According to news sources in Europe, the EU (European Union) is at last reconciled to the loss of Britain as an equal trading partner and member of the ‘Club.’ Britons first voted on Brexit four years ago, but only this past year was Prime Minister Boris Johnson able to force a country-wide referendum with a specific time table for easing Great Britain out of the EU. Despite the many gloomy prognostications that this will mean the end of British business abroad, there are indications that some other countries in the EU are also considering a divorce. In Greece one of the top ruling parties, the Law and Justice League, has thumbed its nose at the EU authorities in Brussels by proposing a set of draconian laws that would radically change…

On Tuesday Spanish officials went ahead with approval of a joint declaration proclaiming that the country is experiencing a climate emergency. Spanish officials are forwarding the proposed proclamation to their parliament in the next several months in order to get their seal of approval on the document. European media report that the Spanish Cabinet have solidified environmental targets that are the same as those of the EU (European Union.) Those EU goals include reducing the net carbon emissions of all nations inside the EU to zero no later than the year 2050. And the Spanish government is now vowing that it will have 95 percent solar energy and other non-fossil energy status in the next twenty years.

f there’s one thing Italians know, it’s pizza. They invented it; they claim to be the only ones who know how to make it today; and they will guard its reputation zealously. So when an American franchise chain decides to challenge the pizza supremacy of the Italians, you know there’s going to be fireworks — and probably some calzone, cannoli, and little red wine, too. Gotta keep your strength up, right? Italians are no strangers to Domino’s Pizza — a brand they recognize as ubiquitous in the United States, but one that has managed to only open twenty-eight stores in Magna Italia in the past five years. That works out to around five new stores each year since arriving. But the CEO of Dominos in Italy, Alessandro Lazzaroni, has thrown…

For years Portugal has been a haven, a retirement El Dorado, for Europeans and Americans alike who want someplace warm and sunny, with easy access to both the seashore and the mountains — and, most important of all, a place where taxes are non-existent for seniors and foreigners, and the cost of living is relatively inexpensive. Portugal has met all these requirements for over forty years, when it first became a popular retirement spot for Britons weary of paying exorbitant taxes at home even after they stopped working. This was all made possible by Portugal’s celebrate ‘Non Habitual Residency’ visa — which gave foreign retirees freedom from any kind of taxation, so their pensions would stretch much further than in any other country in Europe. But all that is about…

Human rights organizations have just released figures for all of Europe for the year 2017, indicating that Iceland maintained the lowest exponential number of prisoners per one-hundred-thousand citizens in the European Union — just 39 per 100,000. Topping the list is Lithuania, where 232 out of every 100,000 are prisoners. After Iceland, the lowest prisoner populations were in Sweden, Finland, and Denmark, with around fifty prisoners per 100,000. The EU on average saw 116 people incarcerated for every 100,000 persons. That happens to be the lowest rate of incarceration in the past 20 years. The average of women prisoners is just five percent. The statistics do not include any juveniles under the age of 18. The Minister of the Interior in Iceland told reporters recently that the reason Iceland has…

One of the first things you notice when you set up an online business is that keeping a client does take work. While the majority of people know this, we are still not good at it.
