@jason_corcoran After already spending 2-4 weeks in Russia blowing cash on tickets, hotels, travel, etc during the long summer days, how many World Cup fans will return for additional sightseeing in October/November? Pretty empty gesture.
@neilhimself Mine usually autocorrects "speak" to "soak".
"Let's soak tomorrow"
"I'll soak with you later"
I do enjoy a good Russian banya, so maybe the algorithm knows me better than I do. @harari_yuval
@Rudnit@INechepurenko A had a friend at Cushman & Wakefield in Moscow. He said every report recommended more metallic glass, because that's what all the clients wanted to hear.
@Rudnit@ksengal@hugodmiller I met with some of the top managers of Ankor Invest in 2014 to discuss working together. They were initially very interested, but then disappeared. It was strange for me, but seemed normal for Russia
@bneeditor@jason_corcoran I already had an existential problem with staying busy. I struggle with "being", I need to be "doing" to be content. Their retirement experiences terrify me.
@bneeditor@jason_corcoran Some people plan financially for retirement, almost no one plans what to do for 16 hours everyday awake. Work gives identity, purpose, and structure. My father and father-in-law both struggle with this. Both seriously recommend to never stop working.
