A $25 billion embarrassment (Ep. 47)

from Frankly Speaking

If you had the opportunity to spend $3 billion and get back $25 billion over time… Would you do it? Turns out, there are a select few New Yorkers who think it's a terrible idea. Today I discuss the news that Amazon will no longer build its HQ2 in New York… and what this says about our current political scene. In 2017, J.P. Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said Bitcoin was a fraud… But this week, J.P. Morgan announced it's creating its very own cryptocurrency. This is just another example of how blockchain technology is disrupting the financial industry like never before. And… It's official! We've launched our industry's first digital security, the Curzio Equity Owners token (CEO). I've been working on this for months… and investor response has been fantastic. I tell you all about it on today's show.

Are they really representative of mainstream America or are they just really aggressive and loud? I believe the adults just got tired of it and walked away, but their silence is not consent. This podcast is the test of that theory. If you see fit to tune in, I will present news of the day, analysis and commentary while doing my best to check my feelings at the door and let you, the listeners, decide what it means to you. No ominous music, no angry rants, just a relaxed conversation and positive vibe. Politics, for reasonable people. Ukraine - History in the Making Emil Juhler When I started the conversation series ”Ukraine - History in the Making” I could have never imagined where this journey would lead me. It all started in March 2023 after I got home from an exchange stay in Chile and felt, that I had to do more for Ukraine, than what I did on my social media accounts and on the streets in the spring and summer of 2022. I think most of us remember that initial period after Ruzzia’s the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Speaking from a European/Danish point of view it was a time of big fear, desperation and uncertainty, but also a time of high hopes, energy and big solidarity. In the very first conversation of the show with Veronika Netrebenko, she says the following about the feelings of Ukrainians during the Maidan Revolution: ”We understood we gotta fight for it, and it was something totally different, we felt different, we felt that we need to fight for it”.
