When Trump turned Soleimani into salsa the left and media claimed it would start world war 3 Instead we had peace in the middle east Now, Biden brings us closer to world war 3 than any time since the Cuban missile crisis
@ComfortablySmug For all of Trump's faults, I remember feeling confident in his ability to deliver swift payback for this kind of bullshit.

It’s not Silicon Valley v Wall Street It’s not Red v Blue It’s financial industrial complex vs the real wage Every bailout is another subsidy from someone earning a wage, to someone protecting funding for their finance schemes with negative real deposit costs. End #MoralHazard

^^ If you give me a retweet, your company can use it free for a year. I can also guarantee that we won’t be suspending accounts for political reasons. But the best reason to use it is that it's better than Slack.

Humans are an API to ChatGPT. ChatGPT is an API to Python. Python is an API to C. C is an API to assembly. Assembly is an API to binary. Binary is an API to physics. Physics is an API to the machine that runs the universe. It's computation all the way down.

While the world is focused on FTX, the SEC vs. LBRY case has largely gone unnoticed. Will it define the crypto space, influence the Ripple case, serve as precedent, or just be another ruling? #LBRY #SEC #cryptomarket #DigitalAssets

It always amazes me that the majority of the public focuses primarily on the turmoil in the stock market... What is happening in the bond market this year is even more striking: This is the fourth worst year (after 1721, 1865 and 1920) in the last 322 years! ht #BOFA

@JohnPigott_ @balajis Exactly, if you think about that Westphalian moment, it was that Nation States recognized each other, regardless of religion. They didn’t wait for the Pope to recognize non-Catholic identity. They moved beyond the legacy framework & instead created a direct Network of States.

Outside the UN I challenged the Biden administration not to deal with a regime that kills women: "We aren't asking Biden to bring democracy for us. People of Iran are brave enough themselves. We don't want them to save us, we want them to stop saving the regime." #MahsaAmini

Well said, Mia! I know first hand that Mia’s administration works hard to protect the integrity of the Barbados 🇧🇧 banking system. They’re way ahead of the curve in fintech, but turned away potentially lucrative crypto-nonsense that even US opened up after regulatory capture
Moments ago, I gave a testimony to the US House Committee on Financial Services, on the impact of de-risking in the Caribbean. Unfair and unjust reports, requirements and potential blacklisting poses serious consequences for all aspects of our society. It can and must change.

Once, I thought that in a healthy society, scientists should be as famous among the public as musicians and artists. I no longer believe that and think of my old view as hopelessly naive. There's a good reason the skipper and not the professor was in charge on Gilligan's Island.

Aggressive #Fed policy has led to higher Treasury market volatility, a broader de-risking by investors and, in turn, wider credit spreads. But we are far from stresses that would trigger a default cycle. https://t.co/FRlA4crf6K
