Are people in London getting nicer in 2025?

 January 13, 2025

Are Londoners nicer in 2025? 

We believe so. Compared to a couple of decades ago, London itself is much nicer and the people seem to be infused in the feeling. Everything seems to be going well and working alright in London. 

With the Trump dollar so incredibly strong against the British pound, London feels affordable for Americans. Lodging, transportation, and food are surprisingly affordable. 

Besides affordability, which is relative, London is visitor-friendly in many ways. Streets are clean and seem safe. Police presence is noticeable yet not overwhelming. Pickpocketing can be a risk while riding the underground metro like in all major European cities, but it should not be a problem if you secure your belongings and remain alert. 

London is a foodies' paradise with high quality restaurants representing almost every ethnic culinary region in the world. Food options are as varied and cosmopolitan as London itself. Unlike Paris and Rome, where the local cuisine significantly outshines international alternatives, in London the opposite is true. International food outshines British food in London. 

Customer service in London these days is phenomenal. It gives you a Bridgerton meets Downton Abby feel with polite, diverse, and generally well-intended support all around. 

Londoners themselves seem less tight and more relaxed than in decades past. Londoners appear to be more tolerant and less rigid. They also look healthy and seem to be taking relative good care of themselves. Although smoking remains significantly more prevalent than in the United States, obesity seems less prevalent in London. 

All the random observations above just to say that London is looking good and maybe better than ever before. If you haven't been to London in a few years, considering planning a visit this coming spring 2025. You may enjoy it and provided that the Trump dollar remains relatively strong as forecasted by experts, London will feel relatively affordable. By the way, don't waste too much money getting cash because mostly everything can be paid by contactless card. You can use your phone to pay for almost everything in London. 

In sum. London is super nice these days and Londoners are nicer than ever. Plan a visit to London in 2025. Let us know how it goes.

When will the Tesla bubble burst?

December 11, 2024 When will the Tesla bubble burst?  We don't know Fools rush in. It's impossible to know exactly when the Tesla bubble will finally burst. Unfortunately for us at Creatix, we began shorting Tesla too soon. We are down almost 40% on our position as of today. We are not fooling ourselves thinking that we were ever make money on the short position. We truly doubt that Tesla can go down 40% any time soon.  We would love to add to the short position, but it would exceed our $3,000 limit on the stupid bets that we do for fun. We're not Mr. Beast. We have a very limited budget for ridiculousness. We would love to short Tesla tomorrow morning at the ridiculous share price of $424. Tesla is trading at an incredible 116 times earnings, which gives Tesla a market capitalization of $1.32 Trillion. Elon Musk added today $13.4 billion to his fortune. Yes, $13 billion in one day. Yesterday, he had added $11 billion. Yes, that's $24 billion in 2 days.  Six months ago, ...

Are we closer to World War III after Assad's' fall in Syria?

December 8, 2024 Are we closer to World War III after Assad's fall in Syria?    Well, yes because World War III will be in the future and we are always closer to the future. Now, that future has not been created yet so it's impossible to predict it with full accuracy. Whether the world moves into WWIII after Assad's fall will greatly depend on what Putin decides to do. After all, Assad is hiding in Russia from where he could try to organize a come back. We should all prepare for WWIII. Sooner or later WWIII will be real. Perhaps we are already at the initial stages and have not realized it. a WWIII will most likely bring significant human suffering and significant technological advances. Who will win, how will WWIII play out? No one knows yet. The future has not been created yet.  In this post we take a quick look into Syria's history including who is Bashar al-Assad, and what may happen in Syria and the region now that Assad's regime collapsed and the dictator is i...

What is the best deal for Panama?

February 1, 2025 What is the best deal for Panama? Trump wants the American Canal in Panama back. What should Panama do?  Panama should lease the canal to the United States. Panama can then hope that a future president can end the lease or renegotiate it in the future. Panama earns about $5 billion a year operating the canal. Panama should negotiate a lease with the United States that allows Panama to either earn or save about that amount per year. The lease may call for improvements to the canal paid by the United States. The lease may call for other economic concessions to Panama such as a special trade agreement, tariff exemptions, direct U.S. investments in Panama, fintech and cryptocurrency deals, etc.  Panama should see Trump's interest in the canal as a blessing in disguise and as an opportunity to enter into a strategic money-making deal. Panama should not see itself as a victim. The truth is that the United States built the canal and that the United States freed Panam...
