If I wanted to maintain my current standard of living, but in Nigeria, it would cost too much to be realistic.

Nigerian prices are way too expensive in USD terms despite having such a devalued currency, and I don't understand how everyone is quiet.

That country is stupidly expensive for no reason at all🤷🏾

The Construction of Medieval Castles still blows the mind.

A stunning 11th-century fortress perched on the rugged northeast coast of England in Northumberland.
One of the largest inhabited castles in the UK, it stands as a breathtaking reminder of medieval engineering.

A chocolate maker bought 120 acres of Birmingham slums. 🍫

His name was George Cadbury.

He didn’t build a factory. He built a world.

Every house had a garden. By law. Every single one. 🌿

Schools. Parks. Swimming pools. Cricket pitches. Pensions. Education during working hours.

Workers’ committees that ran the factory floor.

Then in 1900 he put the entire estate into a trust. 🏛️

It could never be sold for profit. Never broken up. Never privatised.

Protected forever.

It still exists today. Still run by the trust.

One man proved that if you treat people well, they don’t just survive. They flourish. 🙏

@JohnCleese But even then, that took the British to sink an allied submarine that was carrying the report that proved Japan was going to attack Pearl Harbor so that they weren’t forewarned to spur them into action.

Harry Nilsson's song "Without You" was released in 1971 on his album Nilsson Schmilsson. The song was originally written by Pete Ham and Tom Evans of the band Badfinger, but Nilsson's version is one of the most famous and successful. Nilsson recorded "Without You" in a more emotional and romantic style, which helped make it a huge hit and one of the most memorable songs of his career.

ℹ️ One of the most celebrated choral works in classical music, the ‘Lacrimosa’, meaning ‘weeping’, is part of the Roman Catholic Requiem Mass (a mass for the dead), reflecting grief, the plea for mercy, and the hope for eternal rest on the day of judgment.
