  1. I think people who still support Trump are outright delusional at this point. Recently had dinner with a large PE fund CEO and he swears that Trump is bringing people to the table with his negotiation style. He is playing adavance chess and winning. The whole table was looking at him with wtf face but said nothing.
  2. Are evangelicals just now code word for white nationalists? Given the complete abandonment of their principles to justify their support of Trump, I wonder what is really behind this voting coherent. I grew up in small town America where Christianity was rule of law but never met a true evangelical so don’t understand if this group actually exist outside of politics.

  4. We called it the Bloomberg Cafe Con Leche Index, and as the name would suggest, it tracks just one item: a cup of coffee served piping hot at a bakery in eastern Caracas. Its price has jumped to 380,000 bolivars* from 1,800 bolivars over the past 12 months, an increase of 21,011 percent. While the gauge isn’t nearly as sophisticated as a conventional consumer price index, it has merits too: it’s tangible; tracked regularly; and, given that it monitors a product consumed by Venezuelans everyday, provides a unique up-close look at inflation in the country. Stay tuned for further updates. https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2016-venezuela-cafe-con-leche-index/

  6. Here to preemptively complain about my commute going from 10 mins to 15.
  7. hahaha. i just went here on a work trip. i thought Hunan Kitchen in Katy was better. You have to ask for the Chinese menu as they give white people a different menu. https://www.yelp.com/biz/hunan-kitchen-chinese-cuisine-katy-3

  9. I like working 60+ hour weeks. I have worked regularly 60+ hour weeks for over a decade with many months in the 70-90+ hour range. I now sit in an exec role so hard to actually fill work with 60+ hours of real effort so most of my time now is travel.
  10. I don't believe some of these jobs scale with more people. Regarding IB, you can only have 1 person building the model so sometimes it isn't a body count issue.
  11. there have been many projects that i didn't sleep for 3+ days. i was on a project and my MD was pregnant, and she had't sleep in 5 days. it happens. is it every week, no but you don't complain and you do it.
  12. you don't commute, you eat at the office, and majority of work time of screwing around the office until 5pm when then MD drops something on your desk that needs to be ready by 8am the next day which means not going to sleep that night.
  13. 1234. China is innovating in many ways that the US is not. I think what has influenced the sentiment expressed here is based on the older generation of Chinese. The younger generation (sub 30) is a lot closer aligned on style and approach to the Valley and Millennial in the US. I actually think younger Chinese have more hustle and drive than Americans of comparable age. The ethical and cultural difference I would argue is more generational driven than people realize but I am not under estimating how government has influence behaviors.

  14. Looking to buy a house in Austin that is smaller than we want so wanted to see feasibility / potential cost to create additions. Happy to pay but would plan to use said person to design / manage build if bought. It would be the first project as we would want to build multiple additions onto the house if it works out. Any suggestions is appreciated.
  15. My kombucha is all over my screen /sarcasm
  16. Everyone had to post excessively early on for NSAA access. Now that is done, we are going back to normal posting output.
  17. The background picture makes the format look ameteurish imo. Would prefer a solid color but what the fuck do I know.
  18. I did the same and then was complained to by someone in a tight dem race that they heard a lot of people were taking this action.
