Oof. I wonder how that will work in the case of infrastructure like roads and bridges–long term tolls? At some point it has to eat away at whatever good will the Chinese were trying to buy.

What happens if countries just default? Do non-Chinese lenders care? Does it trash bond ratings across the board?

84 and humid in FL for Halloween, as usual. I miss a nice crisp fall.

Your "very old " is second wave. Further back is legit Jamaican Ska like the Skatalites and Desmond Dekker and early Wailers.

CIA as well. It’s easy to pass background checks when the hardest substance you use is Pepsi.
