SSAB - March 14, 2025

Beware the Ides of March! Or something like that. Thanks Shakespeare. (It’s tomorrow.)Back in Shuangjing, went for a run, feeling rather sluggish. This is a new schedule I’m getting used to.Stock market correction, so what? Good time to buy. China turning around. GOLD over $3000 USD, Bitcoin down to $84,000 USD.Vlogs are’t landing, a couple hundred views, so very little generated by way of adsense. That’s also why I want to build out other ways to earn online.And a talk with cab driver, from Hebei. Divorced (she left me because I have no money). Won’t start a business because he has no money (wants to get into shipping). Would like to go to Canada and wants my help (told him I have no way of getting him there since I can’t sponsor visas). I told him I’m looking for another video editor, does he know how to do it? Would he learn? He asked about the rate ($6 per 1 minute of video).Interesting situation I have here: costs in China, but money going to Canada now. Hmmmm.Donate to the show!
