It was because he looked like a negro. He wasn't really a negro but a
bi-racial guy raised in an Asian-American culture. That didn't matter
because a lot of Americans can only see the color of a person's skin. The
hatred was so strong that I thought America needed to elect that guy that
currently sits in the white house because that would have satiated the
haters and act as a safety valve. Boy was I wrong! These days, half the
country hates the other half.
 
2020 is an important point in history as it marks our country's place as the
greatest power in the world being handed over to the Chinese - just as your
country handed over the crown to the Americans some 70 years ago.
 
BTW, thanks for doing that! 🤴🤠

Doing what???
 
I am horrified by what you have described:(
 
Your power is being handed over to the Chinese? Oh dear:(

We've certainly abdicated our place in the geopolitical landscape. I'm
quite sure the Chinese will be happy to step in.

The Chinese have the technology, manufacturing capability, and expertise, in making widgets. They have a growing middle class that's hungry for manufactured goods. They are like post war America in the 50's.
 
America has a shrinking middle class with 1% of the population having almost as much money as the 99% under them. The 1% is also interested in stacking the deck even more in their favor in order to acquire more money. Most of this wealth is being hidden away untaxed. The future doesn't look too good for most Americans.

Friday night: Barbecued tofu "steaks," grilled zucchini, baked tater tots.
 
https://photos.app.goo.gl/R4qV8eGTrxz1mApG6
 
I had a block of extra firm tofu that needed to get used, but I didn't want some standard Asian thing, so I said, "Abracadabra! You're a pork cutlet!" Coated slabs with oil and a dry rub and allowed it to "marinate" for several hours before grilling. Some commercial BBQ sauce was wiped on toward the end to carmelize.
 
Saturday night: Home made pizza. Mrs. B: broccoli, ripe olives, and anchovies. Me: sausage and onion. Decided to use a mix of cheeses: mozzarella, cheddar, and parmesan. Home made crust and sauce too. I always make more than I need and use the excess dough to make a small loaf of bread, which is why you see one in the photos.

You can buy a lot of paper napkins for the cost of a cloth one.

It's a square of cotton cloth, printed with a pattern. He prefers
red or black.
 
He whips it out of his pocket, blows and/or wipes his nose, folds it
carefully and puts it back in his pocket.
 
Sometimes if he hasn't already used it for that purpose, he'll wipe
his glasses with it.

You can use a cloth napkin lots of times.
 
How much does a cloth napkin cost? I've got some, and they're
_not_ double damask linen. I bet I didn't pay a buck apiece for
the ones I already have.
 
I also have a bin full of fabric in the basement. If I'd a mind, I
could make more napkins than I will use in my lifetime.

And then factor in the cost and time spent of laundering, ironing, and
folding each one for each person after each meal. People who claim to
use a fresh cloth napkin for each meal are simply attempting to
convince us that they are royalty who has their maid do all that slave
labor. Many years ago my mother used table linen, but then with paper
products taking their place it was like a gift from the heavens. And
paper is far more sanitary... we use paper plates for food that isn't
juicy and needs no cutting... a sandwhich needs no plate. My favorite
serving piece for sandwiches and such is the small wooden cutting
board that the sandwich was prepared on and typically the board is
covered with a paper towel. We have friends our age who grew up in
parts of Europe and they eat off wooden boards too, called trenchers,
that's how they ate growing up... even steaks are eaten from
trenchers, no need for serrated knives. Using serrated cutlery is
extremely crass. When high end pricy steak houses provide serrated
cutlery no way do they deserve those prices, making diners saw their
steaks as with hacksaws... just proves their steaks are not prime
beef.

Horrors. Fourteen napkins a week. I'd have to quit my job to manage
the workload.
 
When we use cloth napkins, I don't iron them. I take them out of the
basket full of clean laundry, smooth them out, and fold them.

My Mom did a lot of the laundry during WWII when it was hard to get
hired help so they had one cleaner/cooker/laundry person and it was too
much for 1 to do it all as part time (the hired lady worked in a war
factory part time).
 
She's passed as of 2 years ago but she said washboards are a real pain
and the old manual wringers were dangerous if you didn't pay close
attention to fingers. I learned how to handwash a load at need wih a
tub and to rinse modern (1970's) soaps well out. Today, machines can
handle a king sized quilt but they didn't used to.
 
To her, a dryer was 'nice to have' but a simple clothes hanger outside
was faster, cheaper, and less trouble in the long run. She used indoor
ones in winter.

Not at all sanitary.

I'd far rather use paper towels for napkins than reuse dirty
fercocktah schmatahs.

I just got off the phone with my mother. Yes, it was a tub with an
agitator and a separate wringer. They had a water heater, so filling
it was fairly convenient.

Washing them in between uses, of course.

Or you could just wash the things every time, as I would do if I
used cloth napkins.

You're not poor. Your idea of poverty is obviously a white man's
conception of what it means to be poor.
