Elon Musk: “If we lose I’m f*cked… How long is my prison sentence gonna be? Will I ever see my children?”
First of all: YES YOU ARE.

What pictures looked like before you could share them. Vancouver 1973-1982. Is there a difference? I don’t know. I’m too close to these. And too many others.
1. Barbershop, 1975.
2. Pool hall, 1974.
3. House on Richards Street, 1973.
4. Photographer and sulphur piles. 1982.
From “Under Vancouver”.

Catalan artist Josep Franch-Clapers'
moving depiction of Republicans marched in French exile in 1939 escorted by Gendarme, the Tramontana wind blowing across the Roussillon, a terribly uncertain future ahead. He painted this in 1945.
I love digging through 20+ super pixelated images of the Mayflower when browsing hints on Ancestry. Very valuable images.

The War and Us, by Polish painter Edward Okuń (1917-23). National Museum in Warsaw.
1. Someone steals what's yours and comes up with what they think is a better option. Nevermind if you need some cash for meds or something.
2. You set a selling price that may not even recover the initial investment.
3. Present the arrangement as an act of economic empowerment.
