More proof that the economy doesn't work for the working class

When I was growing up it was called moonlighting. It wasn't something to be proud of. It was something you did without telling anyone. When I was growing up, unregistered cabs were called "gypsy cabs". They weren't anything to be proud of either. Moonlighting got rebranded to "side hustle", so it sounds cool.

Well, I finally made it out to the farm a week ago today, 6 weeks after my knee surgery, to find a total disaster of a garden.

I had planted seeds for everything two days before surgery, hoping in my recovery time everything would germinate and begin growing.

Russia Defaulted on its Debt

for the first time in a hundred years. Russia claims to have tried but the US and England have tightened the embargo on finance.

Russia still has $600 billion in gold and foreign currency, half in Russia and half unavailable outside the country. I think the international community should use the $300 billion they have to work on rebuilding Ukraine.
