The Heir/Tropical Soulvangelical/TSV doesn't make it a habit of getting me the Mentor/Happy Bachelor to talk about his workplace helping customers. But a verbal disagreement between one of the workers and one of the customers for him highlighted the importance of walking with principle and propriety and forsaking personal corruption. He's not going to get into any details as to who was right and who was wrong, but he perceived an importance among some of the customers at least that workers in general abide by a propriety that TSV as per walking with principle tries to adhere to every day of his working life. Not everybody agrees with that, because instead of doing one's best to follow instructions and expectations like TSV tries to, there's a tendency reflected by today's corrupt society to try to get away with -not- following instructions and expectations or doing one's due diligence accordingly. This is why he believes that the Judge Not decree is often misinterpreted. It's not about not having an opinion others may perceive as judgmental, as much as actually -carrying out judgment- is not the job of mere mortals. Only one can judge, so those people TSV sees running around in today's society saying things like "I can do anything I want," or "I can shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and no-one can stop me" will, in fact, be stopped accordingly. But TSV believes it's still within his right to take the position that they should not think for a second their lives are not being watched, as per the Holy Joe comic strip.

The Heir/Tropical Soulvangelical/TSV caught Bloomberg Radio trying to carry astroturf for big tech. He heard them do a "report" on the supposed dangers of "check washing," and their "contact" in the report recommends doing all payments electronically as a supposed "safe" alternative. This is about four months after an astroturf TSV heard on another station about favoring card-tapping over card-stripping, and here's how you know it's an astroturf on audio. They never repeat the report more than once in a row. TSV saw it both with the checkwashing report and the card-tapping report. They don't want the reports to be open to scrutiny, and hence for people to find out that these are not true PSA's. They're just infomercials for big tech possibly because people in general are justifiably not sold on card tapping or exclusive electronic payments. In contrast, TSV recommends -against- overreliance on electronic payments or card tapping. These practices will expose you to hacking by the Kremlin, including but not limited to being victimized by ransomware. That's a far more likelihood than some Giuliani type trying to take your check out of your payment to the power company, and trying to wash out all but your signature so as to give himself free money at your expense.
The Heir/Tropical Soulvangelical/TSV has observed the Ed Snowden Caucus flying its proverbial vultures around the White House -in expectation- that Biden will blink with respect to the debt ceiling. TSV doesn't know what the final agreement is, but he's reasonably optimistic that we won't "default," as per visual's wishes so they can go sensationalize. He doesn't think it's as cut-and-dried as visual portrays. He sees Biden and Kevin McCarthy saying things like well if you give up this we'll agree to raise the ceiling by that. Biden may agree to -only- give up things that are not in and of themselves that controversial to give up, but will earn a bombblast from the Ed Snowdens all the same. Let's say Biden agrees to raise the debt ceiling by 8% if he gives up his pinking shears. Once he does that, the Ed Snowdens will bombblast him for giving up pinking shears, and will make a big deal out of pinking shears that they never did before. All of a sudden the public will have to be "educated" as to what pinking shears are and why it's a "bad thing" that Biden had to give them up. But here's one thing TSV knows he'll never hear from either visual or the Ed Snowdens. Once the debt ceiling is raised, Biden is absolutely free to take back anything he has to give up, so once he takes back his pinking shears, not a peep out of the Ed Snowdens. TSV will himself corner the Ed Snowdens in the halls of the Capitol for comment, and all they're going to have to say is, well it doesn't matter that he got his pinking shears back, because he should never have given them away to begin with. Anything to maintain such a fanatical purism.

Now that Daniel Penny has turned himself in, accused of choking Jordan Neely, the Heir/Tropical Soulvangelical/TSV reiterates the case as an ultimate tragedy. One person's dead, at least one more person's going to jail, and TSV does not see us as having a better understanding of issues like excessive force and self-defense than we did before. TSV's attentions, therefore, are not with the immediate case at hand, but with some of the protests that were going on, like reports of protestors standing on subway tracks and delaying arrival and departure of trains, and a Molotov Cocktail being recovered during arrests of the more disruptive protestors. TSV wants to track those two cases in particular, because he wants subway passengers riding on the protestor-delayed trains to know that they have rights too, and it's within those rights for them to take legal action if they were delayed in getting to a job, resulting in less pay for that day or lowered standing with their employers. In the case of medical professionals being delayed on the trains, their delays threaten the lives of patients at the hospitals where the medical professionals work and care for the patients. As for the case of the Molotov Cocktail, it's not yet known whether cops have someone in custody accordingly, but that person would ultimately be charged with explosive device/weapons charges and possibly reckless endangerment of life. TSV believes these cases may very well go to trial after the Neely/Penny trial proper is over, and will be the cases of focus accordingly. But because TSV sees the Ed Snowden types getting involved in the Neely cases for some reason, he thinks very little of inflammatory comments coming from both AOC and the Neely family attorney that could very well taint the jury pool for both the trial proper and the protestor trials. TSV doesn't see either figure as satisfied over Penny being charged with -second- degree murder or manslaughter as opposed to -first- degree.

It was roughly a month ago that SVB collapsed and had to be rescued, but the Heir/Tropical Soulvangelical/TSV didn't have a chance to talk about it at the time. But now it can be told. SVB stands for Silicon Valley Bank, and as such TSV heard on AM Newsradio that it was a bank for tech startups to retain their capital and revenue as they grow. TSV believes that SVB failed because it was the chickens coming back home to roost on the business model of forced obsolesence, so even though there was also New Republic Bank, TSV reassures investors that banks are -not- failing left and right just because of SVB. For anyone to believe that TSV sees as the moguls of forced obsolesence trying to make -their- problems into -everyone else's- problems. -Our- plans failed so therefore -you're- doomed. Not so much.

The Heir/Tropical Soulvangelical/TSV warns people to be criticially thinking when it comes to what he sees as below-the-fold press claiming that China is somehow a far better international negotiator than he believes it actually is, and is somehow "catching up" with the U.S.. In fact, those made to present such spin TSV sees as retaining the right to outright go "Oh this is B.S." before storming out the studio, Robert Novack -style. The example he heard in passing which was on a -non- business segment of Bloomberg business newsradio had to do with China making some kind of negotiation between Saudi Arabia and Iran on some kind of dispute, and TSV is pretty sure the anti-Biden NPR likely also echo chambered it for Morning Edition when they too did a segment on China The Great Negotiator. But if this is the only example they can come up with, TSV sees that as a very weak case, and not worth using Argument By Repetition over with the echo chamber, because let's look at it this way. These are what TSV observes as two totalitarian dictatorships being negotiated by, wait for it, -another- totalitarian dictatorship. TSV doesn't see this as all that significant, particularly if China hopes to get Ukraine to give up sovereign territory to Russia as part of the Great Negotiation. When President Xi visited President Zelensky, TSV didn't hear on the radio what the results of that visitation was, but does not believe China got Ukraine to give up territory. So that particular negotiation likely has failed with TSV, so so much for The Great Negotiator.
"Hey China, take your Great Negotiation and shove it."-Zelensky very likely
