Dodge Future Plans: Copperhead Supercar, GLH Model, and SRT Everything

What’s up, everybody! It’s Monday (Lundi) May (Mai) 25, 2026. It’s Memorial Day 2026. It’s Major Content Day because it’s Monday. I invite you to watch Major Dad on streaming portals, and hope that the San Antonio Spurs defeat the New York Knicks in the NBA Finals. Maybe there will be a miracle and the Cleveland Cavaliers will come back to Game 7. You never know. We’d need a miracle though. It’s a very sad day for me because it is the 11th anniversary of my first day at Intel Corporation, and it’s been 7 years 11 months since my last day there. I never got invited for a third contract, or a Blue Badge Position. I wonder, what if I was White? What if I wasn’t discriminated because of my ethnicity? What if I was Indian from India? Would my resume not be tossed in the garbage can? After over 30 calls and DocuSigns from tech recruiters at Intel Corp in the last 8 years, how come nobody offered me a job offer, despire how hard I have been working? on Zack.coffee? On Zack Technology LLC? About Technology, World Affairs, Affaires Etrangeres, Electronic Music, Diplomacy? On Superintelligence, being a SME? On Mental Health, Emotional Support, and Music Therapy? On Playstation 5 livestreams, on VLOGs in English and in French? This is ridiculous. I need a salary. Someone needs to help me out. Let us hope Lip-Bu Tan is reading this, because I am feeling all sorts of “Harold And Kumar 4” feelings after this, except I don’t smoke weeds nor do illegal drugs, and I want some White Castle, and I am tired of white people getting all the credit for my hard work come Monday Morning. Help a Brother Out, Goddamnit. Thanks in advance. 30,000 job applications, over 10 million words, one book, 10,000 podcasts, I’m worthy. Hire me. Sign me a check. I’m watching “The Family Man” with Nicolas Cage today, and I will make the Trilogy, mark my words…PS. my next #Longreads OpEd Article is coming, but something is wrong with the formatting, I will try to publish it as soon as I can, thank you for your patience.
