@judithheumann I last saw Judy at my dad's funeral and was just thinking I'd love to get back in touch with her. I remember her so vividly from my childhood, in my grandparents' living room outside DC, and on many other occasions. So very sad to hear this news.

@ronderby "For the majority, whether rates go up or decline matters very little in the short to medium term" - isn't this only true insofar as monetary policy doesn't affect mineral prices? (and hence the mining jobs upon which millions depend directly and indirectly)
