Notes Today:

  • Tech firms’ shares fell further after reports that China had barred “more” employees at government-backed agencies and state companies from using iPhones. (Mini trade war with China – moving right along..)

  • Current US Community spread # of Covid

  • Not sure why anyone is surprised by Elon's Starlink interference in Ukraine. 
  • Ukrainian presidential adviser says deaths of civilians ‘the price of a cocktail of ignorance and big ego’.

  • ABC reports that the U.S. is now likely to send ATACMS to Ukraine.
  • Hong Kong was hit by its heaviest rainfall since records began, causing widespread flooding.  158mm of rain fell in one hour.

  • There's now just a 15% chance of a US recession over the next 12 months, according to Goldman Sachs...

 

Problem with these notes: some tend to run up against a deeply rooted feature of human cognition - the desire not to think about anything unpleasant…Sorry about that.
