- Don't know why Sen. Sanders picks on a retiree like me. I think he’s always looked down on me because he grew up in a fancier neighborhood in Brooklyn.Bernie Sanders published a list of “anti-endorsements” with quotes from JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, former Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein, and other luminaries of Wall Street and beyond. bit.ly/2O1s8oX
- Just landed from China, trying to catch up.... How did "infrastructure week" go?
- Surprised to be featured in Sen Warren’s campaign ad, given the many severe critics she has out there. Not my candidate, but we align on many issues. Vilification of people as a member of a group may be good for her campaign, not the country. Maybe tribalism is just in her DNA.
- View from our building today reminds me that despite all the sh*t, American values will shine through.
- The battery just ran out on my HP12C. Never gave it much thought, but I’ve used this calculator for 40 years. Still functional, looks current. Bet not many other consumer electronic devices out today will have that kind of run!
- Been quarantined with my wife for four weeks now. At this point I have more risk of getting killed by her than by a crummy virus.
- If Dems go on to nominate Sanders, the Russians will have to reconsider who to work for to best screw up the US. Sanders is just as polarizing as Trump AND he’ll ruin our economy and doesn’t care about our military. If I’m Russian, I go with Sanders this time around.
- Extreme measures to flatten the virus “curve” is sensible-for a time-to stretch out the strain on health infrastructure. But crushing the economy, jobs and morale is also a health issue-and beyond. Within a very few weeks let those with a lower risk to the disease return to work.
- Wish the moon wasn't the only thing casting a shadow across the country. We got through one, we'll get through the other. #SolarEclipse2017
- Boy, I really miss my old job!!!Lawmakers grill Wall Street bigwigs over risks to US economy trib.al/J2Deb37
- Hospitals are not overwhelmed; most of us will be exposed anyway since we can’t sequester until there’s a vax; and we know which groups need protection from worst outcomes. Is the public health benefit from broad lockdowns at this point worth such extreme damage to livelihoods?
- Still thinking about #Bitcoin. No conclusion - not endorsing/rejecting. Know that folks also were skeptical when paper money displaced gold.
- Never thought I'd hear Sen. Sanders criticize me for not paying higher wages at my old firm.Lloyd Blankfein, the former CEO of Goldman Sachs, is correct that the money from stock buybacks “doesn't vanish.” It increases the wealth of billionaires like him. Instead of making the very rich even richer, how about increasing wages for American workers. Is that a bad idea?
