If we choose to change, just imagine what we can do. What makes America great has never been its perfection, but the belief that it can be made better. And that people who love this country can change it.

In hearings around the country, Americans reaffirmed our belief that this great nation can compete–and succeed–in the 21st Century but only if we take a new approach. One that is both innovative and faithful to the basic economic principles that made this country great.

We believe that it is essential to take immediate steps to stem the loss of manufacturing jobs. Taking these immediate measures will provide good jobs and will help the economy today. #FJB

1/ A neglected aspect of yesterday's "G7 Statement of Support for Ukraine" is how it talks about #Ukraine's #borders. The language is a positive development for those who (like me) believe the #war should end with #Russia gone from every square inch of Ukrainian territory. 🧵
2/ Many past statements by allied leaders have been notable for not even mentioning Ukraine's borders. President Biden's essay in the New York Times a month ago, outlining U.S. goals for its support of Ukraine, is a notable (and notorious) example.
3/ Yet yesterday's G7 statement on Ukraine addresses the issue of Ukraine's borders at least three times, all of them early in the statement. I quote each of those instances below (with added highlighting via capitalization).

Sunday border scramble in the sun, near Malval in Geneva. Political borders seeming dauntingly less trivial this week, as we think of people in Europe fleeing to safety across borders, while soldiers invade across others. #Geography #BorderNerds 🇫🇷🇨🇭
No. 138 We chased down lots of border stones in a marshy wood, of different ages. This one was apparently moved to save it from being swept away by the stream, so the marks on top indicate this, showing that the border follows the stream after this point.🇨🇭🇫🇷 #Border #Geography

As they inform themselves, they are funded by three parts:

Is that public money? 💰

1a) Have folks read #Article16 of the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland?
It's on p13 of this PDF: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl… and is quite short [left pic].
1b) Have they read Annex 7 [right pic, p62 of PDF] which describes the procedures to be followed?

Assuming the answers to (1a) & (1b) are Yes:

Minister of Health Nguyen Thanh Long warned on January 20 about the “very high” risk of COVID-19 transmission caused by the “extremely complicated” incidence of illegal border crossings as the Lunar New Year holiday (Tet) nears.
Minister of Health Nguyen Thanh Long warned on January 20 about the “very high” risk of COVID-19 transmission caused by the “extremely complicated” incidence of illegal border crossings as the Lunar New Year holiday (Tet) nears.
Noting the difficulty of illegal border crossings amid more rigorous authorities' border patrols, the Minister said that some countries in the region are still conducting commercial flights, so many overseas Vietnamese have flown to these countries and
have been trying to enter Vietnam by land. He added that more than 100 illegal crossings are discovered on average every day and as many as 500 on some days, urging relevant agencies and

The railway companies in Switzerland and Italy are temporarily suspending cross-border traffic.
As of December 10, 2020, there will be no more trains of the Swiss Railways SBB and Trenitalia across the border for an indefinite period, the SBB announced on Tuesday. "The decision is based on a decree of the Italian government," it said.
Italy requires controls that Switzerland cannot guarantee, said a SBB spokeswoman on request, including temperature measurement and the submission of a negative corona test.

Indonesia is considering reopening its international borders to frequent travellers, even as it is dealing with the largest virus outbreak in the country.
Indonesia is considering reopening its international borders to frequent travellers, even as it is dealing with the largest virus outbreak in the country.
Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said in a briefing on Thursday (Oct 22) that the issue is still being negotiated by different authorities and the government has not set a time frame for when a decision will be taken.
Since April, Southeast Asia's largest economy has closed its borders to foreign tourists. As coronavirus infections continued to spread across the region, an earlier plan to reopen Bali's tourist hotspot to foreign travelers in September was scuppered.

Eagle-eyed viewers among you will have spotted the first change.
The clauses have different numbers #⃣
Part 5 now starts with 42, not 40.
So the contentious clauses (which, "yes, do break international law") are now:
44 [export declns],
45 [state aid]
& 47 [law? schmaw!].

Even though SA has reported no community transmission of #COVID19 since April, Cass Leech was told she would have to go into two weeks quarantine if she wanted to attend her grandma’s funeral in Tasmania. #abc730 #auspol
“My uncle can get on a plane from Tasmania and come (to Adelaide) and he doesn’t have to self-isolate. Why isn’t that reciprocated? If he poses no risk to me, why do I pose a risk to him and Tasmania?” Cass Leech. #abc730 #COVID19Aus #auspol
When Chris South’s mother Judy was hospitalised last week he made an urgent attempt to cross over from Victoria into NSW to visit her. He was knocked back because his mother wasn’t terminally ill. “It was quite upsetting because we only live 40 kilometres down the road.” #abc730
Early on Saturday morning Chris received a call from the hospital telling him his mother had died. “I spent a bit of time on Sunday trying to figure out how I may then be able to go and see her and try and arrange a funeral.” #abc730 #COVID19Aus #borders
Judy was cremated yesterday in Sydney with no-one in attendance. “To abandon people and leave them to be buried in hospital gowns is just not Australian.” Chris South. #abc730 #COVID19Aus #borders

Following Event 201 (Oct 18 2019), we must concede that the ruling class has been gifted with phenomenal and prophetic intuitions & insights. (They truly are the chosen ones.) Thus it is worthwhile, even mandatory, to study their scenario exercises & simulations.
