Choose Joy

the world is small

I love my business. 

Today I got to attend a class and because I’m a fired USAID person I got to attend this $950 class for $1. Now, some of that is, I’m sure, to help build up excitement, but oh my goodness. When I joined the class I found out ….. I hired the business owner and instructor for her very first job, decades ago. Wow.

I don’t remember her, but her name is familiar.

I had another meeting, this one with someone from the National Renewable Energy Lab, the international part. He did not lose his job, only the folks who had contracts with USAID lost them. It must have felt like a tornado, hitting one house and sparing the one right next to it. Some are still there because there projects are funded by philanthropies, although that funding is down, and some were funded by Europe, but Europe doesn’t want to hire a US national lab now. Maybe, just maybe, a massive grant will come through to them next month. It would cover many regions, including USAID, and they would really need people in Africa to help them, and we look perfect. 

Just hearing about my business cheered him up, it was the best thing he’s heard in weeks. 

DOD alcohol abusing Hegseth stopped weapons transfers to Ukraine. Trump has changed his mind and weapon transfers will resume. 

Did Zelensky wear a suit to the NATO summit? It was black. Some say yes, it is technically a suit. Apparently a whole bunch of people bet millions of dollars on whether he would or not.
