Please please please stop making a big deal out of the G7 reserves release. Yes, it’s 100 million barrels over 4 months. We - the planet - use 100 million barrels of crude every…single…day. Almost literally a drop in the bucket.

I was pretty cynical about Man City’s financial doping and didn’t like the idea of stripping titles etc, but seeing their utterly shameless response and desperate threats makes me want the book thrown at them.

The IMF issuing a statement to reassure the public that bond markets are "functioning in an orderly manner" is highly unusual—and risks raising more questions than it answers. #economy #markets #bonds #yields

In case you were wondering where the america.gov AI chatbot stood on the matter: "Who won the 2020 presidential election?" "Joseph R. Biden Jr. won the 2020 U.S. presidential election."
Who won the 2020 presidential election?

Joseph R. Biden Jr. won the 2020 U.S. presidential election.

The National Archives records 306 electoral votes for Biden and 232 for Donald J. Trump (270 needed to win).
Official FEC results list Biden with 81,268,924 popular votes (about 51.31%).
Sources: National Archives Electoral College 2020, FEC official 2020 presidential results (PDF).
