The group is Bob vylan, but I guess technically both of their stage names are some variation of bob vylan. I just found that out today and wanted to share.

It sounds like he basically made all of that stuff up. His businesses aren't real and he basically lived in a fantasy world while working in the food industry.

That has been my experience as well. The show has made people in my life more open to theory.

They advanced too far and it was way too costly to keep them supplied, that's my guess.

I think the myth is that China isn't capable of producing high quality stuff. We mostly see low quality stuff because a lot of people in the West place orders for those things from China to stock their shelves, but it's just a fraction of what China produces. Western retailers are really the ones who are being cheap by not placing orders for higher quality goods. That's how I have synthesized the information I've seen about the topic.

He missed a day or two of streaming, which harmed his income.

I am deeply apologetic for posting something that came from 4chan. I am trying to do better.

 

Does anyone know anything about this platform or these people? I hope they're going to be on every ballot. Seems like a good vehicle to count how much support there is for communism around the country. vote

"World's Worst Airline" smuglord

North Korea Flies World’s Worst Airline to Beijing for First Time Since 2020

(Bloomberg) -- North Korea’s state airline made its first international trip since the start of the Covid pandemic, in a sign of easing border restrictions that could repatriate its stranded nationals abroad and increase trade with its powerful neighbor.

Flight data indicates than an Air Koryo passenger jet flew from Pyongyang to Beijing on Tuesday, which would be the first such commercial flight in more than three years. China’s Foreign Ministry said this week the country had given permission for the flight. Air Koryo is also set to operate flights on Friday and Aug. 28 between Vladivostok and Pyongyang, according to NK News, a specialist service on North Korea.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un sealed the border at the start of the pandemic in early 2020. The move slammed the brakes on the little legal trade conducted by his heavily sanctioned state and also left stranded North Korea’s diplomats and thousands of workers sent to places such as Russia and China to earn hard currency for Kim’s regime.

In a sign of opening, North Korea last month allowed in high-level delegations from Russia and China for the first time since the start of the pandemic, and this month sent a group of its taekwondo athletes abroad to take part in a championship in Kazakhstan.

Signs of a resumption of trade with China, historically Pyongyang’s biggest partner, led Fitch Solutions to estimate North Korea’s economy returned to growth after two full years of contraction. Still, it added that significant uncertainties still remain.

Air Koryo has previously been ranked among the worst airlines in the world.
