@mattyglesias FL, whose only two real industries-- tourism and real estate - both depend heavily on foreigners, has a lot to lose from MAGA's s---t-on-everyone philosophy. But DeSantis only cares about grabbing the mantle in 2028.

Emerging Markets for Non-Idiots: PUTIN'S DADDY ISSUES (WHICH ARE HIS SOLDIERS' GRAND-DADDY ISSUES) https://t.co/5yp1FOQclY

[Craig Mellow @Craig_Mellow]

A persuasive op-ed that shows how much productive middle ground exists between "tough on crime" and "defund the police"

A shrill, hysterical tone in #Putin mobilization speech that's hard to appreciate if you don't understand Russian. Coda threatening nukes was bona fide scary.

@maria_shagina @IISS_org Hi Maria. I'm a columnist for @barronsonline. Would like to interview this week for a piece on the Xi-Putin meeting. You can contact me at [email protected]. Thanks.

Looks like #UK #Tories have #GOP primary issues on steroids. Party members chose #Truss for #PM. 12% of public think she'll do a good job. 52% think she'll be "bad or terrible." https://t.co/LGOFb6978x

@davidhogg111 I haven't. Neither have my wife or mother-in-law.

#Biden's first really bad move on Ukraine, saying #Putin cannot stay in power. Just when #Russia may be giving up on total victory, not the time to start closing off-ramps.

#Putin's demand that #NaturalGas exports be paid in rubles is up there with #Erdogan's idea that high interest rates cause inflation. Take away #Russia's biggest source of hard currency? Brilliant Unfortunately for customers, it can't happen.

Uh-oh, even the #Swiss are ganging up on Russia. If the #Caymanislands come on board, this could get serious.

⚡️Hungary now supports cutting Russia off SWIFT.

Hungary was the last EU country who opposed the measure.

[Craig Mellow @Craig_Mellow]

@mattyglesias True. But Putin's dream that Ukes would "throw down their weapons" has not materialized either. Not the best time to get snarky, Matt.

[Craig Mellow @Craig_Mellow]

Chilling that NO ONE close to power in Russia has said enough is enough and quit. #Lavrov, #Peskov eg seemed like intelligent folks playing a role for kicks and patriotism. Now they've sleepwalked into complicity in #WarCrimes. Just obeying orders, I guess.

Here's a stunning stat: Biz leaders expect HALF their revenue 5 years from now to come from products/services that DON'T EXIST today. But what? https://t.co/BCrYly9jeq

#Grab IPO is second epic fail in two weeks for an #EmergingMarkets superapp after #PayTmIPO. But more focused issues are doing much better, like India's #Nykaa or #policybazaaripo. See my @barronsonline piece: https://t.co/I9HlX7mKHJ #EmergingTech

U.S. oil rig count has doubled over the past year, could double again to reach pre-pandemic levels. U.S. shale is the real swing producer. Price relief should be coming. https://t.co/kCojfkALxf
