Have a safe trip to California, Asha! The Freedom Academy is the primary macro concern in my view of the world. It's always a pleasure to read your newsletter (its the only substance account that I am currently registered with), and the essential lessons provided by history. I'll have to watch the documentary when it is released....Pablo Escobar was certainly newsworthy in the 1990s, but apart from remembering him as "dangerous kingpin drug dealer", I don't recall the details. That you raise his profile to argue how his tactics are relevant to the threat to democracy has drawn my attention. But as we all need a laugh at one time or another, I greatly enjoyed the final sentence..."the only difference between Escobar and Trump is that Escobar was rich." Thanks, Asha!!!

Speaking of Pablo Escobar, you know you can stay at his house in Tulum. It's now a boutique hotel and pretty cool! Casa Malca. https://casamalca.com

Why is it that everything you say here about Escobar could be accurately attributed to what they describe as “best practices”?
