RomanceRe: Ladies, A Fine Man Without Muscles Or An Average Looking Man With Muscles? by Cousin9999: 3:40pm On Jan 09, 2022
Women respond to personality, face, body, money, and status.

Personality goes a long way. Money or status go a long way. There are lots of guys with the body and/or looks, but that's not enough to take them beyond casual involvement unless the woman is a bimbo.

That said, workout and groom. Regardless of what your partner wants, take care of yourself.

Greenland with Gerard Butler

I thought it would be kinda wack and have a bunch of bad/excessive CGI. It's still what you expect from the genre, but more emotional and realistic.

1. It's not that bad. Don't worry. And you can clear that up in a few days.
2. It could be a rash or reaction. Maybe seek out a physician or dermatologist.
3. Hygiene goes a long way. Anything and everything your skin comes into contact with can cause that, e.g. oil, dirt, germs, chemicals, material. It seems to be in one area. Try to manage your skin exposure better. Find a good system that works for you regarding skin cleansing and moisturizing. Some people like to use certain products or instruments. See what works for you, but try not to damage your skin in the process. Avoid harsh chemicals unless they're prescribed.
4. Diet goes a long way. Drink more water. Avoid junk food, fast food, and too much boxed food. Stick with fresh produce, fresh protein, and yam/rice. Limit your sweets. Limit your alcohol. Stop smoking.
5. Body fat percentage and weight management play a role. This impacts your hormones, which affects skin. It also affects mood, stress, and other aspects of health which can change the appearance of skin.
6. Fitness also affects mood, stress, and etc which can alter skin.

TravelUS Recruits South African Truck Drivers As It Struggles With Shortage by Cousin9999(op): 12:54am On Jan 08, 2022
A shortage of truckers across the US has become so severe that companies are trying to bring in drivers from abroad like seemingly never before.

For the first time in her 10-year trucking career, Holly McCormick has found herself coordinating with an agency in South Africa to source foreign drivers. A recruiter for Groendyke Transport, McCormick has doubled her budget since the pandemic and is still having trouble finding candidates.

The US has been grappling with a chronic lack of drivers for years, but the shortage reached crisis levels because of the pandemic, which simultaneously sent demand for shipped goods soaring while touching off a surge in early retirements. The consequences have been both dire and far-reaching: Filling stations have had fuel outages. Airports have run short on jet fuel. A stainless-steel maker declared force majeure. And lumber prices hit a record, with some suppliers partly blaming delivery delays.

As McCormick put it: “If we’re not able to haul these goods, our economy virtually shuts down.”

Trucking has emerged as one of the most acute bottlenecks in a supply chain that has all but unraveled amid the pandemic, worsening supply shortages across industries, further fanning inflation and threatening a broader economic recovery.

“We’re living through the worst driver shortage that we’ve seen in recent history, by far,” said Jose Gomez-Urquiza, the chief executive officer of Visa Solutions, an immigration agency with a focus on the transportation industry.

As a result, demand for Visa Solutions’ services from the trucking industry has more than doubled since before the pandemic, and “this is 100% because of the driver shortage,” he said.

Bringing in more foreign workers faces a number of hurdles including visa limits and complicated immigration rules, but trucking advocates see an opening now to overcome some of those obstacles after the Biden Administration created a task force to address the supply chain problems impeding the economic recovery.

In July, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Labour Secretary Marty Walsh, and Meera Joshi, deputy administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, held a roundtable meeting with the trucking industry to discuss efforts to improve driver retention and reduce turnover.

Among the measures the industry is seeking is lowering the minimum age to 18 from 21 for interstate drivers and adding trucking to the list of industries that can bypass some of the Department of Labour’s immigration certification process.

That would be a boon to Andre LeBlanc, vice president of operations at Petroleum Marketing Group, which oversees fuel delivery to around 1 300 petrol stations, mostly in the northeast. Some of those depots have seen shortages for as many as 12 hours because "we simply can’t re-supply them because we don’t have the qualified drivers", he said, estimating the group needs about 40 more to run at full capacity. Meanwhile, of the 24 drivers LeBlanc has tried to hire through a federal immigration program, only three have gotten through all steps of the verification process.

"We’ve got 21 drivers right now who are qualified, who can come to this country the right way and are ready to come here and solve this problem," he said. "We can’t seem to get an answer on what we need to do to move that forward."

That looks like a great investment opportunity. Build a few modest hotels, bars, restaurants, shops, and concert venues. Also, build stalls and rent them cheap to locals to sell different small goods.

The only problem is the beaches could end up dirty.

What you call "corruption" is actually:

- Proxy armies
- Foreign-backed stooge politicians
- Foreigners looting resources
- Grossly unfair trade

This and other outside manipulation creates conditions where the manpower and intellectual labor needed in development are occupied by dealing with chaos, or it's gone because people want to escape chaos. It of course also removes the financial resources needed in development.

TravelRe: What Is The Population Of Nigerians In The Diaspora? by Cousin9999: 11:51pm On Jan 04, 2022
Oyinbos have an incentive to underreport these figures. Among other things, they want black/African people to believe they're a minority and don't have the numbers to do certain things. They lie about the black American population too.
TravelRe: What Is The Population Of Nigerians In The Diaspora? by Cousin9999:
Where do people get estimates? Likely from:
- money wired to Nigeria
- people getting services from NGOs around the world
- visas
- how much money is spent on Nigerian products
