It's becoming tabu
|
It’s a constant. When you talk freely about money you’re critized. And not just from Spain, the country that is a fiscal hell but the paradise of criticism and the prosecution of the rich, no… It’s everywhere. It’s becoming a kind of tabu. Look. The world is full of people who say, "money isn’t important". Good for them. But I think they don’t know what they’re saying. They just say it for the sake of saying it. It’s a cliché. If they stopped for a moment to think, they would realize that money matters to them more than they’re willing to admit. For money, they spend a large part of their lives doing things they deeply hate. So Spain is a poor country, or Spanish people poor in mindset. And it’s a pity, because some of the stories I tell in the book below, that money made through smart investing, are in Spain. And if you can make money there… trust me, you can everywhere.

And of course, no PowerPoint presentations explaining why delivery was becoming increasingly complicated. Just a country with a clear objective. And, of course, people determined to achieve it instead of jumping onto...
Yesterday, I received a bothering message from DHL indicating that my Canadian election package was in its way… So, today… Canada. 1907 Canada was building one of the most ambitious bridges in the world. The Quebec Bridge. A spectacular structure across the St. Lawrence River. Almost 550 metres between its main supports. A masterpiece of engineering. At least… as usual… on paper. The engineer was Theodore Cooper. Experienced. Respected. Confident. Very confident. Maybe too much… At some...
After a wisdom toothache, the one thing I most look forward to ending is an election campaign. New Zealand has a fascinating relationship with infrastructure. We want everything. European-quality public transport. Affordable housing. Less traffic. Lower emissions. And, of course, lower taxes. Beautiful. There's just one small problem. We don't want density. Everybody wants trains. Modern stations. Frequent services. Maybe even a metro. Like London. Or Paris. Or Madrid. But please, no...
