Another fantastic podcast. On the subject of Chile and as you are coming to Scotland, have you ever seen the film, Nae Pasaran? Scottish workers at the Rolls Royce factory boycotted and 'borrowed' engines destined for Chile during Pinochets dictatorship. Keep being you.

Thank you for all the comforting and healing podcast hugs. I started listening when I was traveling in Asia in 2017, I live in Vancouver now and I look forward to my weekly dose. I will read that economist lads book. I have learned, I have laughed over the years. I love that at the core your message is peaceful and loving. Thanks lad.
