Figured this would be crack for you guys

David Tran, CEO of the popular company that manufactures the popular Sriracha hot sauce, fled communist Vietnam in 1978. In 1980, he started his company, Huy Fong, which he named after the freighter that brought him to the U.S.

Tran was living the American dream and enjoying the fruits of his labor in the at least somewhat free market, capitalist system, developing his own hot sauce, Sriracha which he named after its place of origin (Si Racha, Thailand). The product has become so popular as to almost have a cult following. Bon Appetit honored the product by calling it one if its favorite foods last year.

But now Tran tells NPR in an interview that the U.S. is feeling more like the communist government he escaped because of the many government intrusions:

“Today, I feel almost the same . Even now, we live in [the] USA, and my feeling, the government, not a big difference.”

Tran’s company has been harassed by the Irwindale, California city council, which claims that the factory’s spicy smells harm its neighbors.

Amazingly, according to an article in Businessweek last year, the company doesn’t advertise and the last time their website was updated was 2004. It looks more like 1994.

Texas Governor Rick Perry has been courting Tran’s company with open arms, saying in the Lone Star State “we know a thing or two about hot food and even hotter business climates,” referring to the state’s business-friendly tax and regulatory environment:
Texas’ low taxes, predictable regulations, fair courts and world-class workforce make our state the ideal place for any business looking to relocate or expand, and I trust our sriracha delegation will communicate that effectively. Beyond that, we’re Texas: we know a thing or two about hot food and even hotter business climates.

Sriracha Hot Sauce CEO Says U.S. Now Resembling Communist Country
 


Constitutional republic ---> Democratic republic ---> Democracy ---> Socialism ---> Communism

It's like watching a drunk guy get behind the wheel of his car. There's no way to be certain when tragedy will strike. Nor is it possible to know whether it will happen slowly or in a blaze of glory.

But it's a solid bet that nothing good will come of it.
 
America isn't quite near communism yet, but (at least in California) is sure getting close to a socialist environment.

Half of Americans aren't paying any federal taxes, handouts (welfare, etc) are through the roof while causing cities like Stockton to literally become bankrupt, and the biggest misconception to the public is that the wealthy don't pay their "fair share"

It's the neighbors around the factory objecting to the smell, who are complaining to the local city council and not some distant gov't entity.

This is not an example of communistic encroachment. Communist countries typically allow for shitloads of pollution. And in an anarchic environment, the neighbors would be the first people giving him shit.



P.S. Tran says he doesn't advertise, so here he is taking advantage of libertarian sentiment for free publicity. Pretty smart guy.
