP always faking numbers. What nonsense.
    2
  4347. lol, no way.
    2
  4348. The US military is stocked with a bunch of racists and possible domestic terrorists.
    2
  4349. This is the least surprising news as home values have plummeted.
    2
  4350. Earlier in my career, I was the numbers person. Even though the production side didn't impact me directly from a functional standpoint, I halfway inquired about visiting some of the factories in China. My production counterpart dissuaded me a bit as it's a pretty hectic trip and some of the factories were in less glamourous areas. That's likely the closest I'll ever get to visiting China.
    2
  4351. My first visit to Korea and we took the train from Incheon to Seoul. All I remember is the heated seats that made me drowsy.
    2
  4352.  @stephenhardy312  Close. It was the EU countries that joined the Axis powers later in the game: Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania. Congressional act in 1942.
    2
  4353. @ So frustrating. Using a American tourist is the exact opposite of a proper example. A correct example would have an American worker get hired by local Chinese firm doing the same job. You really think union car workers in the US have a worst standard of living than car workers in China?
    2
  4354. Brics bucks!
    2
  4355.  @IamAWESOME3980  This is the crux of the argument. It's it nature vs nurture. Professionals are still debating this on how people are impacted. The obvious answer is it's a combination of both. As an adoptee, I've become more "Korean" as I've gotten older. It definitely wasn't due to my culture because I had very little exposure to Korean culture as a kid.
    2
  4356.  @SDongil  Huh? Dude - this is super recent. The kid, main focus, is a teenager, so he was adopted in the early 2000s.
    2
  4357.  @christinanguyen3778  Pure generalization, but guys tend to have less of a pull towards the emotional side of adoption. I've talked to many female Korean adoptees in the past and it seemed like there was more of a connection lost. Yeah, I'm totally generalizing inaccurately here.
    2
  4358. A simple “property” tax would have slowed the bubble years ago. Would have structurally fixed the local tax revenue as well.
    2
  4359.  @blazingfire_0712  The US military has way more employees than Chase.
    2
  4360. Have to comment on this again. It's literally people's job to analyze this type of data. And genius, Mr Cosmos (which seems like an insult to the word cosmos) thinks he found a hole in the statistics and claims they are reporting it wrong by a factor of 4. Let me put it in simplified English for a nitwit with an advanced degree to understand: IT'S ANYONE THAT IS LOOKING / WANTS A JOB IN THIS AGE BRACKET. THAT'S HOW IT'S DEFINED. - Are you 16-24? - Do you want to be employed? - Are you employed? THIS AIN'T ROCKET SCIENCE.
    2
  4361. Reagan is turning over in his grave. GOP has become weak on national security.
    2
  4362. We are big country: 335M people. We've always had mental health issues, but no one heard about them because people weren't watching news from other cities online. Some of these stories would barely be in the papers back in the day.
    2
  4363. What about his past positions on Trump? Reporters are terrible.
    2
  4364. Basically happened in the rich suburbs of Baltimore. Kid went to Dulaney which a public school, but has more of a prep school feel.
    2
  4365.  @28naveenator27van  Bento Kawano has been open for 40 years and offers some bentos at $4. And, they are located in Tokyo. There are a ton of these bento shops in Japan. Generally, the good ones have obsessive owners. Their labor would be 2-3x a normal worker cost. A lot of sweat equity goes into the business.
    2
  4366. This outbreak is “amusing” as an American. Sadly, their outbreak is a rounding error for our deaths.
    2
  4367. Germany out of the frying pan (Russia) and into the fire (China). I’m sure this will end well.
    2
  4368. Dark Brandon strikes again.
    2
  4369. All candidates can ring out. It’s a total choice thing for each individual. Only 20% make it through. (But, some dudes go through few times to pass.)
    2
  4370. The Mayor is covering up the truth! He owns a funeral parlor and graduated from a mortician school. He’s obsessed and on the side of dead things. (See what I did there, lol.)
    2
  4371. Zhu Youyong aka the reverse Norman Borlaug.
    2
  4372. I'm sorry. The name, "Tad Bert" Cullum made me laugh.
    2
  4373. You give the AI censors way to much credit. They ain’t that smart.
    2
  4374. The Ezra Klein interview is when he’s at his best. He’s extremely good one on one.
    2
  4375. Always some asshole that has to be negative. Go to your basement and be a miserable person. Shoo.
    2
  4376. The US with all its checks and balance had military leaders basically lying about the progress and assessment in Afghanistan. Military commanders don’t like to say they are losing. Likely, much worse with the Russian military.
    2
  4377. Yeah, just snort it. Much harder to get addicted unless you have low self control.
    2
  4378. Since it was the Northeast, it was probably an old brick chimney. Definitely, not meant for something to be bolted into.
    2
  4379. Still comes down to equipment resupply. I’ve always been skeptical of the military industrial complex, but we need to pump it up to 100x. The CCP is going after Taiwan and we need to be restocked.
    2
  4380. Not degrading the dogs actions, but very easy for his sniffer. At least 10,000x better than humans.
    2
  4381. "...months watching Fox news clips..." They definitely need to get some type of award after this prep.
    2
  4382. Housing prices should be equivalent to the rental income you can generate and shove into a CF model. SCMP had an example where someone was paying $3,480 in rent annually, but the price of the unit was $148K. That's double what SF, USA rent to value is.
    2
  4383. KBS is essentially government owned. KBS world will always have subtitles because it’s part of soft power: spreading Korean culture via TV.
    2
  4384. Can you imagine if the court was majority left? And the right’s favorite target, George Soros, was traveling and paying for private planes, yachts and trips for the past 20 years intentionally undisclosed.
    2
  4385. Korea has stepped into the void. The won’t deal with the “shady” countries, but dealing with NATO and somewhat neutral countries. Interestingly, they are doing some “lease” technology deals allowing countries to manufacture on their homelands as well.
    2
  4386. CIA got a lot of mileage out of publishing the details of the Rocket Force. Made Xi turn everything upside down and slowed the PLA tactically. Burns will go down as one of the better CIA directors in modern times.
    2
  4387. Very fair assessment. Government spending is the one component that has been throttled higher.
    2
  4388. It’s going to be a recession. That’s the multiplier effect. A lost job at $80K is closer to 1.8x the economic value.
    2
  4389. Wow, Santa has a 2nd job as tree climber / cat rescuer.
    2
  4390. I liked watching Cops as a kid, but it was never for the cops.
    2
  4391.  @dkindig  Dealing with 6 figure sums means he's a middleman. Can't imagine he's street dealing.
    2
  4392. We'd have to eliminate capitalism. Every company raised prices to protect their profit margins.
    2
  4393. @ Interesting. My only point is a foreigner in China with a stable "westernized" income and no mortgage won't be feeling the same effects as a local who owns a property with a family. Considering the dude didn't give any details, I'm making assumptions.
    2
  4394. @ ahh, the big guy mantra of "what's wrong with falling prices". Politely, have a good day and I'll stop responding. If you really think that a -50% collapse in asset prices is a positive to the economy, I honestly don't know what to say.
    2
  4395. lol, Eric Bolling is talking about camo hats in a house on a golf course. The guy grew up in Chicago and worked on Wall Street.
    2
  4396.  @janremongalura5713  It's been well publicized. Just look it up. It's why Taiwan is working with OneWeb which is basically EU government funded.
    2
  4397.  @Lsr2380  lol, he loves that Pooh Bear honeypot. Elon is not a friend to anyone, but himself and gaining dictator like power.
    2
  4398. Dems listening to these videos need to understand… You are watching these for a different opinion. Being outside the echo chamber is uncomfortable.
    2
  4399. JFC. Byul looks great for age. Plus, she has 3 kids and HAD THE LAST ONE 3 MONTHS BEFORE THIS SHOW.
    2
  4400. Dude - it's math and science. And, the internet. You really think there is a magic formula to eliminate turbulence? Flights have doubled in 20ish years. Did you know a flight attendant got sucked out of a plane in 1988?
    2
  4401.  @zerowilde  You must be unfamiliar with how big pharma works. They only care about profits and will push drugs at all costs for any use they can get away with.
    2
  4402. Most companies with heavy debt loads is via traditional debt instruments. Yeah, they'll have heavy accounts payable, but nothing to the extent of Evergrande. Bondholder debt is not even 40% of the total debt on the balance sheet. Too lazy to look up Country Garden.
    2
  4403. CCP starting to talk like the meme stock longs.
    2
  4404.  @melkor2024  lol, British American Tabacco, VF and FedEx are all well known financial companies. HAHAHAHAHAHAH. Do you even read the business news or just flame bad information on the internet? BAT significantly downsized its Hong Kong office where most of its Asia regional operations used to be located, and moved 44 Hong Kong-based staff to Singapore, including its regional director Michael Dijanosic. VF Corporation went first. In January 2021, the parent of fashion brands The North Face, Timberland, and Vans said it was moving its regional operations out of Hong Kong. FedEx plans to move Asia HQ, executives to Singapore from Hong Kong
    2
  4405. I nominate Santos for Speaker!

  4406. Unlike the Irregular Russian shoot down, take offs and landings are always the danger points.
    2
  4407.  @rayalsop  In the fable, the apple hit him in the head and he jolted his brain a bit about why things fall down.
    2
  4408. Man, this is painful.
    2
  4409. As someone who has grown there hair out 3 different times (and its as long as that dudes), it's a nice way to rebel against the norms of the world.
    2
  4410. It's because most Americans are eating crappy Italian food. The food in Italy is made with a lot more finesse than in the States.
    2
  4411.  @toddaulner5393  You've never watched the West Wing. It's a "what's next" type statement.
    2
  4412. 2:51 lol, Doosan is a Korean company.
    2
  4413.  @muay_khao  He'll go down as one of the most influential POTUS in modern history. The massive shift to re-shoring / near-shoring is a fundamental change in our economic structure.
    2
  4414. People really don't understand the real world implications on US debt and the impact to the wider world ie emerging countries. They have no idea about spreads on debt yields.
    2
  4415. Tim Walz is popular for the same reasons why Tim Russert was popular.
    2
  4416.  @j.oalonso8021  Houston, we have a problem. If you can't grasp single word metaphors, you certainly can't breakdown more complex ones.
    2
  4417.  @4skinj  Our system of elections is decentralized. States and local officials determine the ballots and the election process. Hence the shitty "butterfly" ballot in FL in '00. Probably cost Gore the election in '00.
    2
  4418. Well, this is what America used to be about.
    2
  4419.  @johnnyblue4799  lol, Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia stole Crimea. Russia funded and stole Eastern Ukraine.
    2
  4420. Send the info to US publications. We have no such laws.
    2
  4421. Guess it’s like snorting coke and then taking opioids to fall asleep.
    2
  4422. lol, typical responses in the comment section when its a certain "type" of person. Country is batshit crazy.
    2
  4423. Was the most watched drama of the year.
    2
  4424. Are you a ROK citizen?
    2
  4425. lol, you are arguing the spirit of the law. That's a low bar.
    2
  4426. DPA would be enacted. Production would be up and running by now if this was a hot war.
    2
  4427. Wait, so random dude is just calling up Western media? I hate Pooh Bear like everyone else, but geez.
    2
  4428. Although the video is about Myanmar, the friendship is what stood out to me.
    2
  4429. Coke, weed, E, shrooms and LSD all used to really safe. People used to sell decent product. Killing off the customers wasn't a thing in the past.
    2
  4430.  @r830-l7w  Someone needs to put Stephen Breyer in a protective suit. The dude is 82. Need him to last until Jan 3rd if Dems win the Senate.
    2
  4431. Hmm, maybe we shouldn’t have cut taxes for corporations by $1+ Trillion.
    2
  4432. Korea has a lot of real time CCTV cameras. Also, I’m sure some precincts have drone capabilities. Someone should have realized the crowd was getting a bit too big. I think it’s going to come down to 2 things: 1- lower level people don’t have the freedom to contradict someone at a higher level. I’m sure someone at the lower level realized they were understaffed 2- failure of bureaucracy. People hate on government people that stay in one department / location, but that has benefits. Can’t replicate learned Knowledge. Wonder if some of the local department heads have been in place for a short time
    2
  4433. She's got one of the most unique cases: 1- She was really old. Has to be <0.1% of cases someone that old gets adopted internationally at that age 2- She was adopted with her brother. Another rarity to get adopted as siblings. Probably like <1% of adoptions 3- She was sexually abused. No data on this, but an educated guess is <20%. Standards all female stats (not just adopted) are 12% for females and 1/3 of the cases are with a family member.
    2
  4434. Kinda ironic. We threw the Native Americans on lands we thought were terrible and had no value.
    2
  4435. My parents didn’t let us watch TV, lol.
    2
  4436. @ That is the weirdest stat to throw out. The US sells 15M per year. 31M has no relevance to anything. Politely, why would you use that number?
    2
  4437. Does a bear sh** in the woods?
    2
  4438. Ok, unpopular take here: Suzy is too good looking to be in a girl group. It's distracting and too much contrast vs the other girls. For example: all the SNSD girls are on the same level. Same with Wonder Girls (Totally serious, not joking)
    2
  4439. lol, either UA is playing mind games or this is a Russia setup. A person would need to be within 10ft to get hurt.
    2
  4440. If you have no concerns about an open ecosystem, there is no advantage of buying Apple products. Some of us prefer the closed ecosystem for security purposes.
    2
  4441. I donated to both of Obama's campaigns. I'm basically center-left. He was horrible geopolitically. Not as bad as Bush Jr or Trump, but pretty bad. Geopolitics is one of the areas where experience matters. McCain was a bit too much of a hawk for me, but he was right on a lot of stuff.
    2
  4442. Yeah, these analysts sell fear.
    2
  4443. Take college graduates in 2022 or 2023 / births from 20-22 years ago. You'll get north of 60% and closer to 70%. CCP ain't generating that many white collar jobs.
    2
  4444.  @MissTalmo  lol, that is false. It was handling international flights way before this. You've never been to Korea. There are very few domestic flights since the country is small. People just take the train.

  4445. Always knew HRC was unlikeable. Just didn’t realize she was hated. Biden doesn’t fall into that category.

  4446. The war ain’t about Russia’s security of their homeland. It’s about the natural gas pipelines that run through UA. It’s about the natural resources that UA has under the earth. Putin is a two bit thief.

  4447. I enjoy watching the restaurant videos from Japan. People just working hard with fair prices and good quality food. And, get supported by their community. Branding and community seem to mean nothing in CCP China.

  4448. No one is afraid of heights. People are afraid of falling from those heights.

  4449. Evergrande has been an issue since 2012. People just chose to ignore it.

  4450. We (the US) really should have invaded Canada in the late 1800s (joking). The countries do compliment each other well though.
    2
  4451. It's a thing. People used to compliment me on how well I speak English.

  4452. Total terrorist tactic. Was in the movie Kingdom.

  4453.  @dennissvitak5475  lol, people are simpletons. You are probably familiar with this. Despite a petition from more than 1,000 economists urging him to veto the legislation, Hoover signed the bill into law on June 17, 1930.

  4454. Watched an HBO show on obese people. Yo-yo dieting kills your metabolism forever. 2000 calories that used to maintain your weight will make you gain weight after you screw up your metabolism.

  4458.  @Kainthemain  Healthcare is 18% of GDP. That's $3+ Trillion per year. We give Israel a few billion a year. You are missing 3 zeros on the balance of cash.

  4459. Kids with zero social interaction turned out crazy. Sleep well and don't worry about it. Neighbors said the Bever parents homeschooled their children and kept them from interacting with neighbors or other children.
    2
  4460. The information is out there. They were going after the son. Dad was just in the way. Obviously, there was some beef with the son and the gang.

  4461. I can’t imagine they let hair dye in prison. Surprised the dude is almost 50. His time in prison didn’t age him much.
    2
  4462. People love saying this. But, this assumes that supply chain can be thrashed around on a dime. And, people always forget about the other side of the equation. Psst, China isn't a self contained bubble when producing a product. Imports become more expensive. Basically, a manufacturer can "possibly" bid lower in labor costs, but labor costs that are still higher than SE Asia and Mexico.

  4467. Zero chance it falls by -70%.

  4468.  @0xyGen_2.p0  I'm one of the few people that aren't worried. The only area I'd be a bit concerned is the military. If I were a politician, I'd start creating small test programs for foreigners to join the military in exchange for citizenship. It's really easy to import workers for Korea due to it's size. I'd imagine that Korea will be get to at least 25% foreigner / mixed race over time. That's only +10M people (currently at 5%). That's a reasonable number to import math wise. Society will need to change and become more welcoming which will have issues. lol, if China imported 10% more people that would be 140M.
    2
  4469.  @0xyGen_2.p0  The YouTube automated shadow banning comment software really makes me think AI is terrible right now. They can't even distill language properly. There is no rhyme or reason why it bans some comments and allows others.

  4470. There is no need in the US. Costco and Walmart do the work for people. Or you can just go online and find the cheapest price.
    2
  4471.  @palvierflex4344  The economy is much different these days, but I read Grapes of Wrath when I was a teenager. And, that's at 25% unemployment. 50% unemployment is cataclysmic and basically everyone would be zombies.
    2
  4472. Korea was a very very poor country until the 1980s.

  4476.  @jaepesci1685  Not going to comment on that. I'm the guy that chased down kids when they would steal candy during my job in college. My only point is the original commenter has never taken public transportation if they think 50 cents is bus fare.

  4477.  @jaepesci1685  Great, you can sue me for my actions when I was in my late teens. And, Prop 47 doesn't address the retail store.

  4484. This company is effectively bankrupt. Revenue will drop -80% at least. No real way for the brand to survive. Don't know much about their business and if they have non-branded items. Regardless, have to imagine any customer will dump them anyway.
    2
  4485. It’s actually a legal principle: “Falsus in uno. Falsus in omnibus.” Now, there is looser application, but it’s still minimally an argument to discredit a witness. In more stricter applications, testimony can be thrown out.

  4489. The drawdown of 2 wars came at a suboptimal time. We've been cutting production for years and now need 10x the production capacity. (June 1, 2021) The Army wants to cut its spending on 155 mm artillery rounds to $174 million in fiscal year 2022, down from the $306.3 million Congress appropriated for FY-21.

  4490. My Dad got his 2nd Master's for "fun". No pay bump. Just wanted to learn more. He was a teacher and already had a Master's in education. When I was a kid, he spent a few summers at a college and dormed there. Only reason I remember it was because he was gone one summer and we had a bat in our house. Obviously, the Chinese college system is a scam they can't end. Basically, like the US fly by night colleges the government cracked down on. They generate too much revenue for college administrators.

  4491. Weird shit when the old GOP hawks are now aligned with the new Democratic party. WTF is going on.

  4492. Reminds of the story: A fellow was stuck on his rooftop in a flood. He was praying to God for help. Soon a man in a rowboat came by and the fellow shouted to the man on the roof, "Jump in, I can save you." The stranded fellow shouted back, "No, it's OK, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me." So the rowboat went on. Then a motorboat came by. "The fellow in the motorboat shouted, "Jump in, I can save you." To this the stranded man said, "No thanks, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith." So the motorboat went on. Then a helicopter came by and the pilot shouted down, "Grab this rope and I will lift you to safey." To this the stranded man again replied, "No thanks, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith." So the helicopter reluctantly flew away. Soon the water rose above the rooftop and the man drowned. He went to Heaven. He finally got his chance to discuss this whole situation with God, at which point he exclaimed, "I had faith in you but you didn't save me, you let me drown. I don't understand why!" To this God replied, "I sent you a rowboat and a motorboat and a helicopter, what more did you expect?"

  4493. Geez, this seems like a popular idea.

  4494. lol, totally opposite experiences. Pretty easy to be an Asian in Hawaii, not so much in the midwest. And, Cali is the happy medium in between the two. (Grew up in the East Coast. Went to UH for college. Settled in Cali. I'm basically the combination of all these people's experiences.)

  4495. God Save the King (literally).

  4496. Israel is going to let Iran get nukes because they can’t make a few concessions with the Palestinians. Could have easily undercut Iran with a softer hand toward Palestine and given credit to the Saudis and establish relations. Israel is making massive strategic blunders now.

  4497. Amazingly, the map was way different back then. He didn’t win NH, his home state of TN, VA, NV, OH. And obviously FL. Any of those states would have put him ahead.

  4501. Trump will be 79 next year. It's way more important for an old POTUS. That guy could have the nuclear codes.

  4502. These dudes are just as bad as the current regime. More worried about the implications for Jordan.

  4503. I think people that appreciate Zen and Eastern philosophy understand the draw of Marie Kondo. There is a calmness mixed with appreciation which is very different from American culture.

  4511. You've probably never been to Incheon. This isn't the area near the airport or Songdo. Incheon is pretty old (relatively). I don't know the exact location, but its a few miles away from my relatives.

  4512. Probably the last group that will have an 8 year age gap. Definitely started to phase out big age ranges and make sure members were closer in age.

  4513. Come on, it’s Fox Business channel. They have to discuss how the stock market has plummeted since Biden got elected. (It’s +28%.)
    2
  4514. The other thing not discussed is NFLX has expanded production budgets. Helps increase the quality of the dramas. Ironically, buying Korean TV shows is the polar opposite of their original dump all the shows out at the same time. To some degree, this helps stop churn (keeps people subscribed). Also, Korean dramas are relatively cheap. NFLX paid over $100M per year for the Seinfeld rights.
    2
  4515.  @buffmordecai1498  Dude - I'm not a criminal. Someone obtaining my DNA for an investigation isn't that same as selling my DNA. Can't get any more private than that. (Yeah, I know what the internet companies do by selling browsing data.)
    2
  4516. There are way more restrictions with checks and balances these days for international adoptions. To a degree, adoptions are almost disincentivized since there are government stipends per kid in orphanages.

  4519. Not for an average investor. These fixed income people are talking about a small slice to diversify. Also, they are talking about rates coming down at some point and the dollar weakening.

  4520. @ Politely, you must have gotten a terrible score on your math SATs. US egg farms are 240x bigger than Canada's. You really think the US has a population 240x bigger?
    2
  4521. Yes. I'd say its 50-50 that he knew earlier.
    2
  4522.  @multistan9582  The commenter is making an assumption off no data. It's lazy and incorrect. These type of stories are shocking in Korea because they are the exception. In the US, I wouldn't even think twice about hearing about stuff like this. It's a weird broad based judgement off an entire society due to this one off case. Korea and Japan are extremely safe countries.
    2
  4523. Always weird to see the contrast in camera / film type vs today. Remember seeing TV shows in Korea in the early 2000s and they looked weird because it was flat screen and this type of filming which was advanced. Now, it looks weird because they use all type of filters in today's shows.
    2
  4524. Dude left his DNA in the house and they used public database to find him. Same way they found the Golden State Killer. Really hard to get away with murder unless you use a gun at long(ish) range and a stolen car.

  4525. 7:12 those mat things are semi-required...in condo buildings to regulate the noise. They live in a single detached home with no downstairs neighbors, so not really as necessary.
    2
  4526. Soju is a weird alcohol. The % isn’t that high, but it can get your really drunk fast and it gives you the worst hangovers. I puked the 1st ever drinking soju. When I used to be a big drinker, I could drink 2-3x more sake than soju. I could easily drink 1 large bottle of sake (2 reg size bottles of soju), be buzzed and go drink more. With soju, I’d be really struggling.
    2
  4527. If geopolitics weren't involved, all Chinese financial institutions would be running a version of the yen carry trade. Borrowing massive amounts of money in yuan and buying UST hand over fist. Yields are nearly 300bps higher in UST than Chinese government bonds. The risk of the yuan is not about appreciating, but depreciating which makes UST even more valuable when dollar dividends are paid.

