@marcorandazza WFH is career suicide

So in other words, age discrimination?

@chrishume_ I smoked like 5 darts a month before I moved to china, within a week I was smoking half a pack a day and by the end of the first 60 days I smoked at least a pack a day and that lasted the next 3.5 years

How to become a chain smoker in 48 hours

@chrishume_ Give it some time. He regurgitates whatever direction the wind blows, usually a day late and a dollar short

@TDeinnocentis I’m starting to like Derek 😂

If you tag a fashion person on my posts you go straight to jail

@michaelmiraflor @rfkenmore It’s Actually W.L. Gore

@rfkenmore This tweet was for the normies and not for you. Also the proper spelling is Gore-Tex. Shame on you.

Vibram-material outsoles on footwear has a similar halo effect as "Intel Inside" had for PCs in the 90s.

Marty Supreme was kind of an asshole

@Molson_Hart They are actually being canceled because they can’t upgrade the grid quick enough

If Americans don't want data centers, reindustrialization will be impossible. Data centers have - No truck/car traffic - No toxic chemicals - No noxious odors - Minimal noise - No pollution It's better for residents than almost every factory. I understand that they use power and water, but factories do too. Peoples' minds need to change because these data centers will be essential to productivity going forward.

@Seanfrank @XH_Lee23 I had a dozen merchandisers on my team making this or better back in 2015. Maybe a top 10% lifestyle out of 1.4b people but a very achievable wage in Pearl River Delta

@XH_Lee23 Huge earning for China. This is someone living a top 10% lifestyle

A 36-year-old American left the US and made a cost-of-living experiment in China. "If all the stars aligned perfectly, I'll be here forever in Shenzhen." A family of 4 (month): 💰Earning $4,700 🏠Rent $1,000 🥬Groceries $100 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦Kindergarten $300 (two kids) 🏥Healthcare $90 ...

@michaelmiraflor Some of his finest work

AdAge: Chipotle hires Fernando Machado as chief brand officer "Fernando Machado, a decorated marketer best known for his work with Burger King, has been appointed chief brand officer at Chipotle Mexican Grill, effective June 1, the restaurant chain announced today. He will report to CEO Scott Boatwright and joins as Chipotle seeks to reverse a sales decline."

@Seanfrank @veizau You ever advertise on twitch?

@veizau The big problem in all this is that twitch is a kids platform. Twitch, owned by Amazon, has essentially become softcore porn for 14 year olds. That’s fucked up and weird. I don’t care what anyone does- But let’s move this stream to an adult site.

Twitch CEO Dan Clancy responds to Morgpie having a human slave on stream “It doesn’t violate our TOS, and she wasn’t viewbotting. As far as I’m concerned, this also appears to be consensual. I admire the innovation streamers bring to the platform.”

@MattJMcClintock @1620usa I’m long embroidery services! We had been outsourcing for nine years, just one order from a leading golf brand nearly paid for the machine.

@TDeinnocentis @1620usa That is a pretty piece of machinery you got there!

Added an Embroidery Machine to our factory machine list today! @1620usa #americanmade

@chrishume_ The Fish that ate the Whale

I have a 14 hour drive this week What audio book will change my life?

@Seanfrank @RnaudBertrand So you’re telling me you actually haven’t spent any time in china

@RnaudBertrand There are also so few Americans in China the sign wouldn’t make any sense It’s like someone in DC having a “NO FINNISH PEOPLE ALLOWED” sign

This is almost certainly fake (a real Chinese food stall with a Photoshopped or AI-modified sign in English and japanese). This type of discrimination is illegal under China's Consumer Rights Protection Law and, contrary to popular belief, the Chinese government is actually very careful to prevent the development of any hostile feelings towards foreigners. I experienced it myself through a funny personal anecdote. A few years ago I was asked to write an article for Chinese media on how similar the US's attack on Huawei was to what they did to France's Alstom. It's true, it's eerily similar. In my article, I criticized France's government because - unlike China - they didn't defend Alstom. Macron - as Finance Minister at the time - signed off on the deal that dismembered a French national champion in favor of the Americans. In effect, he let the American pressure campaign succeed, despite the fact they quite literally kidnapped a French citizen (Frédéric Pierucci) and put him in a US prison as leverage, much like they'd done with Meng Wanzhou in Huawei's case. You'd think that a French citizen saying - which was factual - that the Chinese government had been more courageous than his own government would be welcome messaging, right? Wrong, this part of my article was completely edited out. That's how strict the line is on cultivating hostility toward any foreign country: even when the foreigner himself is the one volunteering the criticism, even when the facts are on his side, even when the comparison flatters China. So the notion that there'd be local street food markets in Beijing with vendors hanging blatant discriminatory "We don't sell to Americans" signs - in markets that see maybe a handful of American tourists a month, if that - is absurd. You don't print a sign for customers who don't exist, all the more when showing such a sign is illegal.

@rfkenmore Tough to manage expectations with knits

@svincenzi @chrishume_ Have you ever tried making anything in the USA?

This is why people hate American made

@STEFisDOPE @ellad3vi @quiescentminded Not true, camo came out of the Vietnam war. In the 80’s and early 90’s it was not fashionable because the war was still fresh and there was respect for the Vets who used it as a form of signaling they served. 90’s hiphop/skate brought it mainstream. Still don’t see desert camo

@ellad3vi @quiescentminded people have been rocking camo and military surplus gear, outside of that context, around the world, for decades. Military jackets. Bomber jackets. Camo pants. Camo cargos. Have all been working-class style for 40-50 years.

chloe iris kennedy said it best regarding lockheed martin streetwear

@paulg @Txp_RBI_Xctuxl When I was there in 2010-2015 they had shipped all the old stamping molds to china and were making/selling the E39 5 series as new 10 years after it was discontinued in the west. Same for the VW Jetta. Now the pendulum has swung

@Txp_RBI_Xctuxl I've often wished they'd make just one model in the old, clean, Leica style. They used to be so good at this. I wonder if they don't dare, because they'd then be whispering that the rest of their designs are aimed at the unsophisticated.

The reason BMW and Mercedes design language has gone from understated class to this cartoonishly gaudy look is because China is one of their biggest markets. It's spiritually 3rd world. It's African dictator tier.

@michaelmiraflor Industry will innovate and the people need fridge cigarettes. I am long @tetrapak

Guess where a lot of global supply of aluminum is shipped through?!? Even worse for global supply of helium right now.

@michaelmiraflor Feel the same. Disappointing

You’d think given their brand positioning, Palantir would base their merch off of iconic Americana vs… a French chore coat silhouette. An iconic item with roots in French blue collar work, and Bill Cunningham (legendary fashion photog). The opposite of American exceptionalism.
