Google, Apple, Disney, the NBA, and China should all merge and promote themselves with the slogan Don't Think
Can't wait to plow my entire 401k into ChinGoopleDiz
I like to think some angry Chinese government official is currently googling for Internet Drunk HQ trying to get me fired
Sorry China, just ask any liquor store: officially banning me does nothing

Heard a great anecdote about Chet Atkins from a guitarist who knew him. Atkins was playing a small solo club gig in Nashville, and after a song an audience member said, "man that old guitar sounds great."

Atkins put the guitar on its stand and replied, "How does it sound now?"
I don't mind people who are arrogant, as long as they have a reason to be arrogant
yes I'm sure you'd have your fellow audience members enthralled with your clever ripostes to Mr. Atkin's musical hubris

Perspective: you're probably an asshole if you don't leave 20% tip, but you're probably an asshole if you think you're entitled to a 20% tip
fear of karma demands I always tip 20%, but I am sorely tested every time I buy something from a one-guy food truck and he flips over that iPad with suggested tip options
I have a shitload of karma to correct, and not a lot of time to do it

Today's #DavesCarIDService begins with an appreciative hat tip to Harry Bergeron for solving yesterday's mystery car
I'm gonna say a circa 1910 Cadillac touring, or a circa 1912 E-M-F touring. Accessory headlight gas tank on the running board.
E-M-F was for Everitt-Metzger-Flanders; Metzger was one of the founders of Cadillac, so there's a lot of resemblance between them. E-M-F was bought by Studebaker and name disappeared a few years later. Everitt went on to make cars under his own name.

How Mainland #China 'Lost its Humanity': Mainland Chinese once had as much compassion as Hongkongers, but decades of repression have produced cynicism, writes Anastasia Lin 👍Good one👍 macdonaldlaurier.ca/mainland-china…
My communist education in China was half political indoctrination. Youths were encouraged to demonise “the government’s enemy”, including Western democracies, Christians, Tibetans, Falun Gong practitioners and now Hong Kong protesters.
We feared repercussions if we challenged such rhetoric, and were rewarded for using extreme language and action to marginalise and demonise the targeted minority.

#China wants to seek a "calm" end to its ongoing trade war with the U.S., as #AsianMarketsCrumbled and #ChinaCurrencyPlummeted to an 11-year low following the latest #tariffs on #550billion in Chinese goods announced last Friday by #TrumpAdministration
foxnews.com/politics/china…
News of the possible opening in negotiations came shortly after @realDonaldTrump threatened to declare a national emergency that would result in American businesses freezing their relationships with China, by imposing its own retaliatory tariffs on $75 billion in U.S. goods.
@realDonaldTrump In response, Chinese Vice Premier Liu He told a state-controlled newspaper on Monday that "China is willing to resolve its trade dispute with the United States through calm negotiations and resolutely opposes the escalation of the conflict"

Secret Deal for #Chinese Naval Outpost in #Cambodia Raises #US Fears of Beijing’s Ambitions - Use of Ream naval base would help China’s military project power across a broad swath of Southeast Asia wsj.com/articles/secre…
China has signed a secret agreement allowing its armed forces to use a Cambodian navy base near here, as Beijing works to boost its ability to project military power around the globe, according to U.S. and allied officials familiar with the matter.
The pact—signed this spring but not disclosed by either side—gives China exclusive rights to part of a Cambodian naval installation on the Gulf of Thailand, not far from a large airport now being constructed by a Chinese company.

Google is working to destroy America. It's not a secret anymore.

It is all out in the open now.

Yet nothing is being done about it. The FBI should already be balls deep into Goolag. Tearing them a new a-hole.

But they ain't.

The inaction of people is destroying America.
If Trump can break Google & Amazon before those two can establish their AI corporate extraterritoriality technocratic state then not only will USA be saved, the world too. Google is using China, using it to design its model for a cybernetic tyranny far worse than anything
Huxley and Orwell imagined. Mark of the Beast with the social credit system meets Orwells Alexa/Google Assistant following you everywhere you go & you can't escape it while society just implodes into a soma induced coma state with orgy porgy and lack of any identity, even family.

🔴 Exclusive: Google suspends some business with Huawei after Trump blacklist - source. #TradeWars

Reuters reports that Google is suspending some business with the Chinese manufacturer

<POTENTIALLY DESTABILIZING FOR #Huawei's PHONES TRADE, IF ACCURATE>

reuters.com/article/us-hua…
If report is accurate, Huawei could be restricted to using the Android Open Source Project (ASOP), losing access to [Android] updates, which would cut the company off from critical Google apps that consumers outside of China expect on Android devices.
Rumors say that Huawei was already preparing its own operating systems in the event of being banned from using Android and Windows, but given US fears about foreign interference, a home-grown OS is likely to face even more scrutiny than Google’s software❗️
