And it’s a #democracy. With a lot of #guns. But not much gun violence. And no oil or gas. Except from compost, of course 😉 pic.twitter.com/eUb5fMc31y
And we speak 3 languages. And we have very differing views on a lot of things, including culture and #tax rates.

Maybe we should give money to those who just want money, and #money only?
That would eliminate billions of doctors, teachers, lawyers, politicians… even filmmakers. Who don’t care about our #health, #education, #justice, #democracy or beauty.

I think the Americans are just the wrong team to send into a mountainous country without much natural resources with a task to “install a peaceful #democracy”.
We should have either sent the #Swiss… 🤪
Or, the task should have been changed to “create a profitable opium-derivatives industry”. #Monetization is where the Americans always shine. 😂
