moreI am retired apart from managing family investments - mostly equities. I live near Zurich, Switzerland. I keep physically fit by walking and mentally fit with an art hobby and by writing on philosophy, economics and politics as related to cleaning up our polluted planet. My writings are published internationally.
As a retired businessman with a passion for drawing, who has lived on four continents, I long ago started to appreciate the natural beauty that surrounds us - the enormous variety of colours, flora, fauna and topography and the impact that has had on cultures and peoples. Most of us view that beauty without really seeing it and for thousands of years artists have tried to capture it and thus, teach us the art of seeing. My email address is jbhanshaw@gmail. com

Mixed Signals Suggest Both Boom And Bust
Thank you for reading and commenting. Hopefully none of those threats will come to pass. I think Covid will be suppressed this time round. Protests in Iran night oust its leaders. Russia has lost many of its young people because they don't want to go to war and the Chinese emperor does not want war with the west.
The US political scene is not healthy but the optimist in me thinks common sense normal people will prevail over the extremes. James
