DING-A-LING BANG! Here we go again (sigh).

Time to suspend it all? Don't count on it! Presidents, prime ministers and bankers were all around the table (and when I say 'all' I really mean ALL of them!), dealing, arguing, even joking (aargh!) about the revolution coming. Will it affect us all? You bet it will! Well, maybe not. You see, it didn't happen in '22, neither in '58, and nobody complained. Go figure! Why should it be different this time? First of all, the stakes were not the same as the world state of affairs was in a dreaded 'loop', the kind of loop that plunged the deciders into a mix of over-excitement and under-anxiety mood which was enough to make all the difference. Secondly, the actors were not the same. Obviously we cannot compare a Stecher to a Braun, a Jameson to a Carlotti, etc.

So for the desperate (?!!) souls out there waiting for the results of the talks, all is not lost. In fact it can change for the worst for some and for the better for others, depending on whether you're a 'runner' or a 'jumper'. And finally, maybe a new element in the equation could suddenly appear in the form of an ondulating and beautiful 'loop', the kind of loop that.... Well, we can all hope for a miracle, isn't it?
