More reproductions than a video of Trump

People drawn in a glass of water. They lack perspective. Look. You have all you need. I repeat. You have all you need to achieve your potential. And let me put you an example. Probably you know her. Her name is Emma Kok. Look for her on the internet. She became famous when she was 15 years old or so. She signs like the angels. If you look for her interpretation of the song “Voilà ”, you’ll see that it has more reproductions that any crap issued by Donald and Elon together, by far. Unfortunately, she suffers from gastroparesis, an illness that forces her to be connected to two feeding pumps for 22 hours a day in order to digest. If one day you feel like you can't handle something, watch this angel singing 'Voilà . Now. You’re a privileged. You have a mobile phone or a laptop, and likely both. Probably two eyes. Probably two hands, two arms and two legs. Probably, one head, and one brain. And now, you have the conscience of knowing that having all those things is all you need. Let’s go there, and get it. This can also help. ​Join my mentorship - Only $24.90 - LAUNCHING PRICE​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend. They will thank you enormously one day.

In 2001, the City entered into a 30-year PPP to deliver and maintain a group of new and refurbished schools. Seventeen of them....
I’m a PPP freak. You know… I heard in the news that Ghana will keep 70% of the toll revenue. Excellent. Seventy per cent is a very impressive number. Particularly before anyone asks: Seventy per cent of what? Ghana’s Parliament recently approved a 20-year PPP to introduce electronic tolling across 66 locations. The Government receives 70% of gross toll revenue. The concessionaire receives 30%. Great for a press release, some pictures and ceremonial pats in the back. Percentages are seductive....
1993. Argentina, the losers of the last World Cup. They are pros in Economics. This is why they signed a 30-year PPP with a nine-year business plan. What can get wrong? Nobody knew it was nine years. That was the problem. Or at least, one of them. The project was Aguas Argentinas. At the time, it was the largest water concession in the world.
