When B&M almost went under in 2004, it was South Asian immigrants - sons of a c&c owner - that saved it and turned it into a business that contributes £1 billion to the national economy pa.
Meanwhile the Poles and Yanks cut a deal to load Poundland up with debt and run for it.

in my own experience, this happens every time i host/cohost and this was happening before i was more visible too.
it's the same old cycle:
- i turn people i like away due to capacity and they respect that
- i am overwhelmed with asks day of to the point where i can't respond
- a non-insignificant amount of those asks invite themselves and others anyway

Q: Were you ever a socialist?
Abdul El-Sayed: No. I'm too much of a scientist to actually believe in any sort of ideology.
I just don't do ideology. I'm a person of faith, and everyone else brings evidence.
The idea that you should have guaranteed healthcare in the country, anybody who tells you that's anti-capitalist is not really understanding how capitalism works.

Germany's Chancellor Merz on Iran War:
We now have costs exceeding €100 billion for Europe alone over the last eight months, solely because of the increase in energy prices caused by this conflict.
More than €100 billion extra has been paid by businesses and consumers in Europe because energy has become more expensive as a result of this conflict.
We have an economic interest in bringing this conflict to an end as quickly as possible.

“Yeah I work at a bank called Evercore. They call it the Goldman Sachs of Midtown. It is an elite boutique where the average pay is now $1.2M per banker. Do I make $1.2M per year? No, but I was ranked top bucket in my analyst class last year so I’ll make that in no time. Anyways, what are you doing later tonight? I can ask my VP if he will let me out a little earlier”

in new york, there's these super hot rich kids that make the cool kids from high school look short and broke in comparison. they're the product of generations of hot people fucking their way into money
when you first move here, you're intimidated by them. but if you get the chance to get them talking, really get them talking, and are able to listen without being distracted by their hotness and impeccable dress, you realize that they're as insipid as cafeteria mashed potatoes
if you've ever been to charleston, you know what i'm talking about. there's all this real money, but no real jobs. you ask a 30 year old w a range rover what he does, and he'll tell you that he trades equities. yeah, so the new york hedge fund set can barely beat the market but this dilettante of finance w a B minus average from the College of Charleston is picking stocks. he'll be okay, though: they don't let him touch the principal
he and his wife share a love of boats, booze and benzodiazepines. the anxiety of a life unlived. they're fucking housecats. meanwhile, the slums around the city make it look like they won the civil war
all of it makes you look at raising the estate tax and why not? belly aching about taxing double and death? liberal gov policies incentivize ppl to move to the sunbelt or offshore. but the fed estate tax can't incentivize them not to die
