What could go wrong?

I recently shared pictures of the Gather 🍇 virtual office we at @GTP_Trade use to keep that in-office spontaneity while letting staff work from home. People seemed curious, so I'll be doing a walkthrough on Twitch (then Youtube) in a few minutes. twitch.tv/DmitryOpines

Read all the garment-rending headlines about COP26 and got depressed? Here's a little bit of perspective. volts.wtf/p/dont-get-too…
