  1. Chinese movies can be fun, at first. People flying around,fighting, jumping great heights and twisting , and my favorite: two opposing groups facing each other—but only one at a time speaking. After a while, though…
  2. I always felt they named it COvID-19 to hide the obvious origin.
  3. Easy to be a Monday morning quarterback, I know…US should have begun with a 10% worldwide tariff and negotiated from there.

  13. Welfare is a good place to start. There are multiple generations on public welfare—with absent fathers and higher welfare payments for each additional child. President Clinton instituted a work for welfare program. We should revisit the program.
  14. Even their currency is defiantly different than Thailand’s. Dong has a loose peg on the USD. Thailand has—I have no idea what drives the Baht…
