Finally identified my long-term illness (Bronchiectasis), thanks to Dr Google :)
Pulmonary function tests aren’t the same as tests for gas exchange and don’t really measure how well oxygen and carbon dioxide move at the alveolar level. Instead, they look at how air flows in and out of your lung, how fast it goes in, how much air you can take in, and how quickly you can blow it out. In bronchiectasis, the bronchial walls are damaged, especially the elastic and muscular parts, so they can’t keep their normal shape. That makes it harder to breathe out forcefully, which shows up in the test results. Glad to hear you’re happy at the beach. Being by the sea can actually feel great for people with chronic lung issues, whatever it is. -

The Art of Winning too Much to Be Doing Any Deals
https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-accidentally-admits-hasn-t-165849625.html Trump Accidentally Admits He Hasn’t Made Any Trade Deals President Donald Trump claimed Tuesday that the U.S. doesn’t “have to sign” any trade deals, inadvertently admitting that his administration hasn’t made any progress during the 90-day pause on his disastrous tariffs. During a tense meeting to discuss tariffs with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, the president attempted to move the goal posts on actually completing any agreements with foreign countries. “Everyone says, ‘When, when, when, are you going to sign deals?’ We don’t have to sign deals!” Trump said. “We don’t have to sign deals. They have to sign deals with us. They want a piece of our market, we don’t want a piece of their market. We don’t care about their market. They want a piece of our market,” Trump rambled. The president’s unwieldy statements downplaying the importance of the trade deals seemed to be cushioning the likelihood that negotiations would ultimately fail. Trump’s remarks also revealed that his administration has yet to complete a single trade deal. Last month, Trump claimed to have already struck 200 trade agreements with foreign countries, a remark so outlandish it sent members of his administration scrambling to make it make sense. (There are also only 195 countries in the world.) Instead of pledging to sign deals, Trump presented his own plan Tuesday. The president claimed that “at some point over the next two weeks,” he intended to sit down with members of his Cabinet and offer individualized deals to each country seeking tariff relief. “We’re gonna say, ‘Here’s what this country—what we want, and congratulations we have a deal!’ And they’ll either say ‘Great,’ and they’ll start shopping, or they’ll say, ‘Not good, we’re not gonna do it,’” Trump said. Trump claimed that the offers would include “very fair numbers,” but that they might also include other requests. He also said that his administration would be open to adjusting the deals based on how the countries responded. “And then you people will say, ‘Oh it’s so chaotic,’ no, we’re flexible,” Trump said, referring to the press. In any case, Trump continued to emphasize that his goal wasn’t actually to make deals, just to put out offers. “In some cases we’ll sign some deals, it’s much less important than what I’m talking about,” he said. He warned that in one day, he could present 100 offers, but “they don’t have to sign.” Still, Trump said he wanted countries to “pay for the privilege of being able to shop in the United States of America.” -

America Is Already Great Innit Mates
The real problem is consumerism. People always want everything. But you have to pay for it one way or another. Dickens character Mr Micawber never said a truer word - "Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen pounds nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery." The more we spend, the more things cost. Capitalism drives inflation. We need to end this spiral and live within our means. Only buy what is necessary. Applies to individuals and governments. We do not need growth, just stability. When your economy grows, something, somewhere is destroyed to pay for it. -

Report Israeli Tourist Sparks Outrage Over Shoe Rule Dispute in Thailand
A cafe is a public place, so why should she have to take off her shoes? I would not even enter their doorway if they were so fussy. I have refused to go into a couple places because of their local rules that I did not agree with. -
