Amsterdam, like Venice, is a good place to contemplate the ghosts of bankers and slavers of centuries past. But at least they, unlike today’s slavers, had a fine sense of art and architecture!
The exhibit at the Fries Museum on Rembrandt’s wife Saskia gave a lot of the statistics of what life was like in the Dutch Golden Age in terms of life expectancy. 1 in 4 children did not make it past the age of 5. People often remarried as spouses died, many in childbirth. It was a very hard life – a reminder of the many blessings that technology has brought.
If I am hearing right, there’s a Tina Turner reference creeping in lately when you say ‘nice, and rough.’ But the thing is: The Deep State ‘neva, eva, eva does nothin nice and easy.’ They always do it nasty. And rough. Like how they did Mary Pinchot Meyer.
