Awful. Domestic violence, alcoholism and mental health issues all being exacerbated by this lockdown. There will be a lot of healing to do once it’s over
To think she is suffering from a neurological disorder and was still capable of delivering this showstopper

Introducing our daughter Penelope Maria : born a few days ago and stolen our hearts ❤️❤️. We are over the moon (and a little tired). This is the photo I took vs the one my husband took ...😂
Tear gas , rubber bullets... unfathomable that this is happening in the US,the land of the free and the ostensible bulwark of democracy. If you can’t sort out the root cause no amount of papering over the cracks will resolve injustice in a flawed system & silence aggrieved voices
Taking a step back: it is pretty astonishing that today, with all the regulatory oversight, banks still manage to lose up to $6bn from exposure to ONE family office
We are not even in a bear market yet. What happens when a bunch of overextended/levered funds go under?

has a scalability issue that will limit it from becoming a widespread medium of exchange (am talking medium of exchange here)
I cannot overemphasize how significant Draghi’s resignation is for Italy & Europe. Comes at a time where:
-Italy are in midst of economic downturn & gas crunch
- largest recipient of EU recovery fund
-ECB are putting together anti fragmentation tool for “unwarranted” tightening

Simple reason why everyone should care about European Banking system:
- 75% of companies & 90% households get their funding from banks
(In the US this number is 1/3)
=> the linkages to the economy are very strong still

On the day liberal-neocon imperialism was defeated once and for all, DiEM25's thoughts are with the women of Afghanistan. Our solidarity probably means little to them but it is what we can offer - for the time being. Hang in there sisters!
BREAKING: UK CPI has topped double digits , headline came in at 10.1%.
Even core CPI (ex energy, food, alcohol and tobacco) came in at +6.2% vs 5.9% exp
These numbers are staggeringly high. Over to you BOE!
Serious question: are we getting to the point where trading in financial markets should just be halted for two weeks? An extended bank holiday while we deal with the medical crisis
When ppl say they want to be short $USD... against what?
- EUR? with mounting Italian risks & dovish cb
- GBP? Don’t even need to explain
- Asian FX? With the Yuan depreciating?
- Latam? ..with Argentina now some contagion effect
- $TRY : close your eyes?
What do you buy?

Mark Drakeford tells me the UK government have not lived up to their post-Brexit promise of funds & that 'difficult days' could be coming for Wales
The debate about whether to "lockdown" or "protect the economy" is about to settled by Sweden - PM now talks about "1000s of dead" (pandemic mortality roughly as Italy per capita) - most of which should have been entirely preventable with right measures
How does LinkedIn actually work? Do you accept everyone who requests to connect? Can people just follow without a formal request? Those who use it, do you like it? Isn’t half of it people saying “am humbled to announce I got promoted..”
So many questions
The cost of shipping freight from China to Europe has *astronomically* risen during this pandemic. If it stays here will we invariably see cost push inflation getting passed on to consumers

We have agreed to a very large Phase One Deal with China. They have agreed to many structural changes and massive purchases of Agricultural Product, Energy, and Manufactured Goods, plus much more. The 25% Tariffs will remain as is, with 7 1/2% put on much of the remainder....
Really makes no sense for the UK gov to be hurtling towards a full re-opening as cases continue to climb
Better to drive at a steady 40mph than accelerate to 100mph and emergency stop later 🛑
