This tone will collapse the Fund. It is a members’ fund, not a government depository.
investments are research-based, Government should not seek to put a straw into the Fund and forcefully draw from it when it is not itself a contributor.
Let them touch pensions instead.
🇺🇸🇨🇳 The most powerful room in the U.S. now has a new picture of a huge moment: Trump and Xi, sitting across from each other in the Oval.
The 3 day state visit is done.
Trump already locked in 2 more meetings before year’s end, China in November and Miami in December.
Xi kept the public tone steady, talking about healthy competition and staying inside the lines.
This is still a race between the 2 biggest powers on earth.
It does't have to look like the last century’s Cold War to matter.

In 2018, Nike let Roger Federer walk rather than pay him roughly $10M a year. He signed with a small Swiss running brand called On instead, and took an ownership stake.
When On went public in 2021, that stake was worth around $300M. His career prize money from 20 Grand Slams and 24 years of tennis was $130M. The equity made him more than double what the entire playing career did.
Kylian Mbappé just ran the same play.
He'd worn Nike since he was 8 years old. Twelve signature Mercurials. His contract quietly expired on July 31 and he let it die, and the reporting on the On deal describes equity in the company, his own signature sub-brand, direct work with the product teams, and a term around ten years.
So he's now a part-owner of an $11B company that sells its first football boot in 2027. Nike was paying him to advertise Mercurials. On has him sharing in whatever the boots earn, which for a 27-year-old with a decade-long deal is a very different bet.
On also knew exactly who to send. Thierry Henry came in as Director of Football and reportedly played a big role in getting the deal done. Nike had 19 years and unlimited money and still lost him to a recruiter.
Federer's version of the trade took two years to pay off. Mbappé's boot hits the market before his next World Cup.
I tried to walk 150,000 steps in a day. The theoretical limit for maximum steps possible; need to maintain a brisk pace above 6,250 steps/hour for the full 24 hours
As far as I'm aware, no one has ever reached 150,000 steps without running (which accumulates steps faster)
Yesterday,President Yoweri Museveni celebrated his 82nd birthday with his dedicated staff at state house Entebbe. Happy belated birthday President Museveni.
If someone with this much hatred towards me existed, I would shield any of my children from them. Now, I have no proof of anything....but I have proof of the hatred and vitriol this man has towards the Queen Mother. It's bordering on insanity/obsession.
