På tide med en ny innsjekk her, nå som de fleste seriene nærmer seg slutten. Blir Viking seedet i Conference League? Det korte svaret er at det meste tyder på det. Totalt er det 44 klubber som seedes og 44 som er useedet. Det er allerede er klart at 43 klubber vil ha lavere seedingspoeng enn Viking:

As someone trained as a trade economist, it is my duty to share the 1929-1933 Kindleberger Spiral, showing the month-month decline in global trade due to the combined factors of the (global) Great Depression and retaliatory tariffs. Smooth Hawley is implemented mid-June 1930.

Innovation is worshipped as progress, but its rewards are seldom shared equally.
High-tech #clusters thrive while others wither; green tech demands raw materials extracted at human cost.
