Europeans live in a world where others increasingly call the shots. But shaping one’s own future—spending more on defence, producing more stuff, and so on—looks a lot like hard work https://t.co/WdyCsdArXO

@benmarrow @TheEconomist I wonder how sustainable it is to run a profit solely on the basis of your non-core business. Because then you are naturally going to start treating non-core business as core, and -most importantly- core (flying) as non core.

And that’s scary af.

@GreekAnalyst Historically, poor communities tended to use this model where the front side of the house was converted into some kind of shop or tavern, while the family squeezed into the less pleasing backside of the house for residence.
