The American Dream

No one would have bet on Jérémy, stuck behind the counter of a video store, or on Bouna, who cleans airports. With no money, no connections, and speaking painfully poor English, who could have predicted they’d one day become big-name agents in the NBA ? What they lack in experience, they will make up for in audacity, while remaining true to their one credo, doing business with a human touch. Scouting raw talent while improvising their way up, they’ll fake it until they make it – chasing their American Dream and landing multi-million-dollar deals.

A funny(?) consequence of #TheAmericanDream is that people #vote against their own interests, and instead vote for policy for the situation they #aspire to (e.g., tax breaks for #billionaires).

This post is about the #Epstein files.

Well, there will be no jokes on Donald Trump..
America is makeing a new experience with their first time in history fascist #president
Mind blowing… just as you can read in German history: nobody believed it was possible what #hitler created within no time…
Claim back #theamericandream and #freedomofspeech !! Where are the protests? It’ll get only worse… wake up #usa

„Es war zwei Uhr morgens, sie befand sich immer noch im Büro und wartete darauf, dass Xerox kooperierte. Wäre sie nicht so müde gewesen, hätte sie es lustig gefunden, dass ein Kopierer automatisch die Chance bekam, sich auszuruhen, die Praktikanten hingegen nicht.“

The American Dream, der verspricht, dass du es nach ganz oben schaffen kannst, wenn du nur hart genug arbeitest. Um diesen Traum geht es in "Gratisessen für Millionäre" von Min Jin Lee, übersetzt von Andrea Fischer, erschienen bei dtv.

Casey ist die Tochter koreanischer Einwanderer, die nach ihrem Princeton-Abschluss keinen Arbeitsvertrag in der Tasche hat und sich daraufhin mit ihren Eltern überwirft und auf sich allein gestellt ist. Wir begleiten Casey auf ihrem Weg, der mit einigen Stolpersteinen überrascht und dieses System zeigt, wie hart dieser Weg ist und auch die Frage stellt, ob das überhaupt Sinn macht.

Es geht um Rassismus, Sexismus und eine Reise zurück in die 90er (ihr wisst, diese Zeit, in der wir noch nicht 24/7 erreichbar waren). Ein Buch, das ich mir auch gut als Netflix-Serie vorstellen kann und eine gute Urlaubsbegleitung ist.

Vielen Dan an Mirjam fürs gemeinsame Lesen und unseren Austausch, das war wieder sehr wertvoll!

Hast du das Buch schon gelesen?

“The largest organised vandalism in our nation’s history”.

"Why Sydney’s beaches remain inaccessible is explained by how the city expanded, as well as a mid-20th-century decision described as “organised vandalism” and persistent efforts by beachside locals to limit public transport and a perceived influx of “outsiders”."

Why can’t you catch a train or tram to Sydney’s beaches – and are we dreamin’ to think new rail lines could be built?

Resident objections have toppled proposals in the past. But new light rail routes and metro projects have raised hopes of beach connections

@Philipnschofield beats me. There’s the myth that every USian could be a billionaire if they pulled their socks up and worked harder, therefore the poorest people should help billionaires make more billions.

He's right. #TheAmericandream is to be pd a fair, livable wage for a day's work, to be able to keep a roof over ur head, food on the table, have access to affordable hcare & a good education w/opportunities for everyone, having the right to vote, to love who u love, identify how u identify, & the right to bodily autonomy. It's being able to breath clean air & drink clean water. It's being able to practice any/no religion & not be shot at the movies or wherever.
