Hate to see you leave but hope all goes well for you. What part of Asia if you don't care to be exact? Some interesting YouTube videos on moving to Asia. Malaysia seems to be quite popular.

Thankfully the insurrection was successful and Tejas became Texas...basically because Mexico had been unsuccessful in getting many Mexicans to populate that area and the Gringos got tired of far off rule and did something about it. Maybe getting close to similar in the US, quien sabe.

I think I know...but it might be an exaggeration so I won't say.

Agree about all inclusives. Way too many folks worried about "Getting their money's worth". Stampedes at the restaurants and the bars, no thanks. Towels placed on pool chairs at 6 AM for an afternoon visit and intoxicated people everywhere since it's "included" and already paid for.

Portland...Stay where you are. Many small business owners are bailing.

Great idea! With all the riots going on in Portland the last 6 months or so rental and housing costs to buy should be quite low. Everyone else wants to bail and you're moving in. I love Contrarians!

They are selling the same gasoline mix as is mandated in California? I didn't know that.

Similar things happen with every vaccine or for that matter every medical procedure. Staying away from doctors and vaccines will ensure you don't die from that cause.

Well you make my point. If produced in Europe why didn't they sign a contract for the product? Did Operation Warp Speed provide a better deal for the companies? What the EU needs to do is nationalize those Big Pharma companies, put in government workers and planners so as to not have to rely on private industry. There, problem solved...right?

Europe has all kinds of Big Pharma in Germany and France in particular. Why did they not produce a vaccine? What is their excuse? Now the EU is in dire straits and whining that the US is hoarding the vaccine for it's own population. Well, DUH, yeah!

Where does the other half go?

Just as a business can mandate mask wearing to enter, I suspect they could also mandate a vaccination record. You probably saw on the news the 65 year old woman who refused to wear a mask in a bank in Galveston and was then asked to leave and refused. The bank called the police who then arrested her for trespassing, and resisting arrest, after she tried to invoke her right to not wear a mask. The police made it clear they do not enforce masking but do respond to calls involving trespassing.

In case you haven't noticed...legalizing MJ is ALWAYS done for a tax grab, there is no other reason to do so.
