Isn’t this really a generational issue too? At least from my limited life experience - the first generation comes here and moves to an insular community and then subsequent generations assimilate while also keeping some of the norms of the first generation?

Arsenic Lupin posted:It depends. There are religious enclaves in New York State and New York City that only speak Yiddish and whose religious schools barely teach English, and Yiddish-speaking Jews have been around in the USA since the 1820s. However, they're a tiny fraction of New York Yiddish speakers in the 1920s. See also some of the Amish/Mennonite cloud of worshipers. I went to college in Lowell, Mass which is a majority southeast Asian city (split among Vietnamese and Cambodian populations mostly.) My closest friend from college is a second generation person. His parents know enough English to get by and were able to work but from what I’ve gathered is that they prefer he only interacts with his the kids of people they fled the Khmer rouge with. He’s gone as far as to reject the arranged marriage they wanted but he still lives at home at 40 because according to him - it’s what that generation expects.

Regarding the MSW network podcasts, isn’t AG a little controversial at the moment too? She had to apologize for homophobic comments from 2009 today and another friend pointed out some long Twitter fees by a RWNJ that seems to show she lied about service.

Charliegrs posted:There's a good podcast called "Jack" (as in Jack Smith) on Spotify hosted by Andy McCabe and I can't remember the woman lawyers name but she's a good host too. They don't have new episodes every day but they are pretty frequent and quite good. Alison Gill. She also does cleanup on aisle 45, the daily beans, and her network hosted the OA podcast until Torres was revealed as a sexpest

The podcasts "Can" be a little over the top because they have one where Michael Cohen just rants and drops Fbombs with Ben Meiseles - but Legal AF with Meiselas, Ben and Karen Friedman Agnifilo is a good listen.

Court cases take forever. I was just involved as a a defendant in one that spanned 3 states and is still on going in one. One of the people involved in the case has managed to make another case he’s in get delayed repeatedly over 7 years. Given Trump and who is there’s no way he won’t try that tactic.

Any company that gives you a gift card for anything usually isn’t telling you that per IRS rules they have to add the income to your taxable earnings for your w2. It usually comes from some overzealous HR person who wants to help with employee morale and has been granted a yearly budget to do it, which has to be coded a certain way for finance to get a tax write off.
