Back in 2021, my husband was scammed out of 2 billion won. Long story short, he purchased a large plot of land (South Korea). However, the land was located in a mountainous area designated as unfit for development, except for military or public use. Under the Forest Conservation Act, the area was virtually undevelopable, as it was meant to be preserved. Police believe that the real estate group subdivided the mountainous land into smaller lots and sold them to over 3,000 individuals, deceiving them by claiming to have insider information about upcoming redevelopment in the area.

    Even in Africa there are countries that invest in their citizens by providing free university education. How is America planning to stay relevant when so many citizens remain poor and uneducated?

        So it would seem so.

        Now that imports and exports are threatened, we might not se that many American products in the future. Well, Doritos and Coke are still on the shelf of my local supermarket, but I wonder how long will it be that way. Maybe one day the only American thing I can see are some old pirated movies.
