today's bloomberg opinion had lot of interesting stories - they also show how finance connects with everything; unfortunately there is a contradiction between where american financiers and politicians are driving 4% of humans locked into usa and sustainability of 96% of other humans- a paradox arises when you are the worlds reserve currency - it is no longer possible for monetary policy to sustain your own peoples as you are being played by the worlds global organisations and whither the purposes of their market sectors are exponentially sustainable

America’s Downgrade Non-Crisis Turns 10Where were you on August 5, 2011? No idea? Here’s a hint: It was a day something historic and unthinkable happened. Those usually burn into your memory, right? Like the JFK assassination or the 9/11 attacks. But you could be forgiven for having no recollection of August 5, 2011, which was the day Standard & Poor’s downgraded its credit rating for the United States of America. It was indeed historic and shocking. But it was almost immediately forgettable, because it was so meaningless. Other rating agencies ignored it, and America has had no trouble getting loans in the decade since. Nevertheless, John Chambers, the former S&P analyst responsible for the downgrade, recently told Brian Chappatta that he has no regrets. The political dysfunction that inspired the downgrade (remember the ridiculous debt-ceiling fight?) has only gotten worse, he says. Even the $2 trillion mistake by the rating agency in forecasting the country’s future debt burden has been rendered moot by the wild spending and tax-cutting we’ve seen in recent years. S&P has had plenty of chances to upgrade the U.S. from AA+ but has repeatedly declined, as recently as this week.  Of course, credit ratings only have meaning if society agrees they have meaning, like money or Libor or Christopher Nolan films. The financial crisis taught us hard lessons about giving ratings too much power. And again, the U.S. still has no trouble borrowing, despite all the dysfunction and spending and whatnot. But Democrats must think Chambers is at least partly onto something, given they plan to raise taxes to help pay for their next big spending package. Read the whole thing. Further Political-Dysfunction Reading: A " talking filibuster" won't solve the Senate’s filibuster problem because the GOP is perfectly willing to spend as much time as it takes reading Green Eggs and Ham or whatever. — Jonathan Bernstein
The Next Elon Musk Spricht DeutschVolkswagen today became Germany’s most valuable company, which is a little like becoming the best baseball player in AAA. Its $166 billion market cap would put it maybe in the top 50 of U.S. public companies, and mathematics informs us that’s just a fraction of Tesla’s $650 billion. Still, you’ve gotta start somewhere, and VW is on the rise because it's looking more and more like a true rival to Tesla, writes Chris Bryant. They also have a longer track record of producing vehicles. Now it’s focusing on software and batteries with a view toward electrifying half its new cars by 2030. On the downside, VW also has an old-line automaker’s high costs, including gazillions of employees. But VW might also have an easier time scaling up than Tesla has, making Herbert Diess a real threat to take Elon Musk’s Technoking crown. Building a Biden DoctrineIt’s early days yet, but President Joe Biden isn’t exactly reviving every aspect of his old boss’s foreign policy. That may be a good thing. For example, Eli Lake notes, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, ahead of a meeting with Chinese officials in Alaska tomorrow, has used some surprisingly tough language about Beijing’s aggression and treatment of Uyghurs. This might help reassure regional allies that Biden won’t be as forgiving as Barack Obama or as unfocused as Donald Trump about China’s threat. Less encouraging, so far at least, has been Biden’s attitude toward Syria, writes Bobby Ghosh. Obama infamously drew a “red line” there and let Bashar al-Assad cross it. Trump didn’t make such a glaring mistake but was still too passive. Biden’s actions so far promise more of the same. Syria is too important for such neglect, Bobby writes, requiring more aggression — including, God forbid, the enforcement of red lines. Bonus Foreign-Policy Reading: Boris Johnson’s “Global Britain” vision is ambitious, but expensive. — Therese Raphael Telltale ChartsAs Jay Powell suggested today, dismissing market agita about the threat of higher prices, inflation isn’t even close to becoming a problem. Nir Kaissar points out the nightmarish stagflation of the 1970s built up very slowly and with plenty of warning. Policy makers won’t let that happen again.  Further ReadingThe CDC’s six-foot-distance rule keeps kids out of schools despite studies showing a three-foot distance is just as safe. — Bloomberg’s editorial board Facebook must confront its vaccine-skeptic problem. — Tim O’Brien Fighting the Purdue bankruptcy deal because it strips too little from the Sacklers risks keeping money from victims. — Joe Nocera A new study shows Keynes was right about real estate being riskier than it seems. — John Authers We’ve been mistakenly blaming margin debt for market crashes since the ‘20s. — Stephen Mihm Racial bias in NFL concussion tests deprives Black players of settlement money. — Cathy O’Neil The NFT craze is no different from other parts of the art market. — Tyler Cowen ICYMIThe IRS is delaying the tax-filing deadline.

