Am I suddenly old? Everyone is smiling and helping me!
Ah - that is an 'in-joke' about how I seem to move from location to location at the drop of a hat 🙂 I had planned to shortly retire to the PI. The plan to retire to the PI is still on - the UK pension is index-linked there. -

Am I suddenly old? Everyone is smiling and helping me!
I was denied entry into Myanmar about 2 years ago because the junta threw their toys out of their pram after the UK government froze their overseas bank accounts in London! So they took their revenge on all Brits in the country, including jailing the previous UK ambassador who was still in country. Anyway, things have calmed down on the visa front now. The reasons why I returned are (in no particular order): 1 - I love the country and the peole 2 - At going on 66 years old, the idea of retiring to a beach in the Philippines doesn't really excite me 3 - By being in country, I can do more of my educational charity work outside of my teaching hours. Yesterday, I printed up 50 laminated information flyers (in Burmese) about my free Android learning app. I'll post these outside government schools etc so the local teachers (who will have Android phones) can install the app and use it to learn correct English pronunciation, vocabulary etc - the app features many videos, audio files etc 🙂 -

23 Nobel Prize-winning economists call Harris’ economic plan vastly superior’ to Trump’s
They were more willing to believe something like this: September 6, 2024 -- NEW YORK (AP) — Former President Donald Trump suggested to business leaders Thursday that his plans to increase tariffs on foreign imports would solve seemingly unrelated challenges such as the rising cost of child care in the U.S. The GOP presidential nominee promised to lead what he called a “national economic renaissance” by increasing tariffs, slashing regulations to boost energy production and drastically cutting government spending as well as corporate taxes for companies that produce in the U.S. “We’re going to be taking in trillions of dollars, and as much as child care is talked about as being expensive, it’s — relatively speaking — not very expensive, compared to the kind of numbers we’ll be taking in,” he said. https://apnews.com/article/trump-economy-harris-corporate-taxes-15ba5ecfdf5e907bd9b2c349b07222b8 -

What Will Trump’s Economic Plan Mean for American Wallets?
Utopia = a world that is managed by responsible people with the goal of preserving the natural balance of the biosphere that we all need to survive ... Human overpopulation reduced by birth control . Everything is connected in a balanced , functional world , but once this natural balance is destroyed , it is difficult to repair it . Evolution is the thing ... but if you want our species to evolve further ( urgently needed ) , the basics that are needed for this have to be respected : an environment that enables further evolution ... not an environment that is dominated by catastrophic events resulting of misunderstanding of how everything is connected ... Humans living in peace together , speaking the same language , all working together to make this world a better place , instead of destroying it . = Utopia .
