The Clifton Bridge is not the only suspension in our lives these days. At the start of another week I found the extract below plagiarised/ stolen/ flattery to its author sums it up.
The US Stock Market hit a record high on Friday. Yet around the globe the disconnect between euphoric markets and unhappy voters has never been so wide. Markets are still distorted on low-rate expectations, while populism and inequality are rising.
Isambard Brunel engineered the bridge but never lived to see it completed. Many of the septuagenarian and octogenarian leaders engineering today’s events won’t live to see the impact of their designs. Today the Clifton Suspension bridge carries 4 million vehicles per annum and links Avon with Somerset.
Brunel died aged 53 and at 5 feet tall he designed railways, ships, sewers and hospitals in the Crimean War. His middle name was kingdom and he was born In Hampshire England in 1806. Tomorrow in New Hampshire USA the fate of the American Election will be decided and the return of President Trump will be a staggering event. Brunel had wanted to take his Great Western Railway from Britain via Steam powered ships further westward to North America and had he lived longer well he might.
As for the markets yes they rise to their highest amidst all counter rationale and defy us all. It’s another week and who knows what will happen. Keep going , pursue knowing and growing the best is yet to come.