  4528. lol, they were doing this in his last term.

  4529.  @JohnnySin-cp7fz  The drunk driving BAC is extremely low in Korea at 0.3%. That's like 2 drinks.

  4530. Well, we don't want him either. Onward towards the brig I guess.
    2
  4531.  @auggieeast  In 2015, they slowly stopped publishing detailed economic data points. Can't audit their top line numbers anymore. Just have to "believe" their press releases. Used to be 80,000 economic statistics. Now, it's around 10-15,000. But, if you are curious, you can make up your own fake numbers: GDP = C (consumption) + I (Investment) + G (Government spending) + NX (net exports) I'm not sure when new homes sales started -30%, but that's when they started going negative GDP. Lots of noise though with lockdowns, re-opening, exports from US crashing.

  4532. Italy has been screwed up since the Roman empire fell.

  4533. While people drink pretty heavily in Korea, drug use is way lower. Stuff all evens out as people deal with stress in different ways. Korea = less murders / drug overdoses, but more suicides

  4534. The biggest thing is... She made a zillion phone calls to secure the delegates. Went to Delaware to talk to campaign staff, Wisconsin and Indiana in a matter of 2-3 days. She's going to outwork Trump in this campaign.

  4542.  @PennaMinecraft  Most countries follow a reciprocity rule with visas. There is no visa free rules with US and China. My relative is Korean. Korean nationals do not need a visa to the US for a trip under 90 days.

  4545. Camera is pretty good. The problem is they don’t want the mics to be obvious. Likely, they are smaller and pick up a bit less.

  4549. The other channel is 10x better. This channel and China Insights used to put out the same quality. China insights stepped up their game. Even the topics that are a few days old or I think I know, they bring new information to the table. Recently, they've added good charts or easy visuals to explain things better. Edit: Don't want to be a dick, but the narrator is horrible. I feel like I dropped some acid and she sped up 3x speed. 5:14 Sometimes slow. Hyper fast in parts now. Sometimes, it feels like its the first time she's seen the script. Other times, I'm not even sure she understands what she's narrating.

  4550. If they live in any part of Seoul, that’s a long drive during daytime. Easily an hour. Dude should have called after he got off the plane instead of waiting until after customs / baggage.

  4551. Authoritarian governments don’t care about the people. Doesn’t have the same impact as in Western countries.
    2
  4552. It's called a proportional response. If it's a disproportionable response, it's going to kick off a major war in the Middle East. That's the calculation by the Iranians. As Admiral Fitzwallace said: "It's all there is."

  4554. The US would have been in another civil war if we went to Australia level lockdowns.

  4555.  @wheezyrider5937  The pandemic has revealed that we are a pretty stupid country. We've got a lot of geniuses, a good chunk of well educated and a large chunk of idiots. Oh yeah, and these idiots don't travel outside the US. And, they certainly don't read the news about other countries. They live in their own bubble. (I've met a few Aussies during a few trips around Asia. Always super friendly and good people.)
    2
  4556. IMO, it's going to be a tough life with (1) the mother raises the kid or (2) the kid goes to an orphanage. I think the program is overstating the choice that needs to be made. It's been 14 years since the baby box started. Would love to see some statistics ie grades etc on the kids that young mothers took back vs kids that went to orphanages. Basic stats from 2019: According to the church, 1,538 babies have arrived through the baby box and received protection since 2009. Among them, 161 went back to their birth parents. (That's a big enough sample size to draw "some" conclusions.)
    2
  4557. I only have time for NBA and MLB. Don't even watch football or any college sports anymore. No time for the WNBA either. But generally, it's because I don't care about their sexual orientation. It's basketball and I'm not googling who their partner is or isn't. By chance, I do know some of the biggest stars are gay: Sue Bird and Taurasi. I have no idea about the old school players like Lisa Leslie or Lobo.

  4558. I think gold is around $55M per ton. If it's all real gold and no one has stolen any, it's about $550 million worth of gold.

  4559. This is NFLX backed. They recouped nearly all their costs before airing from NFLX. NFLX saved the Korean TV industry after Korean shows were banned in China.

  4560. It's pretty obvious something was wrong since it docked in Guam out of schedule. Our enemies aren't dumb.

  4561. Wait, 2-3 lbs a day. That’s like eating an extra 5-6000 calories every day.
    2
  4562.  @rae7867  GOP made Obama cut the deficit down to under 600 billion. Trump squandered all the work on the deficit and pumped it back to 1 trillion (pre-covid). That deficit spending juiced Trump's economy by at nearly 1 point in GDP for 2 years. Growth would have been terrible without the deficits.
    2
  4563. Generally speaking, it should be done lightly in key industries. It's a systemic thing. Can't let the auto industry fail in '09. Also, it's a geopolitical thing. Can't let China take over any key industries (if possible). SpaceX and Tesla were both funded by the US government when they were floundering. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't.

  4568. It's all minorities that were killed with the exception of the security guard.
    2
  4569. Williams-Sonoma is an interesting brand. A lot of their merchandise was stuff you could buy online elsewhere. I think they had to start getting creative and creating exclusive lines / brands to differentiate themselves. Just steady growth for the past 10 years (pre-pandemic). Building a brand means nothing in China. The Chinese consumer doesn't care. They'd sell off their parents for a discount.
    2
  4570. Yikes, the real world "A Killer's Shopping List". I'm sure there are things slipping through the cracks on 3rd printing as well. Korea needs to drop the hammer on this and make the penalties extremely harsh.

  4571. They only thing I can think of in English is when people can screw up positive / negative words ie could vs couldn't. Pretty crazy that you can pronounce things that differently by accident and vaporize the meaning.

  4578.  @Tryp-j9d  You really don't want to hear the drug overdose death statistics. (They are 8x worse than drunk driving.)
    2
  4579.  @DMOWAIVERS  To be fair (statistically), some of those deaths are the drunk drivers. It's a valid argument on the drugs. YouTube comments probably isn't the most effective area to argue drug policy that is antiquated.

  4580. lol, this is going to trigger a certain grouping.

(inflation adjusted) The only way you get the price way lower is to produce a ton of them (amortize the R&D). The big difference is the contract structure: the Air Force is reshaping how it executes fighter contracts, separating design and production from long-term sustainment to force competition between firms, and perhaps most important of all, ensuring Uncle Sam owns at least a significant portion of the “data rights” or intellectual property associated with the new fighter and its design, rather than allowing a corporation to maintain a monopoly on the fighter going forward. They are trying to avoid the F35 mess. Sandboxx had the ratio at least 3-1 with plane vs drones.

I'm not making up numbers or opinions like you are (old article): Of the factory-cost estimate of $237.45 from IHS Markit at the time the iPhone 7 was released in late 2016, we calculate that all that’s earned in China is about $8.46, or 3.6 percent of the total. That includes a battery supplied by a Chinese company and the labor used for assembly. The other $228.99 goes elsewhere. The U.S. and Japan each take a roughly $68 cut, Taiwan gets about $48, and a little under $17 goes to South Korea. And we estimate that about $283 of gross profit from the retail price – about $649 for a 32GB model when the phone debuted – goes straight to Apple’s coffers. In short, China gets a lot of (low-paid) jobs, while the profits flow to other countries. There are tons of articles out there how iPhones artificially increase the trade deficit, but are overstated and fake. From 2014: In a note to clients, Bank of America Merrill Lynch economists Ting Lu and Marcella Chow write that iPhone 6 should boost China's export growth by 1% per month for the rest of 2014. Dude - stop asking me questions about your wild theories and start understanding the basics of what exports are.

They lost territory and it's been occupied by the Israelis ever since. And, that's where we are today. Israel needs security guarantees. The "leaders" of Palestine and some portion of the population wants to get rid of Israel off the map. Then, add in religious stuff and it gets even more crazy.

  4737. My family is like this. My parents are way to the left like Bernie to the left. My sister is pretty apolitical, but married someone that leans left. My brother is way to the right (Trump right). Me, I'm center left.
    2
  4738. Total misinterpretation of why people are paying attention if he's alive or dead. If he died, there could be a possible power vacuum which is pretty dangerous with a rogue nuclear nation.
    2
  4739. Let China fix the problem. Africa clearly doesn’t want the West involved anymore.
    2
  4740. I could see some older Korean taxi drivers doing the same. But, the government would crack down on it.
    2
  4741. You are an idiot. Time Warner is a public company and has SEC filings. It's largest shareholder is Vanguard through their slew of mutual funds. It's Institutionally owned at 83%. People are fucking stupid. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/TWX/holders?p=TWX
    2
  4742. To be fair, the bridge cost about $20B. But, who knows the final cost since it’s borrowed money + maintenance fees.
    2
  4743. Random of people...all in masks. Ok, this definitely isn't the US.
    2
  4744. 3:37 ok, let's be real. NO WAY is any ladder available that can support that dude's weight unless it's some special titanium

  4745. Reagan exploded the debt. It’s easy to run a government when you are fiscally irresponsible.
    2
  4746. lol, these idiots don’t think rules apply to them. Force laws on the common folk, but they think they are above the law.
    2
  4747. As an ethnic Korea growing up in the states, I'm glad BTS surpassed Psy as the breakout worldwide music star (more western, not Asia). I was like of all the Kpop, this is the song that had to explode?
    2
  4748. Parents learn as well. After us kids worked retail / restaurant jobs, my parents were generally more patient in those situations. They were pretty patient before though.
    2
  4749. Can't imagine growing up without siblings or a lot of cousins. My one uncle / aunt had 10+ kids (can't even remember the exact number). Some of my cousins were near 30 when I was a little kid.

  4750.  @elliotgillum  Gary Oldman gets gangrene, loses his whole "army" and his town revolts.
    2
  4751. Literally, thought this was 9 months old. Let’s be clear though: the US does not have many in stock. At most 2000 in inventory. More likely close to 1000. And, no way is the Pentagon going to give 100% of out stock away.
    2
  4752. It should always start with cash flow off rental payments. That should be the base. Maybe "some" premium based off potential appreciation.
    2
  4753. I have a solution for daycare. And, it's a bad one, lol.
    2
  4754. PLTR has a 60 PE. It will never make a lot of money. It will always have a limited customer base. Unless PLTR goes rogue, the US government will limit their client base.

  4759. Is the average Chinese person better off in 2022 than 2017 or 2012? Maybe 10% of the population.
    2
  4760.  @ingibingi2000  The funny thing is the right wing trolls attack TYT continuously. It's not even that popular (videos with large view counts).
    2
  4761. They can take the island, but at what cost? Looking at 5,000+ missiles. Tens maybe hundred of thousands in casualties. Do they really think the US will allow the chip Fabs to stay intact?
    2
  4762. You don’t have massive derivative betting on housing in China. Securitization, yes. But, the damage is not exponential. With that said, there is opaqueness like everything in China.
    2
  4763. No, it’s the end of the world. <sarcasm>
    2
  4764. The US is the most insulated economy on the planet. Food independent (kinda), Energy independent and the ability to absorb immigrants (if politics don't get in the way) to grow population.
    2
  4765. Oddly, the government is setup where POTUS can not do things a lone. A POTUS can destroy things pretty easily, but building things is much harder.
    2
  4766. Won't happen. KBS is basically a government owned channel. They subtitle all the shows on KBS world to promote Korean culture. JTBC is a private company. No incentive for them to subtitle stuff.
    2
  4767. The US would have easily forwarded a few million doses of Paxlovid if they asked. But, Xi has to save face. It's a shame. And, all of this will be swept under the rug with a "covid defeated" proclamation. Thousands if not hundred of thousands of lives could be saved.
    2
  4768. Will 1 be enough?
    2
  4769. Change in the US happens when a large mass of unaffected parties stand up for a smaller aggrieved group of people. This is not what’s happening here. A small minority is speaking out for themselves. Will need to get at least 20x bigger to make any difference (and will need to happen nationwide).
    2
  4770. It is interesting. You'd think that China would start putting military assets around the world ie Africa just for real time reps before invading Taiwan. Unless they plan on nuking Taiwan, the PLA will need to perform land ops.
    2
  4771. Anecdotally, it seems like Central Asians seem to adapt well to Korea.
    2
  4772. The son-in-law reminds me of my sister’s husband. Our family is super disfunctional and the dude somehow still married my sister.

  4773.  @sweetXroll  lol, legalized Adderall. I had to get my college roommates to hook me up back in the day. No need these days.
    2
  4774. Not to be blasé or insensitive, but these are the accidents that are more frequent. Smaller private planes.

  4777. The #1 airline hostess will get married. And fast.

  4778. Sorry about the cold war relations. Can we be friends again? - USA
    2
  4779. I'm agnostic these days, but that's one positive about "some" religions in America. Some of these "believers" think it's God's will to help out others. It's a very common theme in the people that have videos on YouTube about adopting internationally.
    2
  4780.  @DerekOfRivia  You are conflating foster care and adoption. Foster care is taking care of kids that are wards of the State. They get stipends / month. Adoption is different. They just get a tax break for adoption expenses (if they itemize).
    2
  4781. It's was...your mom.
    2
  4782. Bulwark getting too giddy. They are the ones supposed to be grounding the audience. Need more reticence, lol.
    2
  4783. Yeap, would have served a dual purpose if they implemented it in the early 2010s. Would have slowed down the bubble pricing + solidified the tax base. But, they would have been greedy and double dipped. Would have sold the land lease for high prices AND had a property tax. Adding a property tax now would be...suboptimal.
    2
  4784. My favorite restaurant was about 10 min walk from my flat. Was always crowded even on weeknights. Moved in ‘08 a few miles away. Have to admit selfishly that I enjoyed less wait time / less crowded restaurant in ‘09.
    2
  4785. Shouldn't you boycott YouTube? It's a US company.
    2
  4786. Sounds like Buddhism, hehe. Just cut back on your meat intake as a compromise.

  4787. Putin and Xi are just two bit thugs. Stealing resources from other countries.

  4788.  @andy70d35  Man, I hate when people correct people incorrectly. He had been a Captain since 2019. He started flying for the airline in 2014.
    2
  4789. Wait, someone launching drones from inside your own country seems a bit more troubling than aircraft getting through an air defense system.
    2
  4790. And Tiktok.

  4791. Cancer will be easier to conquer than open windows in Russia.
    2
  4792. Literally suppressing women and SCMP is talking about old Toyotas.
    2
  4793. Might be mistaken, but Korean dishes don’t have a lot of gluten. Soy sauce is probably the obvious one.
    2
  4794.  @dan1769  I'm Korean. We have a sauce that is pepper paste, garlic, water, vinegar and sesame oil. I mix it in a bowl and intentionally mix slowly and it splashes around. When I'm cleaning the kitchen, weird stuff is sometimes on the upper cabinets. Blood splatter isn't going to convince me in a panic life or death setting.
    2
  4795.  @MrGerdbrecht  Hmm, you must be European. I started working when I was 11. Had full time jobs in the summer all through high school and was working 2 jobs during the summer for most of college (not the latter half). I loved all my jobs when I was young. I got to meet new people from different parts of the city I would never meet in my US suburban town. Same with my waiting tables job post-college. Interacted with different people and always made a "game" out of it. I tried to be the most efficient waiter in the restaurant. And, it was a great change of pace from the office work. I've always regretted that I didn't work hard enough in those years. Going out and partying was overrated during that time period when I look back at it.
    2
  4796.  @solaris5922  Foster care in the US ends at age 18 (with some exceptions). Pretty standard stuff.
    2
  4797.  @flowrr5552  They are wards of the state. Go check where you live and see if your government houses able bodied adults under special "orphan" rules. This is standard operating procedure across the globe. When you turn an adult, you get a job and earn your keep instead of being a ward of the state. Btw, I'm not making this sh** up. I volunteered in orphanages in Korea and asked questions on how the process works.
    2
  4798. Yeah, that was a bit confusing. How is the woman a citizen and her kid isn't? Maybe some type of green card status. Dunno.
    2
  4799. It’s the food changes. During my first trip to Korea back in the day and my relatives fed me the same thing 3 times a day. Rice, soup, banchan and meat / fish.
    2
  4800. Well said. My parents never disparaged anyone even when we had annoying neighbors move in next door. They always preached fairness and treating anyone kindly.
    2
  4801. lol, basically Google Glasses then. That's the only thing I'd entertain. Just don't see the value add though in real life.
    2
  4802. Why? It will take several generations to reverse the brainwashing even in the younger generation of Chinese. As they said in the Matrix: That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.
    2
  4803. Did not realize that distributor is a publicly traded company and has some decent assets. I hope that dude sues them to oblivion. The dude filed a lawsuit in Oct '22. They wait 1.5 years to remove the movie.
    2
  4804. Dude - M2 doesn't mean "paper" money. Cash is part of it, but the bulk of M2 is bank deposits.

  4805. China broke the WTO. They’ve been subsidizing and dumping for decades. We are just punching back.

  4806. I have a backup backup laptop. It's a Macbook from 2012. It still works reasonably well.

  4807. Equal treatment of the law should not be determined on how nice you are to Mr Clean.
    2
  4808. Cancer treatments are extremely expensive. For example: SGEN treatment for lymphoma Adcetris May Cost $4,500 Per Vial, Or Over $100,000 For A Course Of Lymphoma Treatment Zero chance the CCP is paying for western medicines at that price.
    2
  4809. Just wait until they tell us the vaccine is only 60% effective and your antibodies from the virus only last 6 months. We are totally screwed.
    2
  4810. The number is big, but the donor size and first time is way more important. They might be able to raise 200M+ per month until the election.
    2
  4811. Also, the Pentagon thought we could win in Afghanistan. And, the Afghan military could continue after we left. Oh yeah, and it had no plan after we invaded Iraq.
    2
  4812. Same thing is happening with the Taliban.
    2
  4813. As an American of Korean ethnicity, I strongly disagree.

  4814. Oh yeah, I forgot. The dude has so many positive interactions with people, he wasn't prepared for this aggressive interaction. A couple of videos with Chinese girls: https://youtu.be/j8gXVOcKE50 https://youtu.be/QL3K6e9K63Q
    2
  4815.  @summerladner180  There are 3 main categories of drama distribution in Korea: 1- regular stations: KBS, MBC, SBS. KBS is basically government owned. It's going to be the least controversial. MBC is quasi-government owned. They stay pretty vanilla as well. SBS is privately owned. While relatively PG, the shows are highly commercialized ie lots of product placement 2- Cable channels: TvN and JTBC are the main ones: much more adult concepts with maybe more violence and language. But, never nudity. 3- NFLX only. All bets are off. Netflix will let the content creator do what they want 4- Famous recent films with nudity: the actress from Goblin was in a film with some nudity. The Housemaid is pretty famous. Both Kim Soo-hyun and Song Seung-heon were in "adult" themed films.

  4816. Why doesn't this show ever blame Hamas?

  4818. But, TikTok is incorrect.
    2
  4819. Obviously dude. CIA operatives have been involved from the beginning. Everything has been wiped clean.

  4820. Yeah, don't deal drugs in Asia. Penalties are up to death.

  4821. Only way that Putin holds off Wagner is if they send in heavy bombers on continuous sorties.
    2
  4822. Is smoking inside buildings legal in CT? Sure seems like she's going to get a fine.
    2
  4823. Same. I know June (older woman), but no clue who the younger two are. Or the purpose of the show. I am guessing it’s a “mentoring” show since it’s titled “Godfather”.
    2
  4824. @ I don't think you've studied how criminal justice systems work. Systems generally try to give non-violent offenders a clean second chance. If people can learn their lesson without going to jail, that's a positive. Society doesn't benefit by people going to jail.
    2
  4825. Thank god Korea came up with their writing system. Would be a hot mess like this.
    2
  4826. Watch Dong Yi and then Korean Odyssey. She looks identical even though it’s 8 years later.

  4827. China is about the size of the US. In the US, west had earthquakes. Midwest has tornados. East / South has hurricanes. Pretty common stuff.

  4828. I find it amusing that the prosecutor probably could have objected, but saw no need because the questions were that stupid.

  4832. Let’s say the “data” is accurate. A good professor would seek out a solution to remedy the low test scores. Maybe they have part-time jobs. Dunno, seems odd to pass judgement without a full picture of evidence.

  4833.  @parkerbohnn  Dude. Dude! That's literally part of the cash flow evaluation. You've never done any type of corporate finance work eh?
    2
  4834. lol, China doesn't realize that Koreans don't like them. Really don't like. According to Pew Research, in 2015, South Koreans were relatively positive about China, when only 37 percent of them held unfavorable views. Fast forward to 2022: When asked about general views of China, 81 percent of South Korean respondents expressed negative or very negative sentiments. That is (substantially) more than in any of the 56 countries surveyed worldwide as part of the Sinophone Borderlands project.

  4835. Unless math is different for ship commands, 360 degrees is a circle. The ship would be heading in the same direction again.

  4836. No sympathy. Chinese propogandists were "dunking" / "spiking the football" when we had a building collapse in Florida, USA.

  4837. Warriors would do it, but they are hard capped. Would need to dump salary into a 3rd team. So, very little chance.
    2
  4838. Voting matters. Going to be another close election in November.
    2
  4839. lol, ROYGBIV is going to get banned? Wait, is Hawaii going to get banned as well? The sports team was the Rainbow Warriors then went to Warriors and now back to Rainbow Warriors. Walk across your college campus daily and glance up and there is a rainbow in the surrounding hills. That's paradise. No one would want to ban rainbows after that.
    2
  4840. The Pentagon is notorious slow. I mean really slow. They should have been ramping up production of everything (shells / GMLRS) 6 months ago.

  4841. I lived there for over a year as an adult. Not a bad experience. Not the best. - ethnic Korean that grew up in the states.

  4842. Actually, logistically it’s better to send 1 type. That’s why the Leopard 2 makes sense. Many different countries in EU own them and can assist with maintenance and expertise.

  4843. The theories are getting dumb and dumber.

  4844. Have a feeling we'll find out decades from now that some of the US GOP Congress were turned Russian assets.

  4846.  @northuniverse  Lebanon was a rich and prosperous country before these goons came and invaded the country back in the '70s / 80s.
    2
  4847.  @northuniverse  The PLO and the Hezzies started all this nonsense in the '70s / '80s. Lebanon was a peaceful prosperous nation before those goons invaded. Millennials conveniently skip a ton of history.
    2
  4848.  @samanthajones4877  Literally, you have no reading comprehension. If the US is a consumer only, it's fine. But, we are producers as well. I'm spoonfeeding you like a baby and you still don't get it. And, let's add more real economics speak: The problem with trade isn’t trade itself—it is unbalanced trade, in which the supply created by a country’s exports isn’t matched by demand created by its imports. Unbalanced trade and competitive advantage don’t expand global production. It is balanced trade and comparative advantage that expand global production.
    2
  4849. They have to cover up the bad loans / assets. It's very dangerous because assets are overvalued and loans have been secured with those assets. Have no idea how much leverage is in the system, but this is exactly what happened in Japan. They can't write down the RE assets on the books or it creates an accounting nightmare.
    2
  4850. Fun Fact: they used to roll tobacco in barrels to transport it to the harbor and ship to Europe. Hence, the name "Rolling Road" in the Baltimore suburbs. The odd juxtaposition of Maryland. Kinda the South, but not really. Not really the North either. Hence all the battles from the Civil War.
    2
  4851.  @AgentJ2007  Ginger seems to be on the extreme level. 2 things happen in Korea: (1) most people don't have cars to commute to work ie they have to walk to public transportation. (2) The diets are mostly vegetable / soup based. While famous for meat restaurants in the states, people don't eat like that daily.
    2
  4852. Yes, but very few. I've seen adoptees with mixed families (1 white / 1 Asian). I think there are a few Asian families that are YouTube people that adopted more recently.

