I’m looking forward to the day when we can go back to talking about more entrepreneurial aspects of economics rather than large changes that are going to effect large amounts of people. One day we will get back there, but today is not that day.

On the whole, throughout history, more often than not, a great many of the larger wars — especially WWI and WWII, began because of widespread economic detriment. *I’ve been planning on writing this article for about two weeks now, however life took over. I’ve been pouring a lot on energy into a novel that I am halfway through writing… things happen.

Now, as I currently put the finishing touches on this article— Israel seems to be under attack now from the South, North and the East. It could be some opportunists, or it could be the opening salvo of a wider campaign. I mentioned in February in one of my articles that Israel was on my 2023 conflict list, you can read more about it here:
