Definitely an option for myself looking into future.
Hip replacement had knocked my mobility on the head and while no problem to drive to CW immigration that joint is huge.
Even the walk to the Massive B2 Building is bit of issue.
Don't politicize everything. There is certainly a lack of discipline these days, especially in America when one sees the violence, credit card debt and superficial relationships. Technology must take some blame, everybody has their faces stuck into an iPhone, few want to read or learn.
When I was young, before this technology I taught myself to speak fluent German, not because I had to but because I wanted to, later as I neared retirement and considered Thailand as a retirement goal I taught myself to read and write Thai.
Years later in Thailand while reading a Thai book I heard my stepdaughter say to her mother, "Why does he do that to himself", for her reading was a punishment, it turned out that at 12 years old she could barely read, when I complained to her teacher about this he said I can't let the class be held back by a few weak learners so I took it upon myself to teach her (lots of tears), her mother just didn't have the patience. Now at 23 she has a university degree in business marketing. It all comes down to discipline, from oneself as well as outside. Admittedly there has, since 25 years ago, arisen 'new' methods of teaching in the UK and probably America which has a 'woke' basis from 'enlightened' politicians which has proved disastrous and recent technology hasn't helped, I've read recently that Gen Z people are basically unemployable but they are wizards with iPhone's .
