Clever writing! Maybe the lesson is pay attention to the implication of our actions on others/environment!

Easier said than done, but very worth striving for.

I've just been made redundant (in NZ). One of the reasons (of many) that were cited, was the war in Ukraine (thanks Putin). We sell fertilizer (its a duopoly in NZ) and import phosphorous rock. The supply chain has been majorly affected. Container ships are hard to get hold off. Plus when the economy gets tough, fertiliser can wait a year which equates to less synthetic fert use on crops. Exports and imports down. A ton of other reasons why Ukraine is fucking everything up, but I'm not an economist who can explain that shit. All I knw, I've lost my job and the bigwigs tell me is partly due to fucking Putin.

On the job hunt now. Who knows where I'll end up, but the truth is, I've been bored and unchallenged for a while now so I see this as a positive.
