Nicole Ferraro Great analysis of what is working and what isn't when it comes to the far-too-frequent disasters hitting our cities. This latest is absolutely devastating. How unsurprising that FEMA falls into...
Lesthertod An interesting analogy Sebastian, and as you point out seems that the "team" is forgetting who their partners are. Such a shame that the Central European Bank's measures doesn't apply to everyone...
