Yeah, how do you deal with that?

Why not call it SpheriCOW?

I feel the same way. That I'm just put through the consume more and more treadmill and it's on social media, news feeds, YouTube, tv and so on.

So, don't condense your thought here, I would love to read everything.

The melting of ice caps, glaciers and others make no difference then.

Gosh, what a journey.

Hope you wife is doing better.

I agree. But I also think that, then, the size of the vehicles will decrease to accommodate these new realities. Perhaps no steering wheel, smaller dashboard, no need to divide seats. There's lots of space savings to be had.

Places where I felt happiest: a beach, a mountain, a city.

Genuine question: why is TikTok viewed as a risk? How does it differ from Facebook or Twitter with all the fake news, threats, etc.

Imo, the way that some have instrumentalized Western social media for disinformation is a bigger threat than allowing a competitor

The main factors for Brazil's growth have nothing to do with size of population alone, there are other countries with similar population that are not on same level.

A combination of social policies, fiscal responsibility (or a semblance of it compared to other countries), agro business being the locomotive, a resurgence of heavy industry coupled with Gov. backing (aero/space, oil refineries, etc) and family consumption have helped the country recently.

The current president, and his party, deserves credit for many of those achievements but not all. Let's remember that this is a process that started on the 90s and, yes, accelerated under the current president and his party. Not all have been roses and there is plenty of criticism but it is a change of pace that was much needed.

If not been for the disastrous policies, COVID being the prime example, of the previous administration which turned the economy and politics upside down the country would be further ahead now. I would say we are back where we were, also 8th economy,

We still face many issues: dysfunctional congress, high inequality which leads to violence. But in general, I'd say, we are on the right path.

It's unclear to me what you are trying to say here.

Is this political activist in the room with us?

That's highly unusual. How do their cars move?
