Horrible Airbnb experience - Part 2

In part 1, B. was introduced as a gentle soul which appeared in our life. We decided to leave him our home whilst we went away. This is what happened when we came back.

We had a fabulous trip.
We were refreshed and happy.
It was time to come back though and we were eager to come back to tell our family and friends how it all went.
We arrive at the house on a Sunday evening. No lights in the house. We thought it was empty.
As we entered in, a swamped smell entered our nostrils. It was stinking beer being washed up all over our walls and carpets. They are bags of waste covering the floor in the kitchen, bottles of alcohols, dirty plates with eaten chicken wings.
We entered the living room, the same mess in front of our eyes.
The curtained are closed. It is dark.

On my beautiful cream white sofa, a man with a hoody on.

M: ''B. Are you Ok, mate?''
B.: ''Oh I am sorry, man... I'll get it sorted.''

B. is drunk. He is unrecognisable. We are shocked and tired. We cannot argue.

M: ''B. We are going to go. Can you sort the house, please? We will come back later.''
B.: ''Thank you M., I am Sorry. I will''

We spend the evening with our family and hush the experience.

We come to the house, everything has been put in the bin.
He is in the bedroom probably sleeping ashamed by the situation.

As we walk around the house, we realise that the TV is broken, the sofa is stained, the carpet has been washed up with beers. It does not only smell beer in this house but also dead birds and bones.

We take a shower and go to sleep.

Tomorrow will be another day.

Keynes vs Minsky

I am a beginner in economics but reading Positive Money book 'Modernising Money' by Ben Dyson and Andrew Jackson. My interest grew in the work of Minsky and encouraged me to read more about Keynes. Keynes economics promote the view that in the long run economics system converge into an equilibrium with the support of the government. Nevertheless you cannot help the role of banks in the system and wonder after reading the following quote: “But this long run is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run we are all dead. Economists set themselves too easy, too useless a task if in tempestuous seasons they can only tell us that when the storm is long past the ocean is flat again.”   (Keynes, 1923) This imply that economists did not comprehend why we had a financial crisis and collapse.  Minsky with  his model 'Financial Instability Hypothesis' strive to answer this question.  The idea in Minsky's work in a 'simplistic summary is that in very

Leicester Stories: What conversations and discussions did you have with people living and working in Leicester?

Dr Rob Watson interviewed me as part of Leicester Stories series #BuildBackBetter in July 2021.  Prior to the interview, he sent me few questions for me to prepare the interview and start thinking about what it means to Build Back Better post-pandemic. In the following post, I answer one of the questions augmented after reflecting upon the interview R: I’d like to know what conversations and discussions people living and working in Leicester had during the lockdown, especially when these conversations started to focus on the idea of Building Back Better? Through the lockdown, my discussion were upon the tools available to people to support their mental health and connections with others. In a trauma-informed programme, the first steps are stabilisation and regulation. In other words, if someone is in a state of shock, the first step is to ground them and help them manage their emotions. In our community, we experienced first hand what it is to be in a state of shock during the pandemic
