Kyiv.
Slowly, without any rush, I’m coming back to life.
Still cold, still with rationed electricity at home, but the heating is better
(more than a thousand high-rise buildings can’t say the same).
Today, I had a warcoffee at a bookstore and bought two books.
Maybe I’ll start reading again.

I mostly am interested in how governments add administrative burdens on citizens. This is a case where the government allows private actors to add burdens. It comes from a sensible idea: "experience ratings." But an incentive to discourage layoffs has become an incentive to contest payments.

I guess it's a little reassuring to know that there are at least some people in the business/finance world who still think it's important to understand the economy as it actually exists
The Wall Street Journal just illustrated the core argument of my book: a system rigged to reward capital over labor is one in which even full-time work no longer secures the most basic material needs.
This is the economic order that produces the "working homeless."
