Golden visa 🏅 — Portugal gets rid of their golden visa program. Chinese interference in our election. And big red boots are the new fashion trend.

Portugal will stop offering so-called golden visas—which grant non-EU nationals residency permits in exchange for investments into the country starting at ~$500,000—in an attempt to tackle a lack of affordable housing.

You can now add electoral influence to your list of “things the West and China are fighting about” along with spy balloons, research funding, and real estate investing.

If you’ve been on social media, you’ve probably come across a pair of red boots that look stolen off the feet of a claymation clown and wondered to yourself: “What are these things?”
