More proof that the world is going insane. Was this an add against the iPad? Ironically it inspired my first tweet in many years. I like this version IN reverse. Wow. I hate silicon valley even more now. Did they really like this add? WHAT

@tim_cook I think the ad would work much better if it was reversed. All the objects should be expanding out of the iPad rather than being crushed into it made this edited version in five minutes (thanks iMovie!)

Also... @JoeBiden should make a one term pledge. He is old, and this will steal @realDonaldTrump's thunder and help him restore/heal the nation. Will make people excited and show he is different. Media will go nuts and give + coverage.

Bernie for VP. Biden good with old people, Bernie with young people. Biden strong with black voters, Bernie doing well with Hispanics. Biden moderate, Bernie liberal. Biden with more votes, Bernie with the enthusiasm (and voters who might not vote for any1 else).

It's 3 am. The phone rings. You are informed that 1,000 people in Charleston have been diagnosed with the corona virus. What is your response? #DemDebate2020

It’s a shame this team doesn’t get the local support it deserves... Orlando, Portland, Nashville...shoot Tampa! Please, get this team a stadium and a city who will show up! nytimes.com/2019/05/16/spo…

Mnuchin is talking up the market to keep Trump happy. China is talking it down. They know our prez will change his mind if market falls! He cares most about his own portfolio and thinks the market is the best poll of his performance and the economy. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

If it were like .9% and getting close to 0 I would be worried, but it doesn't seem like deflation is a threat at the moment.

Is it just me, or is this new narrative that fed should lower rates bc inflation is only 1.6% odd? Hasn't it been around there for many years? Isn't it pretty close to the 2% goal (and isn't under better than over)? Don't labor market indicators say it should rise on its own?

@JustinKlein1 @DukeU @regis @DukeAlumni Why does it say Peter Klein?

Welp, my @DukeU 20th Reunion weekend kicking off...🔵😈 @Regis eat your heart out with this shirt and tie combo.

@MedtechDavid @MedTechStrat Congrats Dave. I am happy to hear that. If you need a freelancer please do let me know. I wrote an article for them in the past.

Personal news: I'm excited to join @MedTechStrat to launch a new focus of coverage: global regulatory and reimbursement issues facing the device + Dx industry. Looking forward to working with this team of deep #medtech experts + engaging with all of you great pros in the space.

Check out my blog from the #SmithGoesGlobal visit to China. @Walmart is doing some neat e-commerce stuff like 1-hour grocery delivery and personalized sales on the app. It is aided by a lack of concern about privacy. Encountering @SamsClub in China blogs.rhsmith.umd.edu/globalsmith/un…

Thank you to our amazing tour guide Regina for showing us the @InterConHK owned by @IHG. The best part was the Presidential Suite. Amazing room and views of Hong Kong. It was fun to pretend to be able to afford it (~$15,000 /night). I recommend it. #SmithGoesGlobal.

Thank you @VarunSaxena2 for sharing some amazing pictures during your #China journey. Featured here are MBA students sharing a meal, taking selfies and visiting @ColliersAsia . We look forward to receiving more updates! @SmithSchool #SmithGoesGlobal

Smith MBA students get to tour amazing mega projects in the #UAE during their winter break. Here are a few pictures of the #Dubai design district. #SmithGoesGlobal

Some nice views from Yantian Harbor in Shenzhen. It is the biggest single container port in the world and where 1/4th of China's exports to the US begin their journey. Our guide said he is worried about the trade war, understandably. #SmithGoesGlobal @SmithSchool

@SridharPappu @NUFBFamily I am in Singapore too! Going to Marina Bay Sands casino. Any chance of seeing you there. Would be so random and cool Hahaha

The first thing I did when arriving in Singapore was to watch the @NUFBFamily in The Holiday Bowl. Because, you know, priorities. I’m sooo glad I did.

@paulkrugman Either he knows something we don't, or he is an idiot. Neither scenario is comforting.

What with the shutdown, not getting much attention -- but notice how our "populist" administration is punishing the poor when even Rs in Congress didn't want to go there nytimes.com/2018/12/20/us/…

My theory: It's all about being able to show y/y earnings growth. Companies are doing all their hiring now bc it is easy to show earnings growth thanks to the tax cut. Once cuts get factored into the equation, hiring will stop (in part bc they've filled their needs in advance).

A good point. Imagine how much the market will fall if there is a clear catalyst like a bad jobs report or an unexpected rate hike. (Actually, I have no idea how much it would. Lol.)
