Ya. Great article.

We should collabo (you can take the by line) on the history of those who chose to take up residence in Europe and other places.

We are both vets. There are pros and cons to staying and fighting for the only country we have ever known, but has really never rated us on a merit.

I see the whole if you are a woman and/or a minority and "If you have a job, you are DEI" as how it's always been. Now people can say it openly.

That sounds interesting because I've considered the idea from my travels. I have admired African Americans who have done it. In fact, I'll be travelling to Italy in another week with an educational tour (high school kids). I'll be making notes anyway for my granddaughters but I'll keep this in mind. Probably contact you in another month. 😉

Me too. My five passions are on my blurb but one is traveling. I notice almost right away if there is any sort of discrimination. It can be refreshing when there isn't.

When you step back and see how unhealthy our relationship with the US is, you consider other options.

I've had and continue to have a great career- my next adventure starts Monday. The Canadians have requested my expertise, which is a mind stimulator - but with things looking hairy here, I'm not interested in a situation akin to the Hunger Games, which may come about considering the economic turn.

Enjoy. Ruminate. Hit me back at your convenience.
