#1- Latin America is chock full of real leather products and every Latino with dough wears the real stuff all the time: If wearing animal products is against your religion you’d better not leave your comfortable cocoon, because if you visit south of the border you’ll be offended at every turn. #2- A word about Argentine steakhouses: In Buenos Aires, they really do have a top notch steakhouse on practically every corner.

#1- A rant for all of you EV (electric vehicle) and solar panel off-the-grid naysayers and doubters: Today you will hear the REAL, hard-ass engineering and material science facts regarding the latest greatest EVs and newest extremely cheap home solar power system energy solutions. I made this rant today simply because I know that so many of you do NOT read or have access to the latest science and solar rags. (or maybe its that reading the science and tech journals are just too boring for some). Anyway, so many of you only hear how solar and EV technology degrades the planet and encourages slave labor mining in 3rd world countries, etc., etc. Yes, all that was true up till about the last few years but NOT anymore! So listen and you will hear why today's media whiners and smarty pants non - scientific talking heads are all wrong about solar and EV's. Listen and hear a dozen reasons why, if you own your own house and have the roof or yard space, you owe it to yourself (and the planet) to go solar and get an EV asap or forever regret it. #2- Our own Expat Captain Mango has developed a unique one-on-one Crypto consulting and training service (he’s been deep into crypto since 2013).
