Lo que no sabíamos antes
Abril 2020, español
En mi mensaje de octubre, reflexioné sobre la clásica canción de Bob Seger: “Ojalá no supiera ahora lo que no sabía antes”. La letra invita a reflexionar acerca de la inocencia perdida.

By Liz Farmer
Abril 2020, inglés
Like many U.S. cities, Detroit suffered a housing collapse during the Great Recession. The crisis delivered a serious blow to the city’s already struggling revenue stream.
