After the Promise 1987

Escape from Sobibor 1987

Dang '87 was a tear jerker fest in my timeline.

I don’t get why these countries should be on that list. I might be wrong but these are thriving democracies.

Antigua and Barbuda

Cabo Verde

Dominica

Saint Kitts and Nevis

Devil’s advocate opinion.

After spending a fair bit of time in China, I’ve come to understand one thing. A weaker America is good for China, but, China does not want to lead the world. Sloppy seconds works better from China.

Many years ago, Richard Branson, wrote that in his fight with British Airways, he actually preferred being second. This because nobody is gunning for you. Everyone always guns for gold, but a silver is not a bad thing either but nobody is in the race thinking, golly, I’m going for silver this time.

So, China has no real interest in the liabilities that come with leading the world. It’s a headache that does not benefit them. Own the infrastructure, mine the planet, sell plastic crap, that is fine, but rule the world, problems. Everyone turns to you for solutions or is trying to bring you down. Better to just chill.

Our mom. Why deny our Alabama living?

Twitter/Reddit.

I was all in. Quit Twitter around 2015 when it started getting ultra toxic. Quit Reddit when 3rd party apps were killed.

I’m not a lawyer but does this not set a precedent for others in the same predicament to follow?

Politically, this was a key proponent in creating and managing difficult alliances with African, Asian, and South American countries. China, and potentially Russia and India have been waiting for this splinter. They will flood the markets with cheaper generics and people will adapt. This will be a power play America will never recover.

Mercedes E350 2008.

I wanted an old school Mercedes, but the old 90s S Class would have been too expensive to run so after a bit of research, I came across the W210 and then I realised than a W211 was within reach.

So I bought it. Been a bit of drama with it. 2 fender benders, parts and maintenance. I DIY a good bit and I am happy with my decision. Gone cross country three times with it and daily drive it on my job which involved driving around 200 miles a day. It’s comfortable, fast, and quite reliable.

I am happy with my decision till a light comes on the dash. Still, cheaper than car payments.

Send me the details. I’m definitely interested.

Varies between Autozone, FCPEuro, Amazon, Ebay and the junkyard. Saved quite a bit with junkyard parts.

Depends on the role, but I am willing to give it a go.

Depends on the role, but yeah, willing to give it a go.

Always willing to try.

Ouch. Hopefully you ended up with something else.

What should I be aiming for? I’m simply going by what the job sites are stating.

So disheartened by this. But thanks.
