Hah, indeed, the story could have happened yesterday. Except maybe thinkpad prices in europe have normalized a bit ;)

What I didn't write is that my feelings towards the USA were 95% positive back then. A bit less after the chase and the Bronx visit, but still. Obama made everything feel hopeful. The current situation is just depressing.

The fun one one, where a Dutch parent feels it's safe to send 2 teenagers unaccompanied to the US for a brief visit.

Apart from safety, the rhetoric of the US government regarding the invasion of former allies has led a lot of people to try really hard to boycott as many American products as they can.

I was going to say,

pretty sure this story could have happened last week.

Except for the hotel prices. And Thinkpad prices.

They need to go back to Staten Island and find one that fell off a truck. Tell ‘em Fat Tony sent you.
