..but we are firmly still looking for the second best...or maybe not even that ?

The biggest problem with Africa (and is starting to get old)....
..is the elected (or unelected) bandits and thieves, whose priority is to steal from the people of their countries. Here the former president of Angola (a Marxist !?), and his always smiling (she has a reason) daughter....the "richest woman in Africa".

Alarm clock....
Mining money....
..the contribution to micro local economy by international chains is rather limited. Their main purpose is to dig money in a location....and move it elsewhere.

The regime of Iran....
..mainly consisting of hypocrites, liars and incompetent, have now sent those who filmed the attack on the civilian Ukrainian airplane to prison. Punishing people who come out with the truth (a crime against national security) is a top priority.

San Francisco, city of (no) shame....
..a common sight in the streets of SF
US most expensive city (one out of 11 000 inhabitants in SF is a billionaire). Common working people can not afford to live there anymore due to property prices, rental cost (3000 dollars/monthly for one bedroom apartment), private tourist accommodation...and so on. One of the results of such a "wealthy" city is 10 000 homeless people living in the streets due to drug-related problems, mental health problems, unemployment (or miserable salaries), and poverty. Massive cutbacks to mental health and public housing development as a result of neoliberal carcinoma, pushed the situation to a breaking point out of control. Because what you see in the streets of San Francisco, a few blocks away from the most expensive hotels, is no longer what we in Europe call poverty. What goes on in SF is a profound dehumanization of the most vulnerable.
