War does not solve problems; on the contrary, it amplifies them and inflicts deep wounds on the history of peoples, which take generations to heal.

first legit work rant of the year: legal is a support function not a BD function. if you want us to commit closure of projects, donโt ask us to review from a legal standpoint bec thatโs a clear case of conflict of interest. In short, not our fault if we have no viable projects!