  4865. Just read the an article on this. Sounds like it was all made up. The resident never called him. This asshole did all the recon with his wife and just murdered the dude.
    2
  4866.  @youarewrong5523  Huh? Korea is licensing out the designs, so Poland can manufacture in country. It's likely why Poland signed the deal.
    2
  4867.  @ElderandOakFarm  Most cases will drop some of the charges. I'm guessing the DUI supersedes a misdemeanor drug possession. (not a comment on the criminal justice system, but saying how it normally goes.)
    2
  4868.  @johnstephenson74  It's a misdemeanor in California. Had to google Ohio and it's the lowest level of felony.

  4873. 3:00 this dude is now simping for China. Man, people get so blinded that rationality has gone out the window.

  4874. lol, zero chance banks have taken the proper write downs. It would blow up their balance sheets.
    2
  4875. Man, I understand why Dems lost so many elections. These type of ads are devastating.
    2
  4876. Why is there so huge shoplifting / stolen goods activity? Because these sites are fencing operations.

  4879. Sejeong looks like Jihyo from Twice.

  4880. I’m pretty liberal and think the no bail thing is stupid for repeat offenders. No bail should be case by case and not this blanket policy.

  4881. Pro tip: if you are in a crappy van, just give up. You aren't going to outrun or outmanuever the police.
    2
  4882. Times have changed. Around 2008, was in the room with the CEO, CFO and VP of Finance when I worked in a very liberal West Coast city. It was around the election and somehow it got into politics and the CEO (my boss) was surprised I was a Dem. CEO: conservative Mormon. VP of Finance: seemed kinda like an Alex Keaten (Family Ties) GOP. The CFO didn't say much, but I looked up his name on donations and he donated to Dems. But yeah, it wasn't anything contentious back then. Policy and a bit of social conservatism. Nothing hateful.

  4887. The old adage was free trade prevents wars. Obviously that was naive and that's why we are in this mess. Total misfire to think dictators will play by any sort of rules.

  4888. Honestly, they throw in a lot of random opinion / analysis that just isn't accurate. Stuff like ASML rebounding despite of China. It's way more nuanced.

  4899. Korean people are very direct and a bit judgemental. Some of my K-relatives are darker and I’m sure they get weird looks in Korea. Me, it’s the opposite - since I look Korean, but can’t speak it well. I got weird looks / strange faces made at me interacting with people when I lived there. It’s not discrimination, but a strong directness. But, kids make fun / bully in any country. Growing up in the states was challenging in an all white neighborhood.

  4904. There is some good information out there and remember, it was a Bloomberg article. Someone leaked the information (likely intentionally). A couple of good points I've read: 1- only deals with liquid propellant models which are likely small quantities 2- no determinant numbers on the silo lids either 3- somewhat plausible error made when testing the "leak proof" of missile. Filled with water and mistakenly marked with filled propellant.

  4906. China has bailed out their banks once a decade. In the US, it's been once every 20 years (S&L crisis in the '80s and 2008). Guess it's about time for another bank bailout for China sometime this decade.

  4909.  @0xyGen_2.p0  I cheated a bit. It's been an "argument" and they've been debating about it for centuries. But, on the pure merits of "grammar". (This is way before the modern "culture" debate.) Toward the end of the twentieth century, language authorities began to approve the form. The New Oxford Dictionary of English (1998) not only accepts singular they, they also use the form in their definitions. Former Chief Editor of the OED Robert Burchfield, in The New Fowler’s Dictionary of Modern English Usage (1996), dismisses objections to singular they as unsupported by the historical record. Burchfield observes that the construction is ‘passing unnoticed’ by speakers of standard English as well as by copy editors, and he concludes that this trend is ‘irreversible’.

  4911.  @brotherlynch6977  Yeah, we just didn't have the info in the past. Now, we can access grammarians for the past centuries in 1 minute searches. Language changes over time and right or wrong gets influenced by popular uses. The past usage focused on anonymity where recently is been associated with ambiguity. The biggest case for "they" as singular: journalism. Sometimes journalists don't want to give information about their source. So, they use "they" instead of repeating "the source" or "he/she".

  4940. Man, I get really nervous when people hold knives improperly when cutting. - Pinch grip is the most standard: using your thumb and first finger to grip the metal part of the knife (not the handle). Grabbing the handle provides no control or leverage. - The free hand should only expose your knuckles and not your fingers. Knuckles against the metal part of the blade and protect your fingers. - Seems counter intuitive, but dull knives are more prone to accidents. They'll tend to slip off and cut yourself where sharp knives will cut through the object.

  4941. Naw dude. We are a pretty stupid country.

  4943.  @skyecommander2169  There are loopholes state by state. But, there are "gun" countries in EU that make way more sense ie Switzerland. Oh yeah, we have more gun deaths per year than car deaths. And, everyone is required to have insurance. Firearm sales between private individuals who reside in the same state – that is, sales in the "secondary market" – are exempt from these requirements. For private sales, under federal law any unlicensed person may sell a firearm to an unlicensed resident of the same state as long as the seller does not know or have reasonable cause to believe that the purchaser is prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms under federal law.

  4949. The amusing part is housing is one of the biggest expenses in cost of living. It's the worst asset class to spike since it takes away spending power from people. China always had the internal trump card: a large population. They just needed to thread the needle of keeping wages low, but finding ways for people to have more discretionary / disposable income. The country needed skilled non-corrupt apolitical technocrats running the show. Someone more like Lee Kuan Yew.

  4951. The F-35 has an excellent performance / crash rate relative to other fighters. the worldwide F-35 fleet hit 811,000 flight hours in March of 2024.

The F-15 Eagle air superiority fighter racked up 6,692,386 flight hours between 1972 and 2018, and has a crash rate of 2.31 per 100,000 hours.

Then, I started taking risks and interacting with different people. It's never a perfect fit, but that's ok too. My first interaction with Koreans after high school was fobby ones from my Japanese class. We went out a few times and it was a disaster due to the language barrier.

But, US and Egypt are allies. 99% sure they will let American passports through. Egypt is moving to avert a mass exodus from the Gaza Strip into its Sinai Peninsula, as Israeli bombardment halted crossings at the main exit point from the Palestinian enclave on Tuesday, Gaza officials and Egyptian security sources said.

  4985. I think we can all look back and say 15-16 is when there is no traumatization for dudes. I explicitly remember having a crush and talking on the phone with a female in their mid-20s when I was that age. I was halfway finished 11th grade when I turned 16. (obviously, not applicable for everyone.)

  4986. Tell me you know nothing about Korea while saying you know nothing about Korea. Korea is importing labor into the country. Literally, replacing people with immigrants.

  4988. It's pretty clear that it's a stalemate. So, it comes down to Russia trying to string it out until support in the EU lowers. Macron is termed out and the right is gaining. Scholz is worrying about his right flank and is pretty weak. UA lost some of it's most valuable industrial land and is struggling for manpower. (not even going to mention the US '24 election)
    2
  4989.  @DivXDemonRik  UA has 1 maybe 2 years to do something. The US needs to pivot to Asia. Going to need those Patriot batteries for Okinawa / Japanese outer islands and the Philippines. The US industrial base is playing a bad game of catchup. It's taking 2+ years to double 155mm production from 14K to 30K and another 1+ years to get to 100K (monthly). It's embarrassing and worrisome. I empathize with UA, but reality is reality. Taiwan has more value to the US and the globe. And, US military personnel will be directly involved.
    2
  4990.  @jim2376  Kyiv is the political center of UA. It has no real wealth other than it's people and culture. The highest concentration of minerals are on the Eastern side of UA. This has always been a resource grab for Russia.

  5003.  @warrenayres200  I don't want to jinx it, but many smart people are looking at PA. The mail in ballots are breaking Biden (as expected). There are 763,311 ballots left to count which are mail in. Just needs 65% of the votes to be Biden which is inline with mail in splits. Edit: 2000 was much closer. Less than 500 votes in FL.

  5006.  @JunTakumi7963  All races have assholes, but generally speaking LA / SF have multi-generations of Asians. And, its not 99% Asian. Personally, I've never come across discrimination in SF ever. No weird looks, people staring or uncomfortable situations.
    2
  5007.  @jsiszero  Dude - that's not really relevant to the conversation about being Asian and getting random "odd" comments that insinuate that we aren't American. SF votes 85%+ Democrat every election. That's not the "minority" that we are discussing.

  5012. As teen males, we always thought about hooking up with older women. They literally made a movie about this, Weird Science. I worked 2 summers at "unnamed" job. Somehow I was the most responsible one there even though there was older people. I was 15 or 16. There was older girl / woman in her mid-20s? that worked with us and she used to lean against me with her boobs (no idea if it was intentional or unintentional). On our breaks, she taught me how to play gin-rummy. I called her a few times on our "landlines" and but was rational enough to realize I had no chance with her. It's a fun "teen" memory. I would have let her boink me in a second. I'll concede the power dynamic part in school. Especially with someone getting counseling.

  5013. TX ain’t turning blue in a statewide office.
    2
  5014. It depends. I think when people say "tax cuts", no one talks about what actually happens. The company / person makes more profit. Doesn't impact an EBITA number, but cash flow. I was responsible for more above the line stuff (EBITA). Didn't deal with accounting stuff, but lower taxes does make a difference in future spending decisions.
    2
  5015.  @Israel-nb7ip  I'm not arguing the validity of the 2017 tax cuts. Made no sense in giving a tax cut to Apple. A progressive tax cut would have been more effective. Regarding CPI, this is the reality of capitalism. Companies are going to protect their profit margins.

Brazil's real hits record low as markets eye govt spending The cost of insuring exposure to the country's bond debt was at a 14-month high, with investors anxious as Latin America's largest economy faces a deepening financial market crisis.
    2
  5020.  @carlosjuniorfox  I literally gave you the info on bond insurance. That's hard data. People are paying hard cash for that insurance. Japan has only has 6% foreign investors on their debt. The US is the largest economy in the world by a wide margin and never defaulted on debt. Brazil has defaulted on debt multiple times. While I don't think Brazil is even close to a default, investors are ticking up their concerns.

  5023.  @idrathernot_2  Roch - they are end users and not a bank. They can't create a crisis. They are invested in a wide range of investments all across the world. If they went under, its saying the whole world is going under. edit: Just looked it up. Roughly 1/3 of their AUM (asset under management) is their iShares business which are ETFs. I remember when Blackrock bought the ETF business from Barclays. I worked in the same general area of (one of) their home office. Historically, It's one of the best acquisitions in the financial world ever.

  5037. I always had a casual liking to astronomy. My Dad was well educated and had a lot of academic interests: basically he read a lot. After he retired, I spent a decent amount of money for Father’s Day for an advanced telescope. Amusingly, it was so big he had to return it because he couldn’t lug it outside and mount it easily. He got a smaller size instead.

  5038. Would be a simple answer, but the defense choose not to hand over all the financial statements. If he wasn't making a profit, they would gladly turn the documents over. You acolytes have poor critical thinking skills.
    2
  5039. World War Z (the book) as well. But, it’s because these books / movies are basing it off history and research.
    2
  5040. The US spends more on arena / stadium construction annually than entire GDPs of some of the smaller island countries.
    2
  5041. Yeah, no good solutions. Only less bad ones. Can’t have murders defect to ROK.
    2
  5042. Basically, this is Mayor Pete's job for the next 3 months. Be on TV 24-7 and be a surrogate.
    2
  5043. I can't pronounce "Hanguel" properly. I never will be able to. When I speak, I sound like Jessi. Butchered Korean with an American accent.

  5045. lol, even his doctors suck. They couldn't even get the press release right.

  5046.  @longfellow5276  You are literally using a website that was created in America. And, we've developed all the major tech in your computer / phone. And, we created the internet.
    2
  5047. I'm sorry. You can't fix stupid. Don't waste our diplomatic resources and let him live his life in North Korea. This is the equivalent of importing drugs into Thailand or other SE Asian countries, but worse.
    2
  5048. The war crimes was stealing kids approved by the Kremlin. At least get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.
    2
  5049. This channel is connected / owned by Yonhap news which is basically a wire service. Similar to the AP or Reuters.
    2
  5050. Yeah, because "western cultures" are welcoming as well. NOT. I grew up exactly like these girls in the states as an Asian.
    2
  5051. The problem isn’t the missing children. The issue is the possible state sponsored organ theft and China has a massive surveillance program that can easily track people. If kids aren’t getting found these days, they are intentionally not getting found.
    2
  5052. It’s a business expense for the restaurants. Won’t get back the cost, but the rest will be written off as a marketing expense.
    2
  5053. lol, $400B USD in bonds ain't going to do it. I've always said that a package needs to be 10% of GDP + aggressive monetary policy. That's around 2-3% of GDP.
    2
  5054. The Korean government will support any popular Kpop group through the Cultural ministry. They don’t get straight financial support, but KBS is a public channel + they will grease the wheels internationally if needed. All countries should do this. International income is incremental money for the SK economy which then supports more jobs. Also, music, film and TV are excellent uses of soft power. This is a strategic method learned from the US.

  5056. What the f' is going on? The Taliban? lol

    2
  5058. Crazy how people can remember exact details from 20 years ago.

  5059. Bad headline: He didn't drop out. The GOP voted behind close doors and booted his nomination.
    2
  5060.  @Ramirez83786  lol, this fool is saying an airburst bomb has the capability of destroying a radius of only 10m on the ground. It's mathematically impossible. JFC. You failed geometry class. THERE ARE CARS UNDAMAGED 10M AWAY FROM THE IMPACT "CRATER".

  5061. If anyone can convince someone, it's Mayor Pete. lol, looks like he will do it 5 votes at a time.

  5062. Where is she getting all this money? On a darker note, I went out with my Korean relative drinking and woke up in a motel. No recollection on how I got there and my wallet was gone :(
    2
  5063. Naw, the Catholic church has been so strict with their doctrine (that isn't practical), so people started to ignore their arcane rules. The Vatican is against condoms!
    2
  5064. 13:50 30 years later and everything still looks like 1980s robots from films like "Short Circuit".
    2
  5065. This is nonsense without any disclaimers. If you are lazy and don’t study and get bad grades, there is no excuse. If you are putting in your best effort and get lower grades, it’s a different story. Regardless, anyone getting lower grades should evaluate the “why” and figure out a better plan. People don’t know how to problem solve anymore.
    2
  5066.  @nainn9873  Hey, non-Korean. Don't talk about things you have zero knowledge about. Samsung, Hyundai, LG, SK, Hanwa, Lotte, Hanjin are true chaebols. Ottogi is a medium sized business in Korea.
    2
  5067. Ok genius. What’s your solution?
    2
  5068. If you subtract out the increase in deficit spending, Trump had 1-2% GDP growth. You must be 20 and missed the Clinton years (and Ronnie).
    2
  5069. Good training op for pilots / crew.
    2
  5070. Western militaries should get a nod as well. Ukrainian military was using Soviet top down doctrine and now they are much more decentralized.
    2
  5071. Bad internet research says that Sunny supported the parole.
    2
  5072. Sure seems like our politics are closer than we think as a country. Seems like the loud extremes (mostly the right extreme) and having to fit into box 1 or box 2 make us feel more separated. I'm center left and hear a lot of things on these shows that I agree with. 5:50 I'm not even that aggressive and don't feel "deeply distrustful". I just believe there need to be some guardrails and the arguments should be about how much and instead of zero vs some. Also, I think the middle class has taken too small piece of the wealth pie since '70s (I don't know the solution).
    2
  5073. 1M people live on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. 1500km^2 or about the size of Grand Canary Island. Never felt cramped when I lived there.
    2
  5074. Focus group people are so weird. They talk about how politics sucks and everything is negative... when they are basically negative and complaining. If politics were about issues, HRC would have won. Won't ever be able to please these people.
    2
  5075. Rome was a great empire. And started rotting from within. We are witnessing America’s decline.
    2
  5076. Nothing like getting the nerdy hyper detail oriented detectives to poke holes in your timelines.
    2
  5077. The pre-sale of homes in China adds an extra layer of possible corruption.
    2
  5078. Reasonable and fair assessment. Although in the past, these people would be considered moderates / centrists. Goal posts have swung a lot in 20 years.
    2
  5079. Sorry, just a bit a inappropriate humor: I googled David Tafuri. This is one of top things that came up: "Does David Tafuri wear a wig?"
    2
  5080. Haha, "military base" in Germany... Edelweiss Lodge and Resort is a U.S. Department of Defense owned recreation hotel in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. Located in the Bavarian Alps near the Austrian border, the facility opened in September 2004 at a cost of $80 million.
    2
  5081. State Police or FBI should be involved. Small town police department can’t handle this.
    2
  5082. Didn’t the CCP say to not travel for the holiday?

  5083. Bragging about starting a civil war sounds a lot like sedition to me.

  5084. My god. Look at her...posture. Don’t think I could sit that straight even if I focused on it.

  5085. Jake Sullivan has one of the most stressful jobs in the world. Dude is just so over weird nonsense from the right.

  5086. Tactically the cluster munitions only give UA a slight advantage. The biggest impact is quantities. We have a lot of them. Way more available than standard 155mm shells.
    2
  5087. Ain't going to be the same scenario. China will be attacking US military aircraft. Real time intel is going to be much more difficult. In Ukraine, we are flying 24-7 sorties (man and unmanned) pretty much impeded.
    2
  5088. She’s toast. She’ll be lucky to get 10 years. Feels like 15+ years.
    2
  5089. @William Santos It's called you eliminate low tech jobs and funnel people into the higher paying jobs. It's a win-win for the Korean people. The industrial conglomerates can keep focusing on business outside of Korea.
    2
  5090. @William Santos If the domestic only GDP falls by less than the population decline, it’s more per capita. (though GDP / capita doesn’t equal wages / wealth per capita and doesn’t represent a median either) Crudely, each person gains more wealth. Instead of a million taxi drivers, you have to robo taxis. Already, restaurants are using robots in Korea. So, there are less of the same vendors selling the same fish cake. But, each individual vendor makes more money. Real Estate takes a hit, but it’s already out of reach for many individuals. Would make it affordable for kids to live on their own.
    2
  5091. Can’t forecast babies. Can’t forecast genders. Can’t forecast college graduates. Can’t forecast housing units. Feels like the “planning” part of the planned economy is missing. Everyone just YOLOing it. Seriously wonder what the massive amount of government officials actually do. Drink tea all day?
    2
  5092. I think people are gearing up for the possible JWST discoveries.
    2
  5093. They should have elected me as President instead of Xi. My lowly BA in Finance would have saved the Chinese economy for the long term. (But, I would have privatized the heck out of everything, lol.)
    2
  5094. The "funny" thing is the US ambassador to Korea got stabbed in 2015. He said he still loved Korea and it was a safe place and it was an aberration. Korean government took some heat about security, but didn't avoid the topic.
    2
  5095.  @plebius  Let's use some common sense and read between the lines as the 41st POTUS was the ex-CIA director: We were disappointed that Saddam's defeat did not break his hold on power, as many of our Arab allies had predicted and we had come to expect. President Bush repeatedly declared that the fate of Saddam Hussein was up to the Iraqi people. Occasionally, he indicated that removal of Saddam would be welcome, but for very practical reasons there was never a promise to aid an uprising. While we hoped that popular revolt or coup would topple Saddam, neither the U.S. nor the countries of the region wished to see the breakup of the Iraqi state. We were concerned about the long-term balance of power at the head of the Gulf.
    2
  5096. Korean laws aren't just about location. If you are a Korean citizen, you are banned from certain activities even overseas. (That's why I'll never get Korean citizenship even though I'm eligible.)
    2
  5097.  @grampajim1595  Your social credit score gets dinged. Your kids can't go to a good school, can't travel on high speed trains, can't fly. You still have to pay the debt off. Always remember: the rules are setup to protect the CCP and state businesses. Not the individual.
    2
  5098. Far right groups regardless of country are always dangerous. Korea has far right nutcases as well. (I'm not both siding it. Just stating facts.)
    2
  5099. My mind wandered a bit while listening to this. And, for a second thought this was about Elon. Dude is the exact same way.
    2
  5100. lol, even dogs have cliques and outcasts.
    2
  5101. Clean cut / normal drivers don't get pulled over. But, these drivers aren't drug dealers and / or mules either.
    2
  5102. Yeap, we are crippling a near-peer adversary for the next decade+ with no American boots on the ground for 0.2% of GDP. This would be a cold war dream scenario. Both are worth the investment. We were spending 4.5-5.5% of GDP on defense spending post-Vietnam. It's around 3% now even with Ukraine funding.
    2
  5103. Wow, the city whose foundation and success was built on western liberal democratic values has went to sh** after the CCP broke the 1 country 2 systems pledge? Geez, what a surprise? Btw, all the stock market stuff is silly. The HK index is just a proxy for China. Really has nothing to do with HK.
    2
  5104.  @deftones8717  lol, a lot. They measure it in metric tons. China is tops around 400 eggs per capita per year (using weight assumptions). That's 560 billion eggs.
    2
  5105. Dunno, I'm skeptical on the size and time period. There are private satellite companies that take pictures of everything. Nothing in the news about it. If the fires were huge, there would be satellite pictures.
    2
  5106. I’d say this is embarrassing, but we had people storm the Capitol with all our elected officials inside (at the behest of the sitting President).
    2
  5107. We never had any lockdowns. Australia, India, China had real lockdowns.
    2
  5108. Sheer math of a big number. Still 50M+ rich mainlanders. Always will have the upper 5-10% be ok regardless of any economic situation.

  5111. Dude - stop. The guy isn’t a public company. There is no “earnings” here. lol, did he sell bonds to cover his losses? Or he did an equity raise?
    2
  5112.  @kingofpopbts2080  There was a pretty popular Korean film that had the Gwangju Uprising as the backdrop of the movie, A Taxi Driver. Can you imagine 6/4 at TS being the backdrop of a Chinese film?
    2
  5113. Dan Quayle was a DEI hire. So was Dick Cheney. And, Biden as VP. Bush Sr was thought of as old, so they needed a young guy. Bush Jr was thought as young and dumb, so they needed an old experienced guy. And, Obama was the young black guy, so they needed a old white dude.

  5116. The most Asian names you could give some pets. Ugh, hate to be that person, but it's pronounced "lai-chee". I only know this because my old boss during my college job had a lychee tree in his yard.

  5117. Drugs. Lots of drugs. Done.

  5118. The Milky Way is 100k-200k light years in size. 650 light years seems pretty close.
    2
  5119.  @jasonblack4208  And, I thought about it more. It's an East Coast bias thing. I know way more about Europe WW2 than the Pacific. And, the bias is even in college. Took a Western Civilization class in college and transferred to a West Coast school. They didn't transfer my credit. I had to re-take the class as World Civilization. (And, I've probably visited Gettysburg / Antietam like a half a dozen times. Back then, I probably could draw Civil War battle maps.)

  5120. Nothing can replicate dropping in on a large wave face
    2
  5121. Set aside the "fairness" aspect domestically and who gets waivers. There does seem to be a weird soft power benefit of having the international celebrities serving in the military. Highlights the dangers from North Korea. While a bit superficial, it does cement support for ROK if the North did some type of attack. Arguably, Korea's semi manufacturing and memory chips are more important, but that's too dry of a subject.

  5122. All you had to do was trust Uncle Warren in the 1960s / 70s and you were set for eternity. The stock price was $39. It's 542,414 today.

