That old bootstrap narrative? California Asians don't believe it.

A joint survey showed that roughly 55 percent of AAPI surveyed in California disagree with the narrative of “pulling yourself up by the bootstraps.”

This is a 'digested' news piece based on the extensive California AAPI work survey that I shared a few days ago on #chtownNews. Might be of interest - good talking points for many of you.

California Heiress Posts ‘Unprecedented’ $35M Bail After Allegedly Plotting to Kill Her Ex

A California murder suspect accused of killing the father of her two children posted a $35 million bail on Thursday morning

This is all over the Bay area news channels - it’s not directly relevant to our game, but I did think it showcases an interesting web of Chinese American/ Chinese media interests when it comes to scandal, crime, and...real estate.

Li has been portrayed as the mastermind/manipulator in the murder and a "significant" flight risk. She's also supposed to be connected to some deep SF Chinese money rumored to be wrapped up in political elite and gangs and such. (Local gossip is that "dirty" SF Chinese money is hidden/laundered in Peninsula real estate and business deals.)

Big talk coming out of a state that voted for a grubby, disgusting con man.
