A Real Liberation Day
A message from a saner nation
Finished today’s travel and arrived to find the locals setting up to celebrate Liberation Day. In a saner nation than mine, that means the day they overthrew fascism, not the day they imposed crazy tariffs.
I first visited Portugal almost 50 years ago, working at the Banco de Portugal for three months. Back then many people wondered whether their two-year-old democracy would survive. It has. And these days I, like millions of others, wonder whether democracy will survive in America.
I am seriously considering trying to move to portugal at the end of the year. I know I am not alone. But 70 million of us cannot simply move abroad, its not possible. Sane Americans have to take back the country, for everyones sake.
Serious question: Are you worried about being detained by DHS when you arrive at the airport in New York? I am.
