I know he wasn't always like this, but he certainly seems to have bought into everything. When Trump won in November, he seemed genuinely distressed. He was on the verge of tears. It's bizarre.
He used to host the man show and dress in black face. Sadly he took the deal just like Dr. Drew did and split from the uncontrollable Adam corolla. Adam talks about it on his show sometimes. The beginning of the end in each case was them agreeing to take a raise leaving Adam behind instead of equal salaries.
 
I don't know anyone going to top Ivy league schools. They're filled with foreigners. However, I've attended state university, and my Grandfather and older Sister were/are physics and math professors at ok state universities. The quality of student in the last 10 but especially the last 4 years have dropped precipitously. We might have a few top of the top places, but they're filled with non-citizens. Many of whom are Chinese themselves and leave the country to build dams in Africa.
The bachelor's curriculum is identical between state schools and "elite" schools. You'll be taught by an unintelligible grad student for half your classes no matter which school you go to, but a state school will be a fraction of the cost. Master's degrees these days are sadly just degree mills for foreigners wanting visas. PhD programs' quality depends on what you're researching and who your advisor is, not what school you go to.

The only people who care about the "eliteness" of a school are tiger moms.
 
The problem is, American citizens never signed up to be the protectors of these foreign nations. I've watched family become disabled, both physically and mentally, defending shitholes across the globe. If the American people were benefiting from these trade deals then it would be a different story. If you look at the heartlands of America they are decimated by global trade, and endless war. China having no power projection is good for them. That is what has raised their people's standards of living.
If you don't like the arrangement, you can leave. This isn't North Korea. Considering how few countries directly fuck with the US than, say, Uganda, I think the results are demonstrable. You can be born in West Bumfuck, Oklahoma and have a nice life. The same cannot be said for all the poor bastards born in China, or India, or Senegal.

Travel the world sometime. It won't make you more cultured, but it will make you realize how absolutely fucked the rest of the world is compared to the USA. People still die of tuberculosis in many countries, which is basically eradicated in the USA. As the saying goes: freedom isn't free. It's paid for in blood, sweat, and delicious US dollars.

I did not badmouth state schools but, while we're on the subject, your average US state school is usually better than even top-tier universities in developing countries. Chinese students coming here instead of going to their native universities sort of proves my point.

No ratings. He wouldn’t have a show or a job without dancing for his assigned audience.

Speaking of, I’m offended that Chinese bitches aren’t trying to honeypot me.

Sure, I’m just an internet shit poster, but it’s not like they’re good at targeting
 
That's a dumb argument. If that were the case the problem isn't that this guy should work more, but that more people should be trained in this "very specific operation" that "hundreds of people" suffer from.
That's a rational response, yes. Increase the available surgeons.

The people screaming "healthcare is a human right!" don't think that way. They would not respond to the proposition as you did. They would instead start explaining how the only available surgeon must start working 16 hour days, 7 days a week. Then they'll start in on how to "prioritize" patients -- who deserves brain surgery more than the others?

They can really only conceive of "shoving more throughput into a pipe;" the concept of "adding more pipes" is foreign to them.

Also, even if they do stumble upon the "add more surgeons" argument, then you get to ask how many hours they should work, how much they should be paid, who should pay them, where that money should come from, and whether they should still be kept on (and paid) if the demand for brain surgery goes back down.

They never think that far ahead, so all of these questions break their brains. It's really funny, and you should seriously try it.

What, are they going to steal their own research?

Huh.

That sounds an awful lot like a call to insurrection.

I mean, just based on what was crammed down my throat by the MSM, the FBI, and the DOJ. Yeah, that, um, that sounds exactly like a call for violent insurrection.
 
They wish
I am so fucking erect right now. You guys have no idea. I've been saying for years that I wanted to send all these fucks to Guantanamo Bay and let them rot. Everyone said I was crazy. Nobody agreed with me. I wanted it so bad. I wanted it SO SO BAD. But fuck Charlie and his golden ticket, sometimes wanting it more than anything else, really is enough!!!!!
 
There is so little buyers remorse that all the Left Wing/Centrist YouTubers are going ‘good get rid of all the illegals, slash all the prices’
until 10 minutes ago protecting wages by preventing illegal labor was a left wing idea

they should be criminally prosecuting businesses that hire illegal workers (And deporting the illegals ofc) if we want to stop this at the source
 
JoCo, Crimedotte, and whatever topeka or Wichita is are always to blame.

Ideally once h1B and illegals are are gone, JoCo and Crimesotte are less faggy
JoCo is Lawrence, right? There's no fixing it as long as KU is there. The whole town needs to be wiped out.
Lawrence is Douglas County, about 30 minutes west. But JoCo sends a ton of its snot-nosed kids to KU for college, and has myriads of bougie faggots and Karens still assblasted about Sam Brownback.

Laura Kelly's a liberal, but hasn't done anything to get pissed off about.
 
They're kind of lazy.
It might also be that they're unsure of the mineral grades of their natural reserves. They're known for their rare earths but their coal is famously shit lol. Africa is has always been a very high industrial grade playground for minerals and ore so they must deemed it worth it. Also it's a useful release valve for their incel male population from 1 child policy severely lopsiding the ratio of the sexes there. A load of Chinese men that can't get a Chinese woman or settle down with a SEA woman might bite the bullet and bag an African for a cushy position in Africa on the company compound.
 
This fucking piece of shit was raping children in the Dominican Republic. The feds knew he did. In 2015 they let the media publish that they knew but he stayed in office for almost another decade.
