Reporter. Reporting on when and how business goes bad.
Being a China hawk (at least on trade issues) is the only rational position. I've covered corporate fraud for decades and it's one of their biggest exports to the US.

That strikes me as a pretty good bargain, with the proviso that I've no idea what a real bargain is for sporting events in GBP.

The sad thing about the cost of attending live sport "fixtures" in the US is they're ~ out of reach for all but the richest fans

Damn that looks like a pretty civilized way to take in a match. Probably doesn't murder the banking account either? I guess the US equivalent would be AA or AAA minor league baseball.

Recently, no. I would point to the GFC as evidence the first at what G-S would have ably prevented.

POTUS banking performative non-events that appear to be deliverables to his base.

Totally! 99% of the conference attendees are liberal-to-centrist Dems, and we all see it as performative foolishness.

It's honey, however, to Bari Weiss and the GOP, who can weave it into whatever narrative they need

That's the far left for you

Yes, a bunch of times. I attend an annual journalism conference at Cal Berkeley. (One of my favorite conferences, and one of my favorite places, btw)
