BWorld 492, Ten indicators of blackout economics
* My article in BusinessWorld, June 15, 2021. Blackout economics is not a mainstream concept and so I created my own definition and indicators. Blackout economics is simply the improper allocation of limited resources that will lead to blackouts and power outages. Metro Manila and surrounding provinces experienced rotating blackouts of one to two hours per area on June 1. It was bad to go back to candles, no aircon or electric fans on a hot afternoon, and it reminded people of the daily blackouts in the whole country in 1990-1991.

Iubirea este o emoție care se unește cu forțele universului pentru a aduce ordine și un motiv pentru a trăi. Pentru că fără iubire viața ar fi într-adevăr un iad viu în regatul vostru. Mult prea mulți sunt conduși de frică și de emoții frământătoare și puțini sunt cei care pot vedea bucuria care se află în toate lucrurile.
