Changing of the seasons đ„ș
I think about climate change all the time. I didnât need Greta to help me with that, but I applaud her for helping those that do. The more I see, the more I canât help thinking that itâs funny to think that the collective of the middle and lower classes bought into the idea that…
Better a string of letters? đ„ș
There is no mystery to me why âthe Westâ is losing its competitive edge. Between universities that see students as asses in seats with a pay checks for faces and HR departments that never see the human in the resource, how could we not. One day someone will have to explain to me why it…
A little bit privileged đ„ș

Thoughts on a photograph
These last few months have brought up some very dark perspectives for the future for me. Even if you havenât really being paying attention it is easy to understand why. What is not easy to understand is from where all the hate is coming. When I stumble upon photographs like this one, I remember the…
Not your grandmotherâs economy class
There are several very striking differences in these photographs. In the 1960âs, people dressed for air travel. This shows, at least in apparence, that people who travelled by plane saw it as something deserving their âbestâ face. One can infer that this also means that these travellers would not accept to travel below a certain…
