wow, either there really is such a thing as an honest dem, or Hillary is nastier than even I thought.
In this area, there are lots of South Korean nationals. Just go to any convenience store. Any. They own them all. How and why? Well, there's the Korean Businessmen's Association. This organization runs the Korean community. They hold weekly and monthly meetings. At these meetings, each attendee must pay a fee for attending. These funds are then given to one of the attendees to buy a business that has been lined up for sale to the group. So those who want to get into business have a way to do so.
At the same time, all of the distributors that support these stores are also Korean owned. If you have the store, you must buy from these distributors. The more you buy, the wider the line of products they offer for sale to you. Sound familiar?
Well, also around here, the convenience stores are the only place that the meth cooks get their pseudoephedrine. The Association closely controls the distribution of those cold pills, and they also used to contract for their manufacture and importation from Korea. The sales of those pills are what drives the desire to own these stores. The profit margins are HUGE. Thankfully, the law has stepped in and put a much tighter leash on the amounts that can be sold at the wholesale level, driving the sales down. Same goes for the profit margin of these stores.
Like so many other aspects of the WOsD, there's a lot more than meets the eye. The Korean community is one of those that is basically closed to non-Koreans. They are very secretive about how they do business. Now you know why.
Well what would we expect from a Dem.? Clinton had China why shouldn't Kerry have his favorite Communist State? He worked for them during the 70's and now in the 2000's. After all he is their pinup boy. North Korean war hero.
"Nothing to see here - move along, folks..."
Juicier article than the one in the Washington Times.
Bumping for the fun of it...since the Dems are in a dither over their allegations of Russian election meddling
