@MidwestGolfJake We don't like him because his cronyism in picking his bros caused Keegan to be picked as captain for the next one

We can pick apart Zach's Ryder Cup captaincy, but most US Captains lose, and Jordan Spieth probably hits it in the water with driver anyway. And yes, Zach has said stupid stuff. 99% of humanity has done the same. Respect the man's game and career!

People discount Zach's accomplishments because he won both of his majors on fluke weather weeks. But, if you've played spring golf in Iowa you know why Zach won those 2 majors.
Rick Golfs@Top100Rick

Is Zach Johnson the reverse Rickie Fowler? Rickie is beloved and created a giant following without winning a major. Zach Johnson won a Green Jacket and a Claret Jug…he won majors at Augusta and The Old Course! And yet is mostly a butt of the joke.

This exchange between Tucker Carlson and Professor Jiang Xueqin on the current state of Canada is worth watching. TUCKER: You mentioned Canada. Most Americans don't even know the capital of Canada. Canada does not appear on their radar, doesn't figure in their thoughts. But you described it as probably, quote, probably the richest country in the world. I think that's objectively true. And yet Canada is not a rich country. In fact, it's getting poorer. Its life expectancy is declining. Its GDP is declining, and that's on purpose. The nation of Canada has been suppressed on purpose. Its population is being killed off by the state through its assisted suicide program and its population is changing through mass immigration against the will of the population. So that country is being held down on purpose. And my question is, by whom and why? JIANG: Sure. That's a great question. And it's something that I struggle with all the time because I am a Canadian citizen. I went to school there. So my answer is that Canada was never really a nation-state. It's more of a glorified resource colony for the British, the city of London and the reality is now that the British are under a lot of strain, the state of London is under a lot of financial pressure. It sees places like Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. And what do you do if you have financial issues? You do corporate restructuring, right? You change the middle management. right and historically you know the British got along very well with the Indian elite right they went into India and stole tons of dollars from uh the indians and the Indian elite were perfectly happy to help them so why not use the same model for Australia and for Canada So there are millions of Indians who immigrated to Canada in the past five years and it's put a lot of strain on the Canadian economy because housing prices have exploded and so ordinary Canadians can no longer afford to buy a house. And it's put tremendous pressure on the Canadian welfare system, on the Canadian economy. And you would think that the proper strategy would have a moratorium where they're like, you know what, we've had too many immigrants and we need to close the borders and absorb these immigrants because we want to ensure that these immigrants have proper housing, they have decent jobs, right? You would think that that'd be the right strategy. And instead, Mark Carney goes to India and says, we want more Indians, and also, we'll give you scholarships to come to Canada to study for free. Meanwhile, there are a lot of Canadians who are homeless, who are unemployed, and who cannot put food on the table. But hey, we want more Indians. So if it's not corporate restructuring, if it's not trying to asset strip Canada, I really don't understand the strategy for this. TUCKER: Well, I mean, it's a kind of genocide against Canadians, people whose ancestors built the country, but you wonder what the purpose is. Because it is happening all over the West, all over the English speaking world in the white countries. And it's not an accident, it's not organic. So it's a big picture that spans from Australia to Ottawa.

My housing hot take is that WP KL and its inner suburbs (PJ and Ampang especially) should actively upzone landed suburbs to look like this 4-5 storey apartments with ground-level retail Existing ones in the city centre (These are in Bukit Bintang) should be high-rise apartments

Msians should stop looking down/ sneering at other countries which are scrambling to respond to the consequences of the Iran conflict. Malaysia is not an exception. We are going to be hit hard. We need to prepare. 1/n

When Eisenhower was asked why the United States did not allow the 1956 Vietnamese reunification elections agreed upon at Geneva, he answered with unusual honesty. He said that if elections were held, Hồ Chí Minh would win with approximately 80 percent of the vote. So they cancelled the elections. Think about that every time an American politician talks about "spreading democracy." They cancelled the democratic election because the "wrong" person would win. They then spent the next two decades killing people to prevent the government that would have been democratically elected from taking power. And they called the other side anti-democratic. This is not ancient history. This is the logic that still governs every "democracy promotion" operation today. Democracy is acceptable when it produces the "right" results. When it does not, you cancel the election, back a coup, fund the opposition, impose sanctions, and call the government that the people actually chose a "dictatorship." Vietnam exposed this logic completely. Not with arguments. With history. With the receipts.

19 year old Iranian wrestling champion Saleh Mohammadi was just publicly executed for protesting against the Islamic Regime. So, to all liberal Westerners: Watch and learn. This is what it’s like to ACTUALLY live in a nation with no free speech.

I've never related to the whole, "Asia is so cheap!" thing because I could never relate to moving halfway around the world, just to live in a tiny shoebox apartment, eat street food daily, and ride motorbikes in super dangerous conditions LMAO. Yes Asian megacities do offer better quality of living but to properly enjoy them, in terms of high end homes, actually riding around in cars, eating at great restaurants, traveling whenever you want, treating people you like to good experiences, you need to be at minimum 8K+ Month USD in monthly earnings IMO. The game is the game everywhere, to really enjoy life, gotta be stacking it.

People really don't seem to understand that Malaysia is basically a first world economies at this point. Salaries are even higher there for most tech roles than in London + most European cities now. Especially around Penang, which is very notable given its not the main economic engine of the country but is a huge semiconductor/engineering hub, and around Johor, which is Southeast Asia's data hub. The world has transformed massively in the past generation. The Malaysian Century.
Nikkei Asia@NikkeiAsia

Malaysia has overtaken Japan in salaries for key technology roles for the first time, driven by rising investment in the booming semiconductor industry and intensifying competition in digital sectors. s.nikkei.com/40D2o4E

I met a Spanish guy at a local dive bar. He said he's a teacher with an academy. So I asked, "So how much do they pay for that?" "About €1,000." "Okay, but what is it before tax?" "No, that's before tax." Me: 😐
