From Exchange Invest 2136: 24th, August 2021: (Tuesday)
“The old establishment, the Democrats and Republicans who intervened and surged in Afghanistan, are just not that competent. It was they who committed America to build a foreign democracy in the midst of a civil war — a tall order for a nation that can’t even free Britney Spears.”

EI WEEKLY PODCAST 109
CME Group denied rumours of a bid for CBOE global markets this week in a $16 billion deal apparently happening according to the Financial Times. It was one of those brutal put-downs of the never talk, know nothing about it, good grief, nothing to see here, etc, etc, etc genre. Quite spectacular all together.

For TotalEnergies, it’s an opportunity to test fuels that will help with a wider push to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
