When I went to Mexico with Youth For Christ as a teen to share the love of Christ with the poor and with the orphans in Mexico, I was taught that because we are affluent then it is up to us to help the poor.

Regardless of how poor I may be personally at the moment, the USA is not a poor nation, and for a while I had a step dad who was the boss of the Space Shuttle Program which was an over $100 Billion program, the USA is rich. Go walk around Beverly Hills and look at the houses. So, because we are rich then it is up to us to help the poor. To those whom much is given then much is expected from. I was taught that we are wealthy and affluent and that it is up to us to help the poor and to share the love of Christ with them. Not build walls.

And the USA is the most powerful nation on Earth so it is up to us to set the tone. It is like being the toughest guy on the playground and you need to make it safe and fun for the pretty girls and for the littler guys, etc. So the tone that we need to have with Mexico is a tone of Brotherhood. And we need to make it safe and fun for the pretty girls, etc.

We are wealthy and powerful so that we might help to make the world a better place for the poor and the weak.

Salute,

You could easily power a nation with ten times your population with a good power grid and the amount of sun you get.  You only need fossil sources as bridge fuels, while you build storage and solar/wind installations.  Ohce you have STORAGE systems, the intermittent nature of solar/wind won't be a problem.  This has been explained here before.

I had the perfect agent for a short time, here in Anaheim, she had an office on Brookhurst, she was a beauty queen from Italy, she was Miss Italy in around 1998, and her dream was to be an agent. She had an agency in Italy, but her dream was to succeed here in California. Sadly she failed, and she went back to Italy poor. Show Business is tough. She was sweet and very beautiful. I have always liked the beauty contestants, I had a friend who dated one and took us to the parties for the beauty queens. I was sad that she failed, I thought for sure she would be successful, she was beautiful and enthusiastic, she had a great attitude, but she did not make it. Maybe as the Entertainment Industry grows in Anaheim then there will be more opportunities for people in the future.

Salute,

Thanks.

NASA and others can help you, and there is Solar, Geo-Thermal, Wind, Hydro, etc. My Mother loves solar in the desert where she has solar panels on her roof with Tesla Batteries for storage. She has a swimming pool for the hot summer days.

And Natural Gas is fine, we use Natural Gas here in Anaheim for our City Power Company, and the electric company is owned by the people of Anaheim and we sell electricity to Disneyland, etc.

Be sure to own your own source of electricity, and water, and natural gas, etc. Do not let foreign companies own the things that you need for basic survival.

We need to build schools in Kentucky, and we need to educate and train the poor to become Doctors, Psychiatrists, Dentists, etc.

Recently David Geffen donated a lot of money so that people can attend Yale for free, and no one complained.

Also, the Monks used to make and sell cheese, and champagne, and wine, etc, to make money to build churches to spread Christianity and they Educated the Youth in the schools they built. The Monks used to teach the poor.

So, people can donate to educate the poor and no one will complain, and also people can get creative as they look for ways to make money to educate the poor.

And if we want Doctors then we need to train them, we need Doctors, and Psychiatrists, and Dentists, etc.

We also need to give a free education to the orphans and to the children who do not have fathers, etc.

No one benefits from poverty and ignorance, while we have so much to gain by educating and training the youth to fill the jobs of the future, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

An Australian man today was admitted to a hospital after he inserted 20 plastic toy horses in his rectum.

Doctors are describing his condition as stable.

Trump invited the President of China to his inauguration, and I hope he brings Muzi, it would be cool if Natalie Portman could help to escort Muzi, etc.

And Kentucky is doing great, Kentucky is strong right now, and Nevada is doing great, Georgia is doing great, etc. Biden was doing a good job. The Unions are all strong right now and the workers all got raises and better benefits. And Trump will be forced to win the support of the United Farm Workers.

The restaurants and grocery stores in New York all need the healthiest and best food available. And whatever you want, we can have the refugees and immigrants provide it with the United Farm Workers. And if you want Lobster then the immigrants can work at Lobster farms, etc. But Trump needs to keep the immigrants happy, and Trump needs to make workers legal. We need to have fat and happy and legal workers. The USA is rich, it is time to enjoy the extreme wealth of the USA. Las Vegas, Anaheim, Orlando, Hollywood, etc, it will all get better.

California is rich right now, and we have had a lot of rain, so we can grow a lot of food, etc. And Mayor Bass is helping the homeless, and Rep. Lou Correa is providing funding for Crisis Intervention Specialists to handle emergencies instead of armed police officers. We need more specialists.

Maybe we can get Edgar Bronfman Jr to open a new movie and television studio here in Anaheim, he is a cool, wealthy Jew, and he was one of the most powerful men in the world when he owned Universal Studios and Seagram's 7.

Plus we have Disney, etc, and in Los Angeles Black Diamond Pavers can hire the homeless, etc.

It will get better, we cannot let Trump mess it up. Biden has been doing a great job.

Salute,

Tony V.

Bambu, you are rich on Lithium, you are way ahead of the game...

-------

 The majority of the world's lithium mines are located in Australia, Chile, and China, which together account for over 90% of global lithium production.

-----------

We also have Lithium out by the Salton Sea. The Salton Sea is a great spot for people to live in their RVs and Travel Trailers in the Winter months, and Palm Springs is great in the Winter. And there are some small lakes and date farms, etc. Indio is nice in the Winter months, etc. Lots of immigrants from the Southern Border come to work on the date farms, etc. In 2021, California produced 59,450 tons of dates from 15,600 acres. Yield per acre was 3.81 tons, priced at $3,880 per ton. The total value of the crop was $228.6 million. So that area has Lithium, tourists, people in the RVs, and date farms.

Anyhow, Australia has a lot of Lithium, you guys are rich when it comes to Lithium.

Also, Australia is welcome to invite some of the refugees from Mexico to live in Australia. ( Watch the movie "A Shrimp on the Barbie" starring Cheech Marin and Emma Samms about a Mexican-American living in Australia. ) Just tell UNICEF and the United Nations that Australia wants to be a safe haven for refugees from Mexico and from Latin America. And Kiwanis International can help. And just tell them what you want and they will provide it for you, the Mexicans are very hard workers.

And we can all continue to expand trade. Coffee from Colombia, Wine from California, Lithium from Australia, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

As of March 2022, there were 93,795 people in Australia who identified as having South American, Central American, or Caribbean ancestry. This represents 0.43% of the total Australian population.

The Latin American community in Australia has been growing rapidly, and over one third of the current Latin American population in Australia arrived in the last decade.

The community includes people from many different countries, including:

Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, and Guyana.

The languages spoken in the Latin American community include Spanish, Portuguese, and English

There are over 6,000 Mexicans in Australia now and the population is growing.

--------

Australia needs fresh new blood so that they do not have birth defects and mental illness, etc, you need to bring in fresh new genes to mix with the gene pool. It is good that people from Mexico and from Latin America are migrating to Australia.

And Bambu, it is nice to have a maid. I had a maid from El Salvador, her name was Consuela, she was great, she was a butcher for a while in El Salvador but in Malibu she worked as a maid. So the people of Australia can have maids from El Salvador, etc.

And put the immigrants to work at whatever you want, lobster farms, whatever.

We can send ships full of goods between California and Australia, and also between New Orleans and Australia, etc. We can do world trade.

Salute,

Tony V.
