Joel, instead of a usual English class, I’m going to have my kids read your dispatches, and look up all the words they don’t know. Helluva better way to expand their vocabulary skills! Well done!
Loved the picture of Boric with his phone. Quite funny comments too. Thanks Joel.
The socialist experiment has failed so often only babies should be fooled by the absurdity. That is why I love to see the failures of the climate change crowd. Norwegian EVs, the largest infiltration of EVs of any country, promoted with free parking and other perks, dropped sales precipitously as the perks started being removed. Their oil use reduction is insignificant. Oh well, just like socialism, it sounds so good to use other people's money rather than hard work and saving and living within one's means.
I was about to give up all hope that democracy as a form of government, could save us from the scoundrels we, the sheeple, put in power to hoodwink us into believing that they will keep us safe from a changing climate, hate speech, gender inequality, and poverty through taxation of the capitalists and redistribution of their ill gotten gains. This was until the miraculous installation of a competent thinking libertarian, steeped in the sensible Austrian School of economic theory by an electorate who had finally seen the light. The question is how bad does a county's economic situation have to become before sense will prevail. The socialist experiment has failed so often that Einstein's saying that doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result is insanity.
The Economist & Time Magazine are great indicators for anyone wanting to short whatever they are pushing. Maybe I’m just too old and cynical but I’m far too frequently staggered by the weapons grade bullshit far too many folk fall for. To end on a postie note another fabulous post, thank you Joel.
Hi Joel, thank you for your postings and congratulations for your decision to go for your own (although we will miss you at BPR 😀). Allow me a Word regarding the Animals, please do not make fun of them, this has nothing to do with the actual wokeness mania (to which i oppose as well). I do eat animals again (after long time being vegetarian), but with most respect for them and trying to avoid unnecessary harm. We have to give nature the respect it deserves, in all areas. Thank you for considering 😇
I was fortune to visit Chilean friends in Vina del Mar in February. We toured the coast and ventured inland to wine country...such an incredible corner of the world to experience by an isolated northern hemispherer such as myself. My friend's wife works for a Canadian mining company as a media consultant and was laid off due to restrictions on mining imposed by the new regime in Chile. Joel, I'm sure you will be flying Latam to Melbourne.. I have another Chilean friend and her daughter is a graduate of the Chilean Air force and flies that route regularly. Bon Voyage!

I'm glad to read that you and your family are full members of PETA.
People Eating Tasty Animals, that is.

Makes you wonder how he ever got elected to begin with.

Another "eye" opener. Thanks for telling and showing a huge difference between a pro wokster and a realist.
I love Chile and Santiago, although I liked Santiago better 54 years ago; of course, oI liked everything better 54 years ago.
