Every decade, they keep at it. Race is a perfect lens to look at this long story.
At first, our racial issues were highlighted internally by Soviet propaganda as future sites of demonstration of failure of our system. "They live and treat each other as slaves!" Our
own intelligence and analysts worried indeed it might severely dis-unify us. Khruschev and Hoover surely agreed on one thing: keep an eye on those racial stressors!
Let me ask you, does the flag still wave?
Some decades, the Left is the weak link, the weak front. They've lost the faith, so to speak. They say this place is rotten. Got no heart. Some decades, why not the Right?
Flag still waves. And dig yer currency rates. The more US dollars you can portion away, the more you can cash in at 1:3 even a 1:4 ratio in a place that just simply works that way. Always remember, every dollar you spend here, is just a parity trade. 1:1.
lots of people need to get into the chill mobile. These are good days ahead. If you got US dollars as yer natural currency. Poor suckers in the host countries look at a 4:1 ratio! They can't even visit Cleveland!
