Uganda: +65.8%
Tanzania: +38.9%
Kenya: -15.3%
Ethiopia: -23.1%
Rwanda: -28.9%
Fiat makes everythin look bigger. Gold shows what’s actually growing & building real wealth?

They aren’t even hiding what these hydration breaks are about. It’s 75 degrees under a roof at SoFi, the announcer says “that’s the end of the first quarter,” and then it’s straight to commercials. The game is gone.
Does anyone else find it odd that $200 billion is spent on cancer research every single year...and the only thing to show for it is a 75% increase in cancer deaths since the 1990s?
