And really have the business got to do all of the country sluggish when youre building said infrastructure but infrastructure also means that dance man groups its going water and stuff is what is just comfy under distress right now is it the case is that in the pursuit of modernization in the pursuit of progress involvement is the cause them to absolutely and by going to the last the order to get the government theres a lot of lot of all sitting around one mission and the other mission but if youre after you know youve actually seen that one dream fall that you get and also by that if youre living in a in a Climate Crisis you know theres no way that.

But i think its a call and we are kidding ourselves by using. I think we to get a breeze and they try to our country.

From trucks mountains to mountains of problems if used thats what us elaborative keep got breast could be facing over how plans to launch a new underwear line called keyboard will now ordinarily thats the name of the traditional japanese garment but the idea that it could be used in line at the japanese government sit up and take notice has japans industry minister on a key moment to notice and the komodo is regarded as around the world as a distinct part of our culture even in america the word to my nose recognize annoying to be japanese. So i hope the us will understand the purpose of trademarking it and give it the proper evaluations its.
