On one day in March, the NYSE processed 330 billion transactions. Accurately. Ten days later, we’re still counting 140 million votes. Our children will laugh at us. Not because we didn’t have the technology. But because we had it and didn’t use it.
UPDATE: We are proud to announce, along with @BioNTech_Group, that our mRNA-based #vaccine candidate has, at an interim analysis, demonstrated initial evidence of efficacy against #COVID19 in participants without prior evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Running a company in 2020 is hard. It's no longer just about employees and shareholders. It's now also about stakeholders of which there are many:

The PGA Championship tees off today at San Francisco's TPC Harding Park, considered "the most unpretentious site ever to host a major".
Harding Park is a city-owned course that hosts over 65,000 rounds per year, costing as low as $50 to play.
Professional sports teams have far more access to Covid testing than public schools do, write @ScottGottliebMD and @MichaelRStrain. What does that say about what’s most important to American society? https://t.co/GPJHBqbzGc
@ScottWapnerCNBC naturally tailed @GilmanHill on the $STX trade from Monday. Curious how she is managing it. With expectations low and them missing is this dead in the water? Do i sell these and buy calls like everyone else? Im #torn