  5123. 5.8% for production and yeah, you can't round up that to 10%. Looks like even less of a percent using reserves.

  5131.  @willielim3269  Dude - She's a member of Congress. She has no extraordinary powers except minor Congressional rules. Pompeo was a member of Congress, CIA director and Secretary of State.

  5136. Cuauhtemoc The president had 1 shot at getting something big + controversial passed and he bet on healthcare.  Unfortunately, that's how politics works. Dream act almost passed, but blocked by republicans.  Republicans want no part of hispanic immigrants, so you are barking up the wrong tree.  Obama / Dem policies tend to help people of working class backgrounds which includes the hispanic community. Where are you getting that data on more muslims starting to migrate to the US?  Hmm, let me guess -- Fox news?

  5138.  @jeb284  There is a visa program, but it's not unlimited. Was for 3rd generation, but I think they extended it to 4th. No automatic citizenship. (Korean adoptees get automatic dual citizenship if they choose.)

  5139. umm, she definitely aged since her My Sassy Girl days. It’s inevitable. I think it’s a bit worse for her because she was so striking and pretty, the aging can become a bit more obvious. The cute-pretty girls seem to age better.

  5140. Yep, it's a free country. It's just a horrible representation of a Korean "sandwich".

  5142. I never thought Hyuna was attractive. Even in Gangnam style, I was like ugh.

  5143. Politics is a hard game especially if you have forces going into opposite ways. The GOP has no incentive to provide health care for all of Americans. Health care is an economic issue which is in the breadbox of every American. If Americans don't have worry about health insurance coverage by employers, it gives them the freedom to take risks in their career.
    1
  5144. hfontanez98 Actually, RFK is very relevant. After seeing extreme poverty in the south, RFK was very moved by it and made it a large conversation for his family. This is a good documentary about his family: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethel_(film) I'm only a few years younger than you and I started working when I was 11 (newspaper route making $80 / month). And yes, my ideas about empathy are very broad.
    1
  5145. Joseph Coleman My point was you can be hardworking your whole life and still be empathic to the challenges of the less fortunate. lol, how about shoveling snow or mowing neighbors lawns? Wash dishes for minimum wage: I did that through high school.

  5164. 4500 US service people died because of the invasion of Iraq (and the numbers including contractors would made it higher). That doesn't include the thousands of injuries including PTSD. All for a f-ing bullshit war. Guess again buddy.

  5200.  @hyunjin8450  Politely, its a comment board. I think people should be able to compare anyone with anyone. I grew up in the states and we believe in free speech. Regardless, Youtube is a private company that doesn't adhere to free speech principles. But, comparing people doesn't break their TOS rules. Secondly, the original comment was a comparison. Please direct your "unfair" criticism at the correct person.
    1
  5201. Hey! Not to be rude, but do you have trouble with reading comprehension? Yoona was in a drama that got over 20% ratings. And she got awards for best new actress. These are facts. None of Twice members are actors. This is a fact. This is a major difference that makes comparisons invalid. There isn’t any precedent for an idol getting a lead role in highly rated drama less than 1 year after debut. Suzy is probably the closest. Regardless, the business is different now. The reality shows boost their name recognition and groups have to grind a bit less in he beginning. P.S. Don’t defend an opinion / position because you think you are right. Geez, listen to what others say.

  5202.  @hyunjin8450  Why are you dying on this hill? ** If person "A" is a singer / actress and person "B" is a singer. It makes no sense to compare person "B" to person "A" regardless person "B" intentions ** Let's say, I work and I made a million dollars. Let's say, you are a student and have no income. Just because you say you can be a millionaire with a job doesn't mean its going to happen ** Just because something is made up and in your head doesn't mean its true. Do you understand??? We have to deal with concrete facts, not people's words and ideas. Not be harsh, but this is the real world! You can't go to your boss and be like, hey - I thought about finishing my work yesterday, but didn't do it. Isn't it the same. (honestly, I don't know how much clearer I can make this point. No need to beat a dead horse.)
    1
  5203.  @hyunjin8450  Wow, you would be a horrible lawyer since you are conflating things. With regards to Yoona: It's a "inaccurate" comparison vs any Twice members Comments, Comparisons, "free speech" in general on Youtube: Anything is fair game as long as they don't violate TOS rules There is a difference between any person being able to comment on various topics vs ACCURATE comments. Geez, do you really think you can use weird word plays to build a logical argument?

  5266. Translation: we have a shitload. The 2005 report: The report details a stockpile of 5.5 million cluster munitions containing about 728.5 million submunitions.10 This figure, however, does not appear to be a full accounting of cluster munitions available to U.S. forces. In particular, the tally does not include cluster munitions that are part of the War Reserve Stocks for Allies (WRSA). Cluster munitions are particularly ubiquitous in the stores of U.S. ground forces. According to the DoD report, the Army has about 638.3 million cluster submunitions (88 percent of the total inventory) and the Marine Corps has about 53.3 million (7 percent). The report states, “Cannon and rocket artillery cluster munitions comprise over 80% of Army fire support capability,”13 and they “comprise the bulk of the Marine Corps artillery munitions.”

  5283.  @veganpower3  Dude - it's literally been researched. Dogmatic people don't listen to listen to hard data. Edit: btw, the biggest correlation...age of the father which has zero to do with vaccines. The first rigorous study of this type, published in 2006, drew on medical records of 132,000 Israeli adolescents. It showed that men in their 30s are 1.6 times as likely to have a child with autism as men under 30; men in their 40s have a sixfold increase. Since then, scientists have conducted similar analyses of data on children born in California, Denmark and Sweden, as well as of an international dataset on 5.7 million children. Nearly all of this research has shown an increased prevalence of autism among the children of older fathers. (That's a pretty big data set.)

  5322.  @0xyGen_2.p0  Tell me you nothing about Netflix's business without saying you know nothing about Netflix's business (you literally read a few blurbs about password crackdown). Literally, NFLX continues to be cash flow positive even after the pandemic boom. Any blips up and down on subscriber count will have zero impact on Korean dramas. Korean drama cost is amortized across all countries since it has global appeal. Basically, NFLX is spending most of their Korean subscriber revenue on content, but obviously other countries watch it. They are getting a great ROI on Korean dramas. And, it doesn't matter if NFLX trims some. Add in Disney+, Amazon Prime, Apple and the amount of dollar spend + willingness to push higher on per episode is multiples higher than 2016-17.

Amusingly, the girl in the passenger seat who was physically uninjured went into shock because I looked bad and was bleeding everywhere. Mentally, I was fine. Proceeded to take off my white shorts in the middle of the road because I didn't want blood to drip on them, lol.

  5359. WTF dude. It's the exact opposite of everything you said. A shitty Chinese economy helps tamp down inflation because they aren't buying commodities. The US is near full employment. We don't have enough workers and it's pushing wages higher.

  5381.  @christiekang4878  Eating out is the worst way to control your diet with ingredients: making it at home, you can control the sodium levels. Seaweed soup and radish soup have fish sauce which you can moderate. Bean sprout soup only has a small amount of salt. Kimchi is the impossible one to avoid that has high sodium. But, there are other side dishes (radish / cucumber) that you can use without salt that are more vinegar based (they keep longer in the fridge as well). Edit: and there are ways to avoid the sodium. I rarely drink all the broth / juice in soups and stews.

  5403. I am ok with this idea, but every single person would need to do the same amount of time. Male and female. And, you would need to create special non-military programs because people would be rejected out of fitness / other reasons. That’s why it would never happen. And, then you aren’t going to pay people? In Korea, people get a stipend per month. Pretty sure countries moved away from it because roles are very specialized and need a lot of training.

They randomly ask to eat dinner with people, but they were in a wealthier foreigner neighborhood in Seoul (Itaewon). Ended up at the house of the CEO who does the cable car projects in Korea.

  5409. Dunno about the American PC definition. The most practical use of the word is not saying "retard" and instead saying "mental disability". Really nothing to do with politics directly. And, then you do get people saying its gone too far vs people thinking it should be a bible. Politically correctness (right or wrong) is about not offending people vs people that just don't care and won't change their ways. I see no correlation to the Xi definition. (Personally, I'm in the middle most of the time, but there is so dumb shit we said growing up that I didn't understand.)

  5462.  @providentpathfinders219  Settle down dude. If you read their "goals", they are looking for a 30% cost savings. That's impactful, but not mind blowing. Don't get me wrong, we need more supply, competition and speed to market if something happens. I will root for their success.

The High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) supplied to Ukraine by the US has been “completely ineffective” on the battlefield due to persistent Russian jamming. This is according to a classified Ukrainian weapons assessment seen by The Washington Post, exposing more flaws in some of America’s most sophisticated weapon systems.

    1
  5468.  @kristinesharp6286  I highly doubt that any organization (charity or private) is not taking the government stipend per kid. Everything you mentioned above is applicable to a smaller home as well. Just way less efficiency of resources. If orphanages in Korea are closing, it's because of less kids, not because of old people. Zero chance you can convert the buildings to a retirement home without a boatload of cash. Korea's orphanages are a combination of foster care (kids with parents) and orphanages (kids without parents).

Also, the US has checks and balances: Executive branch, Legislative brand and Judicial branch. AND, the biggest one is the freedom of the press. Pragmatic = killing birds and babies An authoritarian government is about power not the citizens.
    1

Honestly, I don't see how some of you people survive in a real workplace with half rate analysis / suggestions like that. And according to Live Science, when averaging out fatalities for flight time, the numbers suggest that stepping on a private aircraft is almost 20 times more dangerous than getting behind the wheel of a car.

Of course prices are going to be slightly higher than the bigger chain, but if you don't send some of your business there, it will be gone forever. I moved away for college and I think my parents said that a CVS moved across the street from the old pharmacy. Can't imagine it survived.

The funny part is the rental price of the same condo was always at least half the price of a mortgage. Sometimes even more of a discount. It was always wacked out. No one in the western world would buy any property if the cash flow wasn't positive or at least neutral ie rent covers mortgage payments. It's a dumb bet. (It's a silly plan though. They are trying for a slow bleed rather than a crash.)

  5682.  @Chaos3183  Yeah, I'm not sure where your parents were shopping. We ate frozen or canned vegetables for 4+ months out of the year in the winter. Fresh produce out of season was way too expensive for us. Spring / Summer / early fall was a different story. My mom would make weird salads for dinner. Not so weird now, but I thought they were back then. Politely, you are speaking verbosely without saying much. Again, I stick with my original thesis. We ate less food back then. We didn't eat fast food. But, I ate a lot of 7-11 hot dogs with bad chili and cheese. We had a Hardees in our suburb and then a McDs that was pretty close by. That's it, but my parents never took us there. But, the meals at home weren't so uber organic vegetable packed diets: it was meat, milk, carbs and limited vegetables / fruit. We all grew up healthy and fine because of portion control not that food was super healthy back then. And, you are talking to a person that loved raw vegetables and hated cooked ones. I had nothing to do as one of the younger cousins, so I would just eat all the raw vegetables at family gatherings (with dip though).

  5683.  @Chaos3183  Little bit of advice (which you will ignore): clear communication is for the other person (listener), not yourself. Typing or speaking to hear yourself talk is a bit "odd". Btw, just because I gave my Mom as an example, that's how we all ate: my friends and relatives.

  5692.  @michaelccozens  You need to do some research on TARP. Wasn't a fan of banks getting money, so they could pay for "bets" against the CDOs. But, you have to take the bad with the good. Keeping banks afloat was critical not just now, but for the future. Part of the reason we are going through energy price spikes is that we didn't keep small refiners and drillers afloat during the pandemic. Lots of bankruptcies. Now, we are f'd because we have less refiners and a few companies controlling the market.

  5694.  @MMG-q1v  Generally, It's relative to our job market / employment levels. If the US is at 10% unemployment, immigration ain't great. If unemployment is around 4-5%, immigration will always be a net positive on GDP. (there are a lot of other things I won't explain because this is a comment section and not a economics class.)
    1
  5695.  @MMG-q1v  The anti-immigration zealots will be able to find scenarios when immigration is a net negative. Let's say you assigned probabilities of GDP growth, unemployment rate, net immigration, immigration quality of workers etc. All the realistic scenarios and probable scenarios will always be positive. I'll give a dumb example: Let's say 100 million Chinese people flooded the US looking for work. Well, that would be a net negative, lol.

  5696.  jaumartinez9006  Oddly, the old Reagan business wing of the GOP knew this. The right has gotten so radical, they can't admit it anymore. There were penalties for businesses hiring undocumented workers in the Reagan amnesty package in 1986. And, guess what? It was quietly weakened from final bill / law.

  5704. Biden admin did drop the ball on inflation. The biggest "weapon" they had was the bully pulpit. Personally, I thought they should have attacked it with a frontal attack. Have a weekly press conference on prices and focus on one specific region of the country each week. Explained to the public how much prices have changed. Why they think prices are going up. And, let people know where there might be cheaper prices or suggestions on downshifting their purchases to a different brand etc. Then, talk how the admin is ensuring more supply (competitors) in the marketplace and avoiding monopolies for the long term. And, talk about any short term actions the government can reasonably take in a capitalistic system.

  5729. Was a pretty smart kid like her. Not AP level, but a step below. Got in trouble in high school as a few things snowballed (nothing that serious). 1- Had a part time job washing dishes in a restaurant. The dick that I was working decided to steal beer from the walk in. Was annoyed, but didn't say anything. He ended up getting caught and I got fired. 2- Didn't tell my parents and ended up going to a basketball game, but told my parents I was working. Parents called the restaurant and I got busted. 3- Was grounded and couldn't leave the house. Snuck out and went to my friend's house. Got busted and grounded again 4- Parents said I was going to get a drug test. And, if I turned out positive, I was going to rehab. (I think they found out I experimented with LSD and I was in counseling. Honestly, don't remember clearly the order.) 5- I said, "f it" and ran away from home. Went to my brother's place which was 8+ hours away, but he was deployed somewhere else. Stayed with his roommate who eventually drove me back to my hometown and I ended up staying with my friend and his family. I totally understand being cornered, having shitty logic and coming up with a "plan". BUT NO WAY DID IT EVER CROSS MY MIND TO KILL MY PARENTS.

That's the same approach with quitting smoking. You have to just enjoy that your body feels weird and be ok with it. Basically, lean into the withdraw symptoms instead of trying to avoid them.

No. In Western societies, we have jointly decided that its a symbol of hate. While some EU countries have banned the Nazi flag, you can still buy one in the US and get Nazi tattoos. Still, that doesn't mean people shouldn't stand against what those symbols of hate mean. (And the swastika was appropriated by the Nazis. It's still being used in Asia today.)

(using the bad data above) If a Russian person goes into a bank and wants dollars, they have to give 400 rubles and they will receive 1 dollar. If a Russian person wants rubles and gives 1 dollar, they only get 50 rubles. It's called the buy-sell spread (or bid-ask).

  5910.  @ck-bs2ms  Yeah, dude. It's math. The Hoover dam was built in the 1930s. The national highway system was established in the 1950s. You are unfamiliar with the American industrial revolution, popularization of the US automobile industry and expansion of the railway system. All this happened in late 1800s into the early 1900s. A lot of the US infrastructure is old(er) and needs to be replaced soon.

  5948. I was like that tire and rope thing ain’t gonna work. Elephant was pretty smart.

  5949. That's not how the stock market works. For example: if an individual stock price falls, it means there are more sellers than buyers and the market maker has to lower the bid price. It will continually adjust the price to meet the share demand. There is no transfer of money. The price is purely based off supply and demand of the market. That's why in normal markets ie the US, high volume days usually represent negative days. Even a reasonably up trend, the volume doesn't spike to the highs.
    1
  5950.  @Serahpin  lol, you are wrong. Dead wrong. Price is driven by the people that are selling, but EVERYONE ISN'T SELLING. Let's say Seraphin owns 900 shares. I own 100 shares. There are only 1000 shares total outstanding. If I dump my shares and drive the price down 10%, Seraphin's share value went down 10%. Seraphin did not sell his shares. I drove the price down and Seraphin's shares got revalued by supply and demand of the people selling.
    1
  5951.  @Serahpin  Again, FALSE. It's called paper profits for a reason.
    1
  5952.  @Serahpin  You really have no clue about the stock market. lol, you've never seen a flash price drop before in the market or an individual stock to understand the mechanics. Let me guess, you don't have a degree in Finance. Not only are your punching above your weight in Finance, you don't remember the original comment. The people haven't sold yet and have paper profit / losses. Again, it's not in anyone's pocket. A small % trades can control the price of the market / individual stock. The money is not gone, it is just in another pocket
    1
  5953.  @Serahpin  lol, do you even trade stocks? Again, you don't have a degree in Finance. You don't know what you are talking about. An online expert with no life experience telling people wrong information. Go ask your broker to explain to you what I wrote.

  5954.  @Serahpin  Great. My Finance professor was the guy that advised the Thai government how to setup up their capital markets in the 1970s and this Serahphin dude is trying to "edjumacate" me on how the markets work.

  5955.  @Serahpin  The funny part is I know exactly what you are trying to "explain", but it's not applicable here.
    1
  5956.  @Serahpin  The dude is saying there is a direct transfer of wealth from the new buyers (who lost money) and into the pockets of the old sellers (who sold at the top). And, I'm saying that's not how the markets work except for 1 long term scenario. And, this isn't that scenario. lol, CAT opened up down 2% this morning with zero shares traded. The MM slammed the bid lower due to a downgrade. Yes, 2% vaporized without any shares trading hands.

  5966. Because it's a lower tax base. And, the government spending is based on a high and growing tax base. Generally speaking, a lower population will create lower economic output. Lower economic output = less taxes. Less taxes and less money for the military, roads / bridges, social services etc.

Even better, all the data is getting fudged, so no one knows the full extent of the issues or the data gets delayed by months. I said last year the CCP needed at least a 10% of GDP stimulus package to hold the line and try to reverse. At this point all the small measures is like peeing to put out a fire.

Basically, it ramped up and made deportation easier. Once harsh penalties came out, people made the decision to stay in the US rather than go back and forth. And, the 1996 law made it harder for people to become legal.

No footage has been published of his "heart attack" in a pool.

  6001. Yeap, going to see the tofu dreg projects worldwide. On September 16, 2021, the Matthews Ridge dam built by GMI collapsed, causing flooding. Several inhabitants were forced to seek refuge in trees waiting for the water to recede. According to Guyanese newspaper Stabroeknews, residents had warned the company about this risk. The unwillingness of Chinese company Guyana Manganese Inc. (GMI) to repair a dam it damaged in 2021 is sparking great controversy in Guyana. Despite receiving clear instructions from Guyanese President Irfaan Ali to repair the dam in Matthews Ridge, Northwest District Region One, which damages are severely affecting the community, GMI has yet to comply, Guyanese daily Kaieteur News reported. “The quality of Chinese works is abysmal and is in stark contrast to the quality in the United States or Europe. They don’t even come close to reaching their standards,” Euclides Tapia, professor of International Relations at the University of Panama, told Diálogo on July 22. “There are always risks of collapse or failure in the infrastructure built by China.” Chinese state company Sinohydro funded the Coca Codo Sinclair (CCS) Hydroelectric Power Plant in Ecuador, which was inaugurated in November 2016. An inspection of the structure in November 2018 discovered 7,600 cracks in the eight distributors that inject water into turbines. The cracks are due to the use of substandard building materials and inferior welds. The Ecuadorean government appointed German company TÜV SÜD to conduct a yearlong thorough evaluation of the plant. “This shows the poor quality of construction in Chinese infrastructure megaprojects, six of which are hydroelectric plants,” former Ecuadorean Minister of Energy Fernando Santos told Diálogo. “If the cracks can’t be repaired, the machine chamber will have to be replaced. What starts badly ends badly.”

Not only are they underwater, a massive sell would increase yields even higher. Thus, more losses. Yellen going to China had nothing to do with UST. And, yes. Japan is a bigger issue because of a combination of the yen carry trade and large Japanese institutional investors. But, the BoJ has its own problems. They can inch up their yield, but they aren't going to spike it.

Then, occasionally and sometimes more than that. I'm glad that I missed this fentanyl era. Can't trust drugs these days which sounds a bit bonkers typing it out.

  6137.  @maojunning5423  The US has won all the major wars in the last century to keep peace and democracy around the globe: World War I, World War II and the "Cold" War. You are welcome unless you are a commie.

  6141.  @RudieObias  Let me guess. You are in your 20s and don't know what cable TV is. This popped in my timeline because I watched a few videos on the NBA all-star game.
    1
  6142. This is the absolute worst policy. You are doing "something" for window dressing, but not enough to make a difference. Xi is stealing policy from the younger generation: let it rot!

  6143. I see the EU parliamentary system and I'm like, "2 party system is fine with me". Can't imagine if someone called a snap election in the US.

  6144. side less important note: I know nothing about the Bill Barr "gas" complaint, but it sounds awfully familiar to the same complaint with Obama and lightbulbs. The transition to LED was a really good regulation! Those bulbs are 4x more energy efficient. Yes, they are 4x more expensive, but they last 12x as long. There was no downside. (And, W Bush was the one that kicked off the initiative which Trump scrapped, but then Biden brought back.)

  6145. I can never for the life of me do the hard accent for extra expression in Korean.

  6146.  @Onyx-Rose150  lol, you don't trade stocks. They literally trade off market cap on every single transaction. I don't think you understand the definition of market cap. (Amusingly, I think you have a cursory understanding of business and think market cap is...market size. It's not. Market cap or Market capitalization is the value of the business set by public markets.)
    1
  6147. @ Yeah, good luck sport. You aren't even playing in the kiddie pool. You are standing outside the water. Market capitalization for a stock: shares outstanding * current traded price. I'm not sure why this is so difficult since the internet like...has this information. Source: Me, I literally have a degree in Finance.
    1
  6148. @ (and, my instincts were right. For some reason, you are confusing market size with market cap.)
    1
  6149. @ Markets and stock prices are supposed to be efficient. Any market share change will be accounted for in the financials statements via revenue / income. And thus, investors (traders) will price the stock differently which would change the market cap. Are you telling me you still haven't looked up the word "market cap" yet?
    1
  6150.  @Onyx-Rose150  I ain't reading your odd tangent story that has nothing to do with market cap. This isn't a gray area. It's very binary. It's a word definition. There is no wiggle room.
    1
  6151.  @Onyx-Rose150  We aren't debating what the proper or efficient value of the asset. We aren't talking about future growth potential with a forecast. There is nothing to debate. You seem to be one of those intentionally obtuse people who don't like to admit when they are wrong. Do you know how I avoid that? I don't comment on things with statement of fact when I don't know about anything about the subject matter. Like, I have nothing to add about quantum physics.
    1
  6152.  @Onyx-Rose150  Yeah, you still don't get it. The price paid for a company is their market cap. Why is this so hard of a subject for you? lol, what does race have to do with anything? If Walmart paid $3B for the 2nd biggest retailer in Asia, I'd say the same thing.
    1
  6153. Since I have a rough ballpark of EBITA valuation ratios for retailers and margins, I can back into their current revenue without looking into their financial statements.

  6154. The more interesting part is the delivery method: Did the F-35s sneak in? Some type of stealth drones? or just conventional missiles / drones?

  6160. A lot of people are asking about her personality more. One, she’s pretty young still. I’m sure she was figuring stuff out still. Two, you can get glimpses of who she is via all her show appearances. Unpopular take: her looks > personality

  6161.  @TrumpFacts-wl2ik  I'm agnostic. I have no issues commenting on other people's faith.

