The bank collapsed because their portfolio of US government bonds collapsed in value due to interest rate hikes.

Hardly financial crimes, but hey “durrr banks are all bad gimme up boat”

Party primaries and special elections only. The general election is FPTP.

Another case for ranked choice voting at the general election, not just primaries. If anything, I'm in favor of doing away with primaries, and just doing an open general election with ranked choice voting.

It gets rid of weird shit like this where people are incentivized to evade party primaries because they know they'll lose a primary, but win a general election.

I’m talking about food that can conceivably drive a sit-down restaurant menu. I mention street food because a lot of Asian restaurant food items tend to derive from street food, doesn’t mean all street food is meant to be in a restaurant.

Perhaps you can make an make mainstay menu items of Pork BBQ, Pancit, or maybe isaw. Those can probably be made into fast food items. Besides that, there’s not much else you can do.

It’s either expensive Fusion that might die in a year, Jolibee, or family-style in Filipino neighborhoods.

Filipino here. You hit the nail on the head with regards to Filipino food designed to be cooked at home for families. I agree. It is not restaurant food.

In the article it mentions other successful Asian cuisines that have had more success in America such as Chinese and Thai (I’m including Korean and Japanese as well). What those cuisines had in common is that they were built upon a well-developed street food/restaurant culture as most of the famous Asian dishes that have become very popular in America were already popular restaurant/street food back in their home countries. The dishes were practically designed solely for that kind of environment as most of them are rarely cooked at home.

Whereas all Filipino food is home food by design. It was never meant to be served in a restaurant. And the only really long standing Filipino places are ones that cater to Filipino families, basically.

Now that I think about it you can probably find parallels with all different kinds of ethnic foreign food. The only ones that ever make waves were ones that were already restaurant-designed from the ground-up. “Family-styled foreign food” rarely makes it out of their local neighborhoods.
