Summary
Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in Paris on Sunday in protest over the rising cost of living, a shortage of key supplies, and fears that their circumstances will only get worse as winter looms just over the horizon. And Russia’s invasion of Ukraine—and the mounting costs of a European response—has China’s president Xi Jinping considering his country’s stance toward Taiwan. There’s a significant lesson here: our commitment is much more difficult when it begins to cost us more than we would prefer to pay.

| 1:06.5 | will only get worse as winter looms just over the horizon. Those who spent their weekend marching |
