Coconut is finishing up her papers, readying to do exams, and aiming to fly back to HK in 12 days, sophomore year done-done. Yeah, time flies and all that.

She shall take up salaried internship post starting June 1st over remaining 2-months of summer, doing creative and hanging out w/ other interns who are all older than her and already done with junior year.

The global entertainment company gave her, and only her, two positions to choose from, one creative and another management, even though she, as a sophomore, is not even supposed to apply for the internships.

The management internship was created for her, and wasn’t even supposed to exist. The international division wasn’t even looking for bothersome and troublesome interns. The HR department told the coconut that the situation was ‘unusual’.

The nut already arranged for own lodging situation at nearby graduate student dorm of local college within walking distance of her work site, and in neighborhood populated by all conveniences, book stores, and cafes, and reckons she shall have time to continue working on some additional project. The nut did not want to tag to business meetings and such, and wanted to exercise creativity.

Many of her friends in STEM shall be interning in the same city for financial companies doing coding and such, and get together are planned.

Am somewhat floored, as my summer work at her age was something about obscured electrical labs in basement if I even remember correctly. Whatever it was I was turned off on electricity.

I reminded the nut to save 10% of income by buying gold, and noted that in her case at this juncture paper gold shall suffice.Am picking up the tab on her lodging :0)

your legislators seem very busy. I read the news item, twice, to make sure I did not misread

am guessing that such tactics shall sooner or later hit a reactive nerve of somebody(ies) domestic and peeved enough to counter-strike

I doubt the veracity of China stirring anti- anybody in the USA. China is way too busy.

Lawmakers Ask IRS To Investigate Chinese Funding Of Anti-Israel Protests
Authored by Eric Lundrum via American Greatness,

On Wednesday, lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives called for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to begin investigating the financial links between China and anti-Israel groups that have been protesting throughout the United States since October 7th.

According to the Washington Free Beacon, the request comes from members of the House Ways and Means Committee, who wrote a letter expressing concerns that “foreign adversaries are taking advantage of loopholes to impact American political activity with little-to-no transparency.”

One such example is The People’s Forum, a group that organized anti-Israel protests such as public school walkouts in New York City.

The group is bankrolled by Neville Roy Singham, a tech mogul with pro-China sympathies, as documented by the New York Times.

The People’s Forum urged students to chant anti-Semitic phrases, including “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” which calls for the extermination of all Israelis.

Another example is The Energy Foundation, a U.S.-based nonprofit group that focuses primarily on global warming, yet operates mostly out of China and has deep ties to the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

This organization has repeatedly advocated for “green” energy policies that would hurt the United States’ energy production, to the benefit of China.

“Not only do these activities raise serious national security concerns, but they also raise questions about whether organizations like this receive foreign funding from America’s adversaries and whether the Internal Revenue Service (‘IRS’) is conducting oversight of entities like these,” said the letter sent by lawmakers to IRS commissioner Daniel Werfel.

The committee members asked if the IRS has “a definition of antisemitism in place within the agency that it considers when evaluating the claimed exempt purpose of a tax-exempt organization,” for the purposes of cracking down on such radical groups. The letter also asked if the IRS would eventually start an investigation into the various financial links between China and various domestic groups.
