Our position as the global financial leader is a privilege, not a right. Other countries have a head start on us in the development of digital assets. If we get this wrong, we handicap ourselves and put our future prosperity at risk.
@jamestmurphy_ Yeah, the companies that jam a bunch of junk into their products and then advertise "All Natural" "Multigrain" "No added sugar" etc. Oasis was trying to strip all of that garbage away for us the consumer.
@USMNT fan here — lived through the highs and lows, been to 2 World Cups in person ('94 right here in the US + '06 Germany).
Now the World Cup is BACK on our soil and I desperately want to take my kids to experience the magic... but @FIFA's constant greed (hi Sepp Blatter!) has made tickets so insanely expensive that a normal American family can't afford it.
Wake the hell up, FIFA! The World Cup belongs to the fans. Stop screwing over the people who actually love this game!
Farallon Capital Management under your direction held equity investments in major oil/gas companies and related firms such as:
$80 million in BP shares (2011) which has partnered with Chevron all across the globe.
$220 million in Nexen, the Canadian oil sands producer which was later bought by the Chinese National Oil company.
(China Good, Chevron Bad apparently.)
$125 million in Kinder Morgan which owns pipelines of which Chevron is an anchor shipper in those pipelines.
And natural gas equipment makers like Westport Innovations and Fuel Systems Solutions which make oil field services equipment used by ---
Chevron.
Your former hedge fund's $500,000,000 investment portfolio would probably disagree....
