Notes: 

yesterday i order some toys for my 2 year old son at Amazon. I was amazed that they email me later in the day saying that Your Amazon.co.uk order of "Orchard Toys Red Dog, Blue Dog" and 3 more item(s) has been dispatched! Amazon is a very good logistic business they can pack and ship my items in a matter of hours. 


Good news is no news. Unfortunately it's true. If i own a TV channel i would give notice to the wonderful things that are happening in the world everywhere. yes the world is getting better in everything for 200 years non stop, from poverty, to crime, to air pollution, hunger, disease , child mortality, longevity, quality of life, leisure time,  everything ...........but the media always tries to crate a view that the Good old times where so much better. There where never good old times, only struggle and pain. People love to complain.

what could disrupt this 200 year march of progress and prosperity? only one thing, lack of commerce, lack of globalization and treat to property rights. Yes just look at the only place in the world where progress and improvements are almost frozen for 70 years. Africa. NO property right and the borders are close to commerce.


Have a wonderful weekend. Here in Lisbon i hope to cycle outdoors.
