Do we really need a Breaking Bad movie? The series already had the perfect ending (Walter Bad saying “Maybe I’ll try breaking good for a change”)

I thought it was Walter Breaking saying, “I was born to be bad” and then doing the Forbidden Dance of the Mithraists to the George Thorogood song. That’s how I remember it, anyway.
I know it makes me SO RACIST but housing should be for the people who actually live there.
If the biggest disaster in your life was Trump getting elected, first of all, you haven’t lived much of a life and second, you’re a huge fucking numpty.
at least once a day, i have to secretly google something that one of my coworkers said. sometimes even during a meeting with them.

I am usually the person making other people Google. I don’t mean to. I just read a lot. I’m not sorry, though.
To be fair, over the years I have lost all sense of what other people know and what’s “common knowledge,” and I don’t even bother to keep track as it’s just too tedious.
PC sales are growing despite processor shortages. A million more PCs were sold year-over-year.
But, but…PCs are dead! Smartphones and tablets have killed them!
Hope this teaches more than a few people to be skeptical of press hype and two-bit propaganda. But it won’t.
Amazing: this new Fox poll shows the groups that most trust the CIA – THE CIA! – are liberals, Democrats & Clinton voters. 77% of Dems trust the CIA; only 22% don't. 64% of liberals trust CIA; 22% don't.

What the ever-livin’ fuck.
I know people have problems with the H-1b program. Some of those are even legitimate problems (though often exaggerated).
But I'm starting to wonder if racist attitudes against South Asians play a role in the general opposition to the H-1b program.

Apart from the fact that H-1B hires often are worse at the job, the reason they are so loved by corporations is because H-1Bs will work more cheaply, are easier to abuse (they can’t just leave), and often have no/few family attachments in country so will be willing to do things like work 14 hour days for weeks. I’ve seen H-1B hires brought on for half or less for what the pay should be for that position. (And yes, I’ve been directly involved in hiring so I know exactly what everyone’s salary was.)
So, no, I do not support more H-1B visas in the US, as it harms American workers and allows corporations to commit wage and time theft with impunity.
But this is the neolib playbook, isn’t it? If you object to American and foreign workers being abused and exploited by global liquid capital, it’s certain proof that you’re racist.
