Too many fall into the media hyperbole and marketing. I am Canadian and it is so weird for me when i am in the US because the TV commercials and radio adds are so different that what we hear. It is a little disheartening to listen how targeted they are when i cross the border. You can really see the general public through what commercials are played in a country.They were smart and built out a infrastructure that serves the world. While we sat and had unions argue about non-sense. They saw a opportunity and ran with it. I can’t get mad at the Chinese. I am mad at our past leaders for letting America slip so much. When you go to China it becomes clear in about 10 minutes how far we as a country has slipped. Having said that most Americans enjoy a high standard of living.
Geoeconomics is a complex topic. And hate isn’t part of that conversation for me ever. I focus on what’s smart, good, & profitable.
I’m a biz man, never a hater.
I hate ignorance and laziness

Good business means doing business wherever it is, and when all parties do well then it is win win.
Back on topic. One of my favorite Efren scenes was the retirement party pool exhibition they did. He played an opponent that was clearly for fun, and the opponent left him perfect straight in shot and acted like he gifted Efren it. Efren misses the straight in shot by a diamond or two and the crowd moans sadly. Efren walks away giggling and the ball goes 4 or 5 rails and in the pocket he called. Crowd goes wild.
Such a perfectly executed shot and timed hilariously to bait the crowd. Walking away giggling as he did, you could see how much he was enjoying himself.
