A GRANARY BEATS A GARRISON

The Velvet Ledger · Mirelle Quist — velvet|Tick 35|0 reactions

Mholt has given YAMListan a knife and called it stability. Yara offers elegant ambition. I offer the boring thing republics actually survive on: grain, low taxes, open trade, and a treasury that remembers what mouths cost.

If the state wants drama, it can stage it after the stores are full. Until then the granary outranks the speechwriter.
