93/ I ❤️ heartland visas.
This is the perfect solution not just for our heartland but also for Africa!
Two global demographic pathologies (population growth & decline, old & young population) compensate perfectly for a nice win-win solution!

94/ Energy is the fundamental essential resource of prosperity for both industrial & information economies.
Lower energy prices favor countries that have the biggest growth curves ahead of them.
Favorable winds.
Fantastic for Africa.

95/ Ethiopia plants gazillion trees.
The more important thing is that Ethiopia is not waiting for handouts or over-priced clueless colonial consultants.
Once you make that turn, there is no looking back.
Ethiopia’s prosperity is inevitable.

97/ OMG! I love this story.
Rich Kenyans get cutting edge medical care in India!
Some hippos still go to Europe.
But smart cheetahs know the world; they shop the world!
Fantastic win-win for both economies.

100/ Inevitable upside of “brain drain”. Happened in India too.
Given a choice, everyone would love to go home.
Emigres are ambassadors not “brain drain”.
Lots more brains where they came from.
African emigration to Europe & US is an investment.
