Mexico elected their first Jewish President, maybe Mexico will soon be growing eggplant the size of watermelon. Mexico is investing in high speed trains, and airports, and in new resorts, and they are investing in their ports, etc, Mexico will be great in 20 years and people from Minnesota will want to retire to live on a cheap beach in Mexico.
Also, a rich investor from Monaco just bought a huge chunk of land in the Wine Country of California.
And a favorite in my family during hard times is "Great Depression Stew" where you just cook whatever is cheapest in a pot of stew; potatoes, celery, pasta, green beans, beans, corn, whatever meat is on sale, onions, bell peppers, carrots, etc, etc, etc, diced tomatoes, garlic, etc, topped with Parmasan Cheese, etc.
Also, being from California I love Oranges, I eat oranges everyday.
Also, Colombia is doing great, and they need to remember to expand trade with New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, and Colombian refugees can live in New Orleans, etc.
On the issue of the immigrants, we need to make them legal, and then put them all to work, like Reagan did. They can help to grow food, and build housing, etc, etc, etc, and we can build high speed trains, etc.
And California needs to keep working to expand our entertainment industry, and the San Miguel Corporation from the Philippines can invest in Hollywood, etc.
For the refugees from the Middle East, there is the Kiwanis Village in Victoria, British Columbia, where the children can eat Kellogg's Pop Tarts and where they can watch Disney cartoons while the adults work peaceful forest jobs, etc.
Salute,
Tony V.
