this morning as early as possible .. about 830 we left the house for a nice shopping centre her lausanne. Gemma needed clothes for her orchestra concert.. black trousers which for some reason needed back pockets..
We picked up a friend of hers who has recently bought a samoyed puppy from Finland.. she is adorable.
While in the centre we met up with a Canadian friend , a former futures trader but long retired. She is now taking a masters in business.. where the emphasis is on the bleak future of the world and how we are not facing it… her professor is trying to get the courses offered by various institutions who offer masters in business, to change their emphasis. Essentially business is all about the profit margin.. making people buy more.. etc. whereas this course is examining the results of the profit motive.
ie. you may have a company who itself is environmentally "clean" but what about their suppliers and their waste management suppliers etc. There is in the world a slow revolution happening amongst the people a backlash to the profit driven company. an example apparently is Romania where a canadian gold company is opening a huge open pit mine.. the people of Romannia are calling it the
autumn of romania…the end of their country..
I guess this is why the green party has appeal, yes to progress but not at any price..
Personally I am lying with my op leg way up packed with ice, the leg has suddenly swollen, not sure why but hopefully this will help the situation. It does not hurt.
