Mr Trump may find he can quite easily sustain his supporters' morale by continuing to goad the very people - liberal bloggers, tweeters and Hollywood luvvies - who hate him most. For what those inhabitants of coastal bubbles of privilege (and they include you, Meryl Streep) do not seem to appreciate is how many ordinary Americans despise them.

In a high school in Utah, USA, 11th graders were given an assignment to go on a $5 date after consulting handouts with separate “tips� for boys and girls, created by and for each other. Suggestions for the young women? “Be feminine,� “Eat the food you order. Don’t waste his money,� “Don’t fish for compliments, “Show respect for him,� and, “If you think you’re too fat, etc., keep it to yourself.�

Something most non-polyglots fail to realize, is that the language you use (even when thinking to yourself), does affect your character and personality to a slight degree. Think about this : mentally speak to yourself in English, then in your 2nd language, do you notice a slight difference in your character or personality? This is due to how the human brain works. This also explains why polyglots have a richer, more diverse experience and thinking, as each different language opens up a whole new world of a a different culture.
Comparing Korean, Japanese and Chinese languages, and how each affects your character and personality in a different way :

Being pragmatic Singaporeans with a not-in-my-backyard mentality, this Malaysia-Singapore problem seems to be much worse than the SouthChinaSea territorial problems, but in actual fact, the risk of an actual war breaking out is way worse in the SouthChinaSea problem. #perspective yo.

Movie intended for dog lovers exposed by whistleblower with video evidence of dog abuse (at least fanatical dog lovers will see it as dog abuse, but to be fair to the staff on set, they did try to balance the needs of their job, with the dogs' welfare ; it wasn't deliberate malicious abuse).

I gotta say, Donald Trump has been the most fun (ie. fun to make fun of) president ever in the history of the United States. And his term hasn't even started yet.

[Singapore] - The Bangladesh laborer is struggling to recover his $7k unpaid wages from the employer, who everyone thinks is the rich local bad guy. But it's not so straightforward. Turns out the employer is also a Bangladesh national, and is now himself broke, because he, in turn, is himself struggling to recover $100k in unpaid wages from a contractor.
Reminds me of something a friend, who worked at one of the largest real estate developers in Singapore for over a decade, once shared : the biggest players in the real estate industry in Singapore (and no doubt all over the world), often outrageously bully the many smaller contractor companies they hire (to do the actual supply & construction works), by abusing clauses in their contracts (which the smaller contractor companies have no choice but to accept, otherwise the contract will go to someone else) that allow them to legally withhold and delay payment for extended period of times, so much so that in my friend's time working in that real estate developer giant (hint : 1 of the top 3 biggest and richest in Singapore), he has seen many (literally dozens) of SMEs go bankrupt as a result of withheld payment.
Even my friend himself (who worked his way up to a mid-level position for the real estate developer position before he left) says he knows it's an obvious, blatant, unjustified abuse of power, of the big rich developer company bullying the poor desperate-for-contracts SMEs, and in my friend's own words, is "seriously bad karma" (when SMEs consequently go bankrupt, many employees get retrenched, lose their jobs, and a few of the SME owners, consequently saddled with insurmountable debts, actually commited suicide).
Unfortunately, it's an entrenched industrial practice with the law on their side (obviously the real estate giants can hire the best lawyers to craft biased contracts and to handle disputes in their favor), so that's little my friend (or anyone in that position) as an individual can do about it.
But are you really surprised? In the biggest industries involving the biggest money (eg. finance, pharma, etc), corruption is to be expected. Welcome to humanity. Welcome to physical incarnation. Welcome to Earth.
Edited to add : the Bangladeshi employer who can't pay the Bangladeshi worker the $7k, because he himself is struggling to get the $100k owed to him by a contractor? Don't be surprised if the contractor himself is struggling to pay the $100k to the Bangladeshi employer, because he himself is being owed millions by the real estate property developer (like the one my friend worked in). See the cascading effect of ruin to so many innocent poor people as a result of the unethical billionaires at the top of the real estate developer giants?
