“We’re only down 15% from the all-time high of Feb. 19,” Marks, co-founder of Oaktree Capital Management, said Monday. But “it seems to me the world is more than 15% screwed up.” (2 of 2)
"It took seven years to get back to the 2000 highs in 2007. It took 5½ years to get back to the 2007 highs in late 2012. So, is it really appropriate that, given all the bad news in the world today, we should get back to the highs in only three months?" -Howard Marks (1 of 2)
More than $2 billion of the first round of #PaycheckProtectionProgram funding was either declined or returned and will be made available during the current application period.
Already?? Trump‘s war on inspectors general is a war on gov’t competence and will inevitably drive #waste, #fraud, and #abuse. #DrainTheSwamp, Mr. President?

#askPreet - is this the domain of the FBI or only the Sen. Ethics Committee? What rules apply to other gov officials?

2 other #Senators have serious questions to answer: Senator Loeffler, #GOP#GA, and Sen. Perdue, GOP GA. Loeffler's transactions in particular are the result of either a somewhat clairvoyant money manager or illegal conduct. The #FBI needs to investigate post #covid.

I commend @JimInhofe, #GOP#OK, on his ethical decision to transition from stocks to mutual funds to avoid the temptation and appearance of impropriety. I have no question about transactions involving he or Sen Feinstein. Except how so many Sens. are multi-millionaires?

Senator Burr, #GOP#NC, downplayed #Covid_19 publicly while liquidating his investment portfolio and warning of "dire consequences" privately. While Americans are DYING and GOING BROKE, he banked millions. #SenatorBurr, you must resign.

Lesser known story of the election -- #gerrymandering takes a fatal blow in at least three states https://t.co/17YyrgG5pr. Even in this polarized environment we can all agree, down with the #gerrymander. #TakeBacktheVote.
Trust in news media is not declining; trust in print media seems to be increasing, regardless of political party, while trust in TV media is decreasing.
But #GOP voters find conspiracy-peddling Breitbart FAR more trustworthy than #WSJ and #NYTimes??
#Amazon to institute $15 min. wage next month. Huge for employees & glad to see massively profitable $amzn stop relying on gov't welfare to support low wage employees - https://t.co/PgerOFvbZL
The federal #deficit is exploding and will likely double during this presidency to 1tn+. This despite 8 years of solid economic growth - https://t.co/lveg19Ibze. Astounding.