  6167.  @Hope12Grace90  0:32 pink heart girl? or 1:10 girl with dotted shirt?
    1
  6168.  @Hope12Grace90  Yeah, her shirt looks tinted with "some" color, but it wasn't obvious. Interesting since the pink heart girl looks the least Korean. And, the dotted shirt girl looks the most Korean. (this is only my opinion as someone who grew up in the states, but visited Korea many different times.)

  6169. She better wipe her entire phone. Location GPS will tell the truth.

  6170.  @reggiebanksrb10  Ok, Perry Mason. What specifically is going to be appealed? Let's streeeeeeettch it out and she gets a re-trial. She's ain't getting bail, you nitwit. Winning an appeal doesn't change the prior rejection of bail.
    1
  6171.  @reggiebanksrb10  Did you eat paint chips as a kid? She's been found guilty. Her bond is $2M. It ain't getting lowered. Again, what specifically is she going to appeal?
    1
  6172.  @reggiebanksrb10  Not sure how that plays into an insanity defense. Sounds like a Hail Mary unless they want an entirely new trial due to lawyer intentional misconduct. Which seems like a stretch.
    1
  6173.  @reggiebanksrb10  Whatcha talking about Willis? She pleaded guilty by reason of insanity. Unless there is major material lawyer misconduct, any evidence to support a not guilty plea is moot. It's supporting an argument that isn't being argued in front of the court.

  6174. I guarantee hospitals for government officials are using western suppliers.

  6175.  @blackwingz55  Means, you "stink", lol. And, a bit more allergic to mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are attracted to CO2 and smell.

  6176. Prosecutors are not going to release the affidavit until if and when criminal charges are filed.

  6177. Yeap. Any CIA assets in Gaza would be locals and not direct US assets. We ain’t sending in a rescue team into a war zone against 10K+ fighters. Hamas would love to kill US soldiers.

  6178.  @kerinwills  Yeah, my ra** / murd** brain was fully formed. You people are weird. Do you even know the details of the case? We aren't talking about girlfriend / boyfriend and things getting out of hand.
    1
  6179.  user-nU-6wTt7N9  Yeah, the Korean / International age thing throws me off. I'd figure someone is slipping in due to some weird calendar birthday. I was 14 when I started 10th grade in the States.

  6182. I am going to gander that this dude hasn't read the whole Constitution and / or the history of how it was written.
    1
  6183. I’ve created many hundreds of forecasts / financial plans. And, I never had to create one with 25% of the business down -20%. That’s what has happened over the past 2 years in China. There just aren’t enough other segments of the economy to make up that difference.

  6189. If the CCP Is releasing “bad” data, it means it’s even worse. Their population has been shrinking for years.
    1
  6190. Why the f' does the remaining son get $530K from the estate sale? Moselle sold for $3.9 million, and after payments of legal expenses and $530,000 to Murdaugh's surviving heir, Richard Alexander "Buster" Murdaugh Jr., a total of $2.786 million was set aside for the Beach family and three of the boat crash survivors.
    1
  6191. In modern times, the US has a very important independent financial body: the Fed. Just can't compare the US to China because of this "separation" of powers. When the sh** hits the fan, the Fed gets aggressive and takes an apolitical stance.
    1
  6192. lol, this is the same if you go to the bank and consistently withdraw $9999 to dodge the reporting requirement.
    1
  6193. Math is a VERY broad subject. I took Calculus in high school. Likely, would take me months to prep back up to that level. I barely remember my advanced geometry / trigonometry classes. Algebra is the one thing that stuck because it has a lot "simple" uses and is just about numerical relationships. I'm going to assume you don't mean that kind of math.

  6194. She's pretty average looking relative to other female idols. And, her personality doesn't stick out like Sejeong who is very personable or Mijoo who is crazy. No real differentiation.

  6195. Well, at least they left out the floppy disk technology that makes even more scared. Edit: Nooooo. Wait, old tech is hard to hack? lol
    1
  6196. Man, totally confusing. Someone is going to be really wrong after the election. Hyper tight polls, but way more women voting early. And, way more GOP people voting early. Then, you have GOP registrations higher. Even the national polls are closer than I expected. I still think it's a coin flip though.

  6197. If you have minimal time, just focus on weights: Bench press, squats and deadlifts. Supplement with a few others focusing on muscle groups. Change your diet and skip the cardio.

  6202. Wait, can we slow down a sec? Call me crazy, but why does a lectern have a $7,500 list price? Are you trying to tell me that some local carpenter in AR can't make that thing cheaper?

  6203. Mike Flynn is still looking for a job.

  6211. People are falling into the trap and believing this. It's just like 2016. Harris is getting close in some of these states and will make it tight, but fall short. And, then lose PA and the ballgame is over. Then, people are like, "what happened?".

  6216. F-ing BS. How the f’ are these donations tax deductible?
    1
  6217. The US government would never let any deposits in a regulated bank to not get paid out. Even if it was over the FDIC limit. Confidence in knowing banks are safe is more important than the actual limit.

  6218. Warren Buffett is 93.

  6219.  @mb6705  No, that's not what the video says. They are claiming because the mural uses the artist's face, they have exclusive rights. It's silly. Again, this exact scenario is going on with Shohei Ohtani since an artist drew a huge mural in LA.
    1
  6220.  @Scorpiothebest2009  No one is charging a ticket price to visit the mural. They are charging for organizing a tour package. I don't think you've used a travel agency, tour guide or tour package or you would understand this.
    1
  6221.  @julesfisher3551  The old "trust me bro" with anecdotal evidence. Stop man. You really think everyone is going outside the standard banking system and / or lying about their personal debt to get a mortgage on a 2nd condo? Shit makes no sense. Why the f' would you put down a bigger down payment and then borrow the same money back? Just put down the smaller downpayment on the first and bigger one on the 2nd. It's all transitive math.

  6222. Naw, we can be real shitheads as well. And, many Koreans have extreme biases and can be racist as heck.

  6223. I think she looked her age or a bit older. When I think young for their age, it’s more like Kim Go-run, Park So-dam, Park Bo-young types.

  6224. Seems pretty obvious that most of these people don't "jump the wall" and aren't reading international news sources. Have to look at it from a censored news perspective and then in makes sense.

  6225. Change doesn’t happen if everyone is waiting. People need to make sacrifices (lives) for revolutions.

  6226. Typical CCP. Use the levers of a liberal democracy ie free speech to justify their position. It's bizarro world.
    1
  6227. The long episodes 100+ (usually 30 min) are the Korean version of daytime soaps. It’s for housewives and shop owners. The 50+ (1 hour) is the KBS weekend drama which is very family friendly.

  6228. It's dumb. She's 69 not 79.

  6229. I’m pretty sure the US has limited amounts of ATACMS. I’m guessing it’s under 1000 in quantity. Even a few hundred would make Russian change strategy.

  6234. Wait, so the newer tanks haven't been maintained, but the old tanks have?
    1
  6235. Naw, here's how it works: all these officials have been siphoning money and the smart ones get it out of the country. Each set of officials is just trying to prop up the system until the grim reaper comes for them. Sure, you have a few zealots like Pooh Bear, but everyone else doesn't care about ideology. They only care about their power and how much money they can skim.

  6236.  @unklmonk651  The thing is I worked in a crab restaurant for 2 summers when I was 17-18 years old. Every kid growing up in Maryland knows how to pick through crabs. But, those are steamed. On a table with a hammer and knife

  6244. Lots of data / evidence out there with US cities when manufacturing leaves. Lots of evidence out there with Japan what happens with a severe RE bubble. This is what happens when 1 uneducated person helms the country and is a zealot.

  6245. Kidnapping is a Federal crime, but not exclusive. Bank robbery is a Federal crime, so the FBI usually takes the lead.

  6246. I was in Athens in 2013 with my parents for their "retirement" vacation. I remember seeing all the stray dogs and the graffiti. Our hotel was right on the square where the big protests happened (not when we were there though). Our tour guide was really pleasant and we did a day trip to outside of Athens to some random restaurant which is secluded, but extremely beautiful. I was a bit more hesitant to wander around Athens at night compared to Italy. I would wander aimlessly around Italy when my parents had retired for the evening. Glad Greece has pulled out of it. All the people were extremely nice: tour guides, restaurants, shop people and hotel staff (they inadvertently help me smuggle meat from Italy into the US. Not allowed, but I had it shipped with some other things from the hotel.)

  6247.  @dontbanmebrodontbanme5403  2003: Jan Stephenson, who became the first woman to play on the Champions Tour on Friday, said Asians are "killing" the LPGA Tour and their numbers should be limited. 2008: The LPGA Tour have backed off a plan to require players to speak English or face suspensions, with LPGA commissioner Carolyn Bivens saying that a punishment-free program would be adopted. 2019: Hank Haney was openly and unabashedly dismissive of the women’s game on his SiriusXM Radio show last week. As a high-profile figure in an influential position, he basically said he couldn’t care less about professional women’s golf and its biggest event of the year. And, he implied that Korean dominance was a big turnoff, that all he could be certain of is that there were a bunch of players named Lee in the field.

  6248. They easily could have fixed this a decade ago, but that would have required fewer global goals. They definitely got the worst dude possible in Xi. A zealot who cares only about his ideology and power.

  6282.  @necrotenkiwongwat2359  Actually, that's not how it works. Income segmentation isn't like college professors grading on a curve. It's determined by how much someone can afford basic stuff and have a little extra leftover. Someone making 3K yuan a month is not middle class in China (5K USD a year).

Australians would support responding to a Chinese attack on Taiwan with economic sanctions, arms supplies or using the navy to prevent a blockade, but don't support sending troops, an opinion poll to be released Wednesday finds. Korea has to stay at home in case the North does something dumb. Yoon told a CNN interviewer in September 2022 that in the event of a Taiwan Strait war, his “top priority” would not be assisting Taiwan, but rather guarding against an opportunistic North Korean attack. South Korea is arguably capable of defending itself against North Korea even without U.S. forces. Japan would probably deploy to their outer islands, but might not take an offensive stance. Ultimately, Japan's leaders know the importance of keeping the Taiwan Strait out of CCP hands. The public is different though. The Philippines main asset is the new bases they are allowing the US to use. Vietnam would stay out of it. Edit: (grammar)

  6418.  @jenniferoakes5069  While I don't speak for all Asians, but I've lived in several different states. Here's what "can" happen: Many Asians grow up in an area with very little diversity. I grew up in a suburb with less than 5 Asian families out of 25,000 people. Essentially, there was no other people to identify with and / or date. And if I did see the random Asian person in school or at a party, my natural instinct was to not talk to that person. Yeah, kids / teens think oddly. I just wanted to fit in and not be like I'm Asian, she's Asian and everyone expects us to hook up. After high school things were much different and didn't care what other people thought. Eventually, I moved to an area where race was never a factor. (Looking back, I wish I had talked to the few Asian people that were around me in high school.)

  6444. Really was the Germans. Feels like Scholz was close to Biden. They could have nixed the deal after the Russians killed Navalny. The chancellor discussed it that month with top aides, in the office where he kept a framed congratulatory letter from President Biden. Scholz flew into Washington, heading straight to the Oval Office, with no notetakers and no aides. At the end of an hourlong meeting with Biden, the leaders formally agreed: Their countries would explore Krasikov as the centerpiece of a deal that would free numerous prisoners, including Navalny, Gershkovich, and the former Marine Whelan. Russia would get its spies held in Slovenia and Norway.

I copied and pasted the data in Excel, but can't remember if I saved it and too lazy to search for it. (doing this from memory) 1- Oct '22 was a small decrease in imports around -10% 2- Nov and Dec '22 was a large decrease in imports around -30% 3- Raw data matched up with numbers / levels from 2012ish imports Likely, this is the bottom unless something else dramatic happens. Basically, US imports from China are lapping the huge negative decrease from last year.

  6504.  @TripleOmega  Let's go through the obvious: the Union can try to convince members to vote for the backed candidate, donate money directly to candidates, encourage members to donated to backed candidates and reminding members to vote(!). But, here's the real power of the unions when they get behind an issue or candidate: they are an organizing machine. They will organize phone banks, people knocking on doors and just get members to talk to others about voting for the candidate. Hillary Clinton lost the '16 election by 80K votes. If 40K people would have flipped, she would of won. Some people didn't vote. Just needed more people to show up. Turn out in the 3 states she needed to win was around 60%. Getting people to show up (vote) is part of the winning strategy. (below are a few examples)
    1
  6505.  @TripleOmega  Old example... In 1993, the California Teachers Association (CTA) organized the single-largest volunteer phone bank in the history of American state politics. The CTA recruited over 10 percent of the state’s entire teacher workforce to make nearly a million calls urging voters to reject Proposition 174, a school-voucher initiative. More impressive still, over one hundred thou-sand of the calls were made on a single day—the Monday of election eve—when research shows this sort of outreach is most effective.
    1
  6506.  @TripleOmega  More recent example: Two decades after teachers helped defeat vouchers in the Golden State, tens of thousands of Wisconsin educators helped mobilize the first gubernatorial recall election in Badger State history. Surveying over four thousand Wisconsin teachers during that campaign, I found that over 15 percent made phone calls, 25 percent circulated petitions, and six out of ten urged their colleagues to vote. More generally, 75 percent of the teach-ers whom I surveyed said they almost always take the time to discuss the candidates’ positions on education issues with their colleagues before an election. A majority said those discussions took place at school.
    1
  6507.  @TripleOmega  lol, my explanation got shadow banned. The examples went through. Sorry, I tried to explain! Edit: Teachers are going to rev up to 1000%. There hasn't been a teacher on the ticket in my lifetime. He's one of them and has proven to be a strong supporter of education as his time as Governor.
    1
  6508.  @TripleOmega  Think about this. In Texas, they have banned collective bargaining for teachers (public sectors). In Democratic states, they allow it. If the US was more like Norway, no one would care about politics. Unfortunately, the right has moved way to the right over the past 20-30 years. I've always been center left (somewhat business friendly, a bit fiscal conservative, taking incremental steps, socially liberal), but now I'm a flaming liberal compared to where the right is.

Over time, Israel has gained the upper hand and it sure seems like they are the oppressors now. With that said, Israel still has legitimate security concerns. It's disappointing that Israel hasn't compromised and had some PR wins like stopping illegal settlements. And, being less heavy handed in Gaza / West Bank with average Palestinians (pre-Hamas terrorist attack). With the current "situation" in Gaza, I don't know what Israel's endgame is. Just seems really short-sighted.

West Germany GDP per capita was 2x the East before the Berlin wall. South Korea is closer to 25x North Korea right now. Look, Koreans broadly have the worst opinion of the Chinese of any other nation by a wide margin. While one party may be more dovish on China, they ain't cozying up to them. South Koreans Have the World’s Most Negative Views of China. To appreciate just how negative South Koreans are toward China, there is a whopping 10-point gap in negative views between South Korean and the second-most-negative country, Switzerland.

There are covert agents (not attached to the US government) like random business people possibly or State department employees that are attache employees. Stuff like Cultural attache representative. I'm pretty sure my cousin is / was a CIA employee since he started working for the State Department at a very young age. I'm totally guessing though and would never ask him.

  6601.  @immealldayeveryday9425  I'm literally eligible. Why do people lie online when we have the internet. Also, I fricken researched it before. - Fall of 2007, the Dual Citizenship campaign was launched when G.O.A.’L. started to research various nationality laws of countries where adoptees were sent. - May 2008, G.O.A.’L. launched a worldwide petition and informed the Korean media, prompting the Ministry of Justice to work with G.O.A.’L. on the campaign. - Summers of 2008 and 2009, the Ministry of Justice held two public hearings in which Dae-won Kim (former Secretary General of G.O.A.’L.) represented the Korean adoptee community. - June 2009, the first draft of the new nationality law was presented. November 2009, the revised law was submitted to the National Assembly, which was approved by the Legislative and Judiciary Committee. - 22nd of April 2010, the law revision was passed by the plenary session of the National Assembly. - 4th of May 2010, the law was officially proclaimed. - 1st of January 2011, the law officially went into effect.
    1
  6602.  @immealldayeveryday9425  And, for non-adoptees. (Aug. 24, 2010) On May 4, 2010, the Ministry of Justice of South Korea promulgated the amended Nationality Act, which comes into full effect on January 1, 2011. By passing this amendment, South Korea, for the first time since its founding, has come to recognize permanent dual citizenship of its nationals who satisfy the eligibility requirements under the Act. The amended Act allows a person holding dual citizenship by birth (e.g., a child born to South Korean parents in the United States) to maintain both citizenships by submitting to the Minister of Justice a pledge that he or she will not exercise the non-Korean citizenship in South Korea. Prior to the amendment, a person was forced to choose one citizenship; failure to make a timely choice resulted in deprivation of Korean citizenship without notice. By submitting the same type of pledge, certain groups of foreign nationals may also acquire Korean citizenship while maintaining their original one. The groups include marriage migrants, foreigners of outstanding talent who are naturalized as Koreans, and those who have their Korean citizenship reinstated by meeting certain qualifications. (Nationality Act, Act No. 8892 (Mar. 14, 2008), last amended by Act No. 10275 (May 4, 2010).

Oil is graded by (1) sulfur content (sweet <1% or sour >1%) and (2) API gravity which is the inverse of the petroleum liquid's density relative to water (heavy density <25 degrees API to light density >35 degrees API). Generally speaking, the US has a lot of light sweet.

You lose your credibility when you lie about something. they have a minimum of four victims shot, either injured or killed, not including any shooter who may also have been killed or injured in the incident. I'm sure you have looked up all 600+ mass shootings and classified them, lol.

  6625. Terrible framing since its taking the way polar extreme opposites of the spectrum. Worked at a Korean restaurant in Hawaii, but my Japanese back then was better than my Korean. Both very poor though. Although it was a Korean restaurant, the vast majority (90%) of the customers were Japanese. One of the few experiences I remember is talking to a Japanese dude (in English) how he was Korean, but raised in Japan. And, he owned a bunch of Pachinko parlors. Kinda silly, but I think Kpop has done a lot to normalize things with the younger generations.

One was a Filipino family. It's why American-Vietnamese relations were always going to thaw at one point. Too many Vietnamese in the US with interfamily ties.

  6637.  @Catty19837  Naw, the US has no real ties to Indonesia / Malaysia. I don't even think I've met someone from Indonesia or Malaysia in my life. And, I lived in the most heavily dense place in the US for Asians.

  6639.  @Catty19837  Ok bubble boy. I'll explain it to you for your age range: a grammar school kid. You have a really big country: CCP China. They'd like to take over and steal resources from a smaller country: Taiwan. The US is unofficially / officially backing Taiwan. An Asian NATO which would imply or I'll say it straight up would be a defense agreement to counter CCP China. So, you have two sides: CCP China or Taiwan / US. Those are the two choices being discussed.
    1
  6640.  @Catty19837  Yeah dude. I'm a classic wumao. Was born in Korea. Raised my whole life in the US. I'm the dude looking at labels decades ago making sure stuff wasn't made in China. Bought my parents a Whirlpool washer / dryer because it was the closest to American made. Would have settled on a Korean one.

  6641.  @Catty19837  You realize the video is about an Eastern / Asian NATO right? And, the 2 sides are either: CCP China or Taiwan / US. NATO isn't effective because it's just UK, France and Germany. It's effective because it's nearly all the countries in Europe.
    1
  6642.  @Catty19837  CCP China is their largest trading partner. No sense in them ruffling feathers unnecessarily. If someone (the US) is going to counter CCP China without those countries having to do anything, why wouldn't they just stay on the sidelines?

  6643. We are alone on this deal now with the South Koreans. ROK is one of the biggest defense contractors in the world now. Top flight equipment.

Grew up as a minority in a segregated suburb in the US. 85% white + 15% black and the black people all lived in part of town. I was Asian and there around 5 other Asian families. Luckily, it was only other kids that messed with me physically and not adults.

  6662.  @M-N00  Dude - I used to model / forecast for a living. Relatively simple models with several variables. If the CCP wanted to pay me, I'd set up a model with multiple inputs and do the research. But, its a waste of time to do it out of curiosity. It's not just simple "less babies". Think harder: death rates, life expectancy changes, do single people buy housing, do old people own housing? how does 1 death impact housing (grandfather)? how does 2 deaths impact housing (grandmother)? etc etc etc. Most of this data to model stuff is likely found in the household registration data. The funny thing is the CCP has unlimited data and they seem to suck at planned economy stuff. Edit: And, this is just the "potential" demand aspect. In theory, RE prices could hold if the market had an undersupply even with a demand drop.

  6663. Will Trump compliment Biden on the campaign trail? He sliced the trade balance with China to -106B for Jan-May. During Trump's term, it was -138B, -151B, -136B during the same time period (excluding '20 due to the pandemic).

  6666. I think this is with all the allergy foods even as an adult. I was never allergic to shrimp, but stopped eating "fresh" shrimp for 10+ years after high school. Just ate the clean ones served with sushi. Then, I ate shrimp (twice) within 6 months and realized I have a shrimp allergy. First time was bad, but I didn't eat that much. The 2nd time, I ate a lb of shrimp. It was horrible even after I took benadryl. Lactose intolerance seems to be a bit more common as you get older. But, generally I stopped drinking milk after high school as well. And, developed it.

  6724.  @xuli3961  I have a degree in Finance. My senior year in college was spent working full time in a CFP office that focused on...wait for it...retirement plans for state government employees in the US. Have you ever taken an accounting class? Sure Jan. Go post Winnie the Pooh images on your local Chinese Weibo or Douyin account. Let's see what happens.

I still went out on Fri night and usually once during the week as well. Rest is for old people. Edit: Also, I've been working since I was 11 years old.

  6736.  @hamfistsman6267  It's endemic to their society. Gutter oil, fake everything, tofu dreg construction. A society that is so brazen to cheat each other to make a few coin. Japan is probably the other end of the spectrum of not cheating their fellow citizen and gaming the system. Let's use an USA example: If I dumped in money above the FDIC limit in some weird bank in Kansas to get an extra 100bps, I deserve to lose my money.

  6737.  @InformedKiwi  I have a BA in Finance. We learned the risk-reward principle in Business 101. If someone is offering higher yields, feel free to go after. Just don't bitch when it blows up in your face. They went to smaller banks AND went over the insured limit. Split that shit up in 4-5 banks if it's your whole life savings. I made sure my parents were in ladder bonds when they were close to retiring: mitigating interest rate risk + company specific risk.

  6739. I feel that blaming the negative comments is a small piece of the puzzle. She moved into the SM dorms at a very young age. She was a child actress and then transitioned into f(x). That doesn’t seem like the healthiest environment for anyone to develop mental and social skills for life as an adult. In the US, you see “child” stars go down the wrong path all the time and the ones that do well are usually due to strong parental guidance. Combine all those factors with her not working for 2-3 years and you have a potential disaster waiting to happen. I’m sure a lot of her self worth was tied to being an entertainer. Yes, malicious comments may have contributed, but IMO, are not the root cause.

  6747.  @rainboworiental9521 No inflation before China started the virus outbreak. And, then Russia started a war. Blame it on BRICS, not the Fed. People always look at the end point and not the beginning point. Korea was a shithole country. Uneducated and in poverty. They pulled themselves out and made themselves a prosperous country. Countries that sink into corruption become inefficient systems. You people always find the tough cases and blame others instead of looking why countries succeed.
    1
  6748.  @rainboworiental9521 The Saudis are causing inflation and thus interest rates to go higher. They forced OPEC+ to cut supply. You weird utopian dwellers are finding the wrong boogeyman. THE US IS NOT A DRIVER IN SUPPLY. WE ARE THE DEMANDERS. OTHER COUNTRIES CONTROL SUPPLY. Why is Australia excluded from the Global South? Because they didn't have a bunch of corrupt dudes stealing wealth the past 50 years. Blame your own countries corruptness and stop blaming others. The f-ing funny this is there are plenty of shitty decisions the US has made. But these aren't it. Iraq War '03. Mortgage blowup in '07-09. At least target the right stuff.

