People are going back to work it seems, and wages seem to be rising.
I saw on the news just now that we have the best economy that we have had since 1968
We have the lowest number of job seekers since 1968 in raw numbers, with more jobs than job seekers.
But it is far from the best economy, I fear. Better than it has been for much of the last 20 years, but we have a ways to go, I think, before I could call it "the best economy" since then.
It is good to hear that things are improving. And there are a lot of improvements that I would like to see happen, such as our high speed trains, and a new movie studio in Anaheim, and a new Aerospace and Defense Museum in Lancaster, California, etc. But it is good that things are improving and I hope that we can build up momentum and keep improving.
And on the issue of China, I think relations are improving, and I think things will get better as the poverty in China eases and as they become more affluent. If China will buy products from America then it will really improve relations, we have lots of great stuff to sell. And I am glad that China is on the side of peace with us against Putin.
Of note, we are sending Eric Garcetti from Los Angeles to be our new Ambassador to India, we have good relations with India, and it would be good if we can expand trade with India.
And of course we need to keep working for peace and prosperity in the Western Hemisphere, we have a lot of great people here, and I think that Cuba will get their freedom soon, and I think things will improve in Venezuela. Colombia is doing good. Vice President Harris started some new programs to help Central America, so that is good, Kamala is helping to send investment money to Central America. And we can help to expand the ports in Mexico, etc. We can also help the Western Hemisphere to go Green with Green energy.
It is too bad that Putin has to be so bad, we could really be pulling out of the corona crisis and we could be heading into better days. But, even with the problems Putin is causing I still have a sense of optimism as I look at the world.
On the issue of Putin, we need to keep working with the United Nations and with our allies, and we need to keep supporting the Ukraine. We also need to look to the future and examine who we want to support in Russia after Putin is removed, we need to find and support our allies in Russia, so that we have peace after Putin is removed.
We need to look ahead to the future that we want to have, and then we need to draw the roadmap on how to get there.
Salute,
Tony V.
