I wanted to make a positive post, but I can't find anything.
In my country, we haven't yet fully recovered from Hurricane Melissa and on top of that are losing our Cuban Doctors.
For fifty years we have had an influx of doctors from Cuba who are excellent. They spend some time here, then go back and are replaced by others.
Further, we got scholarships to attend medical school in Cuba.
Trump has shoved his ugly self into that, and our Chicken Prime Minister has bowed the knee, kissed the foot, and so that benefit is over.
Most Jamaicans are upset because Cuban doctors are first class. They have the best knowledge, often bring the best machinery.
Now?
It used to cost $162.00 Ja dollars for one US. Now it has dropped to $157 and declining. I assumed this is a world wide decline.
Every corner I look, whether Venezuela or Iran, Somalia or Nigeria is in turmoil. I can't turn on the news and not hear about bombs dropping, bodies mounting up.
This might be the worst year ever.

Yea, the US dollar is falling against every currency in the world right now but the rising oil prices is kind of pushing the dollar up again.