  6750.  @rainboworiental9521  Dumbass. Other central banks raised interest rates faster than the US ie Brazil, Mexico etc. It's literally the standard playbook for fighting inflation. What's your solution sport? We've literally have a decade+ economic cycle in a matter for 3 years due to a once in a century pandemic and weirdo YouTube commenters are bitching about the Fed raising rates, lol.

  6782. It’s amusing that the planned economy country is doing the exact opposite of what needs to be done. Total death spiral. Can’t remember the order of what we did in 2008-09. Had to cut staff by 5-10%. Froze salaries. Took pay cuts (largest cuts % was by level). Feels like ages ago, so I don’t remember the details. By 2010, everything was ok. A lot of the measures were because of the unknown and not because of terrible performance.

  6810.  @BridgettReese  There are few operators of the Bell 212 remaining. Very few though. Lots of operators of the newer 412 version, so they were probably retrofitting newer parts with the older model. The bigger issue is the pilots likely had limited flight hours since parts and maintenance were difficult. And, it's not like the west where they can jump into a simulator. The weirder part is why they didn't buy some Russian ones. Russian choppers are pretty reliable.

  6884. A mix of truth and false innuendos, but I agree with the premise and argued about it with some Twitter loser who lived in Beijing. If the vaccine was effective, they would have mass vaccinated and opened up instead of pushing the country into a massive recession. Hard stop.

  6885. Russia sent their best troops on the initial invasion. Likely, they have 30-40% of their professional force left. You can’t replace pros with draftees. With that being said, they still have equipment and the ability to kill Ukrainians.

  6889. Your information is plain wrong. International adoptions are still legal in Korea, but have much lower numbers. And the Korean government is very very strict on who adopts. There are income, age, age spousal differences, weight (and more) thresholds before you can qualify for adoption. Sometimes, using words in Korea vs the West don't translate fully either. Korea doesn't have a foster care system. These institutions in Korea act as a foster care system and are government funded per child. Some of the kids are permanently abandoned, but many others live at the orphanage and still visit with their parents occasionally.

  6916. A few points: 1- lots of cameras in stores. I guess you could go to blindspots? 2- geez, don't deal to random people 3- don't deal if your co-workers aren't ok with it A long time ago when I was working in a touristy area, we hired a friend of a co-worker. The co-worker's friend dealt weed. Occasionally, they would do it in the store. But, most of the time they would walk away and do it in a corridor by the bathrooms (no cameras back then). None of us cared as long as he did it during slower hours, lol.

  6949. I’m pro-Pelosi. I think she’s an underrated politician. She’s not as progressive as people make her out to be. Ok, putting personal politics aside since they are toxic in the US. Pelosi held a small protest at Tiananmen square in ‘91. She’s been advocating for human rights in China for decades. CCP’s best play would have called her a senile old woman who is about to retire and has no power.

  6965. FT did an article on this. Economic data points releases have been nearly halved since '16. The more you fake your data, it becomes harder to fake all the data points. Just easier to stop releasing all of it. Edit: lol, just relooked at the chart. It was nearly 80,000 points of data in the mid-2010s. Now, it's below 20,000. (for reference, if you look at US CPI release, there are probably 100+ points of data on the sheet. That's why the number seems so high. Multiple data points on every major release.)

Rental payments are anywhere from 10% (crazy) to half of a mortgage payment. It's not like the US where you can buy a property, evaluate it on cash flow and have a rental payment cover the mortgage cost. That's why the market is broken.

    1
  6990.  @bradleygerber7317  And, here is why we have a problem. You are incorrect. The margin of error accounts for the modeling choices / variables by the pollsters. Many poll watchers know that the margin of error for a survey is driven primarily by the sample size. But there are other factors that also affect the variability of estimates. For public opinion polls, a particularly important contributor is weighting.

  7017.  @studdot4748  The US hasn't been an empire since the early 1900s. And even then, it's debatable. It's always been a collection of ideas and people. But, I'll let Warren Buffett summarize it better: “Today, many people forge similar miracles throughout the world, creating a spread of prosperity that benefits all of humanity,” "In its brief 232 years of existence, however, there has been no incubator for unleashing human potential like America. Despite some severe interruptions, our country’s economic progress has been breathtaking. Beyond that, we retain our constitutional aspiration of becoming “a more perfect union.” Progress on that front has been slow, uneven and often discouraging. We have, however, moved forward and will continue to do so. Our unwavering conclusion: Never bet against America.”

  7018. One of my good friends back in my teens / early 20s came from a “tough” neighborhood. His Dad was in and out of jail and he lived with his grandma. Somehow, he stayed away from most of the big trouble. But, his friend did deal weed and carried a gun. They were good guys though. Just trying to hustle a bit, but nothing evil. Dude was smart and things would have been way different if he grew up in the ‘burbs like me.

  7079. You didn't watch the video or understand it. He was a suspect in a case. While getting investigated, he admitted to possessing a firearm while under a domestic violence restraining order which restricted his gun possession. The case he was getting investigated for is still pending. Centrally, the law deals with the legality of a "protective order" and if that protective order can restrict gun possession.
    1
  7080.  @bookerdooley6739  Again, you are misunderstanding the timeline. Feb '20: restraining order that barred him from possessing firearms Dec-Jan '21: suspected of being involved in 5 shooting incidents Officers executed a search warrant and found guns / ammos in his possession. Charged and pled / found guilty to a Federal crime of violating a 1968 / 1994 law about restraining orders and possessing guns. He hasn't gone to trial yet on the suspected shooting incidents yet. (There is nothing public about his background pre-2020 and I'm assuming he has no record. It's a big case. They would have included it in any synopsis.)

It would balloon to over 80 houses. My Dad faithfully drove me around every Sunday. I'd bundle the papers and put them into the back of the station wagon / mini-van. Then, my dad would drive and I would sit in the trunk area with the papers and the door open. I'd grab a few papers and run to the houses and my Dad would wait. Also, I had to collect money from every house every month.

The CCP has $3 TRILLION in US bonds. They can buy food. Just 55 percent of the world's crop calories are actually eaten directly by people. Another 36 percent is used for animal feed.

  7136.  @RB-pl5pg  This is the oddest statement ever. If you are Korean, you should understand the history of Korea. Korea and the Philippines had the same GDP in the early 1960s. Both had dictators for roughly the same time period (Marcos lasted a few years longer). And both governments were US backed during the cold war era. The difference is Park Chung-Hee reigned in "some" corruption and forced companies and Korea to invest in infrastructure. Marcos did none of this and plundered the country and did not setup the country for success. Even during Vietnam, Korea made the cold decision to send the military to fight as they received monetary benefits. But proudly, Korea didn't send their average troops, but some of their best units. Long term vision + limiting corruption has been the key to Korea's success. Can you imagine if Seoul did not have a working public transportation system and people couldn't move around the city efficiently. The ports in the Philippines are slow. Their is no high speed train system and even the basic road infrastructure is lacking. The Philippines has one of the highest electricity costs in Asia. This higher cost is a deterrent for manufacturing. No country can thrive without basic infrastructure. (and I'm Korean who grew up in the States)
    1
  7137.  @RB-pl5pg  Do a little research on the Philippines. Internal corruption is the sole reason for holding back their economic growth over the past 50 years, not the US. Like I said, Korea and the Philippines were in the exact same spot in 1960. Korea built on the backs of our older relatives dragged itself to the 12th largest economy. The Philippines fell into a well of corruption. What sane country doesn't allow the tracking of money still?
    1
  7138.  @RB-pl5pg  You have zero idea what you are talking about. The internet isn't just for useless YouTube comments. Trying doing a bit of research: compare / contrast the histories of Korea vs Philippines back to the 1960s. Give me 1 citation or piece of data to back up frivolous statements.

  7139.  @RB-pl5pg  Do you even know the names of Park Chung-Hee or Ferdinand Marcos? lol, why would it matter if I've lived in the Philippines and Korea to make a historical determination of economic plans of the countries for the past 50 years?

We cut staff, but really we used it as an excuse to fire people that were low performers. We did have to let go of a new hire which kinda sucked because she was new in her career. CCP China is likely the same. You have some industries getting crushed. Others are getting hit, but managing. IMO, it will never blow up to the extent of these videos. Times will be tough, but it's not going to be Great Depression Dust Bowl like.

  7242.  @keith1854  Liar liar pants on fire. It's very easy to do the backwards math. Came back after 22 months in July 2007. Were in the combat zone for 16 months. Deployed in Sepish. Went to the combat zone in 2006. Retired Sgt. Major Joseph Eustice said Walz “fulfilled his duty. He was a great soldier. When he chose to leave, he had every right to leave.” Eustice spoke to NewsNation about the timing of Walz’s retirement in 2005 after serving in the Guard for 24 years. Walz left a few months before the 1-125th Field Artillery Battalion was sent to Iraq. “As far as I know, he did not know,” Eustice said of whether Walz knew about the upcoming deployment. “At that time, there were all kinds of rumors about us deploying. In May, when he decided to retire … we had no ‘Notice of Deployment.’ That didn’t come until July,” he added. Over 100 Soldiers from 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery, Headquarters and Headquarters Battery returned to New Ulm, Minn., on July 23. The Minnesota National Guard's 1st Brigade Combat Team has been deployed 22 months, 16 months of which were in a combat zone. The 1st Brigade Combat Team of the 34th Infantry Division has been deployed in a combat zone longer than any other military unit in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Then, you have the additional shock of the Russian invasion. Crack spreads were 3x normal. Oil is always based off current supply / demand, traders being di*** and trying to manipulate the market and a tinge of what the future will be.

About 12% of world shipping traffic transits the canal and 4-8% of global LNG cargoes have passed through it in 2023. As much as 8.2 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil and oil products traversed the Red Sea over January-November, according to analytics firm Vortexa.

Camping, he coached my soccer team, bike rides, working around the house and reading in his room when he graded papers (he was a teacher). I started sending him $250 / month when I was 5 years into my career and eventually paid off the mortgage and car loans right before they retired. Bought him a huge telescope because he like astronomy (which he had to return and get a smaller one because it was too big) and took him and my Mom to Europe for 3 weeks. He had read so many books on ancient Greece and Rome and I wanted him to see it in real life. While it was unexpected and too early, when your parents get older, you come to peace that they are going to die at some point.

  7340.  @lamwen03  Quite wrong. I've been happily working with woman my whole career. All my best friends are women because...I met them at work and the industry is dominated by women. Early in my career, our combined functional areas had 3 dudes, 2 gay dudes and 20ish women. Later in my career, I had to set financial targets with 2 divisional heads who were both women. They did not get along and wouldn't get in the same room to do the targets. I setup multiple individual meetings with them to negotiate the targets to keep the peace.

  7341. Worked for Gap Corporate a while ago. The CEO started getting very concerned about logo merchandise because people would end up on the TV show, Cops, with Gap logo wear. I'm sure Under Armour is excited about this free advertising.

  7344. This is basically like the Taliban taking Kabul. Just don't see how a few cops and national guard with rifles only (and no heavy weapons) stop Wagner. Putin sent all the real defense forces to Ukraine. The 4th Guards Tank Division would be helpful right now, lol.

  7345. Yeah, just like the Canadians and Huawei. Wake up to the real world.

  7347. It's a dumb argument anyway. Nothing goes away. The US has shifted business to Vietnam, India and Mexico. Those countries will do better and China will do worse.

  7351. Pretty much most of middle class America does this. Except, we didn't push the boundaries as hard and had some restraint. I've been breaking "laws" since I was in 7th grade and we were lightly drinking underage and smoking cigars.

  7353. I think it's understated that Cohen definitely sounds like a New Yorker. In a weird way, I think that helped with the jury.
    1
  7354. It's because very few people bought directly from China in 2018-19. US companies were the middleperson. Now, people are buying from those junk China sites and doing business directly.

  7382. Everyone wants nuclear power, just not near their homes. It generates about about 20% of power in the US. Nearly impossible to replace right now. The curse of Nuclear Plants. They need a ton of water to cool down and nearly all of them are near a large body of water.

  7383. Basically, it would be a Normandy style type landing in Taiwan. CCP would be using every possible vessel to transport troops to storm the island. We will see if Taiwan can hold them off until allies arrive from by sea / air.
    1
  7384.  @Liberty_or_Ded  I think you are overestimating Taiwan anti-ship missile tech + underestimating CCP China's jamming capabilities. I'm no mil-blogger, but it really comes down to numbers and execution to stop the first wave. CCP is going to use every "fishing boat" in their arsenal to get troops over.

  7386. This ain’t China. We report on news in the US. If the TV stations or newspapers didn’t then they’d be accused of covering it up. Let’s use some logic here.

  7391.  @Neil-de1fh  Rich people have egos. They don't operate like us. The contract was written favorably to Twitter, so they'd close the deal. He left very little wiggle room.

  7392. lol, zero chance Dems pick up KY. AL is -1. NC CO ME AZ have the best odds. Outside chance at MT. Very slim chance for KS.

  7393. It's pretty obvious that Korean companies don't have good enough training / warning programs. It's much hard to sue companies in Korea vs the US. Because of potential liability, nearly every company in the US has minimal training involving in-house or outside counsel. I worked for a small company and we had expensive lawyers come in annually to give seminars to anyone that was managing people.
    1
  7394.  @Keleneki  Waiting tables is a life changing experience. Even my parents were extremely patient in restaurants because we all did stints in restaurants as part-time jobs during and after college. My brother did back of the house. I did both front and back. My sister was a waitress.

  7405.  @7someone  If you listen, I'm explaining how economies work. A service economy can only develop if people have disposable income. Then, the multiplier effect kicks in. Simply put, people don't make enough to create a services economy. It has nothing to do with financing.

  7406.  @7someone  Did you eat paint chips as a kid? I DON'T HAVE TO CONVINCE YOU. THERE ARE LITERALLY REAL WORLD EXAMPLES OUT THERE. WTF? Do you just make up your own thoughts not knowing there is real f-ing data out there? Are you f-ing like 15?

  7414. I find it amusing that jus soli is based off British common law...and was abandoned by Britain.

  7420. I got in a pretty bad car accident as a teen, but got really lucky. Got about 20+ stitches since my head broke the car glass window (hatchback). Felt fine though. No real pain. And, my parents were worried sick when I went to bed. Checked on me every few hours.
    1
  7421. South Korea has the 11th largest GDP in the world. North Korea is 113th. South Koreans are 2+ inches taller, have a longer life expectancy and actually have electricity at night. It’s pretty obvious who won and would have been better leaders for a unified Korea.

  7427. There is a direct correlation with young(er) Korean celebrities of being single and popularity. The word "fan" is derived from "fanatic".

  7434. lol, no. In 2023, crude oil production reached a record-high 12.9 Bpd in the United States.

  7435.  @francismarion6400  Stop guessing and do some actual research. Venezuela total production is under 1 Mpd.
    1
  7436.  @francismarion6400  Who cares? They are maxing production at 900K b /d. We have them on the books for 188K which is 3% of imports. Guyana is going to outproduce them soon and that is new fresh oil to the market. Why are you so obsessed with Venezuela? It's tiny to the total global market and isn't critical to the US import number.
    1
  7437.  @diegof8853  lol, dude. You need to go to "crude oil school". It's laughable you are suggesting Venezuela oil can replace Saudi oil. Thanks for the chuckle.

  7441.  @maximillianmetscher7020  Yes and no. NOC is the same manufacturer as the B2 Spirit which is about 30+ years old. Obviously, they've leveraged their learnings from the B2 Spirit to make the new B21 Raider. It's been in development for about 8 years.

  7442. It's crazy: all the nutty right wing finance people I follow are convinced Trump is going to win. And, all these liberal media channels are convinced Harris is going to win. Not sure how anyone can be confident and this thing is a coin flip.

  7457. It's a good thing. EM is getting crushed right now. Dollar is too strong.

  7459. Screwdriver only? Ugh.
    1
  7460. If the kid isn't brainwashed yet. Forcing kids into religion is torture. Education is fine, but only a few parents are sane about this topic. They should be able to decide when their brains are fully functioned. My parents went halfway. We were raised Catholic, but they were upfront with us. We could decide when we were 16 what we wanted to do.
    1
  7461. Some people are weird absolutists. They need people to be perfect in every decision to support them. Biden was always meant to be a 1 term POTUS. His staff and close advisors failed him. Didn't give him the right advice about a second term. Pretty sure if Russia didn't invade Ukraine, Biden would have walked away. Unfortunately, voters don't give credit for positive foreign relations at the ballot box. Biden had good relationships with our allies.

  7466. lol, some restaurants / bars don't even let white people into their place. From what I read, there were communication issues due to the language barrier. When I've shopped in Korea, the ahjumma / agassi followed me around the store. And, I'm a US born Korean.

  7474. In it's core, Twitter was always about "news". Silly news, real news and lots of unnecessary news. We are in a different generation. People don't like to pay for plain news. A small segment of the population will shell out dollars for premium news like NYT, but it's small. Instagram is about pictures. Tiktok is short videos. YouTube long videos. Ads run more seamlessly on those type of platforms.

And the sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function as a soldier's supposed to function. Games (and life) are the same way. Just accept there are going to be better players that spend a lot of money and there are going to be worse players. Then, you can just enjoy the game (and life).

  7482.  @derp8575  And, this is the issue. Hiring managers tend to hire people similar to them. And, it creates a bias against certain "types" of people. Getting in the door is usually the hardest part.

  7486.  @kerinwills  I grew up in the US. Dunno any other way. Actually, I don't think I've ever been to a protest. Korea didn't get the right to protest until the 80s without consequences. So, they do it on steroids now.

  7524.  @layloo5244  Yeah, I'm not going to survey 200K people. I feel confident it's a low percentage. The bulk of Korean adoptees are adults now. When I volunteered to speak to adoptees (really adoptees parents), it was all Chinese kids (this was years ago). There would be way more stories of people speaking out. You realize there have been Korean adoptee online groups for 10-20 years now right? It's a swag. And, a decent one.
    1
  7525.  @yaobikuni1349  I'm 99% confident that I've done more research and been in more contact with Korean adoptees than you. Not everything is some conspiracy theory out to suppress information. People and your ilk are going to punch holes in any argument. No idea why, but it seems like there is some weird agenda to push. There is no way to execute an accurate survey. Everything is going to be anecdotal. There are media pieces done about Korean adoptees. There are current grassroots KAD organizations that exist. The biggest issues you can extrapolate is loss of identity due to transnational / transracial adoptions. There will never be irrefutable abuse statistics of Koreans vs other types of adoptions. There isn't this magic database out there (even records in Korea are scattered). Feel free to Google. There is way more information out there now vs when I started my journey in 2000ish. Last note: There are some extremely vocal and "active" Korean adoptees. They managed to push the Korean government to grant all adoptees dual Korean citizenship if they so choose. The law was passed over 10 years ago. We are one of the very few groups that actually can be dual citizens in Korea. Again, it's never been about child abuse of adoptees in these groups. But, blah: anecdotal evidence.

  7547. Long live Supreme Leader Xi! He's a genius to a degree. Hear me out on this one: If you knew that your corrupt economy could blow up at any time, what would you do? 1- steal military secrets and beef up your forces to invade other countries 2- try to steal the most valuable resource in the world: advanced semiconductors (Taiwan) 3- steal territory from your neighbors (SE Asia) 4- beef up internal security forces to control the population when the economy blows up 5- eliminate any successful businessperson 6- create this world "program" that is designed to steal resources from other countries (BRI) But, this probably gives Xi too much credit. Probably believed in "Chinese exceptionalism" or some type of global "manifest destiny".

Maybe he'll have a random post somewhere I think most of my issues was growing up in an area with only white people. If I was adopted to California (San Francisco or Los Angeles) or Hawaii, things would have been way easier from a mental standpoint. P.S.

  7647.  @MaestroDraven  lol, the average salary in Singapore is comparable with the US. The US minimum wage is $1,160/month. The minimum monthly salary for an Indonesian maid in Singapore is $550, but experienced maids can earn between $650 and $700. Edit: years ago, I was paying a cleaner to come to my 1200sq ft / 2 bedroom apartment once a week in the States. That was $400/month.

  7648.  @MaestroDraven  Come on dude. Even Pope Francis talked about it. Here, I recognise and commend the various policies and initiatives put in place to support the most vulnerable, and I hope that special attention will be paid to the poor and the elderly whose labours have laid the foundations for the Singapore we see today, as well as protecting the dignity of migrant workers. These workers contribute a great deal to society and should be guaranteed a fair wage. There were 1.1 million foreigners on work permits in Singapore who earned less than S$3,000 ($2,300) per month as of December 2023, including 286,300 domestic workers and 441,100 workers in the construction, shipyard and process sectors, government data shows.

  7649.  @MaestroDraven  I think sometimes people forget there is the internet. Myanmar national Pyae Sone had only been working in Singapore for less than a month before he got fired from his job as a kitchen assistant. The agency, which had ties with a Singapore counterpart, offered him a job at a Chinese restaurant, where he would be paid S$1,600 (US$1,200) a month. Based on data from the Ministry of Manpower’s 2022 report on the labor force, the median gross monthly income for full-time employed residents aged fifteen years and over in the construction industry stands at SGD 4,000, excluding Employer CPF contributions. A deeper dive into the data reveals a stark disparity when focusing on workers on-site, especially migrant laborers. The median income for all trades workers is markedly lower, standing at SGD 2,450.

  7650.  @MaestroDraven  I've given hard data. You are just spouting off. lol, domestic workers are 25% of the foreign migrants. That's a sizeable data set. Based on data from the Ministry of Manpower’s 2022 report on the labor force, the median gross monthly income for full-time employed residents aged fifteen years and over in the construction industry stands at SGD 4,000, excluding Employer CPF contributions. A deeper dive into the data reveals a stark disparity when focusing on workers on-site, especially migrant laborers. The median income for all trades workers is markedly lower, standing at SGD 2,450. Many foreign workers have said that they only made SGD 800 or less a month.

Normal investors aren't allowed to do this due to tax purposes (can do only in a 1 calendar year without tax implications).

All of this was irregular," said Durao, adding that BYD would be fined for each worker found in this situation, without elaborating on the total amount to be paid. The 163 workers who were rescued by labor authorities in December are leaving or have already left Brazil, said Liane Durao, who has spearheaded the probe announced in late December by the labor authorities in Bahia state.

  7738. When I was drinking a lot, one of my hangouts was <1 mile away. Really was only about a 15 min walk. Pretty lazy though and I'd usually take a taxi back from the bars. But, it's really hard to get a taxi if you leave around 2AM. One time, I was heavily intoxicated and blacked out. All the sudden, I snapped out of it and I was just aimlessly walking 1-2 miles north of my apartment. I'm guessing I just decided to walk home, but was so drunk that I kept walking in the wrong direction. The "odd" part is when I snapped out of it, I was completely sober (not legally, but mentally). Was like WTF am I doing. Luckily, I had all my stuff: keys, wallet, phone and money still in my pockets.

Stations are open in Hawaii, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania and under construction in four other states. Twelve additional states have awarded contracts for constructing the charging stations; 17 states have not yet issued proposals. Nick Nigro, founder of Atlas Public Policy, said that some of the delays are to be expected. “State transportation agencies are the recipients of the money,” he said. “Nearly all of them had no experience deploying electric vehicle charging stations before this law was enacted.”

