Well I sure am pissed off since some bastards stole my flock of chickens at the end of last year when egg prices were rising and to rub insult to injury some bastards also recently stole my flock of ducks a few weeks ago when organic eggs peaked over $20/dozen. Whoever stole my birds, I hope you get bird flu🖕. Anyway, enough of my ranting.

So...I was recently at the supermarket specifically to purchase my favorite mouldy cheese from Europe for all that white and blue fungal goodness and I noticed the egg section was all empty. Now Chinatown's best kept secret has been revealed, there are no shortage of eggs in Chinatown.

Like everywhere else, the price of eggs in Chinatown has surged in recent months. But the majority of grocery store owners along a busy four-block span of Stockton Street told The Examiner they usually stay stocked with eggs all day, even amid the shortage which swept across the country at the start of the year due to widespread bird flu.

“In general, we always have eggs,” Mei Zhu, owner of Mei’s Groceries, said through a translator. “Compared to the rest of The City, Chinatown is definitely in a better place. If people come here, it will definitely upgrade their chances of bùying eggs and cheaper eggs.”

Etched in the bricks of Chinatown is the beginning of San Francisco’s Asian American story — one that started in oppression but rose through resilience. The city first tried to confine us there like a ghetto, then tried to take it away from us. But every time, we fought back. We organized, we rebuilt, and we carved our own destiny. Brick by brick, generation by generation, we turned survival into strength and struggle into success. We built businesses, bought homes, and claimed our place in this city, and we now hold the power to shape its future. So no, we don’t just live in Chinatown anymore — look how far we’ve come. And we should be damn proud of that.

A History Of Stereotypes
According to Chan, stereotypes of the Chinese American gambler dates to the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, when the federal government prevented Chinese immigrants from letting their families join them in the U.S.

“Men could not bring over their wives and were confined to Chinatowns,” Chan said. “What else could you do?”

Many of these herbs are sourced only from China and with the tariffs in place, the herbs from China are becoming unaffordable to fixed-income Chinese-Americans.

Ly and Nguyen have renovated the cafe with a mural designed by Ly and tons of anime memorabilia. Manga, plushies and figurines line the store’s many shelves: from Pokémon’s Pikachu to Dragon Ball Z’s Goku.

“I’m trying to make it more anime themed,” Ly said. “Everything from like a steamed bun in the shape of Totoro ... I’m trying to recreate some of the dishes from Studio Ghibli movies.”

DEI needs to DIE

Government-back student loans needs to be eliminated and transfer the loan burden to the Universities to guarantee the loans so that students are not incentivized to take 8 years to graduate from a 4 year degree.

OAKLAND, Calif. – When Charlene Wang visited Oakland’s Chinatown recently, she was greeted with a racial epithet and then chased by a vehicle that forced her to leap out of harm’s way. “Oakland is at the epicenter of anti-Asian hate,” she said.

“The Chinese population in Chinatown is declining,” said Lowe, who is African American. “We need to build Chinatown again.” He then cited grim statistics, including the fact that 20% of residents in the neighborhood lack internet access in their homes.

“There used to be 500 Chinatowns across California,” Lowe noted. “I worry about Chinatown 100 years from now.”

Xu Lin, owner of the restaurant Bubblefish in Philadelphia’s Chinatown, said the tariffs could force the enclaves to change their historically low-price image. Takeout containers and other goods that are central to everyday operations are sourced from China, Lin said. Consumers’ pivot to delivery apps has already forced restaurants to fork over sizable fees to these companies, cutting into profits, he said. Rising prices have resulted in an almost immediate drop in sales, he said. But he may have no choice but to raise them further with the tariffs.

“Years and years after Covid, a big portion of our sales still come from delivery sales,” Lin said. “If our takeout containers continue to increase, then we’ll be forced to increase our delivery.”

“Most of the businesses here will have to rely on American resources, which could be a little bit different than what we can get from China,” Wu said. “We might have to change a bit of the way we usually make our traditional foods.”

Known for its historically buzzy main drag and referred to then, as today, as China Alley, it was a place where an entire ecosystem of families spun up grocery stores, housing, restaurants, herb shops, laundries, herbal doctors, gambling halls, a school and a Taoist temple. “It soon became known as a ‘city within a city’ with buildings lining both sides of the alley made from bricks formed and fired on site,” the China Alley Preservation Society’s website reads...


...Through its ups and downs, Banister says the interest in China Alley has never waned. In fact, he feels curiosity around China Alley is currently on the uptick. “If we had a dollar for everyone who’s taken a picture here, we’d be able to restore the temple,” he said.
