Those who read a lot can teach a lot. Those who have done a lot can teach even more. That’s why I’ve always tried to surround myself with people with stripes. With scars. With little hair left. With dark circles under their eyes from fighting too many battles. And they also had to meet one more requirement… They...
Yesterday a few of you came with a question… If we prefer a good narrative to the truth, does it apply to PPPs? Absolutely. PPP includes the words Private and Public. This is meat for bored politicians and newspapers. You have conflicting words… Add Partnership and journalists queue to hit you in the face. No matter what statistics say.
