Big World
From Exchange Invest 2099: Monday, July 12th:
While there was palpable disappointment in Valletta last evening that England lost to Italy in the European football, there was at least a sense of widespread relief in Malta that previous more important conflicts with the Axis powers were not resolved on penalties, like soccer.
Meanwhile, Richard Branson reaches the edges of outer space in his own spacecraft, returns successfully, and for some reason… Britain pretty much fails to notice.

Brexit: Done
Now the dust is settling, it’s interesting to reflect that by the June 30th deadline, more than 5 million EU citizens had applied for settled status in the UK.

Food for thought on so many levels.
