I’ve been living immersed in South Korea for the last month with my wife and daughter.
We just leave the stroller outside if we go in anywhere.
Because no one’s going to steal it.
I met a friend for lunch. He rode his bicycle. He just left it outside in an alley without a lock.
It was still there 2 hours later.
Another friend mistakenly left his phone on a park bench. When he finally retraced his steps and went back 4 hours later, his iPhone was still there.
I walked by a KPop concert. The fans who traveled from outside of Seoul to attend just left their luggage outside the subway station. No locks. No security.
Koreans take this for granted. They don’t realize this is not normal for most the world, especially America.
When I ask about it, they just respond, “of course, why would someone take it?”
Can you imagine any of these things happening or being possible in NYC or LA or *insert city*?
And IF, something were to be stolen in Korea, the police would investigate. Because in a high trust society, rules and norms matter.
There’s no “under $1000” law.
Theft is theft.
And trust is trust.
Will this social norm ever be possible in America?

WWIII means the total annihilation.
1. Mutual Assured Destruction.
2. All against all.
3. No visit to moon.
4. No visit to Mars.
5. No scientific innovation.
Things will be doomed.
Back to the stone age.
World learders have to think hard before aspiring for military strikes against each others in the dangerous nuclear age supported by emerging and disruptive technologies.

Elon: "Okay, this is going to sound pretty crazy."
"I'd say the economy is 10 times the its current size in 10 years. Greater than. I feel like that's actually a fairly comfortable prediction."
"Obviously if there's like World War III or something. that that could put a kink in those plans or those expectations. In the absence of World War II, if current trends continue, I would say the the economy 10xes in 10 years and have a base on the moon."

POLL: ICE has been abused by the Fake News Media at levels never seen before. They are Great Patriots who work hard, and do a fantastic job in a very hostile environment. Much of this hostility is caused by the Dumocrats and the Fake News. The concept I have had for quite some time — A strong feeling that the name of these Patriots, “ICE,” should be changed to, “NICE,” in that it will totally discombobulate Crooked, Dishonest, and Unpatriotic Reporters and Journalists. For them to say, “We went to a NICE Facility today,” as opposed to “ICE” or, “NICE Agents have deported a Violent Drug Dealer,” they won’t be able to handle it, they will go totally crazy! All it means is adding an “N” (“National”) to “ICE (“Immigration and Customs Enforcement”) — A much more prestigious name. Everyone loves it, but I have been told by the legendary Tom Homan that the Agents do not love it as much as the other population. Who thinks that we should add an “N” to change the name of “ICE” to “NICE?”
Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT

Mark Carney basically announcing a bail out for Vancouver and area developers;
Too many completed condos sitting empty. Metro Vancouver alone around 2,500 finished units are standing vacant with no buyers.
They don't want to sell at a loss, they can't afford to hold those empty units indefinitely.
We will convert vacant condos into affordable housing. We're going to go use the right financing mechanisms, convert those into affordable housing so people can move in and use that."
Greed and horrible municipal planning has led to building overpriced shitboxes that no one wants.
Now Carney will reward that with taxpayer dollars instead of letting the market solve itself by bringing the prices down.
Absurd intervention.
I thought he was an economist??
