    There's a reason b_t is on ignore.  When all you are is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

    I sure hate me some caucasoid Russian serfs.

    Also, my post acknowledges the ultimate effects of extreme wealth inequality.

    It will be interesting if the US or some other western power can actually create a serflike class from what we have now.  Trump seems to have taken some positive steps in that direction.

    Have you taken a look at wage disparity over the last 30 / 40 years?  Combine that with the for profit prison system and what else would you call it other than a serfdom?

    I guess "selective slavery" could be another term, but is that really better?

    Yes I don't know about the economics of O&G please tell me more, Brisket! lol fuck me sideways

    Resource exploitation doesn't always lead to economic success in the nations being exploited. In fact, it's not always good for the bottom line to have to work with nationalized industries run by mass-movement politics, it's often a lot more profitable to just work with a despot who makes sure that the money goes to you as the extractor and himself as the leader.

    I'd think it takes Icono levels of self-hatred to read shit like what is posted above that is a half-step above phrenology and still focus your fire on me, but you know what I don't live your experience so maybe I have a lot to learn about how it's Good, Actually to portray South and Central Americans as incapable of anything but jungle subsistence.

    The reality, of course, is that private capital is corrupting. Under Chavismo, Venezuelan economic growth was larger in the private sector than the public. And Venezuela's economic woes worsened as that imbalance shifted more and more towards private capital and heavily exacerbated by murderous economic sanctions. Unlike the US, which has the benefit of unlimited debt to prop up its atavism, Venezuela couldn't follow the leader.

    Poorly run and corrupt? Absolutely. But Donald Trump is our fucking president currently on trial and Canada's president can't stop approving pipelines and doing blackface. We don't have a ton of room to talk, and we certainly have no room to push coups.

    Preach brother, preach...

    We should hire Beltran.

    I made that claim two days ago.  I want Cora as manager and Beltran as bench coach - has either one of them been suspended for the 2020 season yet?

    Nobody gonna out cheat us next year.

    Okay, just googled the lyrics. I listen to and enjoy a lot of genres of music, but I'm woefully uninformed and musically literate on rap like a lot of Karens. Thanks for the intel.

     

    Fair enough, I can damn near recite Public Enemy’s entire “Fear of a Black Planet” album word for word, but wouldn’t know the first thing about pretty much any rap song released after about 2003.

    Don’t rip my jersey off because my wife will get mad. Really?

    If everyone in the clubhouse knew he was wearing a buzzer then why the fuck would they risk ripping his shirt off?

  6. I lived and worked overseas for 16 years and never used a US SIM.  As everyone points out, buy a local SIM when he gets there.  Depending on the country it will take a bit of paperwork including scanning the passport - hell, in Thailand I used my TX drivers license on more than one occasion.  Some places may even require a fingerprint scan or some other biometric.  Last I recall a full month in Thailand was the equivalent of about $15 and I would expect Cambodia to be in that range if not slightly cheaper.  Cameroon in West Africa, 4G unlimited data for a month was something ridiculous like $3. 

    But yeah, here in America we think $65 per month is a great deal.

    The Fuck. When I was in elementary -- in the 70s-- we'd get horrible crap like "salisbury steak" with the fake grill marks, that musta slid out of some unholy vacuum pack along with its own ooze like a primordial fetus. And mashed potatoes made from those instant potato flakes which tasted like wallpaper paste. One kid got suspended because, after learning some Texas history, he made a flag pasted to a toothpick and stuck it into his potatoes as a protest....it said COME AND TAKE IT (please)

    Meanwhile  you guys got homemade gotdamn soul food

    One of several advantages of going to school in a fully integrated school district.

  8. We had the best damn rolls in the history of rolls at our elementary school. Everything was handmade by 5 or 6 old ladies, none of which weighed less than 250 lbs. 
     

    And lord oh lord when they busted out the turkey and dressing before Thanksgiving and Christmas it was glorious. All the parents showed up those days.

    This is arguably as bad or worse than anything Trump has ever done. Does that change your opinion of Obama?

    Wut?  It’s bad but nothing close to the bullshit dotard pulls every day.

    And I've read that studies say that people usually lock in their economic opinions by late spring of the election year.

    I assume those studies were published prior to 2008?

    cora out. 

    We should hire him.  Sports are full of cases where coaches get busted for cheating at one or more places and still get more opportunities if they win enough.

    cora is going to be on that Pete Rose mlb permaban list 

    No he won't.  If he is then Hinch and Luhnow have to go on it as well.

    Seems like you complemented your scrimps and sausage with crab meat, which makes you a great American in my book, sir.

    I did indeed. I know you’re not supposed to put sausage in a seafood gumbo, but I did it any way.  It turned out just fine, but it wasn’t cheap. The shrimp and crab meat alone was about $30.
