I play everyday. I observe the my environment and find joy in the moment. I create things and I teach. I try to make the world a better place in small ways. American in Japan since the last century.
Oh not at all. You misconstrue and I expressed myself poorly. I am all for keeping USAID. I think it is ridiculous that anyone would think that $259 per taxpayer (or any amount) is worth the disruption of international goodwill and human dignity.

If so, killing USAID just gave every taxpayer in America $259 tax relief.
(I know that's not how it works, but the raw math is $40 billion budget divided by 154 million taxpayers)
Definitely make a statement in your socials and on your booking sites. If you need help crafting the words, let me know.

I have warm memories of the annual Hickory Farms box from Aunt Lou. I hope the arrival of fruits or chocolate treats to my family make a similarly happy impression.
This would be hilarious as a novel or a film.
