SSAB - June 24, 2026

Apostille update, re yesterday’s confusion. 1) Still have to send it to Ottawa, but then it has to go to the Chinese embassy to be authenticated. I’m ready to give up. Don’t care any more. I don’t think they even know what’s going on. Tomorrow I’ll go to the Canadian embassy anyway to get some documents in order.

Stonk market a dropping! China stonks getting SLAMMED! Do they PROCEED a US sell off? That would a North American sell off into November. But look at those banks… wow. Let this be a lesson!

China article: https://sinocism.notion.site/Implementation-Opinions-of-the-Ministry-of-Commerce-and-8-Other-Departments-on-Accelerating-the-Deve-38384ece41d781d5b4fde17458782cf9?pvs=27&qid=1%3Ad6203849-c2e4-498b-a64b-0e7e40c90763%3A0

Alan Greenspan passes away at age 100.

Getting points deducted from TikTok! Can’t live stream while displaying other documents?? Still using these as rehearsals for other publications.

Thinking… if one minute shorts pull 1000 views and 10 cents, what about 6-8 minute daily vlogs? What if… what if they were daily musings on the life of an expat in China?

Workout in! Upper body rows and shoulder presses, some legs for good measure. 7km run in 44.06. Should you do cardio before or after weights? And this thing has a recovery time. Ok?

Building websites… bro, do you even know how to HTML?

And yes, I forgot to put the audio file at the end of yesterday’s episode. Here’s another test.
