“A lot of smart people think they’re way smarter than they are, and therefore they do worse than dumb people. And it’s very common to be utterly brilliant and think you’re way the hell smarter than you are.” C Munger [yes it’s a repeat but worth repeating!]

Thing is you can’t crash the economy to the tune of £62 million million and remain in your job. Truss next? A general election looming? These are crazy times. Met someone last week who worked in policy for government – putting policies into action. She said nothing had happened this last four years because of too much change. ‘We need a consistent government in power for a few years with no changes or the country is going to collapse.’ Might be a bit over the top but interesting to hear from the coal face.
