So while America was forced into a high percentage of unemployment, billionaires in America made 406 billion from their “essential” businesses.

I wonder how much came from the

Funny, this transfer of wealth from the poor citizens to the rich billionaires aided by lockdowns and tyrannical governors wasnt just isolated to America. Australia billionaires seemed to amass much wealth during a time record number of businesses

AUSTRALIA: Country's billionaires are over 50% richer than they were this time last year, according to data from Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

.@JoeBiden’s ‘Dark Winter’ Is A Warning About His Economy, Not The China Virus

Should President Trump’s election challenges fail, it’s a certainty that bleak days are ahead. We’re staring into the barrel of 4 years of sclerotic economic

Six days after the election, Biden, employing the Democratic Party strategy of sowing fear whenever possible, warned that the country is facing a long night.

CNBC:

“‘We remain in the midst of one of the worst economic and job crises in modern history,” said the man who as vice president oversaw one of the weakest economic recoveries in U.S. history.

Apparently it never occurred to Biden and his handlers that government intervention, not the virus, caused 2020’s downturn.

Nor have they even begun to understand that Democrats’ economic policies, filled with steep, punitive taxes, and impossible-to-jump regulatory hurdles, are a slow-motion march of the economic lockdowns that almost instantly paralyzed the economy this year.

With all our go-to pizza joints closed, homemade pizza was the only solution to our cravings.

Another street food that most of us missed was the crispy hot samosa. So, why not try them at home? Just prepare some potato stuffing, roll out the dough, fill the stuffing, give the shape of a samosa and fry.

The combo of Samosa and Jalebi makes the perfect pair. Hot and syrup loaded jalebis were another dish that most people tried at their homes

Court upholds conviction of Chinese businessman linked to Hunter Biden

A federal appeals court upheld the criminal convictions against Patrick Ho, a Chinese businessman and think tank leader linked to President-elect Joe Biden’s son, Hunter.

When Ho, one of Chinese energy tycoon Ye Jianming’s lieutenants, was charged by the Justice Department in 2017, the first call he reportedly made after his arrest was to Joe Biden’s brother, James, who has said he thought the call was meant for Hunter Biden.

Ho was indicted and convicted under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act for his role in a global money laundering and bribery scheme aimed at government officials in Africa.

The Justice Department also accused Ho of helping with Iranian sanctions evasion and working to use the Chinese company’s connections to sell weaponry to Chad, Libya, and Qatar. Ho was sentenced to three years in prison in March 2019 and was deported to Hong Kong in June.

1/ Hey Twitter, have you applied to 157 jobs this year and gotten a handful of interviews and still not a single offer?

[continue the thread]

2/ It’s been a rough year for many of us and being unemployed is a huge added stressor to that.

Here are a few of the main issues I’ve seen with students in my program.

3/ ISSUE #1

You’re limiting yourself to one single strategy - applying on job boards.

Job boards have a really low success rate. Unless your resume and skill set is really outstanding, you’re competing against HUNDREDS of other applicants and your chances are low.

4/ ISSUE #2

You’re not being intentional.

It may seem like the right approach to browse and apply for whatever kind of fits.

But you’re fitting a square peg in a round hole.

So the opposite. Sit down and design your next role. Wants, work, companies and deal breakers.

5/ ISSUE #3

You’re up in your own head.

You’ve written and rewritten your resume a hundred times. You FEEL EXHAUSTED and are using a lot of energy, but aren’t actually applying to very many jobs.

Focus on outreach and connections. Talk to everyone you know!

Who are “WHITE HATS?”

