Larry David’s ABSURD America 250 Comments, Plus “Classless Thief” Trashing NYC Streets

There's bad behavior in New York and you're going to be shocked, shocked to learn who did it. A woman caught on video reporting here from the New York Post, emptying a public trash can on the street and then stealing it during the celebration of the Knicks championship parade has since been identified. Before I say who she is, we're going to look at the video where she's caught on camera here in SOT 16. All right, so it's a very large, though short woman in a Knicks shirt dumping trash all over the New York City streets cuz nothing says thank you to the New York Knicks like trashing their city and then steals the specially painted blue and orange trash can for herself. Who does it turn out to be? Well, she was, up until this broke, a director at JPMorgan Chase. She was fired on Tuesday after this video went viral. Her name is Angie Baez, 40. She was promoted to executive director of community and industry engagement, which is DEI. She previously served as executive director of DEI at New York-based review website, The Infatuation, which Chase acquired. She's a DEI honcho. I'll give you just a little bit of her bio. This is how she was described at The Infatuation, acquired by JPMorgan. As a vibrant mosaic of Dominican heritage, Bronx roots, and a passion for storytelling, creativity, and culture, Angie continues to lead the way toward a more inclusive and equitable future for food media, leaving an indelible mark on The Infatuation and everything she touches, Chamath, including that garbage can. She also co-founded a queer, black, indigenous, and people of color-owned talent agency focused on increasing representation and equity in media and industry, which works with artists and talent on creative projects, photo shoots, strategy, and business affairs. Now she's unemployed because she is a classless thief. This is a made-up profession. Is anybody surprised? She was idle, had nothing better to do than walk around the streets of New York stealing. Well, look, I don't know about how much the job impacted this decision, but she's a really terrible crook. You know, you can't document your crime. You know what I mean? Like, that's like a really stupid idea. Like, OK, commit the crime. I could understand why. Look, if I was in my 20s and I was it, I'm not a New York Knicks fan. I hate the Knicks. I apologize. But if I was a New York Knicks fan and they're so, you know, hardscrabble, they had no chance of winning ever. And then they win. Obviously, I would have been shocked too. Maybe I would have tried to steal a garbage can in my 20s. But I would have done it under the cover of darkness. I mean, this is in broad daylight. Somebody's filming it. Then they're taking pictures of her on the subway with it. She's clearly excited. That's the mistake here. It's insane. Too stupid to work at JPMorgan Chase. And good for them for canning her. Very bad criminal. Oh, dumb. God, I hate dumb people. My next soundbite is from someone who is not dumb, but said something. I don't know if it's dumb. It's just so annoying. Like, speaking of DEI and wokeness, Larry David, whose show I enjoy. I think Curb Your Enthusiasm is so clever and very funny. But I just wish he would stop with the political over-the-top stuff. Here he is commenting on the 250th and the UFC celebration that Trump had at the White House. Take a listen. This is your way of celebrating America. The White House did it much differently with the UFC fight. What did you think about that? It was a travesty. Yeah. What else can you say about it? It was embarrassing. I was embarrassed to be an American. There's no question Larry lives in Beverly Hills or Bel Air and is living it up big. And looked at these guys, Chamath, and had absolutely nothing that he could relate to on this more of a working class American sport. Turned his nose up at it and walked away saying I'm embarrassed to be associated with them. You know what I find a problem with this is not the opinion because you're allowed in America to have opposite opinions. I just think that people memory hole the arc of all of these things. If you remember in the Biden White House, they put rainbow flags on the beams of the South Lawn of the White House of different colors. And there was this kind of parade or carnival type atmosphere during Pride. I saw Tranny's fake breasts. Yeah. So I think that that probably made a certain class of Americans feel equally uncomfortable, whether it's for religious or other reasons. So every president in recent memory has essentially tried to find a part of the American culture that they want to amplify. And it necessarily does upset other parts of the American culture. I think, though, that when you're somebody that's public, you have to have the wherewithal to see that and actually say, well, we did one thing one way and the president who's sitting now did one thing the other way. And actually, in both of these things, there's a little bit more balance and we should all just move on. What I find problematic is I think that we look at these kind of like media folks, actors, and they're not what they used to be. And I think that we almost like ask them like they have some sort of cultural anchoring in shaping how we should think about things. And they used to have that power making. They don't have that power anymore. I think more people care what Jake Paul thinks than what Larry David thinks. You can debate whether that's right or wrong, but that's just the nature of where we are. And so part of it as well is you have a person that's just a little bit out of the center stage now. And so they kind of step into this thing without thinking about it logically. The logical thought should be there are things that happened in Biden that a lot of people didn't like. And there are going to be things that that President Trump does that other people don't like. And in the end of it, as long as it's fair to some cohort of people that gets seen, that's what's reasonable. And when you're the president of the United States, you have that power. Yeah, I think, Larry David, I don't I don't see a ton of Republicans like after we had saying, well, I mean, there's nothing Joe Biden could do to make me feel un-American. I feel disgusted with his choices. No, you're right. I mean, let me be very specific. There was somebody in nipple tassels on the White House lawn. And you have to compare that and say, what's worse, UFC or somebody exposing their bare breasts in in public? And I think for me personally, the latter is much more offensive. And so without having the wherewithal to actually remember these things and just, you know, just let the TDS guide your decision, I think is very simple and reductive and I think misses the mark. No BS, no agenda, no fear. For the first time since World War Two, our national debt has exceeded the gross domestic product. America's reckless government spending keeps catching up with us. Higher inflation, higher prices, higher cost of living expenses and higher interest payments on the national debt. Every dollar Washington spends on interest is a setback. And they can do that by diversifying with a time tested asset known for weathering the storm. Consider physical gold from Birch Gold Group.
