Hello Steemit friends, I've been busy and still am. I know i don't have many followers, but i just want to let them know, that i still intend to write on Steemit. So, i decided to repost this NY Times article i find interesting. I still encourage you to upvote, but, don't worry, i don't take no payout because it isn't mine.
For the next couple days, the date or the length of time still unknown, i'll just post some article from around the world until i have the time to write my own piece.
thank you.
