Congrats on the boosts! It shows you're doing something right. BTW, any new updates on if you're going to Peru? My wife's from Peru also, and I'm always interested in new info. from that part of the world.

Cheers

We just returned a few weeks ago. We were there for 2 weeks. My wife's parents had some concerns about safety when I went and visited friends, but I think their perspective is a result of sensationalized news programs. When I was out and about, I felt as safe as always.

Yeah, their newscasts always emphasize the crime, but we were there a couple months ago and it seemed normal, even after the ex-president's coup attempt (or whatever you want to call it) in December. Also, my wife says that she heard about some sendero luminoso figure threatening to march on Lima. I don't have any specific details, but was wondering if you heard of anything like that?

Cheers

The title of your boosted article makes sense if someone has read your past Medium articles-because nobody seems to get more frustrated with how America (doesn't) work than you.

This country is too powerful not to work. The most irritating thing is how many people with platforms and positions of power are so delusional about the obvious flaws. Grrr....