Learned BASIC programming in the 5th and 6th grade at a community college and a G&T summer camp program. There was literally nothing an average person could do with it though. As a middle class suburban kid, we used our Commodore 64 and later Apple II (my friends computers) to play video games. My sister's boyfriend in the mid-90s was the first to get internet service. It was Prodigy or Compuserve. But, you couldn't use it because it was an astronomical per hour charge. No one had email accounts until AOL starting giving out their free disk and a flat monthly charge.

  7762. Max recent price of HYBE is around 230K won. It's now about 194K won. That's -15% difference. "If" it was insider trading, they sold for an extra 34K won, lol. Seems pretty inconsequential right? Wrong! Our high priced outside counsel would come annually to warn us about insider trading cases (this was in the States). They would tell us about some cases where people had really really good jobs. Lost their job, had to pay back the gains and some went to jail for a couple hundred K dollars in profit. Obviously there are bigger cases, but they wanted to tell us about the smaller more realistic cases to scare us. Me, I would either (1) sell my shares before a good earnings report or (2) right after. Got really murky because I always held material non-public information. Basically, I always knew the forecast. Also, even when my parents would ask about work, I would just say, "everything is ok". And, once they gave me a list of names to look at and to see if I knew any of them after we had a change of control. One of them seemed to be the same name as one of my cousins that I hadn't spoken with in many years (same last name). Our outside counsel did a short interview and then they took my laptop and copied all the data.

BABA and other big tech companies are squeezing a few more dollars vs last year and are still cutting jobs. Has to be way worse for smaller local companies. Alibaba Cloud, the cloud computing division of e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding that is seeking an initial public offering in the next 12 months, is laying off about 1,000 workers amounting to 7 per cent of its staff, according to people briefed on the matter. Alibaba has been downsizing its payroll for months. Its headcount at the end of March was down by 4,524 people from December to 235,216, according to its first-quarter report. In the past 12 months, Alibaba has cut full-time employees by 19,725, 7.7 per cent of the company.

  7795.  @wondertyzipp8260  You are literally doing what authoritarian regimes do when talking about the US. Expanding the negatives and making a judgement about society. US is a drug infested, crime riddled, gun crazy society eh? Korea is a liberal democracy. Maybe they don't suit your taste, but heck. People had to worry about putting food on the table until the 1980s and not getting murdered by the military / dictatorship. You are talking about first world problems that take generations to sort out. Sorry, not everyone is on your timeline.

  7796.  @OmegaFares  Dude - you don't realize how shitty Korea was back in the 50-90s. My grandparents lived through and survived the Korean war. They are tough hard people. They all lived to their late 80s-90s. (They were born during the Japanese occupation.) I see some of the same toughness in the Ukrainian people as my grandparents.

  7803. That’s another fallacy. Ever since Reagan, deficits as a % to GDP are way higher than the Dem POTUS they follow. Reagan / Bush Sr <— Carter Bush Jr <— Clinton Trump <— Obama Dems cut the deficit. Then, GOP increase it. Or simply put, Dems tax and spend. GOP cut taxes and still spend.

Dude had a good moral compass for humanity (ignoring the sexual harassment claims). Clinton on the other hand enacted 2 of the worst policies in American history: allowing China in the WTO and the repeal of Glass-Steagall.

  7927. @ The problem for a middle income country driven by exports is wages. They serve competing masters. Low wages are needed to produce low cost goods. But, low wages result in less buying buying. This is why China has a low consumption as a % of GDP. They have been unwilling to take the necessary hard steps to convert their economy. No high population country in modern times has escaped the middle income trap. Very unlikely China will be the first.

  7928.  @justadad6871  How much have real estate prices fallen by? Do you work in China? Are you employed by a local company? I'm trying to figure out your anecdotal ex-pat opinion and compare it to an average local person. The girl in the video literally said rents have dropped by half.

  7929.  @havocrein  Higher wages for people and keeping cost of living low is nearly impossible to achieve. They are competing with each other. Additionally, tech and innovation is not good for countries that have a mass of unskilled labor. Inefficiency is good for jobs. Go watch the film Secret of my Success from the 1980s. You literally had people delivering memos in companies.

  7930.  @justadad6871  Yeah, using personal experiences to explain an economy is problematic. I made over 5x the median income in 2008. My rent / utilities were <25% of my salary. I had no car loan. When the recession hit, my salary got cut by -15% and I had cut 10% of the positions on my team at work. My life didn't change. Everything was fine and my favorite restaurant had less wait time. But, many many many other people were getting hurt economically.

But, then the pharma companies swoop in and start pushing it for other applications rather than the intended use. It's in their dna to push more drugs to sell more drugs to increase profits. Many of these conversations are nuanced (gray) rather than black or white.

  7948. Looked on a map. It's in a weird spot. Kinda in the middle of suburban towns. But obviously, the birth rate is a disaster. In the short term, I'm a bit less concerned because Korea's population is 52M. It's about 5% foreigners (non-Koreans) now. It can easily double before you start seeing some "societal" problems. IMO, somewhere in the 10-20% non-Koreans is where you'll see some major issues start popping.

  7955. Oh boy, I had an argument on twitter about this. I was a bit snarky. Look, parents in the 70s didn't have any resources. THERE WAS NO INTERNET. They just tried to the best they could and failed miserably at a lot of things. Parents these days have a total advantage with all the support groups. My parents didn't intend to adopt me specifically. They wanted another kid and it was easier to adopt internationally. My parents, white, were planning on adopting a black kid, but that was ever more onerous. So, they picked me out of a book, haha.

  7956. So, my guess is that there was weak circumstantial evidence ie phone logs. The weird part is that Incheon police is doing the investigation.

And over a billion, you default to short term cap gains rate. And, I'd change the long term cap gains holding period from 1 year to 3 years. 1 year ain't long term.

It's how every bill gets passed. - Supreme Court killed the line item veto bill / law in '98 - McCain famously crusaded against earmarks Unlike earlier laws giving the president discretionary spending authority, "this act gives the president the unilateral power to change the text of duly enacted statutes," Justice John Paul Stevens wrote for the majority. Such line-item vetoes are "the functional equivalent of partial repeals of acts of Congress," he said. But "there is no provision in the Constitution that authorizes the president to enact, to amend or to repeal statutes," he added.

The technical details of how the auto-erase feature was bypassed are fascinating. The actual hacking was reportedly done by two Azimuth employees who gained access to the phone by exploiting a vulnerability in an upstream software module written by Mozilla. That code was reportedly used by Apple in iPhones to enable the use of accessories with the Lightning port. Once the hackers gained initial access, they were able to chain together two more exploits, which gave them full control over the main processor, allowing them to run their own code.

Prior to joining Trump’s team, Lauro’s highest-profile case came in 2007 when he defended former NBA referee Tim Donaghy of Bradenton, who pleaded guilty to accepting payoffs from gamblers and betting on games himself. Lauro was also a defense attorney in the 2013 WellCare Medicaid fraud case in Tampa, in which former company executives were found guilty of health care fraud for submitting false expenditure reports to the state Medicaid program, defrauding patients of $30 million in care.

The Muan country government and travel companies specializing in local charter flights announced they will orderly resume the flights to Da Nang, Nha Trang, Da Lat (Vietnam), Bangkok (Thailand), and Ulaanbaatar (Mongolia) cities this July. The local authority emphasized that Vietnam, Thailand, and Mongolia have simplified the entry filings so when entering these countries, people will only need to bring the COVID-19 vaccination certificate. After two years and seven months affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, Muan International Airport resumed the flights.

Schools and colleges have moved to online only. Highways and shopping malls have descended into darkness, and industrial plants have been denied power, bringing manufacturing to a near halt. The government faced two stark choices. It either had to cut gas service to residential homes or shut down the supply to power plants that generated electricity.

Even Al Jazeera is reporting this news. “We are facing very dire imbalances in gas, electricity, energy, water, money and environment,” said President Masoud Pezeshkian in a live televised address to the nation this month. “All of them are at a level that could turn into a crisis.” Mr. Pezeshkian has started a video campaign of officials and celebrities urging Iranians to reduce energy consumption by lowering the temperature of their homes at least two degrees.

Deep down, Putin knows NATO isn’t going to attack Russia, so he will throw all resources into Ukraine.

  8089. I used to eat a Korean restaurant by myself in the States all time. To grill, you had to order 2 servings. But, then I'd start eating and I order soju or makgeolli. And if I drink soju, I need a spicy soup to counterbalance to bad tasting soju. So, then I'd be really full and half drunk after eating 2 servings of meat, soup and 1-2 bottles of soju. Great, then half-drunk me would go to the nearby bar to get fully drunk. I gained weight by doing this. This is not recommended. Moral of the story: I wouldn't recommend doing this often.

But, that's because we made more money and could expense it out. Governments aren't in the business of generating more revenue (or they shouldn't be). I guess I could see small bonus awards as reasonable.

Though, I'm pretty sure you can make arrangements for other stuff. My Korean isn't great, so the chit-chat was mostly simple sentences. Have no idea how it works exactly.

For example: Baltimore has around 575K people in the city, but 875K people directly around the city within 30 min of the city line. (I grew up <5 minutes drive outside the city line.) You have to evaluate each city on its own.

  8250. lol, I don't even think the 50 billion USD from '22 "rescue package" was used. They keep announcing plans with theoretical money attached, but nothing tangible happens / is executed. From 2022: Tao Wang, chief China economist at UBS, described the package of measures as a “turning point” for China’s property sector. Along with other policies announced earlier this year, it could inject more than 1 trillion yuan ($142 billion) into real estate, she estimated.

  8253. lol, if the CCP is throwing money into a money losing operation, you should question why. note: all Chinese companies are owned by the CCP. It's written into their national security law. Article 7: All organizations and citizens shall support, assist, and cooperate with national intelligence efforts in accordance with law, and shall protect national intelligence work secrets they are aware of. Article 10: As necessary for their work, national intelligence work institutions are to use the necessary means, tactics, and channels to carry out intelligence efforts, domestically and abroad.

  8266. Simple fact. GDP will become stagnant if we don't have population growth. Birth rates are way down; so eventually growth will stall. There is a reason why China will overtake the US in GDP: population. Europe, Japan and S. Korea have an extreme "aging" population that will crush them down the road. The US has been counteracting the "aging" crisis via immigration.

The neighbor became so concerned that she filed an anonymous complaint via phone to the state's child protective services agency, but she did not know if any action was taken.

He has zero obligation to "lie" for POTUS and hasn't sent any corrections. There has to be some code of ethics about "lying" for doctors. The main doctor is a Navy dude. He has to follow orders from the commander-in-chief. (And no, doctors do not speak in vague terms of "days" when speaking about a medical history to convey 36 hrs split into 3. You'll get someone killed that way.)

  8289.  @one4all126  No, you have to read in between the lines: he only used the pronoun "I" with the correction. Although he is lying, he can't force the other doctor to cover up as well. Just like he was lying about the O2 administering. He used clever words that were technically right. "Right now" or "Yesterday, not here". All reports are saying Trump was given O2 at the WH yesterday. (and he didn't sign the letter.

There are more than 10,000 American troops stationed in the former communist bloc country. They belonged to Area Support Group Poland, which has now been upgraded to form the first U.S. Army garrison on NATO’s eastern flank — a decision announced by President Joe Biden at the summit of NATO’s 30 members last year.

But, if you don't live in a foreign country, why would an average let's say American care about how things are constructed in CCP China?
    1
  8405.  @matthewmosier8439  I don't disagree, but that's not something the average American can digest. More for the think tanks, military and intel community. I think it's pretty clear than CCP China is willing to rape any country and any resource on the planet. Basically, what the Europeans did in the colonialism time period or the Japanese pre-WW2. (This statement is giving zero support or justification for what CCP China is doing now.)

Rubio said that there was no “​​scientific evidence to justify” the claim that climate change is caused by humans and went as far as to say, “I do not believe that human activity is causing these dramatic changes to our climate the way these scientists are portraying it.” These are the people that FL voted in for many years.

  8499.  @abdullahghauri7211  Taking tests did nothing for my career after college. Being able to critical think with efficiency + learned skills is what helps you. Again, written tests isn't that. Being curious, taking initiative and having "street" smarts are way better than rote knowledge. Example: I worked in a Fortune 500 company that sold clothes. I was in a functional area that was a bit weather sensitive. It was my first job out of college. Realizing how important weather was to our department, I used to send regular regional weather updates to our cross functional team. No one asked me to do it, but I thought it was relevant information that impacted our sales. (Our department was responsible for regional sales breakdowns as a grouping.) Spitting out stuff you memorized for a test doesn't teach you that.

No issue with the truly abandoned kids. But, the other kids are in limbo. Some even see their parents occasionally out of the facilities.

Edit: I'm guessing you haven't lived outside the US ever. America's selfishness will be the downfall of the country. No one cares about sacrificing for each other anymore for a common goal.

Both major outbreaks in Korea were caused by "churches" (cult) who broke the rules. And one of the churches is getting sued by the city to recover covid related costs.

They should start with means based testing with a high limit. Over $250K. And, then create a test for net worth. People worth over $10M or so don't need SS payments. Stop sending payments to rich people and save a few bucks. Also, my late father was very against this though. Felt like it undermined the spirit of the program.

It's a pretty small country (Obviously, it's hyperbole, but the selection from my neighborhood store wasn't that much different from the bigger stores. I barely made the effort to shop at the bigger Emart because it was pointless.)

Most of my time has been spent in Incheon and Daegu (mid-2010s and earlier) and a bit before online shopping exploded. The biggest difference in businesses in Korea vs the US is the verticality. One of the main shopping malls in Daegu was Hyundai. And, my building was Hyundai as well. The conglomerates do business in everything. Also, its a really small country. The drive from SF to LA is longer than Seoul to Busan. And, 50% of the population lives in Seoul Metro (includes cities like Incheon in Seoul Metro though).

  8624. I'm pretty centrist. While I don't agree with the depth of the tax cut -40%, it's not a horrible idea. Here's where it's horrible though. Why are we giving Apple a tax cut?!? They are massively profitable and don't make hiring decisions based off taxes. I would have been favor of a progressive tax cut. 0-10M: 20% rate 10-100M: 24% 100M-1B: 28% if you are making over $1B in profits, I don't think you need a tax cut (and even these brackets are pretty aggressive. The thresholds could come down).

  8635. I will admit this since it was several years ago. Traveled to Italy and bought a bunch of cured meat for my friend. Realized, I wouldn't be able to get it through customs. I had a few other gifts (clothes), so I got a box and stored the meat with the clothes. I asked the hotel to ship the box to my friend in the states (Thought the hotel as sender would be beneficial in some way as well). Was a bit expensive, but international shipping is much easier to "sneak" food in the country.

Chinese government started to come up with fake store violations. Basically, stopping their ability to do business. Ironically, they got to sell out before the economy collapsed. Probably got a better return by selling out early. The big hit was to the TV industry. Chinese companies were paying relatively big money for productions. It nearly collapsed the industry. But, a funny thing happened. This "small" company in the US called Netflix started to dip their toes into the Korean market. The cost of TV rights was tiny compared to US productions, so it was a relatively risk free bet. Now, even the low end TV shows are getting 4x what the Chinese were paying back then. The bigger productions are getting 7x. Generally, the same happened to the Kpop industry. They never could break into the western market and it basically forced them to figure out a way.

People think they can take a sliver of information and understand. - ruble doesn't free float - Russian central bank set the 88 rate - Russia's central exchange has barred dollar and euro trading It's a fake number. Financial Times did real journalism and found out the rate Russia banks / black market is trading. It's a range of 120-200 to 1. If you don't live in Russia, you don't know what the real rate is. And, yes. Financial Times is behind a paywall, so it won't show up when you google.

  8742. ​ @stephet3683  Every State in the US has their "upper" tier public school. Sounds silly, but it's usually University of "xxx" State, but there are a lot of exceptions + different campuses. I grew up in Maryland. University of Maryland is the good school with lowish requirements. It accepts about 45% of the applicants. UNC Chapel Hill, U of Michigan Ann Arbor, UT Austin are all great schools with acceptance rates of 20% (UT is a bit higher). There is a trick though. If you do terrible in high school and get your act together. Go to a state junior college and get all As. Doesn't negate bad test scores, but wipes your high school grades clean. (from the internet) I transferred with a lousy high school record. I went back to school at Alamance Community College NC which had a transfer program to UNC-Greensboro. However, after research, I found a list of courses that transferred to Chapel Hill. I took these courses and received grades from the community college and the UNC at Greensboro. Pretty cool. I then applied to UNC-CH and received part time status. After another year and a couple of battles with the deans (who were excellent folks) I was accepted full time. I was a high school drop out with a GED. I am now a published archaeologist. Poor but happy.

  8744.  @equivalentexchangeisalie5726  This is the generally accepted system in our society. Realistically, this case is more an outlier than norm. Typically, you would see the "bad" DUI cases strung together in say a 5 year window and people would be like "what the heck happened" and why wasn't the punishment harsher. This case is atypical.

The bats were getting in the attic and then shimmying down to the basement and then getting in the house. They installed mesh in a few areas and we never had bats again. Still kinda freaks me out.

  8819.  @louisgiokas2206  Real estate is a bigger impact to GDP than exports. It's just math and common sense. Exports are around 20% of GDP. Real estate is around 25%+. You realize when Apple exports an iPhone from China, it counts toward their exports? Exports are a way overstated number unless the entire thing is being built and manufactured in China. Housing is different. Everything is a Chinese component.
    1
  8820.  @louisgiokas2206  ok. I will spell it out for you. Using old data, each iPhone produces maybe $10-20 impact to the Chinese economy. Even if "some" raw materials are imported for RE, it's the smaller amount of the economic output produced. Not sure how else that I can explain it.

  8821.  @louisgiokas2206  When I worked in retail apparel, China took a way bigger cut of pie since we sourced cotton, they spun the fabric, sourced all the buttons and did the labor.

  8845. Always been the backbone of the Democratic party. Black females been the most reliable voting base. (hehe, Trump and the right better be careful. They ain't going to put up with denigrating the current VP.) side note: I grew up a bit racially colorblind as a kid. My Dad was a teacher and the principal was a black female. And, so were other members of the office staff. I used to have to go to his school when the county had different holidays than the city. They would all look after me. And, oddly because we were very lower middle class and have no idea how we could afford it, but we had a helper who was a black female that came to the house a few days a week when I was really little. She was really nice to us. More people need to have normal interactions with other segments of the population. Maybe then, the stereotypes can be dismissed.

  8848.  @FelisImpurrator  Dude - don't take this as an insult, but this is why the left loses a lot. Getting down into the weeds, forgetting what the main point was and just sounding way too pedantic for the average person. I scored terrible at my verbal SATs, but I'm the son of the middle school English teacher who taught for 30 years. Sure, there might be micro differences around the edges, but this isn't a English thesis paper debating the difference. We are just average people in comments of YouTube.

  8849.  @FelisImpurrator  I'm pretty sure 99% of Americans would say these sentences mean the same thing: Mother Teresa was compassionate for the sick and the poor in India. Mother Teresa was empathetic to the sick and poor in India. And after searching, it's literally in her bio: Mother Teresa's work with the poor is legendary. She dedicated her entire life to serving those in need, and her compassion knew no bounds. From the streets of Calcutta to poverty-stricken communities around the world, Mother Teresa brought hope and love to countless individuals. With a heart full of empathy Mother Teresa approached each person she encountered as a beloved child of God. Whether it was providing food for the hungry, shelter for the homeless, or medical care for the sick, she saw every act of service as an opportunity to show kindness and restore dignity.

I guarantee Tim Walz isn't going to berate constituents on the micro differences of some psychology differences of compassion and empathy.

BABA was forced to donate to the CCP: Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. pledged 100 billion yuan ($15.5 billion) over five years toward Xi Jinping's “common prosperity” vision, becoming the latest tech giant to bankroll China's broad aim to share the wealth. Jack Ma lost ownership of Ant Financial. Business magnate Jack Ma, who controlled more than 50 percent of the fintech giant’s shares, will now hold just 6.2 percent. And, yes.

America is facing unique challenges since a large portion of people don't believe or will be compliant with proven virus mitigation strategies. In fact, some of them are illegal in the US. Korea has a contact tracing program that gets results in 10 mins. Problem is that it uses your phone data. Illegal in the US. Mandatory quarantines are probably not legal in the US as well. So yes, you try to implement several steps and "hope" they will be effective. The US will have the worst of this vs the world due to the distrust and plain ignorance of its citizens.

Obviously, this can go too far ie Japan / Korea, but under population can be solved in the future with automation. You can’t just create an unlimited supply of jobs, water and food.

It's not just illegal in the territory of Korea, but those rules follow you cross borders as a Korean citizen. So, I nixed getting dual citizenship. Plus, I might have been required to serve in the military even though I was near the upper age range of military requirements.

  9030.  @rajairfan2768  Yeah, I'm talking about Korea in the 1960-70s. It was pretty corrupt back then and a dictatorship. But generally, the dictator didn't take the money for personal monetary gain. Just retaining power. That's why Park Chung-hee is the "odd" dictator of the 20th century. A tyrant and ethnically challenged that wanted to build Korea into a power.

  9031. Props to our adoptee sunbaes that have paved the way for stories of adoptees to be heard and pushing the Korean government to recognize us. Adoptees can obtain dual citizenship via these efforts.

  9037.  @jonjon9490  Good info. I was searching for his service record and only found that he topped out as Sgt. The funny thing is for me, I wasn't even considering the military stuff as stress. The shocking part was the 3 kids and separated from his babies momma at the age of 25. And then immediately, shacking up with purple hair chick. (I passed over the PTSD stuff because my brother saw a lot of bad stuff. His groomsman / military buddy was a high profile case that everyone knows. But, he never talked about it. I never asked. All classified stuff. He was pretty damaged physically at the end of his 20 years. Mentally, not too bad.)

  9086. I stopped watching after hearing its funded by China. Definitely won't work. China won't lose out. All the money for construction goes to Chinese companies creating revenue / jobs for China. Whatever happens with the loans later is a somewhat mute point since they already got a ROI.
    1
  9087. Every building project should have a separate mortgage. And, an escrow account. Residential properties should be one and done. (Using easy numbers as an example) 100 units at $500K selling price = budget should be $35M = mortgage value (allows for profit and carry interest costs) Presale deposits should be in an escrow account. When construction is complete, unit and final payment handed over. This ain’t rocket science.

  9095.  @cynthiakent4033  Just Google prior years before the pandemic. It was always a thing and crowded From 2017: Police dispatched to Itaewon 372 times during Halloween
    1
  9096. ​ @cynthiakent4033  - The police, in a news release, reported a spike in the number of people searching “Halloween” and “Itaewon” on the internet. - In 2020, when the Halloween crowd was smaller, the police warned in an internal document, obtained by opposition lawmakers, of possible “crush deaths.” - The warrens of bars and restaurants were also made more cramped by unpermitted construction at the Hamilton Hotel like a metal wall, further restricting the lanes around it including the alleyway, where the fatal crowd crush would occur, according to police and Seoul government officials. - South Korea runs battalions of police officers with specialized training in crowd control. On the day of the tragedy, 4,700 were deployed along the road from downtown Seoul to the president’s office, less than a mile from Itaewon, to monitor tens of thousands of protesters​ frustrated with his leadership. None were assigned to Itaewon, where an estimated 130,000 people were in attendance that night. - Days before the disaster, the Yongsan police station repeatedly asked the Seoul Metropolitan Police for such officers to be on site for Halloween, the Yongsan police chief, Lee Im-jae, told Parliament. Mr. Lee said he was told they could not be diverted from the political rallies. - On Oct. 25, the chief of the Itaewon police station, which is smaller and supervised by the Yongsan one, told higher-ups that he “desperately” needed more officers to control Halloween traffic, according to parliamentary testimony by the Seoul police chief and opposition lawmakers. - The police planned to deploy most of the 137 officers after 8 p.m., based on Halloween traffic from previous years. Before 8 p.m., only 11 officers from the Itaewon police station were on duty, according to Lee Hyungseok, an opposition lawmaker who reviewed police records.

