There is this meeting, that I am invited to concerning the EU.
I really want to come, but I have to work to put a roof over my head. So I am sorry, I can’t come.
I really appreciate being invited to all these events and networking arrangements. They are a prerequisite for the work I do. But I mean they are expensive, and since you do not seem to want to invest in the process anyway. It does not make much sense to invite me.
So, if you want me to attend, you need to give me the resources to do it.
G- d bless the will to make a better world, may we develop.
