🧵 I was a Zionist a few years ago - Here’s the full story

When I was young I proudly raised the Israeli flag, so I want to talk a little bit about what happened since then

I grew up learning that Israel is "surrounded by enemies" so it’s a miracle we got to survive that we must serve in (1/8)

“Of the 80 Bollywood films released in 1975, barely 15 or 30 reflected the hopes, fears and complexities of the time the society was grappling with. Yet, it is considered a landmark year — an evocative and richly layered transformative year in cinema.” #DesiWatch 📽️📚❤️

As shutdown enters its 3rd week, expect it to impact the economy “in a nonlinear fashion.

“.. missed paychecks, slower pace of business investment ..

“.. our initial estimate of a 0.1% drag on GDP is now outdated, and we expect a 0.25% drag per week, or 1% per month.”

I am bored and decided to Google whatever the hell American Gravy is

Turns out it's a restaurant group that, as far as I can tell, has one (1) open restaurant. The other 4 brands have all their locations closed.

So this dude is literally just A Guy That Owns a Seafood Restaurant in California
