Notes from the Caribbean
The Caribbean is a lovely place, but I probably won’t rush back.

Friday Fodder (28/24)
The Olympics are here, but are they worth it; it’s time to stop flogging the greedflation horse; why real wages haven’t risen; the future of AI; nuclear is back everywhere except Australia; and an accidental experiment in geoengineering.
