@mikerusanoff I spent time in Luanda a number of years back. It was very expensive!

@energy_mar Which years? I was there from 2014-2016

@mikerusanoff Traveling requires time - time has too be freed

@presley_dev A bit out of scope

@mikerusanoff Great to hear from Mike. This comes back to me to start asking people like Mike have made to the top. When did you take this pic.

@robertbogere11 2015 most probably in Cabinda

@mikerusanoff This is endemic in Africa. I live in South Africa and see it all over. Many men have lost hope. It is a massive challenge. There are not enough jobs and people are taught to go to school and get a job. We need to help people wake up

@DylaninCapeTown When there is no food, you plant a tree, but not drinking beer, right? We should help for sure

@mikerusanoff I can't speak on the gender dynamics but I know here in the US people turn to substances, including unhealthy food, because it is an attainable goal. A $2 beer is much easier to attain than a car, or a nicer house. Sure, being short sighted is a culprit, but it's more than that.

@lanneabrooks It is more, of course. But we should seek help and advice

@mikerusanoff Accurate. This is a disease common in many countries around the world unfortunately.

@mikerusanoff You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. The people we spend time with influence us more than we realize. Look at your closest friends and family. Do they uplift and inspire you, or do they bring and keep you down?

@mikerusanoff It's sad, but some people are more comfortable complaining than they are doing anything about it. It's also a problem of having an external focus of control vs internal.

@mikerusanoff My dad saw this in Cuba. They have no hope. They have food lines. But I have seen the lush countryside where they grow the food. There must be work and food there somewhere. 🤷‍♀️

@mikerusanoff You truly learn so much while traveling. Seeing different perspectives on life. Seeing different struggles and pains. One thing I've noticed in Madeira also. A lot of people are chilling in the bars at 9 10 am. And apparently, it is a struggle for locals to live here.…

@mikerusanoff Sad truth. If you’re tired of being poor, fix it.

@mikerusanoff So sad! Many are indeed burdened with self inflicted sufferings.

@mikerusanoff Those people in the third world countries are just slacking, my man!

@mikerusanoff If you want things to happen, you have to take action. Can’t sit there and wait for things to happen.

@mikerusanoff Today I gave some money to an old lady To be honest most poor people can at least make little but they want it FREE And they send their small children to ask for money so people will give them
