A quiet Sunday. Continued the study closet, this time trying to be ruthless in getting rid of things. Still have to go through the two big boxes full of documents--some should be in the safe deposit box, some tossed.
Went to Santori's for feta, lettuce, squash, and other goodies, but skipped anyplace else.
Talked to Ellen on the old-fashioned instrument called "phone," as her computer is acting up. Otherwise, nothing going on, which is okay once in a while.
Wider: From "A Tiny Revolution," a blog I read daily, this eye-popping info:
1.Of the 100 largest economies in the world, 51 are now global corporations; only 49 are countries.
2.The combined sales of the world's Top 200 corporations are far greater than a quarter of the world's economic activity.
3.The Top 200 corporations' combined sales are bigger than the combined economies of all countries minus the biggest 9; that is they surpass the combined economies of 182 countries.
4.The Top 200 have almost twice the economic clout of the poorest four-fifths of humanity.
In light of the recent Supreme Thwart (thanks, Jonathan S.!) decision, this should land on the psyche like a ton of bricks. However, because of the insanity of designating corporations as "human beings" and citing "free speech," I guess that doesn't matter--we're screwed.
Again.
