No offense but NYC did not show its best colors for the 250th anniversary.
900 flights canceled and the most unhelpful gate attendants I've met in my life who literally couldn't care less not to mention the horror story of going to EWR (is everything broken!!!).

I am constantly reminded of the power of just being a regular human being and actively being interested in other people and their hobbies.

LOL we've spent the equivalent of Ecuador's GDP on this project so far.
We are going!
With Artemis II's launch, we've taken another step toward a long-term presence on the Moon. Here's a recap of the historic mission so far – and a preview of what's to come.

I just thought I'd share that in Argentine Reeboks are cheap and quail eggs abound, and the hummus is a good, and somehow that makes sense.
However, they do not have feta.
Apoyemos a @JimenaTolama y esperemos la pronta recuperación de su papá. ❤️
Apoyemos al maestro @marcotolama que se encuentra delicado de Salud 😔

This is Latam to Tulsa, an initiative part of Tulsa Local Ventures and supported by George Kaiser Family Foundation.
The program helps high-potential Latin American startups land in the U.S. with access to Tulsa’s innovation ecosystem and long-term growth opportunities.
It's always a mindtrip to see who you stay in touch with/who stays in touch with you when you move away. It's not always the people you saw constantly, sometimes it's the busy friend who still makes the time to follow up.
They end up becoming a ride-or-die.

I'm working again for the first time in a long time with my paisanos from the US, and one of the first thing I noticed is we like to build structure before we start operating. It's deeply refreshing.

Dusting off my international relations hat momentarily. @bloggingsbyboz is one of the most articulate analyst of LatAm affairs I have come across and has a brilliant piece on possible scenarios in Venezuela:

JJAJAJAJAJJAJAJAJAJJAJAJAJJAJAJJ, se pasó.
I think this year's biggest lesson (thankfully not lived too personally) is ignorance is not a defense.
There is no excuse for having not educated yourself especially if you decide to enter a new sector, start a business, or move to a new state/country.

Want to know a country? Live like a local.
I've been in Argentina for a month now. The city is beautiful and things are much better than 10 yrs ago, but the people, economy, and country have been shaped by hyper inflation you only see when you join in in the discount madness.
