What is a digital nomads
any schmuck can call himself "digital nomad" - it is as dumb as "youtuber", "blogger", "photojournalist" and a whole lotta similar "terms". If I have a notebook - I'm working remotely, right? If I travel to the nearby beachfront - I'm kinda "nomadic". -

Trump Wants to Be Impeached Again
The following Op-Ed was recently published in the Wall Street Journal by a staunch conservative: It’s already in the cards thanks to his ill-founded trade war, no matter how that war plays out. By Holman W. Jenkins, Jr. April 11, 2025 5:32 pm ET This week the system worked. Donald Trump blinked. The unwinding is still just beginning. It will be painful and tumultuous. A grief-filled fight lies ahead over whether his trade actions have even been legal and constitutional. Many slips between cup and lip are to be expected. China and the U.S. are rushing toward an unplanned total stoppage of trade. The bond market is signaling a potentially dangerous combustion with America’s unaddressed fiscal-sustainability challenge. The courts will come into play, albeit cautiously if judges and justices believe U.S.-China negotiations by then are pointing toward an exit ramp, justifying a bit of presidential leeway for national-security reasons. A future Trump impeachment seemed all but guaranteed by last Wednesday morning. It seems only slightly less likely now. It may even be desirable to restore America’s standing with creditors and trade partners. As sacrilegious as the comparison will seem, Mr. Trump faced a problem Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt solved by dying once their greatest achievements were in the bag. Mr. Trump great achievement was his 2024 re-election, a rebuke to the injustices and insults meted out to him and his fans since 2016, some of which were even real. However, no consensus or even significant coalition exists for trying to force into existence a new American “golden age” with tariffs, which anyway is like asking a chicken to give birth to a lioness. He invented this mission out of his own confused intuition. Of the outcomes still in the cards, the least-bad now may be the Trump proposal on which I bestowed a lefthanded Kewpie doll last year: a universal, nondiscriminatory 10% import tax. It faintly resembles a consumption tax (or a carbon tax). If Mr. Trump can then pivot away from his trade-war dysphoria to domestic tax and regulatory reform, his presidency may yet be saved. With floods devastating his northern counties, Kentucky’s Gov. Andy Beshear has been making TV rounds lately. Americans see an attractive and sane Democrat who might have sought and won his party’s nomination in the completely different 2024 election we could have had. November’s outcome, remember, tells us only how voters reacted to a binary choice. In fact, polls show most voters thought it was a lousy choice. Hence history’s most risible irony: Nobody stands to benefit more now than Joe Biden if the Trump presidency can avoid complete disaster. At least posterity would then have less incentive to dwell on how Joe and Jill threw America under a bus with their craving for a second term. Historian and author Niall Ferguson this week chose the adjective “full retard” for Trump trade policy. I go with “neurotic” for the word’s wider applicability to any leader who, lacking a clear bead on his times, fabricates a gratuitously ambitious mission to meet his misguided sense of importance. The phenomenon is more intrinsic to politics than we might think. Vladimir Putin is a current example. Bill and Hillary Clinton’s first-term grand healthcare scheme nearly broke his presidency. What if Roosevelt had been gifted with 83 rather than 63 years? So many elites were subsisting on his coattails practically from birth, the systemic pressure to invent an agenda to justify a fifth, sixth, seventh term would have been immense. Notice how even the desultory Biden crowd still shapes our country’s trajectory with their clinging to office. Nobody in Mr. Trump’s orbit actually shares his belief in the magical efficacy of tariffs because it makes sense only in a world that doesn’t exist, where other countries don’t retaliate. That’s why you can expect his aides soon to be hinting sotto voce that his China tariffs are really about “leverage” to pressure Beijing to help out on Ukraine. The founders never anticipated today’s instantly responsive trillion-dollar financial markets. And yet these markets neatly adumbrate the founders’ scheme of checks and balances, also known as feedback. Mr. Trump, still sane enough to appreciate what’s good for Mr. Trump, listened this week to their feedback. May he continue to do so. The left’s picture of a proto-dictator never really meshed with his nature as a flighty glutton for attention. Mr. Trump’s politics aren’t poll-based or policy-based. They aren’t strategic. They are ratings-based. From the moment he appeared in 2015, he was a democratic accident waiting to happen for exactly this reason. The wild card that couldn’t be foreseen was the lying, cowardice and self-discrediting of his opponents, especially the press, which afforded him an improbable legitimacy he never would have obtained otherwise. Might something valuable yet come from this accident? As Zhou Enlai was misunderstood to say about the French Revolution, it’s too soon to tell. Ask me in 150 years.

What is a digital nomads
If your health is good .... a nomadic life might be interesting ... you can rent monthly in thailand, no need to buy a condo. but realistically if you're past a certain age, it's tiring to move around. digital nomad is a young man's game.