  9098. Look, I think it could go either way, but you have a data point: the midterms. And now, we are seeing anecdotal observations of former Trump voters switching to vote Dem.

  9154. I was pretty lucky as a teen. 3 of us in a hatchback car. I was in the back with no seatbelt. We were traveling back from the beach (2-3 hour drive) and we hit a construction patch. My friend got a bit confused and exited the highway going downhill and didn't see the stop light. We got broadsided and I flew into the back hatchback and my head broke the glass. Could have been way worse as I was laying down at one point. Car would have impacted right near my head. Was a bloody mess, but totally coherent. Ended up with 30-40 stitches. No big deal. 2 amusing parts: I realized I was bleeding and I had white shorts on. Didn't want to get blood on them, so I stripped off my shorts in the middle of the road.

  9159.  @skyking6989  Don't take this the wrong way, but is that 4 or 5 days a week? I dated a NP / RN (nurse) before and she complained about her long shift. Really wanted to tell her to pipe down because she only worked 3-4 days a week. Fireman do overnight shifts and long shifts, but also have "somewhat" long off times. But, I get your point. The new generation in the West is not about working long hours. Me, I was working 65 hours a week and realized I would not have made it in IB (investment banking). It was my supposed dream job after college. IB back then required a baseline of 80 hour weeks which is bonkers to average. And, 100+ hour weeks during a deal. Edit: 65 hrs a week isn't hard. Just requires sacrifice. You either have to sacrifice your whole work week and work 13 hour days or work 11 hour days for 6 days a week. I choose the later. (full disclosure: my commute with no traffic was <15 min. I had a cleaner that came once a week to my condo and I never cooked.)

  9160.  @sabijea  Way too many different gfs back then. And, a bunch of crazy ones. Really crazy. Even with my work schedule, I did A LOT of partying back then. An office job working 65 hours left a lot of free time. Full disclosure: my commute was really easy back then. <15 min with no traffic and I had garage parking at my condo and office building. Also, I had someone clean my apartment once a week. And, I didn't really cook. I had restaurants literally right outside my condo building. My commute when I had 2 jobs was much worse. I was driving a lot. A bit less time going out.

They can take infinitely more losses than UA. Then, people forget that Russia can import labor to backfill from Africa and the "stan" countries to keep the Russian industrial machine working. Russia is only running deficits of 2% of GDP. That's peanuts. (Don't get me wrong, I'm hoping for a miracle for UA.)

They make a low bid and then give substandard materials and workmanship to hit the lower cost.

Dell’s overall net worth, which recently surpassed $50 billion, has more than tripled in under a decade. Once at risk of becoming an afterthought, Dell Technologies now trades an almost $80 billion market cap. Current market cap = 115 billion USD.

  9312.  @aenaen184  Could be right or some version. CCP is treating it more like hedge fund scams like Madoff than a bank though. In the US if a "bank" had a proper license to do business and was FDIC insured, deposits would be guarantee. No US depositor has lost a dime of their deposit in modern times due to a bank failure. SIVB failed on a Friday and money was available on Monday. July 29, 2022 Authorities scrambling to contain the damage from a rural banking scandal in central China's Henan province said on Friday that more depositors will be repaid, while three regulators were put under investigation. 21 Jun 2023 China’s central bank is planning to tap into a national deposit insurance fund to repay depositors caught up in a rural banking fraud for more than a year (lol, it's obvious they are stretching it out like unfinished houses. Ignore the problem and it will go away.)

  9344.  @reconquistahinduism346  I should have highlighted the word "average" more. The average voter including independents are not going to watch hours and hours of political analysis. They funny part is I was likely an above average voter in the mid-2000s and that's because I would watch the Sunday shows (if I wasn't hungover) and read the newspaper.

  9345.  @reconquistahinduism346  Dude - you really don't understand the word "average". There were 155M voters in 2020. 1/3 are independents, so roughly 50M. The majority or "average" voter has little interest in politics and is busy with life.

  9352.  @gregschneberger2474  That's tough getting adopted at that age. But, likely it's somewhat of a benefit as an adult since I'm assuming you speak Korean. My family (adoptive) was great. Other than being a little on the poor side (not really poor, but lower middle class). My parents were extremely open to stuff except we lived in a suburb that was inconvenient to meet other Korean people. I met some Korean friends in 6th grade, but they lived over 30 mins away. I think there was a Korean school, but that was also 30+ min away. Both my parents worked and it would have been a hassle to drive me everywhere. My limitations were my immediate suburb. It just wasn't diverse and generally felt pigeonholed. More of my own mental block than other people stereotyping me. Even though I was interacting with white people in my summer job when I was 15-16, it felt different because they were from other parts of the city. Eventually at 18, I had a part-time job in the city (East Coast) and I met even more different people. Some Asian, some black. College really freed my mind up and eventually transferred to the West Coast and stopped worrying about my race / ethnicity in a negative manner.

Huge barrage came in (which he didn't expect) and thought they were toast. The next day, they go out to the DMZ and sees the Chinese soldiers and they are still alive.

The one aspect that is being underreported: Indian Americans (not Native Americans) are the biggest cohort from Asia now surpassing Chinese Americans. (the wild card is I'm not sure how many are on green cards / visas vs citizenship. Also, they predominantly live in blue states.) Population wise, it looks like 165K in GA, 150K in PA, 120K in MI, 120K in NC, 65K in AZ, 30K in WI. These aren't earth shattering numbers, but in a small margin race, it could move the needle.

  9446.  @Charlie-ii5rr  Listen better to the video. They explicitly said the stock rebounded despite of China. If we had the multi-verse and China restrictions was the only variable, ASML would be lower. My argument is these video have shitty analysis at times. They just make stuff up.

  9448. Congrats! You literally figured out the problem with China (by accident and not with your brain). - Birth issue The birth rate is an issue because its basically a nearly irreversible trend. Less babies produce even fewer babies in the future. 2012-2019, China births were around 16 to 17M per year. It's dropped to 10M now. Why is this important? Because babies (future adults) are GDP drivers. They have to buy housing, cars, food, pay taxes (think the Matrix ie and substitute energy with economy). You know, stuff that grows the economy and allows the CCP to spend more on the military and BRI ambitions The average citizen has little or no concern about this. They are worried about their own individual lives. The CCP worries about this because its how they stay in power. - Current situation Xi has proceeded to kneecap local tech industries, foreign business, popping the real estate bubble (3 red lines), alienating their best customers for their exports and massive lockdowns which have plummeted the economy. Somehow he managed to lower domestic spending, real estate and exports all at the same time. The CCP corruptly pushed kids to get better educations and forgot that better educated people need...white collar jobs. There just ain't enough of them. Total mismatch of labor needs. At this point, doesn't matter: blue collar or white collar. People are screwed.

An image taken June 15 appears to show the submarine either fully or partially submerged just under the river’s surface, with rescue equipment and cranes surrounding it. Booms surround it to prevent any oil or other leaks from the vessel.

  9474.  @0xyGen_2.p0  Well, you aren't wrong. But, that's not why I think the grammarians accepted it. In 1794, a contributor to the New Bedford Medley mansplains to three women that the singular they they used in an earlier essay in the newspaper was grammatically incorrect and does no ‘honor to themselves, or the female sex in general.’ To which they honourably reply that they used singular they on purpose because ‘we wished to conceal the gender,’ and they challenge their critic to invent a new pronoun if their politically-charged use of singular they upsets him so much. The biggest argument is "you" which had controversy in singular / plural. Now, it's basically accepted as both. You functioned as a polite singular for centuries, but in the seventeenth century singular you replaced thou, thee, and thy, except for some dialect use. That change met with some resistance. In 1660, George Fox, the founder of Quakerism, wrote a whole book labelling anyone who used singular you an idiot or a fool. And eighteenth-century grammarians like Robert Lowth and Lindley Murray regularly tested students on thou as singular, you as plural Honestly, we didn't have google before, so we just followed textbook rules, lol. I googled it a few years ago. That's why I use "they" now in certain situations (again, not in context of current "culture" stuff).

We (the taxpayer) gave them an $40B+ tax cut. This is insane. Their market capitalization is near $2T. How the f*ck are they paying an effective tax rate near 16%? It used to be near 25%. THEY GOT A 35% TAX CUT. Then, we used have used target tax incentives to bring back manufacturing jobs to the US. Makes too much sense eh?

  9482. Disagree. It’s taught / learned. As an Asian adopted by a white family, I had a lot of strong black influences in my life. My Dad was a teacher and the principal was a black female. And, so was one of the secretaries. We had a part-time housekeeper (have no idea how we afforded since we were not wealthy) and she was black. I always looked up to them as strong personalities that were very nice to me. Just carried through in life with me.

    1
  9489.  @same.6409  ok, sport. Let's talk numbers. Their trade surplus is up about 500B USD in since 2020-21. But geez, what happened to 25% of their economy in real estate. It's down anywhere from 25% to 50% using publicly available data. That's a terrible trade off. Do you know what FDI means? Have you seen the official FDI numbers since 2021? (If you have worked in business, no one allows "rounding up". If the number is in the 900s, you can't magically just round up and pretend. Why do I know? It's what I cut my teeth in my career.)

  9530.  @life_is_a_myth  Actually, no. Immigrant doctors in the US are discriminated against. Even the 2nd generation ones. But, it's apples and oranges. I'm not seeing how this program is a negative. It's taking a lower skilled, but qualified person and allowing them to earn a higher salary. Yes, different country, language and custom differences and other headaches. That's the tradeoff though. It sounds like you are assuming that any professional job is "easy" to work internationally. It's way way harder than lower skilled jobs unless you are a top tier talent.

The only time I have worked 40 hours a week is when I as 15-16 with my summer job. They would have worked me more, but that requires OT pay which managers avoid. After high school, I avoided this OT rule by getting a second job during the summer. I have no issue with people working 40 hours a week. I have an issue with people that want super successful careers with a high pay and have the expectation of not putting in extra work to get there. And, I find it odd that people treat work as a 4 letter bad word. People should find ways to enjoy their work even if parts are extremely tedious.

We need to make some cuts. - I think our military budget is too high, but It seems like an necessary evil I'm a pro-business, pro-labor, strong military common sense fiscal policy moderate, lol.

A trade sanction is a trade penalty imposed by a nation or a group of nations on another country to punish it or change a particular policy. We literally collaborated with Japan to build the Mitsubishi F-2 based off F-16 technology.

Regardless, I can see why people might be hesitant of the mRNA vaccines. No real long term analysis done. But, the JNJ vaccine is using tried and trued methodologies for decades. There should be no hesitancy in taking that vaccine.

  9666.  @FreakMeat74  Dude - our life expectancy has doubled in nearly 100 years. That's due to modern medicine. Would you like to live in the 1800s? I don't think so. Every industry has its faults, but this is one time where big pharma has the best intentions.
    1
  9667.  @FreakMeat74  PFE is making 20-30% margins on the vaccine. They aren't gouging us. JNJ stated they aren't making a profit on the vaccine currently - possibly in the future. MRK failed on their vaccine. SNF GSK are still in trials (earlier results sucked). BNTX MRNA had no real revenue stream before this. It's a big deal to them. (I'm a big pharma hater too. Some of the drug prices are outrageous and is jacking up healthcare prices for all of us.)

  9668.  @FreakMeat74  Dude - give some recent examples of fuckery. I'll give you one: opioids. There is always a fine line of companies trying to make money and a company spinning the effectiveness of their drugs. And, then there is flat lying. IMO, this isn't that type of situation. Being a skeptic initially is ok about stuff, but being a skeptic about everything isn't always prudent. Focusing entirely on the missteps of the industry isn't totally fair either. There have been major successes.
    1
  9669.  @FreakMeat74  I don't disagree with you. But, our system that we have adopted is a capitalist society. Even with its faults, objectively our system turned out better than the Russians (obviously not perfect). In general, I am not a fan of all the things you listed. I'd prefer smaller competitive businesses than a huge few. But, many times I don't follow through. * Is big tech bad? Likely, but life pre-internet was pretty annoying * Are huge chemical companies irresponsible? Probably, but I also enjoy using teflon frying pans * Are there downsides of corporate farming? Tons, but we all benefit from lower food prices * Is it bad for our economy that manufacturing moved offshore? Yes, but I buy cars from foreign companies Back to our main point: HIV was a death sentence 40 years ago. Hep C is very treatable and curable now. Hep B cases are down 90% since the 1980s. The system does work (at times).
    1
  9670.  @FreakMeat74  Technically, no one is forcing you get the vaccine. Depending on where you live and work, employers and private businesses may and can put vaccine requirements. This is based off a 1905 Supreme Court case. I'd imagine it will be an extreme inconvenience if you don't get the vaccine (depending on your location). Not sure what school you attended, but my public schools required us to get vaccine shots as did my public 4 year Uni.

  9763. It’s an acronym derived from a French phrase, “Repondez sil vous plait”. Repondez = respond: sil vous plait = please.
    1
  9764. We borrow a lot of stuff and misuse the words. RSVP is often used as a noun or verb, “RSVP requested” or “Please RSVP”. We (Americans) aren’t very smart sometimes. Although some people will just say “RSVP before Jan 1st” which would be the proper way.

  9770.  @Israel-nb7ip  I worked for a Fortune 500 company (have zero clue on their decision making) and a small cap public company. Generally, in the small cap company, when our earnings / cash flow was better, we took more risks. Don't know any other way to say this.
    1
  9771.  @Israel-nb7ip  I don't think you understand what EBITA means. Come on dude. At least pretend you took some accounting classes in college. Not trying to be mean, but you are dancing around stuff that I'm not sure you fully understand 100%. There are financial statements that explain this stuff pretty clearly. A lower tax rate impacts "earnings" and "cash flow" assuming all other things equal. It has no impact to EBITA.
    1
  9772.  @Israel-nb7ip  Dude - I'll give you a Pakman example that you can hopefully understand. If someone like Pakman got a tax cut which has no impact to EBITA, but increases cash flow, he "may" make a decision to take the extra cash and upgrade his studio. The upgraded purchases would hit the capex line and be amortized. That's a pretty normal situation with what a small business owner would do.
    1
  9773.  @Israel-nb7ip  I'm a believer in capitalism. You have to take the bad with the good. And, no. That's not what I said. Look at small business like the middle class. If you give them extra money, they'll find a way to spend it. The tax bill was structured wrong, so the vast majority of the tax savings went to large corporations. They had no shortage of capital before the tax cut unlike smaller businesses thus it had zero impact on large corporations (with the exception of using the extra cash for stock buybacks / dividends).

I was picked on a lot as a kid since I was the only Asian kid, but my friends always had my back. Even still, it did hurt my self confidence until I was much older and moved to a more diverse area where I wasn’t judged because I was Asian.

  9817.  @SirStarGazer00  Dude - people measure rainfall for a living. We have the internet. It's very easy to grab data. Since '80: - Metro population has nearly doubled - rainfall has stayed stagnant and dipped a little - temperatures have risen So, Supply has dropped. Demand has risen. Infrastructure is leaking water. This isn't rocket science. It's basic high school math and theory.

  9818.  @starryskies113  I went to school when they didn't care about late birthdays. I was 5 when I started 1st grade and turned 6 halfway through school in Dec.

  9819.  @Maria12457  Naw, my state (MD) didn't change the law until the 2000s. I was born in mid-Dec. I started 8th grade when I was 12. Turned 13 in Dec around the holiday break. My older sister was the exact opposite since her birthday is very early Jan, but she skipped a grade. So, she was in the same boat as me. I didn't realize it until later, but it's likely why I wasn't great at sports in high school. Generally, I was at least 1/2 year behind physically than some kids. But, I did take some community college classes during 5th / 6th grade and the SATs during 7th grade. That's a whole different story. And, I regressed majorly after that, lol.

China reportedly has 65M EMPTY housing units. People don't realize that post-Great recession that housing starts did not keep up with supply in the US. Pricing coming down in the US has nothing to do with supply, but mortgage rates.

  9930. We've been protecting the seas since WW2. You idiots have no idea of our history or the US Navy's core objectives. I swear the internet has made people dumber even though all the information is readily available. Excerpt from the Sec Navy speech: The United States emerged from World War II as the dominant naval power and since then, has underwritten the laws and rules that govern the oceans, for example ensuring that acts of piracy are the exception rather than the rule, as was the case in the past. It is thanks to our presence in international waters that commerce has boomed in the last half-century all over the world—and with those increased levels of trade have come improved economic prospects, higher standards of living, and greater opportunities for greater numbers of people, not just in the United States, but in all nations that participate in free and open trade. The U.S. Navy has guaranteed this freedom by ensuring the stability and security of sea lanes around the world, particularly in areas where piracy, terrorism, and other forms of illegal activity threaten the safe passage of goods and people.

Once people realize prices are falling, panic sets in. CCP trying to stem the tide by not publishing the real data. Edit: you realize people don't even rent condos out because it's more hassle because it doesn't cover a fraction of the mortgage payment?

  9962. ​@William Santos You are talking in platitudes. I'm talking about real life examples. Taxi drivers: 250,000 taxi drivers are employed right now. Ok, what's the impact of robotaxis? * Is there less capital expense ie less taxi companies buying cars? Possibly, since cars can run for 24 hours, there might be less of a need for as many cars * Does the taxi industry shrink in revenue? Possibly, due to less people. Or possibly not. If income per capita raises, maybe more people can afford a taxi *Labor: automatically reduces the need for low skilled work ie taxi driver. A smaller amount of jobs will be created (higher paying) to supervise the robo fleet and likely more mechanics which are higher paying jobs. Net job loss, but higher paying job Restaurant robo cooks and servers: * Small business owner can run a business with less labor * More of the expense goes into capital expense (which is fine for the Korean economy if the machines are domestically owned companies) * Higher paying job is created to maintain the machines, but way fewer than servers / cooks (This same example can be extrapolated to hotels using self check in / check out machines, automatic cleaning robots, etc.) You can go down the line and lay out all of these examples: I have no idea where the inflection point is when technology catches up with potential reduced labor. Also, Korea is experimenting with a robot tax. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/23/sunday-review/tax-artificial-intelligence.html Korea is fighting with demographic changes due to lower birth counts: limited immigration and these birth incentives may slow the decline "some". But my original statement is still valid. It's still a concern, but less so with tech advances.

And, just plain hard boiled with some salt and pepper. But, that's my diet. Chinese food has eggs in a lot of different dishes.
    1
  10018.  @RUHappyATM  Eggs is usually just 1 meal a day. But, that's the beauty of eggs. It's extremely easy and fast to make. Hard boiled eggs takes 10-15 min and you can leave them in the fridge. Scrambled eggs takes 1 min. Fried egg sandwich is <5 min. It's hard to get tired of eggs since there are other easy dishes too. Fried rice and use 2-3 eggs. Some Korean dishes can be topped with eggs. I eat Korean ramen and dipped fried eggs into the soup.

Churchill's political career is pretty interesting since he started in the early 1900s. Shigeru Yoshida laid the groundwork for Japan to become an industrialized nation post WW2. The Yoshida Doctrine is still a part of Japanese geopolitics in present day. Konrad Adenauer was the opposition to "that party" in power during WW2 and was Chancellor for Germany post-WW2 for 15 years.

  10070. lol, Jesse Waters doesn't remember the tech from the '90s-00s. People were still using VHS to record stuff. China didn't have the mass surveillance system in place yet. And, they weren't wasting resources on some random teacher.

  10077.  @martinluescher5009  It's extremely weird proving my middle school bona fides, but here we go: - my friend and I were using the old BBS in 4th grade - I was reading Homer, Steinbeck and Shakespeare in 6th / 7th grade because my Dad was an English teacher - I learned computer programing in the summer of 5th grade at a JUCO - I took the SATs (college entrance exams) in 7th grade as part of the Johns Hopkins program But, this is the reality of life. My parents taught us too much independence. And, we weren't rich. Never pushed any of us and let us make our own decisions even in elementary / middle school ie I quit Lacrosse to play Baseball and hated Baseball. Then, switched back to Lacrosse.

  10079.  @richardparker2555  Do tell me about a time when 50,000 black people stormed and breached the Capitol and the media reported it differently?

  10080.  @richardparker2555  Again, when did they breach a Federal Building with the number 2, 3, 4 in the line of succession? You failed the SAT part where you had to do word comparisons eh?
    1
  10081.  @richardparker2555  Again, you can't find an equivalent comparison because there isn't any. No one has breached the Capitol since...the British in the War of 1812. You sucked at verbal comparisons on your SATs and failed your middle school history class.

  10085. What we have learned over the past 20+ years is authoritarian governments will never change. They'll lie and play along with the West to pretend they want to join a reasonable set of rules, but will never comply. Russia will never change. CCP China will never change. People need to get that through their heads.

  10093.  @tre_techie  Actually, it's the equivalent of a political middle finger to the prior Russian threats on ATACMS. The admin didn't use the NSC (Ret rear admiral Kirby) or Pentagon (Maj Ryder) spokesperson. They didn't even use the spokesperson for the State department, Matt Miller. Vedant Patel is Principal Deputy Spokesperson for the State Department.

  10098.  @cosmicllama6910  lol, smallpox wiped out nearly the entire Native American population. Within just a few generations, the continents of the Americas were virtually emptied of their native inhabitants – some academics estimate that approximately 20 million people may have died in the years following the European invasion – up to 95% of the population of the Americas. Horses used to defecate out in the open. The London Times predicted in 1894 that in 50 years time, every street in London would be buried under nine feet of manure. Just because they didn't have the same problems doesn't mean they didn't have worse problems. Do I need to bring up the Black Plague? Really? Do I?

  10100.  @baronvonjo1929  Black Death killed 30-50% off all Europeans. Yeah, that's 1 in 3 or 1 in 2 people. That's bonkers and people can't even comprehend it. People today are clueless on how bad it was in the past. Obviously, they were sleeping in history class.

  10109.  @daniloserrano225  Actually, she's 2nd in line. Means nothing. VP is first in line. VPs have zero powers. They only way the Speaker gets in office if POTUS and VP die basically together. Hence, they don't do outside functions together.

  10110.  @willielim3269  Dude - don't think you understand how our government works. Congress has zero powers over the military except for oversight. That have no functional role in directing the military. You could argue that since Congress controls the purse strings, it can direct the military to fund different projects. That is a clear difference in directing or commanding the military. There is only 1 Commander-in-Chief.

  10111. Too lazy to get the detailed info, but random searching. There are a ton of real estate companies that defaulted on their debt. Pretty funny that no one talks about Evergrande and Country Garden anymore who have 500 billion USD in debt.

  10115. Hard to figure out what is going on: CCP lies about the top down numbers. These videos are snippets of bottoms up. Neither give a clear picture. I try to pay attention to the western companies that breakout China data, but that's not a true representation either.

  10116. Because we are idiots and adopted a dumb policy in the ‘early 70s. Also, we committed to a purposely vague security kinda sorta guarantee in the late ‘70s. Yes, it’s actual legislation.