The “White Hats” is an allegorical reference to the “good guys” taken from American movie tradition, in which the good cowboys always wore white hats and the bad guys (bandits, rustlers, thugs) wore black hats.
Used to refer to the secret group;

THREAD on how the parties will vote on the EU-UK TCA today: Will they simply ‘go gentle into that good night’? Or will they instead ‘rage, rage against the dying of the light’? https://t.co/dDtxi57AyT 1/

For the vast majority of the @Conservatives MPs (most of whom, remember, have either always been or have become Brexiteers), sheer bloody relief, along with a natural inclination to toe the party line and support their leader, will prove a powerful painkiller. 2/

It will inure them to those parts of the deal that have involved more compromise than ideally they would have liked – so much so, perhaps, that they will deny, even to themselves, that any such compromises have even taken place at all. 3/

It’s also important to note that the party in the media – the collection of leader writers and the columnists who write for Tory-supporting newspapers – seems to have made up its mind that Johnson has pulled off a miracle. 4/

Moreover, @ConHome's snap survey suggests getting on for two-thirds of grassroots Tories approve – not to be sniffed at when fear of one’s constituency association has often decided which way Conservative MPs have jumped on the European issue. 5/

Excellent question!

"Risk/reward ratio" is a term used in investing, but it's rarely quantified like one would quantify a debt/assets ratio. Risk/reward ratio is usually used more intuitively.

@FrankPeelen I\u2019m curious what you think is a good risk/reward ratio and how do you generally calculate that to help inform your decision to buy options? Appreciate your insights!

Usually people will use all their knowledge to make guesstimates about an investment like:

- 20% chance to go bust
- 20% chance to break-even
- 40% chance to double
- 10% chance to 4x
- 10% chance to 10x

And then state "for me, this is good from a risk/reward standpoint".

3/14

That last statement will be different for each individual though. For some people the investment laid out above may be great from a risk/reward standpoint, because of the high expected ROI. For others, it may be terrible because of the 20% chance to go bust.

4/14

Investing is much more complex than just making money and maximizing returns, and investment strategies should differ from individual to individual. If this is news to you, I strongly suggest you read through the first section of this blog

5/14

The final section of the same blog post goes into depth on $TSLA call options, and how I go about evaluating them. There is even a subsection called "The Risk Reward of Call Options" that should answer a lot of your questions.

1/ Crypto’s biggest potential impact to society is in sustainably distributing wealth, capital & ownership to a larger % of the world.

This is also its biggest risk: crypto can exacerbate inequality if it is not made accessible to everyone—especially those who need it most.

2/ Inequality is growing to unsustainable levels comparable to that in the early 1900s prior to WWI & the 1700s prior to the French Revolution & sweeping changes throughout Europe.

The top 1% (~80M people) now owns the same amount of capital as the remaining 99% (~7.9B people).

3/ Historically, there are only two solutions to extreme levels of inequality:

1. Revolution: Violence or war that leads to wealth redistribution to those who fought & won

2. Intervention: Political change that raises taxes on the rich & increases benefits to the poor

4/ But is there another way? One that doesn’t require war or heavy government oversight?

Is another option even possible when the system, power, rules, governance, capital, tech, etc. are centralized among the 1%, as they have been for millennia?

Historically, the answer is no.

5/ Today’s society also faces something new that no other generation has: global technologies that have further centralized power and wealth, as well as automated work and reduced demand for labor, particularly among the middle class.

Tech is accelerating inequality.

📌 Informative Thread

⛔ The fate of corporate farming. (Claims v reality) ⛔

🔴 Claim 1 : This would lead to better prices to the farmers as well as to the consumers. Better farm to fork availability as well as better farm prices for the farmer.

⛔ Debunking the claim : So this article by P Sainath, brings to light what the reality is for the small farmer in USA]

https://t.co/qcZyfEQWUd…).

📌 From the article : “The size is set by the retail chain stores. They dictate almost everything.”

The Word “almost everything” includes prices. While the Walmarts, Shop Rites and other chain stores sell his kind of onions for $1.49 to $1.89 a pound, Pawelski himself gets no more than 17 cents. And that’s an improvement.

#FarmersProtest

Between 1983 and 2010, the average price he got stayed around 12 cents a pound ".

⚠️ So what we see, is that neither there has been significant penetration of price benefits to the farmer, nor has it improved the availability to the consumer.
