Man, Jacob Lew seems like a piece of shit, after reading all of that.

If that comes true, I’ll also buy a lottery ticket, for the first time in my life, after 32 years of never gambling (despite having lived in Nevada for 30 years).

It’s been 30 years, but I still read it as “Un Ionized”. Damn you Mr. Johnson, my high school chemistry teacher!

This is rather odd, but I welcome it.

I grew up on Java and have family there and on Bali that I visit all the time. I’m not sure why you would blame foreign tourists when the real problem for Bali is Javanese. There is a fundamental difference in religion between the two islands. Balinese are primarily peaceful Hindu people, whereas Javanese tend more towards militant Islam. The issue is far more complex but I think this article is a bunch of bullshit.

Yeah. Valid points, all. Looking at cost of living vs income is always important as well.

That’s both true and also shifting the blame to the consumer. We should have stronger regulation that is enforceable. Not going to happen in the Trumposphere but nice to think about.

It’s kind of like how we should all think globally and act locally.
