Wednesday

but it is bewildering because so many names and points of contact. a bit of a slog, but enlightening for sure.

it's all so much more corrupt than I actually realized, I have to say. The criminality runs the gamut from simple fraud to murder, drug and human trafficking, etc.

still working my way through the appendices. Next on deck: Autocracy Inc by Anne Applebaum. I recently watched a lecture by her and had to get this book. never read anything by her before except perhaps articles here and there.
