He doesn't care how much money he makes. His love for himself, his restaurant, his staff, his family and his customers is something that should be implemented in every day lives. Having a great attitude and humbled understanding of the world and humankind can take you anywhere you want to go. What a gangster.

      I highly doubt that. More and more of the market in bluefin tuna is turning to fish farms because of how unreliable it is for fishing these in the wild. Also a lot of projects are working well to add some type of hormones in the bluefins to make them mate more efficiently to boost their numbers where they are endangered as well as locations where they may not be fished on. Other types of tuna as far as I know are not endangered. I am not saying just go on with how it is but I believe we are slowly but surely going uphill with sustainable fishing on this species. Don’t be such a doomer about this.

In the end you have X resources and Y people, you get X/Y stuff per person, but it will not be equally distributed because that is the way of nature so a few will get the good stuff and the rest will have a bowl of slop.

It refers to a genre of manga and anime wherein pre-pubescent or pubescent male characters are depicted in a suggestive or erotic manner.

      Believe it or not, this is a small bluefin. They just keep growing. Mature adults are around 500lbs, and it's not unheard of for them to grow well past 1,000lbs. The record is nearly 1,500lbs and 12ft long.
