I’m just curious. How is it that South Korea, with a population of 51 million people, is testing hundreds of thousands, but the US — the richest country on planet earth — with a population of 360 million can’t get its act together? Please explain to me how this is possible. Thx

Serious question for @jack . If you think the @twitter Board is/was so dysfunctional and kept the company from being great as you imply either through your own tweets or replies to others why didn’t you do anything about it when you ran the company for several years?

Hearing from some big investors tonight that we could be on the cusp of a great scenario for stocks: A Biden presidency, A Republican Senate, No massive spending “to make the bond market go crazy,” No major tax hikes, A ton of liquidity, A vaccine and “no more of the chaos.”

Many of the loudest crypto hypesters got in early and made a killing, then evangelized to the world which sucked in the speculators who believed the hype and are now left badly hurt. And that just flat out sucks.

It’s not a store of value or an inflation hedge, or digital gold, or replacing the dollar, or 99 of the other nonsensical things the most hardened hypesters said. It’s a highly speculative “asset” class directly correlated to the highest of risk assets.