revolutionary debates in education and funancing and glasgow's role in 2021
3 very different topics-
#1asianow scheduling all 3 transformative education summits in december 2021 two in uae one in hong kong is - do you have any travel schedule uae spring yet?
nigeria (elder brown nets rs )
china research ai education jc
#2 every week more is emerging on glasgow's centrality to climate and sustainability debates in november- do your friends at skipton or elsewhere intent to participate at glasgow- i am now 13 years into debates at glasgow university on what adam smith would think of the chaos machines and economist have spun and is there any way out for youth; #3 digital money raises 4 sorts of question - 1 it actually offers huge advantages to those most isolated unbanked people- eg china says tibet is the highest user of digial transactions; 2 it raises questions- which nations wish to reverse credit cards- this first app of tech caused huge family debt; 3rd blockchain and fintech merges in sectors that are being completely redesigned- eg electric trucking will need to redesign locations of energy station; this turns the truck into smart device maximising trip hireouts and energy station firs- blockchain can mediate that; 4 which nations want to change the dollar as worlds reserve currency - china has started - its closing down the value of china sticks quoted in usa wherever they are part of banking systems- see this extract Tencent (OTCPK:TCEHY],OTCPK:TCTZF) shares fell 4.4% on Friday and dropped over 4% during Monday trading in Hong Kong, finishing up the day down 3.5%.
The over $60B pullback has essentially wiped out the value of its fintech and payments business, which Bernstein puts at a $105-120B valuation.
Last week, Bloomberg sources said Chinese regulators were focusing on Tencent after cracking down on Jack Ma's Ant Group. Tencent could also be forced to restructure its financial and insurance units into a holding company for tighter regulatory scrutiny.
footnote related to economistdiary.com
every week new debates are being stimulated by people making up glasgow calendar -there is a lot of tension- glaswegians wanted to keep nations politics to minium; london and g7 organisers are maximising it- i will start blogging some of these topics at www.economistbank.com - notable whatever glasgow handsover to education now has 3 world class asian stages in december - dubai is where whole of un and gordon brown is updating edu transformation - qatar, hong kong are the summits fazle abee inspired; there are now many rumors that china is going to take global finance to a new platform at beijing olympics - it has devalued us quoted stocks alibaba and tencent so that americans cannot influence digital yuan; schwarzman and tsinghua scholars in midst of this as beijing mayor bridge between scholars and olympics- meanwhile vaccinations appear to be designed so only the powerful can travel during the 12 last chance months for youths sustianability
footnote from economistfuture.com - keynes must be rolling in his grave- having explained the greatest risk to our species was powering old academics to exclude youth from what futures are possible- this is what americans economic gurus have used both lawyers and non-transparent venture funds to do especially with media and everything von neumann created for youth to celebrayte

zoom clinton community finance
With support from
Lead Session Partner
Supporting Series Partners
PROGRAM
Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) and Minority Depository Institutions (MDIs) often serve as a bridge between low-income communities, economic resources, and access to capital. This is all the more evident and important following the events of 2020 with corporations, philanthropists, and government institutions further recognizing the power of these community lenders to accelerate a much-needed economic recovery. For well over 25 years, CDFIs and MDIs have reached communities who have been historically excluded from the financial mainstream – and today, they are reaching those who are struggling to survive financially during the COVID-19 pandemic. With unprecedented financial support in 2020, including $12 billion in federal aid through the Cares Act, the CDFI industry will be at the forefront of the much-needed work to address the issues of economic equity and inclusion that have stymied community and small business growth especially in Black, Latino, and Native American communities across the US.
There is more work still to be done. In this virtual event, leaders will identify ways to deploy more capital, build innovative products and services, and educate investors and borrowers alike. These actions will support the CDFI industry so that it can continue to make meaningful strides to close America’s longest-standing wealth and opportunity gaps while powering an inclusive economic recovery.
