Data from the US Federal Reserve shows the same tell-tale pattern we have grown used to with crime: people assess their own financial situation to be relatively healthy, and this changes very little from year to year, but their assessment of the national economy has cratered, opening up a huge gulf. It seems increasingly likely news coverage shoulders part of the blame. (subscription) https://www.ft.com/content/8cd76cde-7694-4674-99a7-188c18257530 #news

People of Hamburg!
I shall be visiting Hamburg this weekend.
Ostensibly, this is for work (Friday) but I may have accidentally tacked on a couple of days extra to explore the city.
I now realise this is the weekend of the Harbour festival, so this is either a very good or a very bad weekend to visit (ymmv).
Suggestions for eateries (plant based) and other fun things to do gratefully accepted.
