friggin feudalism

We’ve always been lamenting about the brain drain happening in our beloved republic, and when I see folks actually coming back to apply what they’ve learned abroad, it brings joy to my heart.

Take this for example: studying at NYU then becoming a director for a highly-rated TV show here out in the sticks! Imagine that!

Then what happens? A member of the friggin’ elite guns him down, because said director was just trying to stop a fight! The gunman hops in his Ford Expedition/Explorer (trademark gas-guzzler), then escapes!

What will probably happen? The gunman might be taken in, then get off lightly. Meanwhile, others will have one more reason not to come back here after making good abroad, thus depriving the nation of their talent. The gunman will have a sense of entitlement, just because he can afford it, and he’ll go on believing that he’ll never be punished.

Makes me want to bash in the next Expedition I see, but it might be my boss’s, and he’s a good guy.

Hay…. And people in power are wondering why the middle class is flying out in droves??? THIS IS THE REASON!

The director’s just 26 years old, he had a full life ahead of him, and he’s gone now.

This sucks.

let me know since i know a number of ways to bash a car whether it be a gaz-guzzling expedition or an asthmatic 1981 corolla without setting off the alarm,

now it belongs to an elite roxy-sporting, clubbing brat, i probably will suggest one thing that'll surely make him put the gun to his temple: put lighter fluid on the hood and throw a match and walk away. alarm sounds off in a coupla minutes.
...the stuff i learn in college. and i didn't have to go abroad with that!

Ick. Php7Million down the drain. (I'm assuming tuition for masteral studies in New York plus living expenses for two years.) See, that's my point. You spend millions of your parents' money in further education then someone whacks you or runs over you with some mean gas-guzzler. In two minutes, you're dead and your parents will be poor till they die.

the thing is, he grew up there, then came back here. so i assume his parents have the corresponding income in dollars, not pesos.

he was even a valedictorian in the high school in jersey for crying out loud....
