I also blame the Commission on Elections, which allowed her to run in the first place. Either they're lousy at checking her background, or they were bribed.
I could see this happening. Bribes are a common thing the US to allow rich people to skirt the law. The only difference is, in the US, it's disguised as a "campaign contribution".

I was listening to a show on the radio today of an interview of the CEO of a clothing manufacturer here in the US. She said she refuses to buy from China and buys from Vietnam instead because the Chinese manufacturers wouldn't let her inspect the manufacturing process.

I see Vietnam getting a lot of business from people getting turned off by Chinese manufacturing practices.

You know there are fires here in Vietnam in high rise buildings, not as bad as that one though but they do happen. I am on the top floor too, floor 41. I do think about that at times. Stay safe, po.

illini, I saw a lifelong friend the other day who says he's quitting his well-paying career and moving to Philippines or Thailand (says he's been a few times)

First person I thought of was you & how I should put him in contact & if you would recommend one of your Favorite places to him instead

I am not a fan of either of those countries I am sorry to say. If he wants to go to Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar or Laos I can help him.

Yes I remember

That’s why I am tempted to pass that on if I see him again and put him in touch with you if that’s ok

I’ll probably shoot you a private message soon in our existing convos
