Elegiac, dramaturgical, the effects of hollowing out of a teal-and-white venue for human relations via an outlet for supplying domestic household needs, all undone by macro-level stupidity . . . $11.8 billion in stock buybacks by so-called finance wizards further tears at a fragile social fabric.

True & the piece doesn't even factor in the low pay & status of adjuncts in the educational bureaucracies. Add to that variable cultural norms among 1st generation students and that many are in-between cultural norms, it's a tough job to navigate, along with the course loads. AI, a new variable.

Congratulations on the publication. Good work involves risk, hence these dual emotions. I do have a question for you. In any of the correspondence or in a signed contract, were the terms of an author's rights delineated? I couldn't find any mention of this on any of the OBR pages? Thanks.
