And there's my first smile of the day. You have my thanks.
I had to scroll back and find out what it was I had posted, but I'm glad you enjoyed it. Hope you had a few more of those smiles as well.

Interesting read on how high tax states are not scaring away businesses and high paid CEOs.

In addition to pointing out how moving Chipotle's headquarters to the California home of the new CEO will cost the CEO more in taxes than if he relocated to Denver, it also notes economic growth of some high tax states such as New York and California outpacing some low tax states such as Kansas and Wisconsin. Texas is doing well also.

Not a single shot of the license plate of the limousine.

One thing I'll say about King Jung Un is I like his suits. He always seems to wear the same one, though.

Kim haircut makes him look like
a fat buffoon. He's very hard to
take seriously.

In the video where security runs alongside,
they show front and back and the limo has
no plates.

I hate it when that happens.

I don't know if it is just me but I often see a face and it reminds me of another face but I can't immediately recall whose. That was the case with the leader of Singapore. It finally came to me who I was thinking of.

First, here is the Singapore prime minister Lee Hsien Loong.



Second, here is actor David Thewlis as seen in season 3 of Fargo. He was also the villain in the Wonder Woman movie.

.

He looks more like Mr. Loong when he smiles but I couldn't find an appropriate picture.

Others probably don't see the resemblance as much as me. A long face and big goofy smile.

He looks like every middle aged
Asian character actor in the movies
or TV.

I wouldn't be surprised if all middle-aged white men looks the same to him too.

He is known to want to look like his grandfather, a sort of god now. Some say plastic surgery has been done to help. Might have something to do with the otherwise inexcusable haircut, but looking at images does not suggest it
