    I have a friend from Thailand who has only enough clothes to fit in a suitcase. If he buys new clothes he gives away his old clothes. He saved money like no one I’ve ever met. Never ate out unless he was treating you. And he’d work as much as our store would allow him to. His English wasn’t great and he couldn’t read well in English so he’d have me help him with his bank statements. I remember seeing him going from $1,000 to $5,000 in 3 months. He had to have saved almost every penny other than rent since we made about $2,500 per month where we worked

    People had always suggested donating leftover food when I did restaurant management. The issue is the storage and transportation of the food to a shelter. If anyone ate the food and got sick the restaurant could be held liable. If food sits out past a certain point or the temp gets out of range it could cause food poisoning and has to be tossed.

    1:19:44 That is such a profound thought/saying. When I think about it, I can see why anger dissolves over time. I think, “what happened to you to act this way? I feel sad that you experienced that. It doesn’t excuse what you’ve done, but I can at least try to understand. I wish innocent/young you had a better life. I wish that can change for you in the future.”

    @1:06:00 I think the racism that we encounter in those situations of "being racist against the group your intrinsically a part of" comes from viewing someone as a part of the group, and not as an individual. Which is wrong. The "group" doesn't have feelings to hurt, but individual people do, and when we reduce someone to the narrow intersection of their personhood and group identity, it's really hurtful. And the heck of it that's often unintentional.

    @40:59 I understand Graham, the thing is. Most of us find being a content creator as intangible. Yes it is possible to become an influencer but it will take time. It can take 2-3 years to maybe 5 plus years. Now a side hustle means to me. If I can apply for a job: it means i already have what I need and possibly the experience to get that side Job. It offers flexibility and a sustained hourly wage or paycheck. It has a means to an end. It provides me with the hope to cancel debt, save a few extra $$, or possibly early retirement. For me personally, it’s helping me pay off debt, save money 💵, and staying afloat.

    41:25 Oddly enough, depending on when you found the creator and how much of their stuff you have watched, I have noticed KZread recently recommend a lot of content from a year or two ago. I think it also heavily relies on how much content the channel has available, so if you have someone that does daily content you might not see those pop as much as let's say a weekly podcast like this.

    Re the expensive cars that young Chinese Americans often have, this is what I learned. I was a Lyft Driver in San Francisco from 2015-2020, the city in the US with the highest Chinese population. (Stats: Bay Area is 8% Chinese, SF is 22% Chinese, Bay Area is 30% Asian, 53% of Bay Area Asians are Chinese. Santa Clara county, aka Silicon Valley, has an Asian population of 39%, making it the largest group.) Many of the young, first gen Chinese residents, whose parents emigrated to the US explained it to me this way. In Chinese culture, it is still expected that you be married by 25. Any later and you're kind of damaged goods. More and more were rebelling against this, but that was strong opposition to pressure from parents. One of the things expected of young men seeking to get married is that they have a luxury car, as a show of their earning ability, a kind of peacocking. Many of the young Chinese came from wealthy parents who paid their expensive SF rent while they got their high paid tech careers going. My partner was a tow truck driver and he towed a lot of expensive cars that some 21 year old Chinese kid crashed or spun off the road. One tried to fake an accident by driving his Porsche into the Bay but it was clearly fraud. It's a part of the lower class Chinese culture in SF, too, with gangs of Chinese teenagers who go around the city in fast cars crating havoc. Wearing cliche name brands like Gucci is the behavior of new money, often immigrants, who are trying to buy status when they haven't inherited it. Old money doesn't wear their wealth. They wear quality clothes with holes in them, which is how distressed preppy clothing became a thing, like Gap baseball gaps already frayed at the edges, like you've worn it on 100 trips out on the sailboat.

    When he talks about the off brand things being prevalent, and the off brand KFC, that’s because of how business in China is structured. To open a business in China, you must have a Chinese national with an ownership stake in the company. This gives the Chinese government access to whatever trade secrets, which allows them to legally create a counterfeit product and begin making and selling those counterfeits. So exporting manufacturing to China literally created the foundation for Chinese knockoffs. It’s quite terrible.
