  1. When you mention, in your talks, the President of Tanzania, John Magufuli, I think of this article from ZH, and it gives me pause:

    “Burundi President Dies Of Sudden Heart Attack At 55; COVID-19 Suspected”
    https://www.zerohedge.com/health/burundi-president-dies-sudden-heart-attack-55-covid-19-suspected

    “The Guardian reports that Nkurunziza refused to impose pandemic restrictions on the impoverished African country, allowing political rallies and sporting events to proceed. Authorities have been accused of deliberately downplaying COVID-19, which has killed over 5,000 people on the African continent and infected nearly 200,000.

    The nation of 11 million people has reported 83 cases of Covid-19 and officials have cited divine protection for Burundi’s ostensibly low infection rate and urged citizens to go about their daily lives without fear.

    Nkurunziza’s spokesperson said that although the country may be hit by the pandemic, “Burundi … has signed a special covenant with God, whether you believe it or not”.

    1. This is why political leaders are doing what the central bankers are saying. Carrots and sticks. For many, the stick is death.

  3. Dear Catherine,

    Thank you for your reply. You confirm that there is a problem with this type of mortgage.
    I met your last year in Portland. Then, I carried with me respirator for insurance. I had a heart condition, having refused an operation.

    I’m much better now, due to (1) doubling down on supplements; (s) an exercise machine called, “The Power Plate”; (3) Charles Atlas’s handbook on dynamic tension. I was a winner during the lockdown.
    Hope you benefited from my book.

    1. Not confirming. Just concerned there may be. I think it is important to align incentives with all transactions. You can to give people an incentive to help you succeed rather than profit from your accelerated demise.

  5. Catherine, Please have Rosa Koire On.

  6. Dear Catherine,

    I’m 81 and am interested in looking into purchasing a home somewhere with a reverse mortgage. What do you think of it? It seems to me that it would cut down on expenses.If the place was not ultra expensive, the lender might not find murder a useful alternative.

    1. Peter:

      I would be wary in this day and age of entering into a deal in which the other party can benefit from my earlier demise. That said, if it gets you into the kind of home you want, particularly if it gets you into a better jurisdiction, and that makes you happier and healthier, could be worse the risk. If it were me, I would be careful. Rather to a deal for shelter with people I know and trust.

      Catherine
