Hi all - here again. Hanging out on hold with my cable company so thought I would write a post. I am doing ok. I have a lecture this week - on slavery and the modern economy with Kevin Bales from University of Nottingham. Should be really impactful. It is depressing to me that slavery is a thing in the modern world. People are enslaved to get the materials for our electric car batteries and cell phone batteries. So think about that. Slave labor on the supply chains for those. Makes me feel bad about that. I think there are very few clean supply chains when you think about it. I am glad we are doing this talk.

Things going on in the banking thing here. Two banks just failed here in the USA. Silicon Valley one and Silvergate. That is not good. I hope things stabilize. I have been meaning to move my banking to a better bank so I just did that. I was banking with Wells Fargo and really hate them - for what they did to customers so I moved to Bank of the West - a smaller bank. Very glad I did.

Anyways. Chugging along here and getting things done. Hoping you are doing well.
