That's 10,000 pardons that Trump will eventually have to sign...without the use of an autopen.

The appeal of moving to an English-speaking country isn't just language. It's familiar legal systems, cultural references, and democratic institutions. Canada, Australia and New Zealand aren't utopias, but they do offer stability in uncertain times. #canada #australia #nz #podcast #expats #travel

The sooner that global leaders realize that appeasing and coddling Trump will not stop him from targeting them or meddling in their own democracies, the sooner they can protect their own national interests and global stability. Learn faster and stand up for your own people.

Thailand, Bali, Malaysia, or Philippines? Each offers unique advantages for remote workers seeking escape from US chaos. From $1000/month living expenses to world-class healthcare at 1/10 the cost.

Community vs isolation: In Honduras, people build their lives room by room as they can afford it. In America, we buy debt-filled houses with plastic facades. Which approach creates more meaningful connections?
