Day 688

A couple of weeks ago, I happened upon something, which gave me pause:
What is moving is the [Ukraine’s] economy1. Companies2 have pivoted to new markets3 and products4 — many in the defense industry5 — and consumers6 are spending money7 (while they have it). — (Bloomberg)8
It’s large, this word: it holds much; it is flexible. Cash outside banks – held in crypto, glass jars in root cellars or under mattresses – means … more drones. Looking on the positive side, National Bank reserves are solid.
I see this guy named Company in the shower one morning, the lightning bolt of epiphany striking as he rubs the suds from his eyes, That’s It! I’ll redefine myself – they’ll have to notice me!
The question of what is useful never quite goes away.
A cart filled with at least one of every single item in the cat food aisle: tinned, bagged, blister-packed, things for kittens, things for old cats; a mountain of the stuff, and nothing else.
A great deal of imager…
