Whenever someone from a think tank talks about “the economy”, mentally insert the words “rich people’s yacht money” into the sentence.
We can’t provide free healthcare, because it might harm rich people’s yacht money.
Nurses are going to have to feed themselves from food banks in order to protect rich people’s yacht money.
We’ve decided to let kids work in slaughter houses to help boost rich people’s yacht money.
It works every time. Give it a try.

Not a very dry environment, don't think I’ll be hooking it up to #HomeAssistant. ‘;^)
A tree fell on one of our favourite paths. This means there is no car traffic that would partially curb the growth of nettles. We'll have to buy a machete. Or a chainsaw.
Relaxing on a Sunday morning. They're saving energy for the coming week.
Banks: We want all employees back in the office. Face-to-face interaction is the best way to develop a meaningful and collaborative culture.
Also banks: We're closing our physical branches. Customers can bank with us using the Internet, or phone us and sit on hold for 3 hours. Face-to-face interaction isn't needed anymore.
