Origin of the "It's so Tiresome" Meme, a Belgian crew follows around Chinese Railway Company supervisors trying to build a tarmac road with Congolese.

Tiresome incompetence ensues.

I saw this a while ago. Talk about culture shock. The black guy at the end looks like he wants to kill the Chinese boss. The Chinese boss doesn't realize that 'constructive criticism' isn't quite the same amongst these semi retarded workers. There is no bridge to acculturation.

I also saw it maybe two years ago. One amazing thing is the African guy who speaks Chinese. No one explains how he learned that.

The clip where the manager explains to the Chinese-speaking African why Africa is so backwards is spot-on.

Lao Yang is the modern day based Confucius - here are some of his greatest hits:

“You were governed by a European country for so long. You should have learned how things work…. Experience should be passed on. Only that way can you develop. You went backwards instead of forwards.”

“Look at your railways. High technology from the 1930s. We didn’t have it in China back then... You neglected the things others had left you. What’s more, you completely destroyed them. It will take generations to put things right.”

“They first constructed this road in 1954. More than 50 years ago. Since the Belgians built it you guys did nothing to maintain it…. Unbelievable. You can’t imagine the effort it took to built it. The infrastructure has gone to waste. It hurts to see it.” ...

California is not a failed state. It is going exactly as planned as a plunder and pilfer state. It shows you the natural history of CCP and socialist subversions resulting in a centralized aristocracy succeeding through stolen elections and corruption i.e. banana republic. Half the water flowing into the state is dumped back into the Pacific for 'environmental' reasons but really for the old Chinatown Noah Cross strategies that if you control the water in a desert state, you control the state. Fake shortages and increased taxes and fees follow, and agriculture and development are dominated by cruel apparatchiks.

The main issue is the dazed and confused LibbyFuck limousine liberals still think they have enclave hiding places where they can wave their Ukraine flags. The enclaves are shrinking and the fences and guard towers are going up, also like a banana republic.

Did Pacific Palisades and Malibu DEW attacks wake anybody up? I haven't heard much. It is more like the California nightmare of permits and petit petty bureaucracies are torturing them while the ashes lie fallow. "Why would they do this to us? We were Kang Elites of the coast and Hollywood?"

I tend to think the Pali/ Malibu thing was either an error of targeting or a re-targeting by some counter agency. The original plan was to burn out 60 to 70 percent of Central LA, not the upper scale class in Pasadena or Pali.

I presume CA is much like IL. They probably have a prevailing wage and/or unions. Basic jobs that used to cost $20/employee are up to $40-50/employee. Then overtime.

The guys that work on my wife's crews can make about $130/hr during the late season to get jobs done overtime pay.

Also unions are just mafia. They shook down her work just like you'd see in the Soprano's. They're too big now, but when smaller they'd have to hire flaggers (stop/slow paddles) from the union at something like $60/hr. It was a do nothing job. They'd have to get a break every 2 hours. It was do nothing mafia jobs. They also would litter like ass holes they are. Just bring a damn grocery bag and toss it at the end of the day.

Wouldn't work in CA (no plastic bags - found out the hard way), but either way, littering pisses me off.
