SSAB - December 11, 2024

Where does a country’s central bank buy gold from? I mean, China didn’t allow the buying of gold for the last year then all of a sudden restarted just a month ago or so. McNally Robinson for lunch, do you still buy books?? Reading Crucial Conversations. Bought it years ago, never read it. Workout in! Squat did well, bench was done with dumbbells (got up to 65 lbs each hand) LinkedIn blocking my msgs now, BOSS Zhipin also a little confusing to touch base with people. I’m told Billibilli is the platform for young people these days. December Drumming updated. Tix looking expensive back to Beijing, but the market is popping. Will banks move? Donate to the show!
