I like colors and shapes. Currently no LN wallet connected (un-zappable)

You have lego flowers!!

I haven't seen Japanese cherry flowers for 18 years. Long long time :)

early cherry flowers, I found

Probably only in Japan I can find this type of thing as a decoration at a restaurant. This thing is alive; they water it.

Yes!

Not just those written in English. Across international literature. Russian, Chinese, Greek etc. Good older stories.

Im in Ja-pang. Beautiful Mt. Fuji from the window.

Very good question. Language rhythm and word choices do matter for me. But sometimes the story is everything.

Some fiction remains with me for decades.

Nowadays, the reality surpasses any fictions. Thus, it is probably more difficult to create stories that capture readers. I rarely read fictions now.

Was thinking about tariff situations.

In addition to the three countries, if trump to impose tariffs on EU and Japan etc (not sure this is planned), these countries ultimately need to shift their market to, at least partly, from the US.

It will be China (as it has a lot of populations). Then, they need to strengthen a tie to China and BRICS for the trade purposes.

Will this help China rather than weaken?

Trump's tariffs will pull the world to the multi-polar direction in a theory (?)

Martin. Armstrong said, the US can print money as much as they want, we don't need income taxes. He is against tariffs which he believes to cause inflations. I like him although I know he is not popular among BTCers.

I don't know anything about macro economics. Not sure he is right or not. The part 'money can be printed' made sense to me.

I am in the US.

Art supplies prices have been going up consistently in recent years. But this is not due to tariffs yet.

You are right - Trump may not follow through his tariffs. But once it is on even for temporarily, art supplies will be very expensive that I cannot afford. Since most of things are imported.

Since I rely on imported papers, I am afraid that I cannot afford ha

As the BTC price goes up, the tariff goes up, art supply prices go up.

I try to stock my art supplies in advance.

Also I think about keeping and changing my art practices inside the range that I can afford.

It is a challenge, But it shows me new avenues to explore and is a fun thing to do.

oh I don't have a wallet connected now. Thanks though.
