Just Met Two American Missionaries (mormon) working in Addiction Recovery in Moscow.
(a) Why do americans and anglos do so much of this kind of work?
(b) Does christianity inspire more of it, or is it a function of wealth? (why doesn’t japan for example?)
I know there are some of you who know this answer. But I don’t,

Trump for King!!!!!
(actually, not a bad idea)
This history seems a bit biased, but it’s exciting none the less. 😉
His dad’s name was Fred Trump – who made his first fortune operating boom-town hotels, restaurants and brothels in the Northwestern United States. (Seattle!!!)
Drumpf was born in 1869, to Katherina (Kober) and Christian Johannes Trump.in the old Pfalz town of Kallstadt, where his family worked in a vineyard,
Trump emigrated to New York City in 1885 at the age of 16 with empty pockets and worked as a barber for six years. In 1891, he moved to Seattle, Washington, and established a “decadent” restaurant (likely to have also been a brothel) known as the “Poodle Dog” (identical in name and format to a restaurant in San Francisco). It was around this time that Trump anglicized his name to Frederick Trump, and became a naturalized United States citizen.
In 1901, sensing the end of the gold rush and fearing a crackdown on prostitution, Trump sold his investments and used the proceeds to return to Germany.
In 1902, Trump returned to Kallstadt to marry his old neighbor Elizabeth Christ (October 10, 1880 – June 6, 1966). German authorities determined that Trump had emigrated from Germany to avoid his tax and military-service obligations, and he and his pregnant wife were consequently expelled from the country.
He returned to the United States and worked as a barber and restaurant manager in Woodhaven, Queens, where his sons Fred and John were born in 1905 and 1907, respectively.
Trump died of pneumonia during the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic. At the time of his death, he was beginning to invest in real estate development in Queens; his wife and his son Fred would continue his real estate projects under the Elizabeth Trump & Son moniker.
By the time he died in Queens at the age of 49, he had built up a fortune worth $31,642.54 – or around $542,000 in today’s money.
He left his small fortune to his wife Elizabeth, who used it to go into business with her eldest son Fred Jr, who was just 15 at the time. The pair created the Trump empire, which is now headed by Fred Jr’s son, Donald.

(As far as I know, there is very little that can compete with hydrocarbons other than nuclear power (steam), and there isn’t much logical or scientific evidence to suggest there will be. So the sooner we build one safe reactor per million people, the sooner we will get away from hydrocarbons. Because it is only at that scale that nuclear energy will approach the cost of hydrocarbons, and no other technology holds anywhere near the promise. Radioactive material decays no matter what we do. The universe is full of it. And you can keep refining it forever.)
