Bhutan - My thoughts too.

There's nothing in the video that suggests that Ruchir is NOT a right leaning economist. There's nothing other than indiscriminate layoffs that T has done to reduce deficits that Ruchir was going ga-ga over it. This is why I am guessing that he was alluding to the staff reduction - even if the enti...

Trump is Trump but I see a remarkable shift in the perspectives of the other countries. During the first term T tariff threats were considered to be empty threats with the end-game of making deals (which could have been done more amicably anyways without the threats).

What you see is not what you get in pharma/insurance industries. They appear to be capitalist but underneath they're actually socialist.

Probably traveling. Great time of the year.

This years Oscars were pretty boring. I think when they reach Oscars '100' in 2028 (coinciding with LA 28 Olympics) they should have the biggest celebration and end it for good. Sad to say this, but Hollywood and it's influence peaked in the 90s. Now it's a dead shell propped up by the billionaires...
