It’s been an excellent holiday so far.

I read Giono’s Hill in a day. What a read. Added it to my list of Books Everyone Should Read, along with every other book I’ve read this holiday. A six book streak of brilliant reads.

I hope we all understand why globalization exists. It’s because the rich wanted to exploit natural resources, cheaper labor, and consumers.
