Well - "Ho Chi Minh" Off-Springs Are Too Busy "Filling Their OWN Bottomless Pockets" - They "Forget" To Offer Anything To "Their Hero" - Whose Stinky Dead Corpse Still "On Display" in HaNoi with Millions of USD in Cost ...

So - No "Budget for Ho Chi Minh Soul" - I Guess

---Some Excerpts---

...people are buying fewer gifts to burn for the dead than ever before...

...Some village women who traveled to Hanoi to sell special homemade candies for the hungry ghost festival say they have not earned enough this year to return home...

...People are losing confidence in the ability of the government to manage the economy...

..."The government seems confused how to deal with the difficulties and they have been making some mistakes in running the economy," said a young lawyer, who spoke on condition of anonymity when criticizing the government...

---Some Excerpts---

...Hundreds of strikes at the factories that have been an engine of Vietnamese growth are one of the sharpest signs of discontent...

..."Some people who have been moving from rural areas to seek jobs in industrial zones are deciding that it is not worth it, and people are moving home,"...

...Some of the factory workers who are leading Vietnam's emergence from poverty are returning to the countryside, according to the local press, unable to sustain an urban life on a factory wage...

---Some Excerpts---

...Too much capital, particularly from foreign investment, has collided with bottlenecks in infrastructure and capacity...

...The education system is producing too few skilled and semiskilled workers for Vietnam to move up quickly into more complex manufacturing industries...

...Throughout the years of strict Communist rule, when religion was banned, the ghosts of the ancestors languished, uncared-for and unappeased...

...Religion returned to Vietnam along with free commerce and the festival of the hungry ghosts was revived. The two have flourished in tandem, and now both are feeling the pinch of inflation.

LikePBC, Pho Thuong Dan and Phiengung, I hate left wingers and VCs (anyone that I don't like is a left winger or a VC) and would do anything to show my worship on blanca masters. I would sit, if they say "sit". In other words, I am well trained and obey all of their commands like "stay", "fetch", "roll", and you name it. I would do it again and again, even without being asked. I would kiss their a$$es like PBC did above. LOL

Do you see how good I am? And, do you know why? Hahaha.

You really don't know? LOL

Watch this and tell me that I am cute. Hahaha

What's wrong with being an uncle Tom. Hahaha
