In peaceful times, people cling to broken systems simply because “that’s how it’s always been done”. Comfort is a prison.

This crisis is a great opportunity to screw Microsoft.

Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder.

      It was pretty clear to me that Trump would likely become president, and there’s very little to be surprised about the US retrenching and trying to secure resources right now. Seems to me that you just haven’t been paying attention to what’s actually going on in the world.
