We've had some fun in the Czech sun over the weekend! We
started our site visits on Monday and I found Roman Joch's talk very
interesting, despite the incredible heat! It appears that the US and Czech have
similar issues. The Czech government provides an unfunded pension
similar to U.S.’s Social Security System. Like the U.S. the Czech population is declining and the
funding for the program may cease. Mr. Joch noted he does not expect to receive
a single CZK! In addition the Czech Republic is dependent on foreign recourses,
just like the US, including gas from Russia and Oil from the Middle East. The
Czechs are facing a similar energy issue and are exploring alternative energy sources.
It’s been very interesting thus far, can’t wait for the next visit.
