In an increasingly interconnected world, this wisdom takes on new layers of meaning when applied to the complex and often unpredictable process of globalization. It challenges us to reconsider whether the immediate, known benefits of local and national economies are being sacrificed for the speculative, often distant, promises of a fully globalized one. 🔹 Key Insight: The fundamental question is no longer "to globalize or not to globalize," but rather "how to globalize with prudence, preserving what is essential to our local stability while engaging with the wider world." Globalization, in this context, can be seen as the "two in the bush"-a vast, alluring, and somewhat undefined promise of interconnected mark...

Maybe that's why they're getting rid of cents in the U.S. The cent is "getting away" or becoming less relevant in the United States. Here's how: The U.S. penny will be phased out, with the Treasury Department halting production in early 2026 due to high costs and low usage. Each penny costs 3.7 cents to produce, causing annual losses over $56 million for the U.S. Mint.

Cash transactions will round to the nearest five cents, while electronic payments remain precise. This aligns the U.S. with Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, which discontinued low-value coins. Major banks, including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo, are developing...

However, for very young children, his metallic appearance and stiff movements might seem a little unsettling at first, especially in older film adaptations. But overall, he's more of a lovable character than a frightening one. The Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz had an accident while chopping down a tree. He was originally a human woodcutter, but after a series of unfortunate events involving a wicked witch, he was cursed to become a tin man. His accident occurred when his axe got stuck in a tree, and as he tried to free it, he accidentally chopped off his own leg. Over time, he replaced his body parts with tin, but eventually, his entire body became fully mechanical. This accident led to him losing his heart, which is a central part of his quest in the story.
