I have an inherent bias against Europe now but I realize people still continue to gravitate towards the place. Most people simply want Europe to work (more so than Europeans want it to work).

Would You Consider Moving Here?
The Iron Curtain Continues to Flip I have keenly witnessed events take place where the countries that were always left-leaning over the last 100 years become more conservative, traditional, strict, and business-friendly.

Huge Potential For This Island
A Big New Gas Investment? Or Will It Be Illegal… During my trip to the rock known as the Isle of Man I had met a person on the island who commented about the significant offshore gas reserves. It was the first I had heard of such a thing, but it was sparked my interest. […]
