My WTF. Edition Two. (Aug 5, 2024 - Aug 9, 2024)

My Weekly Timeline Feed (My WTF), where I dive into the stories and events that grabbed my attention. Think of it like a quirky twist on "you are what you eat" – but instead, it's "you are what you read," and those juicy tidbits of the present shape our future.

In each edition, I'll focus on how the future is unfolding and what today’s events mean for tomorrow. Sure, my day job is all about allocating resources to seize opportunities, but my true passion lies in deciphering current events to find solutions for future challenges. So buckle up and join me on this journey – who knows what WTF moments we’ll uncover together!
