My Plan For This Nicaragua YouTube Channel

[@ScottAlanMillerVlog]

In business decision making, what you are talking about is the "cost of lost opportunity." Meaning... everything that you decide to do comes at the cost of what you didn't do instead. In your example, you are using time as the constraint, and time is always a constraint. Similarly, money can be a constraint. If you have $5 and want to buy food, you can choose pasta or a pizza. You can buy pasta and say "that was a good decision". And maybe it is. but you have to evaluate not only is $5 good for pasta, and no only is pasta good for you, but you have to evaluate is pasta better than pizza. Not being able to get teh pizza is the cost of getting the pasta.

Well said !

Thank you Jack I'm definitely one of those that want to go out there to grow my own food

Great video Jack. Permaculture is the way to go. Hope you get over that flu bug soon.

[@JackPitmanNica]

Hell yeah! I'm already feeling better

[@donaldball4064]

Thanks Jack. I don't watch all your videos but I'm glad I watched this one. Looking forward to the permaculture videos.

[@ritasjourney]

Great video Jack. Sorry I’m just seeing it now. I’m so glad I met you and took your advice to come visit Nicaragua. It’s a beautiful country with wonderful people. My favorite part was going to see the monuments in Managua. Nicas have a history they can be proud of.

[@JackPitmanNica]

Glad you enjoyed your time here Rita, it was great to see you in person finally. Im looking forward to our call tomorrow!

I know what you mean. I am Nicaraguan, but was raised in Los Angeles. I can see the prespective from an expat and a citizen of Nicaragua. When I first came back, I had to adjust. What helped me was that I spent 6 months in Mexico before coming back. And the last time I went back, I realized that it was best for me to just live here for various reasons, some of them you have mentioned. Once I was waiting for the Metro in Watts, and a black guy came up to me and asked me if I was nicaraguan. He noticed that I had an "I love Nicaragua" keychain. I said yes and he told me that he was hired by the CIA to gather information on the east coast of Nicaragua were the majority of the population are black nicaraguans. I told him I was the son of a national hero, and that kind of drove him away. True story.

[@JackPitmanNica]

I believe you.. I know the history of my country (The USA)... There are surely many people like the one you just mentioned... For me the worst part... is seeing what happens to young nicaraguans... how they idolize the USA... I see how the USA breaks up Nicaraguan families... the USA pits the children against their parents... It breaks my heart

[@allsmilz7234]

@@JackPitmanNica of course you know the reason young Nicaraguan's go to the USA is the financial gain opportunity. After a few years working they can return to acquire their own house paid for and vehicle. If having stayed at home seems as the opportunities just don't exist.

[@JackPitmanNica]

@@allsmilz7234 This is where I think I can help Nicaraguan people... because they can earn money more easily online... the pay is much better than going all the way to the united states and paying the costs to live there... also when a Nicaraguan works online... they do not need to separate from their family... I think there can be a big future in Nicaragua for this... but the Nicaraguan people need access to the information... they need training... this is the part I think I can provide

[@dovygoodguy1296]

I think you could talk about the lives and stories of retired expats over 60 in Nicaragua.

[@JackPitmanNica]

Thats a good idea. Itd probably work well to interview a few people, I think that would be better than me talking about them

[@BillBlyleven]

I understand your POV Jack - But I have two Brother in Laws who were conscripted in the Sandinista Army. They were also directed to shoot up Miskito villages - No one at that time were angels.

[@JackPitmanNica]

I understand that the Sandonistas have corruption. However; I sense it is pointless to blame them. We must blame the source of that corruption... the USA. I do not think of the Sandonistas as angels. But; let's take a bit of US history for comparison. What you have described, shooting up innocent villages; this is something that the USA has done on a scale greater than the Sandonistas. For every 1 person the Sandonistas have killed, the USA has killed tens of thousands of people across the world. In Korea alone, only one of the hundreds of countries effected by the USA, The USA committed a genocide against innocent villages associated with communism. In fact we bombed so many villages in North and South Korea that we literally ran out of villages to bomb. We know that this genocide happened because South Korea dug up the remains of hundreds of mass-graves that were the result of US-led bombing campaigns. If you said a village had communist sympathizers, that village was destroyed. No questions asked. Every single women, man, and child in the village was bombed to death. We killed millions of people this way. Innocent people. You talk about the sandonistas shooting villages - something horrible. But now, imagine thousands of villages being destroyed; and instead of assault rifles; they were destroyed with bombs dropped from the sky. The terror my country, the USA, released on the world; was absolutely indescribable... it makes what the sandonistas have done look like nothing.

[@NicaraguaHD]

Jack - I believe the early Sandinistas fought for freeing Nicaragua from the Somoza regime back in 1979 when the revolution happened and they fought for freedom, props to them. But have you seen what are the Sandinistas are doing now? They’ve deviated so far from what they started back in 1979. As of today, there is no “Periódico” in Nicaragua meaning that there is no freedom of the press. They own all the news outlets and local TV channels. They have closed private universities, UCA and INCAE being the most recent ones. They’ve arrested catholic priests. Just recently arrested 18 priests from December 24th to January 1st. The bishop of Matagalpa has been in prison for over 500 days. Out of curiosity, do you support the current actions of the Sandinista government?

[@solojourneyer]

Jack, before you go on hiatus, can you recommend a good vlogger in Nicaragua?

[@JackPitmanNica]

Sure! Here are two people I respect.. Scott Alen Miller www.youtube.com/@ScottAlanMillerVlog Emense Coffee www.youtube.com/@EmenseCoffee If you want to find more, search "Nicaragua" on youtube but filter it by most recently uploaded. This will give you a selection of channels who are active about the country

[@solojourneyer]

@@JackPitmanNica There are too few good vloggers in Nicaragua now.

[@JackPitmanNica]

@@solojourneyer Agreed ! Most content is either anti-government stuff or its a tourist going to Nicaragua for like a week or two.

[@kevintewey1157]

Interesting you called the US your country if I understood correctly

[@JackPitmanNica]

Yes, I am an American. I lived in the USA from the age of 10-25, most of my life. I also pay income tax to the US government, roughly 1/4 of my income. Until I create a foreign company and hire myself; I'm basically stuck paying the war machine.

[@raycatlin3554]

@@JackPitmanNica The country IS this way Due to the Citizens that Refuse to Step up For this Nation ! United We Stand , Divide WE FALL ! ! ! It's Way Past Time to Wake - Up ! !

[@JackPitmanNica]

@@raycatlin3554 Personally I gave up on the American Dream long ago and I do not view the USA as a good place to raise a family. The USA has made to many enemies and the quality of life for too many citizens is too low. Im not sure the citizens standing up will do anything because citizens need to stop buying most products from companies and people probably won't do that
